The 2017 NFL draft is less than a week away, and several college teams across the country will be represented as their players’ names get called by commissioner Roger Goodell. One draft streak that will be tied on Thursday night is that for the longest consecutive stretch with a first-round draft pick. The Florida Gators had the second-longest from 1983-91 with a first-round selection.
The Miami Hurricanes have the longest, with their 14-year streak from 1995-2008. Alabama has had a first-round pick every year since 2009, so a selection on Thursday night will bring the number to nine years, which ties Florida.
Alabama has the chance to tie or even break another Miami record, too. The Hurricanes currently have the record for the most first-round picks taken in a single draft. In 2004, Miami’s team saw six players taken. The Tide could likely tie that number, but there’s a is a slim chance that they could break it.
Bama set to tie Florida's 9-year streak of 1st-round picks in the NFL draft
