Ricks will get drafted high off measurables & potential alone.

Arnold was a liability this year.


He’s one that could make a move to safety and find success.

I mean that's his natural position. His NFL comp out of high school was Xavier McKinney.

I disagree with this, he didn't get any significant playing time but good luck to him tho

All depends on the combine. He has put practically nothing on film since his freshman year. But the NFL scouts emphasize the combine over everything anyway. Will always wonder what might have been against Tennessee if they had played him, but as it is he leaves Bama having made basically no impact. Feels like a real waste.

Probably wouldn't have made too much of a difference since we were getting burned by Hyatt in the slot because Hellams wasn't getting deep enough in bracket coverage

Maybe so. I just know there were games where when he was in there the other team just kept going at him. He's still a young player experience-wise, though. I'm not down on him long term, but this year was what it was.

You can't get top deep or they would have exploited the under.

We needed one under and one over. Switch up into zones coverages.

We were trying to bracket him (i.e. one under and one over) at some point in the game and he kept getting behind Hellams.
