Alabama Projected to Have Multiple First Round Picks in 2026 NFL Draft
Alabama Projected to Have Multiple First Round Picks in 2026 NFL Draft originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Since 2017, the Alabama Crimson Tide football team has had at least two players selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. This April, Alabama offensive guard Tyler Booker and linebacker Jihaad Campbell went in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Advertisement The Dallas Cowboys selected Booker with the 12th overall pick, while the Eagles traded with the Kansas City Chiefs to acquire the 31st overall selection and land Campbell. According to one prominent social media giant, Alabama is again expected to provide the NFL ranks with more first-round talent in 2026. Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen David Mercer-Imagn Images On Tuesday, CBS Sports and 247Sports released their 2026 NFL Mock Draft, with two Crimson Tide athletes being early draft selections. CBSSports' Ryan Wilson has Alabama offensive lineman Kadyn Proctor going to the Cleveland Browns with the second overall pick. In this hypothetical NFL, Proctor would likely become the top tackle assigned to protect second-year quarterbacks Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. Advertisement With the 13th overall pick, Wilson has the Seattle Seahawks adding defensive line help in the form of Alabama's LT Overton. Last season, his first with Alabama, Overton recorded 42 tackles, three tackles for loss, and a pair of sacks. A former five-star recruit, Overton played for the Texas A&M Aggies in 2022 and 2023. With the selections of Proctor and Overton, it will mark a decade-long streak of multiple first-round picks for the Alabama Crimson Tide. 2016 is the last time Alabama did not have multiple first-round selections, with center Ryan Kelly being the lone draftee in the first 32 picks. The 2008 NFL Draft was the last time Alabama did not have a first-round pick, which occurred on the heels of Nick Saban's second year with the program.
