On Monday, Sporting News released a new NFL Mock Draft that might surprise some of you. Here are the 5 Crimson Tide players who are predicted to go in the first round:

No 2. pick: Wide Receiver, Jerry Jeudy 

Jeudy is predicted to be drafted by the Washington Wizards. Jeudy has the skill set, talent, and leadership qualities the Redskins desperately need. Just imagine Jeudy pairing up with Terry McLaurin, and it’s an offensive duo capable of dominating.

No. 5 pick: Quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa 

Tagovailoa is predicted to be drafted by the Miami Dolphins. It’s evident that the Dolphins need a franchise QB, and Tagovailoa is the perfect fit. There are questions regarding his injury, and whether he will recover 100%. If he’s able to, there’s no doubt that Tagovailoa’s skill set will bring hope to a team who is looking for a miracle.

No. 22 pick: Cornerback, Trevon Diggs

Diggs is predicted to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings. Diggs is the perfect guy for the Vikings, a team who needs several leaders on defense. With Diggs’ size, speed, and strength, he has the capability to make an impact as a rookie.

No. 25 pick: Wide Receiver, Henry Ruggs III

Ruggs is predicted to be drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles. Eagles’ quarterback Carson Wentz is looking for a dominant wide receiver to make big plays. Ruggs has the speed, vision, and skill set to become a big name for the Eagles.

No. 30 pick: Inside Linebacker Dylan Moses 

Moses is predicted to be drafted by the New England Patriots. Although Moses missed the 2019 season with a torn ACL, he’s expected to make a full recovery and has the ability and talent to make a big impact on whichever team he lands on.
