No program has become more synonymous with the first round than Alabama. Since 2000, 31 different Crimson Tide players have been taken on the first day.
That crop has had some major successes, a few major busts and a lot of players who fall somewhere in between. Here’s how we think all 31 rank:
31. Reuben Foster
Linebacker — Drafted 31st by the 49ers in 2017
If we were ranking this list by sheer talent, Foster might be near the top. Unfortunately his behavior has ensured he’ll stay near the bottom of this ranking. Though considered a can’t-miss prospect at linebacker, Foster fell in the draft after arguing with a student hospital worker at the combine and then turning in a diluted drug test. After an impressive rookie campaign, he was arrested for a weapons and drug offense in June 2018 before being arrested for domestic violence in November 18. He was claimed off waivers by the Redskins in November 2018 but tore his ACL in May 2019 and missed the entire ensuing season.
