What you should know

Thursday night, Alabama became the second program to have four offensive players selected in the first round. The only other team to accomplish that feat was Notre Dame in 1946.

Quarterback Tua Tagovailoa kicked things off for the Crimson Tide with his selection by Miami with the fifth overall pick. Cleveland entered the picture soon after when the Browns drafted offensive tackle Jedrick Wills 10th overall.

Perhaps the first real shocker of the night occurred when the Raiders selected Henry Ruggs III 12th overall, making him the first receiver off the board. Before Thursday, many viewed Ruggs as the third option at his position behind Alabama teammate Jerry Jeudy and Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb.

Jeudy rounded out the first round for Alabama when the Broncos drafted him 15th overall. These four players helped the SEC finish with a conference-record 15 picks in the first round, passing the previous mark of 12.
