Latest Mel Kiper mock draft has 5 Alabama players drafted in 1st round

Mel Kiper from ESPN has five Alabama players going in the first round in his most recent mock draft for the 2020 NFL Draft.

“I thought about CeeDee Lamb here, but ultimately this class is much deeper with wide receivers than it is with offensive tackles. And if the Jets can get a starting tackle with Wills and address the receiver position in Round 2 (No. 48), that’s better than the inverse. They could get two immediate starters in the top 50 picks. According to my friends at ESPN Stats & Information, the Crimson Tide averaged 7.7 yards per rush outside the right tackle in 2019, which ranked third in the FBS. Wills would help get Le’Veon Bell going.”
