The 2025 NFL Draft concluded on Saturday night, and seven Alabama players were selected, including a pair of first-rounders, to continue multiple impressive Crimson Tide streaks.

Tyler Booker and Jihaad Campbell came off the board on Thursday night, extending Alabama’s NCAA record streak of consecutive drafts with a first-round pick to 17. On Day 2, Jalen Milroe was the fourth quarterback taken as the Seattle Seahawks swooped in to select the Tide starter. Malachi Moore and Que Robinson were drafted in Round, Robbie Ouzts joined Milroe in Seattle in Round 5 and Tim Smith rounded out the draft with a sixth-round pick.

The 2025 draft marked the 14th draft in a row where Alabama has had seven or more players chosen by NFL teams. Booker coming off the board first to the Dallas Cowboys gave the Tide a first-round offensive lineman in six of the last seven drafts. Including Moore, Alabama has now had at least one former defensive back taken in each of the last 14 NFL drafts.

In addition to the seven draft picks, three Alabama alums received opportunities as undrafted free agents – James Burnip (Saints), Kneeland Hibbett (Dolphins) and CJ Dippre (Patriots).

BamaOnLine staff members Charlie Potter, Tim Watts and Andrew Bone join forces to recap another strong draft for Alabama, its first after a season coached by Kalen DeBoer. The fellas share their favorite moments, biggest surprises and much more, including some comments from former Tide head coach Nick Saban, who was again part of the ABC broadcast.
