Alabama football will likely have a couple players hear their names called during the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. The question is, who?

ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper predicts that two Crimson Tide players will be among the first-round selections. Neither is quarterback Jalen Milroe.

Kiper, in his latest NFL mock draft, projected that Alabama guard Tyler Booker will be the highest selection for a Crimson Tide player. Kiper predicts the Arizona Cardinals will take Booker with the No. 16 overall pick.

“Booker might be the best pure guard in the class,” Kiper wrote. “He’s strong at the point of attack, and no one gets past him. And he’s rugged in the run game, getting to the second level to clear lanes.”

Then the very next pick, Kiper projects the Cincinnati Bengals will take Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell.

Otherwise, Kiper doesn’t see any other Alabama players selected on the first day of the draft. He mentioned Milroe potentially for the Los Angeles Rams at No. 26 as one of the options at quarterback for the Rams to draft and develop. But Kiper ultimately predicted the Rams will draft Oregon tackle Josh Conerly Jr.

The NFL Draft will start on Thursday, April 24 in Green Bay, Wi
