🏈 Alabama football in the 2023 NFL Draft

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

4 WR's in a row now with Addison to Vikings after not having any WR's before this run.

This will likely be the first year since 2016 we don’t have either a WR or DB picked in the first round. If I am remembering correctly. Hopefully Kool-Aid will start that streak again next year.

Branch, rest will go late 2nd to 7th round.

You're not even thinking of Steen and Ricks.

No I wasn't! Crap I had to go and find all that was in the NFL Draft. Miss those two!

Bills trade up... They like Brian Branch... so maybe it happens here...

Nope, they go TE. Bummer. Would have been a good spot for Branch.

If I had to watch TV draft coverage, I'd watch NFL network... I can't do ESPN. I don't mind Kiper that much... but guys like Booger? Can't do it.

Kiper is annoying to me simply because he thinks he's better and smarter than everyone else. When he speaks he looks like an old kung fu film with how serious he looks and the words don't match his bobbing head

Baring a trade, this Saints pick is the best chance lest in round 1 for Levis (or Hooker).

I don't care for the way he talks/his style... but I don't believe he takes himself too seriously off camera.

Eagles take Nolan Smith... 2 UGA guys on defense for them in round 1. Really good value with the Smith pick...

Neither Brian Branch nor Will Levis were drafted tonight. Didn't see that coming.

Branch is the better player but Levis not getting drafted was more surprising just based on how NFL teams freak out over QB’s. Levis has done a lot to hurt himself though (like rejecting the Sr. Bowl) and very little to help himself during the process. He’s finding out now that the teams had a lower value of him than he placed on himself. The Raiders really like him though, so that is a strong possibility in round 2…

I am not impressed with him. From what they expected out of him in high school, I say he fell way short of expectations. Yes, he won the combine, but how many times have we heard that song? I may eat crow, but I suspect we never hear much from him in the NFL. I've warmtched his career closely and feel he benefitted more from the guys around him rather than being a difference maker himself.

I hope Branch falls to the Falcons. He won't, but would be nice for him to play at home and strengthen our defense from Day 1.

Branch in a lot of mock drafts and others wasn't a first rounder. He's probably going to have his name called very early today though I'd say likely in the first 5 picks.

Levis is a bit of a shocker, he was projected in a lot of drafts to be higher than CJ Stroud, we knew that teams after the first couple of picks didn't really need a QB so after it got past those there's no telling how far he may fall now. I thought this would be Stroud honestly, not Levis.

The Levis situation does not surprise me IMO he is not first round talent there was a reason he could not beat out Clifford at PSU.
Watching him this past year he crumbles under pressure.

The Van Ness kid’s dad was the real winner on the night. His dad slapped the son’s girlfriend’s ass a couple of times as they were celebrating the pick. Odd moment!
