Thursday through Saturday will be another Alabama football NFL Draft bonanza. The No. 1 pick in the 2019 NFL Draft should be and could be Quinnen Williams. There could be as many as 11 former Alabama football players drafted. Up to four of them could be chosen in the first round.
Sometimes, fans forget NFL teams make Draft decisions based on need more than choosing the best available player. The Arizona Cardinals, for example, may believe the most important need is a new quarterback. If so, Kyler Murray becomes the No. 1 pick. That decision would mean the Cardinals would pass on Quinnen Williams who most Draft experts rate as the top-graded player in this year’s Draft.
