A couple of weeks ago, I gave all my predictions for Alabama’s offensive players in the 2020 draft. I had intended to follow it up with this piece the very next week, but real life gets in the way sometimes (namely arguing with a certain termite company, but that’s neither here nor there).
In any case, the Tide’s defense is not as star-laden as the offense, so there is a lot more uncertainty in a number of draft eligible players and a lot riding on how they perform this upcoming season.
While guys like Tua Tagovailoa and Jerry Jeudy could have a significant slump (flagged) and still get drafted in the first round based on their proven body of work thus far, most of these defensive guys absolutely have to make waves in 2019 to be considered elite prospects.
