NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah released his final top 150 player rankings ahead of this weekend's NFL draft, and five Alabama players made an appearance, headlined by former Alabama offensive tackle Kadyn Proctor, who Jeremiah has ranked as the 24th overall prospect in the draft, giving him a first-round grade.

"Proctor is an enormous tackle prospect. He has excellent feet and agility for a big man. In pass protection, he has an explosive first step and keeps defenders off his chest. He can sink his weight and stall bull rushers. He will occasionally react late off the snap, which has led to some short-corner losses. In the run game, he can uncoil his hips on contact and displace defenders. He excels on down blocks, washing defenders down the line of scrimmage. He was used as a skill player on occasion at Alabama and even caught a quick screen against Georgia -- that speaks to his athleticism. Overall, Proctor will need to manage his weight to stay at tackle, but he has the most upside of any blocker in this draft," Jeremiah wrote.

His next Alabama prospect was former Crimson Tide quarterback Ty Simpson, whom he ranked 36th overall in the draft, giving Simpson a fringe first-round grade.

"Simpson is a slightly undersized quarterback with sound mechanics, touch and accuracy. He primarily operated out of the shotgun at Alabama. He has quick feet in his setup and marries his feet with his eyes to stay on platform as a passer. He has a compact delivery and enough arm strength to make all the throws. He does have some issues when the pocket collapses, as he gets sped up and the ball can take off down the field. He is a good athlete and throws well on designed boots and roll-outs. His play tailed off at the end of the 2025 season while he battled a couple different injuries which limited practice time, according to sources at the school. His limited number of starts (15, all in this past season) is also a concern. Overall, Simpson has the skill set to develop into a functional NFL starter, but it might require some patience," Jeremiah wrote.

He also included three other Alabama players in his top 150. Here is where Alabama's players landed in Jeremiah's full top 150:

Kadyn Proctor, OT (24th overall)
Ty Simpson, QB (36th overall)
Germie Bernard, WR (49th overall)
Justin Jefferson, LB (115th overall)
Parker Brailsford, IOL (147th overall)

The NFL draft starts this Thursday, April 23, at 7:00 p.m.
