Alabama and LSU were part of a first round in which the SEC had 11 first-round picks.
This will be Alabama’s final draft class under legendary coach Nick Saban, and the Crimson Tide made it a memorable night by adding to Saban’s record-breaking resume. Tennessee took JC Latham at No. 7, Minnesota traded up for edge rusher Dallas Turner at No. 17, and Detroit took Terrion Arnold at No. 17.
LSU’s first-round haul was led by Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels at No. 2. Receiver Malik Nabers was selected at No. 6, and Jacksonville took receiver Brian Thomas at No. 23.
