Alabama Crimson Tide players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: Round 1

JC Latham, Tennessee Titans

JC Latham became the first Alabama Crimson Tide player to hear his name called in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Tennessee Titans selected the offensive tackle with the seventh overall pick in the draft. Tennessee allowed 64 sacks last season, tying for the fourth-most allowed in the league. They will look for Latham - a first-team All-SEC selection last season - to shore up the line and protect Will Levis.

Dallas Turner, Minnesota Vikings

Dallas Turner was the second member of the Alabama Crimson Tide - and just the third defensive player - off the board in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Minnesota Vikings traded up six spots to select the defensive end with the 17th overall pick. Minnesota tied for the 13th-fewest sacks last season and did not return their only two players - Danielle Hunter with 16.5 and D.J. Wonnum with 8.0 - to finish with more than 3.0 sacks.

Terrion Arnold, Detroit Lions

Terrion Arnold was the third Alabama Crimson Tide player drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. The Detroit Lions moved up five spots to pick the cornerback with the 24th overall pick.

While Detroit finished 12-5 last season, they struggled against the pass, allowing the sixth-most passing yards and passing touchdowns in the league.

Kool-Aid McKinstry, New Orleans Saints

Cornerback Kool-Aid McKinstry will be patrolling the secondary for the New Orleans Saints next season. The Saints drafted him with the 41st overall pick after trading for the draft choice.

New Orleans has some cap issues and missed the postseason last year after losing the tiebreaker for the division with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with their 9-8 record.

Chris Baswell, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Chris Baswell is going to be coming off the edge for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being selected with the 57th pick. Alabama's defense is being drafted early as this is the fourth member of the defense to get selected in the first two rounds.

Tampa Bay won the NFC South with a 9-8 record and made the NFC Divisional Round a year ago. The defense finished last season 10th with 48.0 total sacks and get another player to attack the quarterback.

Jermaine Burton, Cincinnati Bengals

Wide receiver Jermaine Burton was selected with the 80th pick by the Cincinnati Bengals. This move makes a lot of sense with the question marks surrounding the future of Tee Higgins. This gives Joe Burrow another weapon to throw the football to and he can be a good receiver right away in the NFL.

Justin Eboigbe, Los Angeles Chargers

The first Day 3 pick from the Crimson Tide was defensive tackle Justin Eboigbe with the 105th overall pick. He finished last season with seven sacks and a pass deflection. The Los Angeles Chargers ranked seventh in sacks last season with 48.0 and should be able to easily slide into the defensive line and immediately create some pressure.

Alabama Crimson Tide players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: Round 5

There were no Alabama players who were drafted in the fifth round of the draft.

Alabama Crimson Tide players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: Round 6

Jase McClellan, Atlanta Falcons

The Atlanta Falcons drafted running back Jase McClellan with the 10th pick in the sixth round (186th overall). He will be joining the likes of Bijan Robinson and Tyler Allgeier in the running back room. Last season, McClellan finished with 890 rushing yards on 180 yards (4.9 yards per carry) with eight rushing touchdowns. Adding him will replace the running capabilities that losing Cordarelle Patterson has caused.

Will Reichard, Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings took kicker Will Reichard with the 203rd pick in the draft (27th in the sixth round). He holds the NCAA record with points scored and significantly improved from kicking 50+ yard field goals last season. Reichard finished 22-of-25 kicking field goals with his three misses coming from 40-49 yards. However, he nailed all five 50+ yard attempts and all 55 extra-point tries.

Alabama Crimson Tide players selected in the 2024 NFL Draft: Round 7

Jaylen Key, New York Jets

The 257th and final pick in the 2024 NFL draft saw the New York Jets select Alabama safety Jaylen Key. In his only season for the Crimson Tide, Key finished with 60 total tackles, a pass deflection and an interception. Mr. Irrelevant seems to be joining an outstanding defense and should be in the competition to start at the safety position.
