Alabama will be well represented in the NFL this weekend, including the guy playing QB against the Bucs. Hard to believe that Tua, Mac and Hurts were all on the same team. Those drafted from 2019-21 were pretty much all on that 2018 team. From 2018-21 there have been 17 1sts, 6 2nds, and 17 in Rd 3-7. The NFL highly values Alabama players. There is a lot of talent here making a difference in the NFL, but only 4 Pro Bowl years represented.
My question is, are teams getting their value for the "price" they pay for Alabama players on draft day, or are they overpaying?
Here are the Round 1-3 Alabama draft picks from 2018-21:
