Alabama may enjoy one of its best drafts of the Nick Saban era in 2023 an astounding achievement, considering the number of NFL players he has produced during his tenure in Tuscaloosa.It starts with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Bryce Young. If the Panthers take him with the first selection, he would become the Crimson Tide's first No. 1 overall pick since Washington took Harry Gilmer in the 1948 NFL Draft. (Joe Namath was selected first overall by the Jets in the 1965 AFL Draft.)Alabama fans won't wait long to hear the next Crimson Tide player called, either: EDGE defender Will Anderson Jr., a two-time unanimous All-America selection, is generally mocked to go no lower than No. 5 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. That could change if the Cardinals, at No. 3, elect to trade back with a quarterback-needy team, but it's unlikely Anderson falls out of the top five even in that scenario.MORE: Young and Anderson are the headliners of the Crimson Tide's 2023 draft cla s, but could also produce two more first-round picks in safety/nickel corner Brian Branch and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. That's nothing to say of the players who will go in Days 2 and 3 of the draft, including Jordan Battle, Eli Ricks, Henry To'o To'o and more.With that, here's where each of Alabama's players are projected to be taken in the 2023 NFL Draft:In all, 13 Alabama players are projected to be taken in the 2023 NFL Draft: the most of any college team, including (11), Michigan (10) and Ohio State (eight).Here's where each Crimson Tide player is in this year's draft, as well as their respective ): Getty Images Bryce Young, QBDraft projection: Panthers, No. 1 overall, Noah Vonleh Jersey first roundBig board ranking: No. 1 overall (No. 1 QB)Young is considered to have the highest floor of any quarterback in the 2023 NFL Draft, including his best competition to be taken No. 1 overall, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud. His experience in a pro-style scheme that attacks all over the field should make for an easier transition to the NFL, as well as his proce sing speed, pocket maneuverability, accuracy and ability to make off-script plays.Young has the weakest arm of the top-end QBs in this cla s, and his slight frame is cause for concern among GMs, scouts and coaches who worry about how he will handle taking hits from NFL defenders. But the tape speaks for itself, and Young's play won't be the reason if he falls to No. 2 to Houston.MORE: Getty Images Will Anderson Jr., EDGEDraft projection: Cardinals, No. 3 overall, first roundBig board ranking: No. 2 overall (No. 1 EDGE)Anderson's 2022 campaign didn't come close to his outlandish 2021 season, when he had 34.5 tackles for lo s and 17.5 sacks. And yet he still finished last year with 17 tackles for lo s, 10 sacks and an interception, part of a career that saw him total 62 tackles for lo s, 34.5 sacks and 29 quarterback hits.Alabama's EDGE defender has been the premier college pa s-rusher over the last three seasons, making him a top-flight prospect at a premium position in the NFL. He doesn't have the ideal frame for a typical NFL defender at 6-3, 253 pounds, but that didn't stop him from terrorizing opposing backfields for the better part of three seasons.MORE: (Getty Images) Brian Branch, SDraft projection:Jets, No. 13 overall, first roundBig board ranking: No. 12 overall (No. 1 S)Branch's 4.58 40 time in the NFL combine has raised questions as to how high his ceiling is, but his football intelligence and versatility in the secondary make him an enticing option for several teams high in the draft that need an upgrade in their defensive backfield.Projected by TSN as the No. 2 overall defensive back taken in this year's draft, Branch projects as a free safety in the NFL who can also move to slot corner (he played the majority of his snaps as a nickel back in Saban's secondary last season). His sound fundamentals and fluidity at his size (6-0, 190 pounds) will make him a valuable acquisition.MORE: Jahmyr Gibbs, RBDraft projection: Eagles, No. 30 overall, first roundBig board ranking: No. 18 overall (No. 2 RB)Gibbs is considered the No. 2 running back of the NFL draft, behind only Texas' Bijan Robinson. He is among the fastest backs in this year's draft, running a blazing 4.36 in the 40 at the NFL Combine. His compact frame, breakaway speed and notable pa s-catching ability have made him a fringe first-round selection, though that's more an indication of running backs' devaluation in the NFL than Gibbs' own skill.MORE: Day 2-3 picksBelow is a rundown of where Iyer projects Alabama's nine remaining prospects to land in the 2023 draft, their big board rankings and his scouting reports for each:Jordan Battle, SDraft projection: Giants, No. 57 overall (second round)Big board ranking: No. 58 overall (No. 4 2)Battle is a well-rounded cover safety with the speed and quickne s needed to stay with inside receivers. He used his return to school to become a more reliable run supporter and better tackler.Eli Ricks, CBDraft projection: Cardinals, No. 66 overall (third round)Big board ranking: No. 67 (No. 10 CB)Ricks has incredible size and length that allows him to stay with the biggest wide receivers in coverage. He can also outrun smaller wideouts and shows an extra gear in closing to make plays on the ball.Henry To'o To'o, LBDraft projection: Steelers, No. 80 to overall (third round)Big board ranking: No. 83 (No. 4 LB)To'o To'o is the typical athletic and rangy 3-4 linebacker for Nick Saban. He covers a lot of ground and is technically sound. He is relentle s in his pursuit against the run and finishes with pop as a tackler.Byron Young, DTDraft projection: Browns, No. 98 overall (third round)Big board ranking: No. 91 (No. 14 DT)Young is getting more attention as a straight-up strong and powerful run defender.Emil Ekiyor Jr., GDraft projection: Panthers, No. 114 overall (fourth round)Big board ranking: No. 116 (No. 6 G)Ekiyor is a physical, relentle s and experienced blocker who needs work with his hands and footwork to start in the NFL.MORE: Cameron Latu, TEDraft projection: Jaguars, No. 127 overall (fourth round)Big board ranking: No. 122 (No. 7 TE)Latu is a smart versatile blocking tight end who has a chunk of untapped upside as a receiver.Tyler Steen, OTDraft projection: Raiders, No. 141 overall (fifth round)Big board ranking: No. 131 (No. OT)Steen is a very athletic pa s protector with a nice frame for it who needs to get more of a feel for more effective run blocking.D.J. Dale, DTDraft projection: Ravens, No. 157 overall (fifth round)Big board ranking: (No. 20 DT)DeMarcco Hellams, SDraft projection: 49ers, No. 253 overall (seventh round)Big board ranking: N/A Derrick Rose Jersey
