I was listening to Kiper and McShay on ESPN Radio last night. They were saying that Williams would've likely gone late in the first round. So glad to have him coming back.

They also listed Robinson and Ragland as two who had the most to gain from the combine.

I am hoping that Howard and Allen stay but do not see it.

Howard could go either way. Before the NC game he was projected either the 2nd or 3rd round. I do not think that game helped his draft position much other then clarify he has a huge upside and can do well in the NFL. But I am hoping he saw we are willing to use him in our offense and that if he stayed he could be a 1st rounder next year.

Allen in my opinion he would do well to stay. At best late 1st rounder and a lot of that depends who else declares from other teams. But another year without an injury, which is always a concern) and he should be a top 10 pick.

Not to mention those 2 coming back gives them both a great chance for another ring.

I think he's been listed in the mid to late teens in some of the mocks i've seen.

Ive seen a few mocks where Ashawn, Reed and Raglan all go in the 1st. Allen in the 2nd


I know Saban said something about coming back to improve your stock, but I'll be honest. If Im projected in the 1st 3 rounds, Im gone, especially if I already won a title in college

This is where I see them going. Now during the combine they could all improve their position but I think Allen ends up like Upshaw if he were to leave this year. JMO

I think Ashawn, Allen, Howard are gone. As they should. Even if Allen and Howard are 2nd rounders (it's a big if, I think they go in the 1st) that means they are eligible to be free agents 2 yrs earlier than 1st rnders . 2nd contracts are the most lucrative.

NFL coaches will see Howard, and think he wasn t utilized at BAMA. All coaches feel like they can coach athletes up. His combine measurables will be off the charts.

I stated the same basically and why the NC game really did nothing for his stock. He will go no higher then the 2nd in this years draft. All the NC game did was show he has the ability and maybe finally figured out how to use it except his blocking was not very good in the game and something he still needs to works on. But another year building on what he just did would make him a 1st round pick next year.

I also agree they are all gone as well but I do not think it would hurt Allen or Howard to stay.

Which 4 players. I have yet to see any mock with Howard projected in the 1st round but I do not have access to all of them or probably not seen all of them either.

The mocks I have seen have Robinson and Ragland definitely gone in the 1st. Allen lower half of the first with potential near the end which could push him to 2nd. All mock drafts had Upshaw going 1st but because how others players fell to teams and some teams had to go to 2nd choice Upshaw dropped out of the ist round. I have also seen Reed in the late 1st rd but he could end up in the 3nd as well but has the combine to show out. Henry I have seen as a late 1st rounder as well.

So maybe 5 in the 1st round:

Robinson
Ragland
Allen
Reed
Henry

Howard, C Jones, and Kelly all in later rounds. Jackson would have been drafted as well.

TideWarrior for selfish reasons I want Henry To slip to the 2nd Rd to the Cowboys. They have the 3rd pick in the 2nd because they switch spots with cleveland.

Edit I did not mention Ragland and Reed because they are seniors, and they will be 1st rnders as well.
