Alabama has seen up to seven of its former players mocked in the first round of the various draft pundits’ 2020 NFL Draft. But Mel Kiper Jr. only had four in his latest projections.

On Tuesday, the ESPN draft analyst released that mock, and all four of the Crimson Tide standouts went within the first 15 picks, starting with Tua Tagovailoa going No. 5 to the Miami Dolphins.

Below is a breakdown of each Alabama pick, what Kiper had to say about it and our reaction.

5. Miami Dolphins – Tua Tagovailoa, Quarterback

The Dolphins have three first-round picks and two second-round picks, but their best-case scenario is to stay put, get their quarterback of the future and pick up starters on Day 1 and Day 2 of the draft. With the offseason quarterback carousel mostly completed — Jameis Winston, Andy Dalton and Cam Newton still need to find new teams — Miami is in the best spot to draft its guy. Tagovailoa, who’s rehabbing after dislocating his right hip and suffering a posterior wall fracture in November, was planning to throw for NFL teams on April 9, but that’s up in the air. There’s a chance teams won’t get to see him go through a full workout; they’ll have to trust his tape — and trust their medical staffs, who will have a clear view of where Tagovailoa is with his injury now.

Our take: It is surprising to see Miami land Tagovailoa at No. 5 overall. Yes, it’s possible the Washington Redskins will choose to stand pat and draft Ohio State’s Chase Young, but if that happens, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Los Angeles Chargers try to move up from No. 6 to draft the former Heisman- runner up.
