Alabama will not have a first-round NFL Draft pick

Alabama's 18 consecutive years with a first-round NFL draft pick is one of the most impressive streaks in college football. It is going to end this year. I believe that Alabama does not have a first-round NFL draft pick on the roster, and the big boards largely back me up. Devin Tompkins is the only one in CBS Sports Top 32. He comes in at number 15 right now. Devin Tompkins is not the number 15 prospect in the country. I don't see it one bit. You look, yes, he's got the athleticism. he's got the physical traits he's got the strength he's got the size he has the versatility that every NFL team looks for on that defensive front but he doesn't have the production to go along with it like it's just when you look at the way he's risen right you had an initial rise over the first few weeks of the season which made sense because of how he was producing but then over these past couple weeks as the production stalled he's continued to rise so where does this rising in the stock coming from it feels like a bit of an overreaction that will be corrected over really the next couple months provided Tompkins doesn't start producing again at least if he starts producing again that's a different story but I don't see it happening at this point in the season and you look at Yonze Pierre he's a guy who's been kind of punished with his stock falling a little bit due to a lack of getting home lack of finishing plays you have Zabian Brown who really, Zabian is who we thought he was. I think he's a nice football player. I think he's a second round pick who goes on to have a solid NFL career. Don't think he's anything can't miss. And Ryan Coleman Williams right now, I get a lot of it's out of his control with the injury. Could we be looking at a world where he doesn't even go into the draft? He returns to Alabama. I think it's very possible given what he'd be making, you know, as a senior at Alabama in a year with the opportunity to truly make a statement and become a first round pick in the future in year two of the Keelan Russell offense there's no one else on the team right the only other candidates coming in were Austin Mack if he potentially had a you know really Ty Simpson's season or Bray Hubbard if he took a step forward Bray Hubbard hasn't so you have four candidates it doesn't look like it'll be Ryan so I'm going to cut it down to three I think Pierre and Tompkins are probably your most likely but we need production to come from those two that they haven't shown so far so i think the streak will end and Alabama doesn't have a player taken in day one of the NFL draft in April
