Things did not always look good for the Crimson Tide draft hopefuls, as no UA alumni were called during the first 15 picks. The Baltimore Ravens got things going at No. 16 for the six top-50 picks:

• Marlon Humphrey (No. 16, Baltimore Ravens)
• Jonathan Allen (No. 17, Washington Redskins)
• O.J. Howard (No. 19, Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
• Reuben Foster (No. 31, San Francisco 49ers)
• Cam Robinson (No. 34, Jacksonville Jaguars)
• Ryan Anderson (No. 49, Washington Redskins)

The draft is currently in the second round. Dalvin Tomlinson made it seven in the top 55, as the New York Giants picked him at No. 55.
