With the 2020 season completed, players have begun looking ahead toward a professional career. The Senior Bowl showcased plenty of star power, especially some high-profile Alabama stars.
The NFL has one game remaining, but 30 franchises and their fans have already been glued to mock drafts and analysis to see who their favorite team may draft.
With only a few months to go, the projections are starting to clear up, and teams are homing in on particular players.
The latest USA TODAY mock draft by Luke Easterling predicts six Crimson Tide stars will be drafted in the first round.
Here’s where they land:
31. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Christian Barmore, DL
Barmore was a leader in the defensive front for Alabama in 2020, but his draft value visibly slid from top-10 to the bottom half of the first round. The Tampa Bay defense has proven one of the strongest in the league, aiding in their Super Bowl run. Barmore would be a steal this late in the first round and has the potential to be an immediate starter and difference maker.
