The hard deadline for early entry into the 2025 NFL Draft has come and gone for Alabama football. There's still a small window for Ohio State and Notre Dame players after the national championship, but we now know the Crimson Tide players who are eligible for this year's draft.
Alabama will have 11 players hoping to hear their names called in late April, three of which have a chance to be first-round picks. The others will be looking to boost their draft stock at the Senior Bowl or other All Star events and then the NFL Combine and/or Alabama's Pro Day.
The 2025 NFL Draft will be held across three days, April 25-27 in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The first round will be on the 25th with the second and third rounds on the 26th and the remaining four rounds happening on the 27th.
Let's take a look at the draft stock of each of Alabama's NFL Draft hopefuls.
Alabama football's 2025 NFL Draft Stock
QB Jalen Milroe
There's not a player in this year's draft class with a wider range of potential draft positioning than Alabama QB Jalen Milroe. The polarizing Crimson Tide signal-caller has been mocked as high as No. 2 overall to the Cleveland Browns and as low as the second and third rounds.
Milroe will participate in the Senior Bowl in a couple of weeks and a good performance there could help solidify himself as a first-round pick at the end of April. The NFL Combine, Pro Day, and his interviews with teams will be equally important.
There's not a player with a bigger variance on tape in the whole draft class. His good tape is really good, like against Georgia this season. His bad is as bad as it gets, like against Oklahoma.
My guess is that Milroe's athletic ability will land him somewhere in the first round, but the pre-draft process coming up will be key.
Best Case: Top 5
Worst Case: 3rd Round
OG Tyler Booker
When all is said and done, I expect Tyler Booker to be considered the No. 1 interior offensive lineman in this class. He's a road grader in the run game and a good pass protector as well. He has that nasty streak you want out of an offensive guard.
Guards are historically undervalued in the draft so even if Booker is the No. 1 guard, he could still fall to the second round. He could also very easily be selected in the first round. It's hard to see him falling out of the second round with his physical tools and tape.
Best Case: Top 20
Worst Case: 2nd Round
LB Jihaad Campbell
Just like interior linemen, linebackers are typically undervalued in the NFL Draft and Campbell could slip into the second round despite easily being a Top 25 overall talent in this draft class.
Campbell had a monster season for the Crimson Tide and is currently ranked as the No. 2 off-ball LB in the 2025 draft, according to ESPN's Mel Kiper Jr.
I'm not saying Campbell is going to be as good as Micah Parsons, but it's easy to draw that comparison when you watch him on tape. A smart NFL team is going to try and utilize Campbell similarly to how the Cowboys have weaponized Parsons.
Best Case: 1st Round
Worst Case: 2nd Round
DB Malachi Moore
Malachi Moore's versatility will probably be his biggest strength in the draft process. He has the ability to play as a slot cornerback and as a safety. He was a five-year starter for Alabama and a two-time team captain.
Moore has his limitations in that he doesn't have the top end speed you want out of a defensive back. But he's a football player. He was invited to the Senior Bowl but it hasn't been stated whether he will be able to play. Moore missed Alabama's ReliaQuest Bowl loss to Michigan after undergoing surgery.
The Senior Bowl and the combine will be big for Moore as he looks to improve his draft standing. As of now, he's probably a late day-two or early day-three pick.
Best Case: Late 2nd Round
Worse Case: 4th Round
TE CJ Dippre
CJ Dippre was underutilized in Alabama's offense during his two seasons with the Crimson Tide after transferring from Maryland. He caught 21 passes for 256 yards in his final season in Tuscaloosa, but there's not a ton of tape to go on for him as a receiving option.
Dippre was invited to the Senior Bowl and the week in Mobile will be big for him to potentially showcase his ability as a pass-catcher that he didn't get to do much of with Jalen Milroe as Alabama's QB the last two seasons.
Dippre is hard to project right now. It's not an overly deep class at tight end, but he'll be fighting with quite a few guys to get in the late-round discussion and avoid going undrafted.
Best Case: 5th Round
Worse Case: UDFA
LB Que Robinson
Que Robinson suffered a season-ending injury in Alabama's win in Baton Rouge over LSU. He was the Crimson Tide's best pass rusher in 2024 as a senior finishing with four sacks. He dealt with a lot of injuries over his time in Tuscaloosa and his durability will be a question.
He's got some bend and has shown potential as a speed rusher. If he can prove he's healthy and hopefully participate in the East/West Shrine Bowl that he has been invited to, he has a chance to crawl into the late rounds.
Best Case: 6th or 7th Round
Worse Case: UDFA
DT Tim Smith
Like Malachi Moore, Tim Smith played five years at Alabama and was a rotational piece along the Crimson Tide's defensive line every year. He was never overly productive and didn't flash on tape like some of Alabama's former defensive tackle prospects, but he has the potential to be a late-round pick due to his ability as a run-stopper.
He has some pass rush skills too and finished with two sacks to go along with 3.5 tackles for loss in 2024.
Best Case: 6th or 7th Round Pick
Worst Case: UDFA
TE Robbie Ouzts
If you are looking for a blocking tight end, they don't get much better than Alabama's Robbie Ouzts. He scored two touchdowns and had 108 receiving yards in 2024, but his value is as a run blocker, where he frequently opened up holes in the Tide's ground game.
He's a bit undersized for the role he plays and that will make it difficult for him to catch on with an NFL team. Blocking tight ends in the NFL tend to be guys who are roughly the size of offensive tackles.
Best Case: 7th Round
Worse Case: UDFA
P James Burnip
Burnip was a four-year starter at punter for Alabama and showed a lot of improvement after a rough freshman season where he averaged under 40 yards per punt. Burnip averaged over 47 yards per punt as a junior and 45.4 as a senior.
Burnip will punt at the senior bowl and Mel Kiper Jr. has him as the No. 5 specialist and No. 3 punter in the 2025 class at the moment. Getting drafted is probably unlikely, but Burnip will get an opportunity to win a job in Training Camp.
Best Case: 7th Round
Worst Case: UDFA
K Graham Nicholson
Graham Nicholson won the Groza Award at Miami (OH) in 2023 and transferred to Alabama for his senior season. He connected on 27-28 kicks in his junior year with the Redhawks but didn't have many opportunities with the Crimson Tide.
Nicholson only attempted 10 field goals at Alabama, connecting on eight of them. He made all 53 of his extra point attempts. Nicholson is not among the Top 10 specialists currently ranked by Kiper but could move up in the pre-draft process.
Best Case: UDFA
Worse Case: UDFA
LS Kneeland Hibbett
Hibbett was Alabama's long snapper the last four years and earned a scholarship prior to the 2024 season. There were rarely any hiccups during his time, but long snappers rarely get selected.
Best Case: UDFA
Worst Case: UDFA
