Where will Alabama football top prospects go in 2025 NFL draft? Best-case scenarios

Alabama has three players (Jihaad Campbell, Tyler Booker, and Jalen Milroe) hoping to be first-round picks in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Campbell and Booker are projected as the top players at their respective positions (linebacker and guard).
Milroe is projected as a potential fourth quarterback off the board, likely in the later part of the first round or early second round.
Alabama football may not have the superstars at the top of the 2025 NFL draft class. But the Crimson Tide has a significant chance of continuing its track record of first-round picks.

Alabama has had multiple first-round draft picks in eight straight NFL drafts, starting with cornerback Marlon Humphrey (No. 16 Baltimore Ravens), defensive end Jonathan Allen (No. 17 Washington Redskins), tight end O.J. Howard (No. 19 Tampa Bay Buccaneers) and linebacker Reuben Foster (No. 31 San Francisco 49ers) in 2017.

Heading into 2025, linebacker Jihaad Campbell, offensive lineman Tyler Booker and quarterback Jalen Milroe are each planning on attending the draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin, hoping to walk across the stage Thursday night as the next Crimson Tide first-round draft pick.

What is the best-case scenario for Alabama in the 2025 NFL draft? Here’s a look for the Crimson Tide’s top five draft prospects.

Jihaad Campbell NFL draft projection: Best-case scenario
Campbell already enters in the 2025 NFL draft living his best-case scenario.

According to ESPN, Campbell is the top linebacker on the 2025 draft board ahead of players like UCLA’s Carson Schwesinger, South Carolina’s Demetrius Knight Jr. and Clemson’s Barrett Carter. After earning first-team All-SEC honors and second-team All-American honors as a junior in 2024, Campbell is on a path to being the Crimson Tide’s first first-round linebacker selection since Rashaan Evans was selected No. 22 overall in 2018.

The true best-case scenario comes as a matter of where in the first round Campbell is selected, especially if it’s in the first half of Thursday.
