I wouldn't be surprised if we target a DT on Day 2.  I know that sounds disappointing with Q and JFM on the roster, but those guys play about 60% of our defensive snaps in this system.  We're relying on sub-JAG's like Nathan Shepherd for significant portions of the game. 

Rankins has been alright, he's probably worth the 6.25 mil next season just because we have a ton of space.  We might have done enough damage to Foley Fatukasi's reputation as an elite run-stuffer that he's now affordable, but his talents are wasted in this system.  I was really hoping we'd see a lot more of Jonathan Marshall by this point.

I’m thinking he’s going to fly up boards, but Cam Thomas is a great scheme fit and he can play inside/out.

He’s a poor man’s Hutchinson.

Seems like there have been a lot of negative reports about DeMarvin Leal this season. On some of the mock draft sims I was doing, he would fall, but seems his tape this year isn't that good.

They moved him around a lot.  He’s a very talented kid with more upside than any defensive player not named Thibodeaux.

Pappoe is more of a projection.  He was hurt this season but was unreal in 2020.

Just like guards, we should just continue to take defensive backs in the middle rounds

Post by: Derek Smalls on January 03, 2022, 02:00:47 PM
The good news is that we hopefully have QB1, OT1, 1 edge rusher, competent young CBs, and a very good young WR, so we aren't in terrible shape at the premium positions anymore. This could all change if Wilson or Becton disappoints, or Lawson gets hurt again, or the cornerbacks look more like CB4s than CB2s next year, but for now, we have some guys at some of the more premium positions we can count on.

Our most dire needs are probably tight end, linebacker, safety, and running back, and those are all positions you can draft later if you want, or you can draft early if you think you have a superstar prospect.

We could potentially get young guys who can compete for starting jobs at several positions for us on Day 2, especially if we trade down from one of our 1st-rounders.

Everyone knows how I feel about running back.  We need to add another body there (a power back), but I think our staff likes Carter, Coleman, and Johnson/Walter.  It isn't a big need in this offense.  It never has been and never will be. 

If any of them get replaced, it's likely Tevin Coleman.

Linebacker is our biggest need.  Get an actual linebacker, not a safety convert, and let him learn from CJ Mosley. 

Replacing Maye is also important, but I think that'll be done by a committee in FA and hopefully later picks.  Saleh comes from teams that spent high picks on safety though:  Earl Thomas and Jimmie Ward were both first rounders.  Wouldn't be surprised if we move back into the first for Daxton Hill.

I am still really curious what Saleh thinks about Kyle Hamilton. I don't think I'm ready for a safety in the top 10, but a chess piece like Hamilton could be exactly what Saleh wants. He clearly likes the oversized safeties as linebackers. Ward and Thomas are more traditional safeties.

Tremendous effort by DL Travon Walker #44. If he doesn’t make this play, it might be a TD and Alabama has the lead going into halftime.

275-pounders shouldn’t be able to move like #44. 1st round talent, 1st round effort.

“If I handed you a fishing pole, would you know how to use it?” he asked. “If I’ve never learned (how to fish) or if school has never been important to me, or a job, or a career has never been important until I was done playing football, how would I ever know how to get a career or a job? I won’t.

“You know what I sat back and thought about? I sat back and said what world do I want to be a part of? I said if I go to Alabama, I’m going to win national championships, literally. But do I want to be a guy who’s known as a national championship winner or do I want to be a guy who’s known for being apart of the greatest organization in the world?

“What people don’t realize is that football is an American sport. So, no matter how great Alabama is, you only play football in America, Canada and a couple other places. But a brand like Nike, I mean, for me it was like what brand associations do I want to be tied to? For me, I already hate the stigmatism of football players being dumb jocks. Do you know the stigmatism of Alabama education? It ain’t the West Coast. It ain’t Harvard.”

Then pick 5 mocks Ekwonu to the Giants and goes on raving about him.

I don’t get where he sees any of this with Thibodeaux.  Yeah, he got hurt but so did Kyle Hamilton.

It wasn’t a serious injury.  He rolled his ankle.

Almost has me wondering if JD has his friend on a smear campaign so Thibs will fall.

Or even vice-versa post-combine. My current, too-early dream scenario is one of the 2 top pass rushers falling to 4, and we take best WR at 10.

Although not the most likely outcome, I wouldn't be flabbergasted if Thibs or Hutch drop to 4.
As we all remember, Darnold wasnt supposed to fall to 3, J.Adams wasnt supposed to get to 6, we were never supposed to have our choice of Becton/Wirfs at 11, etc.
