Link: ESPN Projects Alabama to Have 17 Players Drafted

[sanjosecrimson]

150 prospects, 12 schools, 7 rounds: We stacked players in the CFP by NFL draft stock

From Indiana to James Madison, we picked out every CFP player who could factor into the 2026 NFL draft and slotted them by stock from Round 1 to Round 7.

If they all declare and get drafted, it would be a school record and tie for the most since Texas in 1984.

This is an interesting insight into the overall talent level of the team

Overton's health is obviously a major factor, and not looking great at the moment for him

Been saying from Day 1 it’s the most talented roster in the country.

4 offensive Linemen projected to get drafted. Let that sink in!

"projected" is the key word. Doesn't mean they will. I get your point though. NFL scouts must be seeing something we don't.

Let's hope they finally play like it Friday night.

Then my question would be, why does it currently look like we have no real, consistent difference makers on either side of the ball?

And if all four of them go to the NFL and succeed it will make me sick and let me know the problem was the coaching. I still think a lot of it is the coaching and a change has to be made after the season at OL coach.

A lot of is coaching, yes.

But its also a big change in scheme. Saban had recruiting some behemoths at the end, these behemoths can't handle the speed rush in a now predominantly passing scheme.

They also can't handle exotic blitzes either, they look lost a lot of the time. I don't understand how that's been allowed to happen at this level.

One other contributing factor is Ty changing the play every single time.....and I mean every single pre-snap read is a change of the play. Which Oklahoma took advantage of and showed everyone what to do with us. Give Ty a read, know what he's likely to change the play to, change the defense right before the snap to the play he likely changed to.

That's the big tendency I hope they have been able to break since the SECCG. If they have not, there's no point in watching the game, we will lose and be lucky to score 10 points. Also, its very telling to me about this staff if they can't adjust here and give the offense a chance.

There is a rumor that we are headed that way

I hope it turns out to be true. We CANNOT (under any circumstance) have another OL next season like this season.

I also wonder how much is the guys on the OL don't even hear the change in play with all of the crowd noise. With as many times as Ty changes the play there have to be some instances where the guys just flat out don't hear it.

Yes... Grubb seems kinda stubborn about it. But... We are failing on multiple levels.

I am hopeful they will get the recruiting done and really bunker down and sort this out.

Roberts hasn't played all season... Not sure the draft is his friend.

Several others seem at least premature.

Roberts will get a mid round grade based on the previous 2 years. He was a beast in ‘23 and ‘24. And no one said they will get drafted, I mean 17 is a reach IMO. But the fact they are getting recognized as potential NFL talent is the point.

We definitely miss him in the middle.

This has been one of my biggest questions all year. Dude was awesome before this season - like as good as Booker awesome - and this year in limited reps has looked good every time he's been in. I still consider him to be our best IOL. I just don't get it unless he's done something to **** off the coaches.

There was a report early in the season that his mom got involved on social media. I can’t say if the posts attributed to her were accurate or not, but they were damning to the coaching staff.
