Topic: Does Ali get drafted

[BigJimslade]

Yes or No ?

[MicDrass1]

Yes - late

[andy31]

I also say yes in late rounds.  Someone will value his skillset despite the injury risk and take a late round flier.

[herd1990]

5th round.  NY Giants.

[overherd1]

Agree - late round

[Herdiowa]

If he was not injured definitely a mid round pick.  Now that he?s injured possible late rounder.
Whoever takes him gets a steal. I hope it?s the Broncos.

[herd2win]

He is a talent that without injuries would have been gone by round 3.  I believe he will likely go in round 5 or 6.  If not he will sign FA contract.

[svherd]

No. But he'll sign a free agent deal soon after the draft. He'll have a choice of teams to sign with. jmo

[Johns1124]

Undrafted FA.

A guaranteed invite to training camp.

[herdhall]

I'm going to say Yes, but I thought that last year for Khalan Laborn and that didnt' happen.

Who do you think is the better back between the two?

A healthy Ali is a better all round back.

[HERDLUVR]

7th round - Browns

[BigJimslade]

Undrafted FA.

I tend to agree

[muherd34]

I don?t think he gets drafted.  Due to his inability to stay healthy, which is a shame because he is a great rb.  But he will get his shot and if he stays healthy will be a steal for whoever gets him.

[Green Dog]

Not drafted. FA signing but have my doubts if he makes and/or sticks with a team.

Possibly the strangest career at MU I can remember.

[MUther]

The NFL knows he had 40 carries per game, here.  Run into the ground because we had no other source of offense.  He tore his bicep.  That's a freak injury for a job where you expect knees and back to be the issue.  I think if someone takes a chance on him it will be because they understand we over-utilized him and while he's a workhorse, they won't need to do that.

His acceleration and top speed are worth a paycheck all by themselves.  It's a kid that reaches second level and goes to the house, every singe time. 

[MicDrass1]

Ends up in NFC East

[HerdEcon]

Laborn

Laborn was the better back.  Ali was injury plagued and the bowl game told me alot about him. 

Laborn carried the 2022 team on his back with one of the worse OL in recent memory.  His performance in the ND game was epic.

Ali will be an undrafted FA.

I doubt the NFL knows he had 40 carries per game cause that?s not true

[FilmJunky]

To the XFL.

Look up the word hyperbole.  Then go to an urban dictionary site and look up gfy.

[GreenBison]

Will he be sitting out the second half of the NFL Draft? LOL

[Rockin Herd Fan]

Yes, 3rd day selection.  Ali has skills that translate well into the NFL.  He has good speed, vision and he can catch the ball out of the backfield.  Let's remember that most players that are drafted will become role players.  I could see Ali getting drafted for his kickoff return skills and a team could see him eventually transition into a 3rd down back role. 

[MicDrass1]

If he hadn?t had the biceps injury at Sr bowl he?s drafted mid rounds.  He goes late bc he is now considered a value draft pick.  A true steal pick.

Your harsh words are hurtful but that being said ..
Name the games in which he had 40 carries as you claim
Waiting .. 🤔
