00:00 This is Bama Central's Just a Minute and I'm Joe Gaither.
00:03 Thanks so much for joining us on Wednesday, January 31st.
00:06 It's the last day of the month, but the middle of the week, and this week is Senior Bowl week.
00:11 Down there in Mobile, Alabama, you know the hashtag, #TheDraftStartsInMobile.
00:16 And this year, Alabama has three players representing the Crimson Tide.
00:21 Will Reichert, Justin O'Boygbee, and Chris Braswell make up the three players,
00:25 a little smaller contingent than in years past,
00:28 but three guys who stand to make themselves a lot of money with great performances this week in Mobile.
00:33 The measurements are not necessarily as important for Will Reichert,
00:38 but yesterday in Mobile, in practice, he was seen bombing 60-yard field goals.
00:43 Last year in the NFL Draft, there were three kickers selected over the seven rounds.
00:47 Will Reichert is looking to make himself one of the few kickers selected in this year's draft.
00:53 His make percentage throughout his college career is otherworldly and absolutely
00:58 garners lots of attention and respect from the football world.
01:02 However, this week in Mobile will be a great chance for him to show
01:06 grit, his leg strength, as that's been the biggest question mark of his game.
01:10 60-yard field goals yesterday makes for a great start for Will Reichert.
01:14 We'll see if he can show off strong leg strength for deep field goals and kickoff
01:21 opportunities in order to garner himself NFL attention.
01:24 Along the defensive line, Alabama has two representatives,
01:28 Chris Braswell and Justin Oboigbe.
01:31 Justin Oboigbe measured in at 6'4", 292 pounds, and I think is one of the more underrated defenders
01:37 on this year's Alabama Crimson Tide football team.
01:40 Justin Oboigbe has shown great ability to play both the run and the pass this past season.
01:46 While NFL talent evaluators have him rated in a fourth or fifth round draft pick selection,
01:53 I think Justin Oboigbe can impress NFL scouts both on the chalkboard, on the whiteboard,
02:00 and on the practice field this week in Mobile and work himself into a third round draft pick.
02:06 Chris Braswell is the highest rated prospect for Alabama down in Mobile.
02:11 He's rated anywhere between 38 and 42, depending on where you're looking for your draft coverage.
02:18 That'll put Chris Braswell near the top end of the second round.
02:22 He measured in at 6'3", 257 pounds, and while he's not the high-profile edge rusher that Dallas
02:29 Turner is, he's still a quality player.
02:32 Can a strong week in Mobile put Chris Braswell into the first round?
02:37 Who will be Alabama's first round draft picks?
02:39 Obviously, Kool Aid McKinstry, Dallas Turner, Terry and Arnold, J.C. Latham are four guys who
02:46 stand to go in the first round for Alabama.
02:49 Could a strong week for Chris Braswell make five first round draft picks?
