🏈 NFL Draft

All had players drafted before a barner was drafted.

Yeah, and the first barner drafted is a Steeler. Mike Tomlin really hates me... The feeling is just about mutual.

Actually, Coates could be a good pick. If he balls out like he did v. Bama, he's a good pick. If he plays with stone hands like he did in so many other games... Oyy...

Nudie and Arie K taken in the 4th round. Glad for the latter he's playing close to home. Shep went in the 7th round.
 
Another interesting factoid. I know I've mentioned the offensive line at TAMU that Sherman recruited a few years ago, they'll never see anything remotely like this in the future with Sumlin.

Sherman signed 6 offensive lineman in 2010, 4 of 6 drafted in the NFL, 3 1st rounders and a 5th rounder.
  • 2013 Joeckle, 1st round
  • 2014 Matthews, 1st round
  • 2015 Ogbuehi, 1st round & Harrison, 5th round.

For reference, Alabama's 2009 recruiting class signed 7 offensive lineman, 4 of which are playing in the NFL, 3 were drafted 1st round (Steen as an UFA).
  • 2011 Carpenter, 1st round
  • 2013 Warmack & Fluker, 1st round
It's going to be interesting to see how our 2014 Offensive line class of Casher, Hassenauer, Jackson, McBride, Pierschbacher, & Robinson stacks up against Alabama's 2009 and TAMU's 2010 class.

NFL Draft Wrap Up

Aaron Suttles
TideSports.com Senior Writer

A total of seven University of Alabama football players were selected in the 2015 NFL Draft. Here is a run down of where each player landed and what the experts are saying.

Amari Cooper: 1st round, 4th pick, Oakland Raiders

What they're saying: "We liked him as soon as we saw him on tape. When Cooper was there (at No. 4), we were excited. When he was there, it wasn't a whole lot of debating." Oakland Raiders General Manager Reggie McKenzie

Landon Collins: 2nd round, 33 pick, New York Giants

What they're saying: ""He's a versatile safety. They asked him to do a lot at Alabama. We always like guys who have a lot of versatility like that. He's played a very high level of competition. He can play on the back end, he can play in the box. "He'll come right in and compete for a job at that position." New York Giants General Manager Jerry Reese

T.J. Yeldon: 2nd round, 36th pick, Jacksonville Jaguars

What they're saying: "If he was there (in the second round) we knew it'd be a really good thing for us. To me what shows up is he's got great vision, really really good instincts, great anticipation. Tremendous instincts, and they showed up repeatedly." Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley

Jalston Fowler: 4th round, 108th pick, Tennessee Titans

What they're saying: ""Jalston's a general manager's dream because he saves you a roster spot. He can play fullback, running back, H-back, wing-back, tight end. You can detach him as a receiver. He's got capable hands out there." Senior Bowl Executive Director Phil Savage

Arie Kouandjio: 4th round, 112th pick, Washington Redskins

What they're saying: ""A big, physical offensive guard. You talk about offensive line depth, you can never have too many big guys who can move the pile, powerful people." Washington Redskins coach Jay Gruden

Austin Shepherd: 7th round, 228th pick, Minnesota Vikings

What they're saying: "Projects inside at guard. Had a good Senior Bowl. Very tough. Very physical. In-line mauler," Minnesota Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman

Xzavier Dickson: 7th round, 253rd pick, New England Patriots

What they're saying: "A three-year starter at Alabama, real good program. He's played a lot of outsider linebacker [and] defensive end, and in the kicking game. Obviously been in a good program, been well coached. He's played against a lot of good people and he's done well at Alabama." New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick

Free agent signings

Trey DePriest, Baltimore Ravens
DeAndrew White, San Francisco 49ers
