NFL Draft 2020: Updated Order and 1st-Round Mock Draft Predictions
The Alabama Crimson Tide may not have been the most dominant college football team during the 2019 season, but they could have the largest presence of any program in the first round of the 2020 NFL draft.
Offensive tackle Jedrick Wills Jr. became the latest player to declare for the draft Saturday. He joins wide receiver Jerry Jeudy and safety Xavier McKinney as recent Crimson Tide stars to announce their intentions.
Since 2015, 13 Alabama players have been taken in the first round, with seven of them occurring in the previous two drafts.

Positions 25-32 will be determined by the remaining NFL playoff games.
Jedrick Wills Jr., OT, Alabama
Wills finished his collegiate career by earning first-team All-SEC honors.
Due to the need for offensive linemen by teams in the top half of the first round, Wills could be one of the first linemen off the board.
Wills is ranked No. 8 on the latest big board from Bleacher Report's Matt Miller, which is six spots ahead of Georgia's Andrew Thomas and nine above Iowa's Tristan Wirfs.
Once the predraft process heats up, we will get a better idea of which offensive tackle is preferred by teams in the top 10.
Draft Network's Jordan Reid provided a glance into what Wills excels at:
Pro Football Focus College Football noted Wills' success in the run game, as he earned a 91.6 run-blocking grade:
One of the logical destinations for an offensive lineman is Jacksonville. With Nick Foles and Gardner Minshew II under center, the Jaguars conceded 42 sacks and ranked 16th in passing yards.
Since they have two first-round picks, the Jaguars should fill holes on both sides of the ball, and the O-line may turn into a more pressing need due to the availability of the top players at that position.
A handful of defensive backs could still be on the board at No. 20, including McKinney.
The New York Jets could also be in the market for protection for Sam Darnold, as they allowed the fourth-most sacks in the NFL with 52.
Reinforcing the positions in front of Darnold and Le'Veon Bell may allow the Jets to improve on their 7-9 record.
Xavier McKinney, S, Alabama
Jacksonville may be an ideal landing spot for McKinney, as the AFC South side looks to find the next Jalen Ramsey to patrol its secondary.
According to AL.com's Matt Zenitz, McKinney received a first-round grade from the NFL draft advisory committee and could be the first player at his position off the board.
The Jaguars have a history of taking Alabama safeties since they selected Ronnie Harrison in the third round of the 2018 draft. Harrison totaled nine passes defended and a pair of interceptions last season.
Adding another young safety would secure that part of the field and allow the franchise to focus on bolstering other positions later.
In his junior season, McKinney racked up 95 tackles, four forced fumbles, three sacks and three interceptions. His most productive game came against the LSU Tigers, when he recorded 13 tackles and a pair of sacks.
McKinney could be a part of a run on defensive backs in the mid-to-late first round that could feature Florida's CJ Henderson and LSU's Kristian Fulton among others.
