Since 2009, an Alabama player has been chosen in the first round of the NFL draft every year.
On April 24, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, several athletes will try to continue that 16-year run in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Two former Crimson Tide players were selected in the first round of the NFL on SI’s first-round mock draft, which was made public on Tuesday.
According to the writers, linebacker Jihaad Cambell was taken No. 29 by the Washington Commanders, and offensive lineman Tyler Booker was selected 24th overall by the Minnesota Vikings.
SI’s mock draft for the first round did not include quarterback Jalen Milroe.
The head coach of the Vikings has stated that improving the interior offensive line is a top focus for Minnesota this summer, according to John Pluym, NFL editor for Sports Illustrated.
Pluym remarked, “Booker, a 6′ 5″, 325-pound immovable force, is the perfect way to reinforce that line and should also assist boost the play of center Garrett Bradbury.”
According to NFL writer David Harrison, Campbell would fit right in Washington.
“Washington has to look to impact the passing game with this pick,” Harrison stated.
“They can do so by drafting offensive line, secondary, or pass rush help and with Campbell, the Commanders get a versatile defender who can help on all three downs in various ways while eyeing OL and DB help on Day 2 of the draft.”
