Alabama Football: Crimson Tide's Top 2017 NFL Draft Prospects

Published by Bleacher Report on Mon, 02 May 2016


TUSCALOOSA, Ala.The numbers are simply staggering.Since 2008, when Nick Saban was coming off his first season with the University of Alabama football team and the Crimson Tide didnt have a player picked in the National Football Leagues annual draft, the program has had 55 selections.Thats more than an entire NFL team in the fall, when the roster limit is just 53.Of them, 18 players went in the first round and 12 in the second, including five last weekend. If the rosters hold, just five teams wont have at least one former Crimson Tide player participating in training campthe Bears, Broncos, Browns, Buccaneers and Steelers.Keep that in mind with the following statement: Alabama could have its best draft ever in 2017, both in terms of quality and quantity.Yes, better than 2011 and 2012 when it enjoyed four first-round selections in back-to-back years, and Alabama might finally top its long-standing record of 10 draft picks in 1945, when teams were desperate to fill rosters due to World War II. The Crimson Tides final selection that year was made in the 32ndround.Before getting to Alabamas top-10 draft prospects for next year, consider that the list doesnt include jack-of-all-trades defensive back Maurice Smith or long snapper Cole Mazza, who are both seniors.It also doesnt include numerous promising juniors like cornerback Tony Brown, wide receiver Robert Foster, linebacker Rashaan Evans, linebacker Shaun Dion Hamilton, punter JK Scott or wide receiver ArDarius Stewart.The potential is for something like Ohio State accomplished this year, with five first-round selections and 12 players overall.Begin Slideshow
