Jumbo Package: Saban ties record for most career first round draft picks

Happy Friday, everyone. It’s a big weekend on the diamond, as both the baseball and softball teams are at home, the men against #14 LSU while the #3 Tide women host #23 Kentucky. Of course, the big news of the day involves the NFL Draft.

Alabama had another three first-rounders Thursday night, which was one less than the Crimson Tide had in 2017 and one less than they had in 2018. But it set another record for Nick Saban.

The Alabama head coach now has 34 first-round picks in his career, according to ESPN.
