Four Alabama angles to watch Kareem Jackson Limited Jersey on Day 2 Brooks Reed Limited Jersey of the NFL Draft

That's especially true when it pertains to Alabama's involvement. Starting with Cyrus Kouandjio, who is still in New York City, the Crimson Tide has a number of players who could hear their names called during today's second and third rounds. central on ESPN and NFL Network.Here are the four Alabama focused angles to monitor.1. How long will Cyrus Kouandjio's wait last? Courtney Upshaw didn't have to spend much time in the Green Room on his second day in New York City. Eddie Lacy had to sit through 28 picks on Day 2 before the Packers selected him last year. The cameras will be honed on Kouandjio and the seven other holdovers from last night's first round. The hope for the former Alabama offensive tackle is that teams at the top of the second round with needs at tackle pick him over the likes of Virginia's Morgan Moses, Nevada's Joel Bitonio or Ohio State's Jack Mewhort. Keep an eye on Washington at No. 34 and Tampa Bay at No. 38.2. With only three quarterbacks selected in the first round, could AJ McCarron slide to Day 3? Minnesota, which was one of the teams reportedly very interested in McCarron, traded up to select Teddy Bridgewater with the final pick in the first round. Most anticipated Derek Carr to be off the board by the end of the first round. Buzz is building that Houston, rather than drafting a quarterback, will fill their need with a trade for New England's Ryan Mallett. Kareem Jackson Elite Jersey At this point in the draft, when quarterbacks selected aren't necessarily expected to start right away, it's all about fit and the vibe teams got with them throughout the pre draft process. McCarron's considered one of the best quarterbacks available heading into the second round, but, as we witnessed Thursday, those rankings provide little insight into how teams are actually ranking them on their draft boards. Perhaps a Mallett trade opens the door for McCarron to back up Tom Brady, the player he most often referenced when discussing NFL quarterbacks.3. Will Kevin Norwood's ascent up draft boards end in a Day 2 selection? No Alabama player handled the pre draft process better than Norwood, who went from a projected seventh round selection to a potential Day 2 pick. The problem for Norwood is he picked a bad year to have such a meteoric rise. Perhaps no position in this year's draft is deeper than wide receiver, and only five went in the first round. Two of the best receivers in college football over the past two seasons, USC's Marqise Lee and Vanderbilt's Jordan Matthews, are still available. It's hard to find a player Alabama fans are rooting for more than Mr. Clutch.4. Will any other Alabama players sneak into Day 2? The projections say no, but there are a handful of http://www.texansonlineprostore.com/WOMENS-DJ-SWEARINGER-JERSEY.html possibilities. Linebacker Adrian Hubbard and defensive ends Ed Stinson and Jeoffrey Pagan are the most likely. Hubbard's height and athleticism is certainly intriguing while Stinson and Pagan are versatile enough to play end in a 3 4 defense or tackle in a 4 3. During the Nick Saban era, Alabama's had five players selected in the first three rounds on three occasions. It'll have a very good chance of breaking that mark tonight, especially if one of these players goes just a little higher than anticipated.
