Two Alabama Players Listed in Latest Sports Illustrated First-Round Mock Draft

A player from Alabama has been selected in the first round of the NFL draft each year dating back to 2009. A few different players are looking to extend that 16-year streak in the 2025 NFL Draft on April 24 in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

NFL on SI released a first-round mock draft on Tuesday and had two former Crimson Tide players getting picked in the first round. The group of writers have offensive lineman Tyler Booker being selected 24th overall to the Minnesota Vikings, and linebacker Jihaad Cambell going No. 29 to the Washington Commanders. Quarterback Jalen Milroe was not in SI's mock draft for the first round.

John Pluym, Sports Illustrated's NFL editor, noted that Vikings head coach has made it clear that fixing the interior offensive line is a priority for Minnesota this offseason.

"What better way to solidify that line than with Booker, a 6' 5", 325-pound immovable force who should also help elevate the play of center Garrett Bradbury," Pluym said.

NFL writer David Harrison sees Campbell as a good fit in Washington.

"Washington has to look to impact the passing game with this pick," Harrison said. "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."
