Four Tide Players Drafted in Way Too Early 2026 Mock Draft
As anticipation builds for the 2026 NFL Draft, Todd McShay of The Ringer has spotlighted four Alabama players likely to make an impact, continuing the program’s trend of producing first-round talent. In his early mock draft, McShay predicts Germie Bernard will be selected 12th by the Seattle Seahawks. The senior receiver, coming off a strong junior season with 50 receptions for 794 yards, is poised for a breakout year.
Next on the list is Deontae Lawson, projected to go 15th to the Arizona Cardinals. After a season-ending injury in a game against Oklahoma, Lawson returns for another shot at showcasing his skills; he recorded 76 tackles, four pass breakups, and other key statistics during his last healthy season.
Domani Jackson, ranked 16th and heading to the Pittsburgh Steelers, made a name for himself as a lockdown cornerback at Alabama, tallying 51 tackles and two interceptions. With added experience, he aims to solidify his reputation at the next level.
Finally, Kadyn Proctor, Alabama’s junior left tackle, is favored to be picked 23rd by the San Francisco 49ers. Known for his agility, Proctor’s performance in critical games will be vital for his draft stock.
In total, McShay’s mock draft features 13 players from the SEC, reflecting the conference’s dominance in shaping future NFL stars. For continued updates and in-depth coverage of Alabama athletics, follow Wyatt Fulton on social media.
