The 2025 NFL Draft is less than a week away, and Alabama football linebacker Jihaad Campbell could potentially go in the first round, according to recent expert mock drafts. Campbell will be in attendance in Green Bay for the event.
The draft is scheduled to begin on Thursday, with the second and third rounds Friday, and rest on Saturday. Before the event, here’s where Campbell is showing up in mock drafts.
ESPN– No. 32 overall, Philadelphia Eagles
Mel Kiper Jr. has Campbell as the first Crimson Tide player off the board in the draft, ahead of Tyler Booker. He sent the linebacker to the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles, who have done well with SEC talent, including plenty of Alabama players, in recent seasons.
ESPN– No. 19 overall, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jordan Reid has Campbell even higher in the first round than his ESPN colleague. He sent Campbell to a building he’s familiar with, as Alabama played at Raymond James Stadium in both 2023 and 2024.
Pro Football Focus– No. 14 overall, Indianapolis Colts
One of the highest mock draft projections for Campbell. PFF notes that the linebacker class is fairly thin, and Indianapolis has a need at the spot, which could lead the Colts to take Campbell at the 14th pick.
CBS– No. 17 overall, Cincinnati Bengals
Josh Edwards sends Campbell to the AFC North midway through the first round. It’s a spot where NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah said earlier this week that he thinks Campbell would be a solid fit.
NFL.com– No. 16 overall, Atlanta Falcons
Chad Reuter keeps Campbell in the south, projecting he could be taken by the Falcons. He noted Campbell’s versatility as a natural fit for a defense that will try and be more multiple during the 2025 season.
NFL.com– No. 19, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Eric Edholm, NFL.com’s lead draft writer, has Campbell off the board at a popular spot. He sends the linebacker to Tampa Bay, just one spot after he projected Booker will be selected by the Seattle Seahawks.
