ESPN's Jordan Reid predicts three Alabama players will be first-round picks in the 2027 NFL Draft: Zabien Brown at pick No. 17, Yhonzae Pierre at No. 30, and Ryan Coleman-Williams at No. 31.
In his latest mock, ESPN's Jordan Reid has recently predicted three Alabama football players to be first round picks in the 2027 NFL draft.
Reid predicts those players to be Zabien Brown, Yhonzae Pierre, and Ryan Coleman-Williams, each of which he has coming off the board in the back-half of the first round during his early 2027 mock. Brown is the first of those three at pick No. 17 to the New York Jets, as well as the third overall cornerback behind only Notre Dame's Leonard Moore and Georgia's Ellis Robinson IV.
Pierre and Coleman-Williams are both currently predicted by Reid in the late first round. An edge rusher, Pierre is mocked at pick No. 30 overall to the Seattle Seahawks, while Coleman-Williams is only a pick later at No. 31 to the Buffalo Bills.
Of the three, both of Brown and Coleman-Williams will be entering their junior seasons at Alabama, and have both started each of the last two years. Pierre had a breakout 2025 campaign with the Crimson Tide, and bypassed the 2026 NFL draft in order to return to Alabama next season.
All three are among Alabama's top 2027 NFL draft-eligible prospects to watch entering the 2026 season.
