First-Round Powerhouses: Booker and Campbell
Alabama kicked off the draft with two first-round picks. Offensive lineman Tyler Booker went No. 12 overall to the Dallas Cowboys. He’s a dominant guard, known for his leadership at Alabama. Booker started every game in 2024, earning All-SEC honors. He told Cowboys fans, “I’m here to win championships.” Linebacker Jihaad Campbell followed at No. 31 to the Philadelphia Eagles.
Campbell racked up 117 tackles in his junior year, ranking eighth on Alabama’s all-time single-season list. His versatility makes him a perfect fit for Philly’s defense. These picks mark 17 straight years Alabama has had a first-round selection.
Jalen Milroe Lands in Seattle
Quarterback Jalen Milroe waited until the third round to hear his name. The Seattle Seahawks picked him at No. 92 overall. Milroe, a dual-threat quarterback, brings excitement to the NFL. He led Alabama as a starter for two seasons, showing flashes of elite play. Some fans on X praised the pick, saying, “Milroe’s legs will be a game-changer for Seattle!” Others worried about his inconsistency. Either way, he joins a legacy of Alabama quarterbacks drafted early, including Tua Tagovailoa and Bryce Young. Milroe’s potential could reshape Seattle’s offense.
Day Three Steals: Moore, Robinson, and More
The final day of the draft brought more Alabama talent to the pros. Safety Malachi Moore went to the New York Jets at No. 130 in the fourth round. Moore, a fan favorite, started as a true freshman in 2020 and finished with 214 career tackles. His seven interceptions and leadership as a two-time captain make him a valuable addition. Also in the fourth round, edge rusher Que Robinson joined the Denver Broncos at No. 134. Robinson had four sacks in 2024 despite a late-season injury. His experience against top competition at Alabama prepares him for the NFL.
Tight end Robbie Ouzts landed with the Seahawks at No. 175 in the fifth round, reuniting with Milroe. Ouzts, a versatile player, can line up as a tight end or fullback. In the sixth round, defensive lineman Tim Smith was picked by the Indianapolis Colts at No. 190. Smith started every game in 2024, clogging lanes for Alabama’s defense. These late-round picks show Alabama’s depth of talent.
Undrafted Talent Finds a Home
Not all Alabama players were drafted, but some signed as free agents. Tight end CJ Dippre joined the New England Patriots, announcing it on social media. Punter James Burnip signed with the New Orleans Saints. Burnip averaged 45.4 yards per punt in 2024, ranking ninth nationally. Long snapper Kneeland Hibbett inked a deal with the Miami Dolphins. These players will fight for roster spots, proving Alabama’s influence extends beyond the draft.
What This Means for NFL Teams
Alabama’s 2025 draft class brings a mix of star power and depth to the NFL. Booker and Campbell are ready to start, strengthening the Cowboys’ and Eagles’ lines. Milroe’s dynamic style gives the Seahawks a new weapon. Moore and Robinson add toughness to the Jets’ and Broncos’ defenses. Ouzts and Smith offer versatility and grit. Fans on X are excited, with one saying, “Alabama guys always show up in the pros!” Since 2009, Alabama has produced 140 draft picks, more than any other program. This year’s group continues that legacy, shaping NFL rosters for the future.
