Keenan is an extremely athletic lineman given his size. The 6-foot-2, 320 pound big man could potentially emerge as a difference maker throughout his rookie campaign in the NFL, as Keenan is widely regarded as one of the top overall defensive tackles remaining on the board.
Keenan could undoubtedly be one of the first players to hear their name called on day three of the NFL draft, as the talented big man will look to thrive at the professional level following an elite career at Alabama.

Brailsford played an essential role on the Tide’s offensive line during the 2025 campaign. The talented center will serve as an excellent depth option to begin his NFL career, as Brailsford certainly has the potential to work his way up to a starting role.
Brailsford finds himself in prime position to be drafted on Saturday afternoon, as the promising center could very well thrive in the NFL next season and beyond.

Lawson was a focal point on Alabama’s defense across the past few seasons. The talented linebacker recorded 283 tackles and 6.5 sacks across his career with the Crimson Tide, as Lawson could prove to be an everyday player in the NFL next season.
The former Alabama star will more than likely thrive throughout his rookie campaign, as Lawson remains available despite some second and third round expectations prior to draft night.
Both Lawson and Jefferson were widely regarded as two of the top linebackers in the country last season. Jefferson will more than likely emerge as a fourth round selection on Saturday, as the talented player was nothing short of elite throughout his career with the Tide.

Jefferson has the potential to compete for an everyday role during training camp this season, as any team that drafts him will undoubtedly find themselves with a late round steal.
Jackson impressed throughout his time at both USC and Alabama. The talented cornerback is expected to be a late sixth or seventh round selection on Saturday, as Jackson will more than likely find himself competing for a roster spot throughout training camp.

Jackson could quickly prove to shine throughout his rookie campaign next season despite being still available, as the former Alabama star was excellent during his time in Tuscaloosa.

Cuevas played a pivotal role on the Alabama offense when fully healthy last season. The talented tight end recorded 411 yards and four touchdowns in 2025, as Cuevas could prove to be a regular contributor in the NFL next season.
Cuevas is considered to be the top remaining tight end available entering day three, as the former Alabama star will undoubtedly be drafted at some point on Saturday.

Roberts is a massive offensive lineman with elite NFL potential. The former Crimson Tide big man finds himself still available on day three of the NFL draft, as Roberts will more than likely find himself fighting for a roster spot this summer in similar fashion to Jackson.
Roberts could come off the board Saturday, should a team take a chance on him in the draft, as the lineman was excellent on the Crimson Tide offensive line in 2025.

Miller is a talented running back that struggled throughout his final season at Alabama. The former Crimson Tide running back could emerge as a seventh round pick on Saturday, but Miller finds himself facing an uphill battle following an underwhelming season in Tuscaloosa last year.
Miller has elite size and speed and could truly shine when fully healthy, as the talented running back will hope to hear his name called on day three of the NFL draft.
Alabama will more than likely have a plethora of talented drafted through rounds four-seven tomorrow afternoon, as the Tide continue to produce elite NFL talent on a yearly basis.
