Pro Football Focus analyst, Dalton Wasserman released a way-too-early 2026 mock NFL Draft, and he has Alabama offensive lineman, Kadyn Proctor, going No.1 overall.

Proctor is a former five-star offensive lineman, who has started pretty much very game since stepping onto the campus of the University of Alabama. He earned second-team All-SEC honors from the league’s coaches after the 2024 season. The Iowa native recorded 639 snaps of action with 54 total knockdowns while starting at left tackle as a sophomore.

This is a really early  prediction, but it those shine a light on Proctor’s potential to be an early pick in the 2026 draft if he has a great junior season and decides to declare for the NFL Draft.

Wasserman has the Crimson Tide’s linebacker, Deontae Lawson, going No. 22 overall, and LT Overton going No. 26 overall.
