Looking at them position by position, side by side.
This uses the 247 COMPOSITE Rankings.
2010 QB: #1 Pro QB, #18 ATH
2011 QB: #18 Pro QB
2012 QB: #26 Pro QB
2013 QB: #4 Pro QB, #39 Pro QB
2014 QB: #4 Pro QB
2010 RB: #16 RB, #7 APB
2011 RB: #3 APB
2012 RB: #2 RB and #5 APB
2013 RB: #1 ATH, #1 APB, #7 RB, #8 RB
2014 RB: #2 ATH* who would be #3 RB if you look at overall player rank
2010 WR: #14 WR, #28 WR* (also listed as #100???)
2011 WR: #8 WR, #15 WR, #24 WR, #31 CB*, #4 JUCO WR, #171 WR
2012 WR: #5 WR, #6 WR
2013 WR: #2 WR. #3 ATH, #50 WR
2014 WR: #12 WR, #32 WR
2010 TE: #11 TE, #23 TE
2011 TE: #10 TE
2012 TE: #18 TE
2013 TE: #1 TE
2014 TE: #1 JUCO TE
2010 OL: #17 OT, #20 OG, #38 OT
2011 OL: #1 OT, #3 C, #2 JUCO OT, #17 OG
2012 OL: #12 OT, #27 OT, #62 OT, #53 OT
2013 OL: #2 OT* (A'Shawn), #2 OG, #1 JUCO OT, #26 OG, #1 Prep OT
2014 OL: #1 OT, #6 OT, #1 JUCO OT, #1 C, #2 C, #23 OG
2010 DL: #79 DT
2011 DL: #4 SDE, #6 SDE, #2 JUCO DT, #9 WDE, #19 DT, #6 JUCO DT, #100 DT
2012 DL: #16 DT, #20 DT, #30 DT, #42 DT
2013 DL: #3 OLB* (Allen), #4 DT, #2 WDE.
2014 DL: #1 SDE, #2 JUCO DT, #3 JUCO SDE, #6 DT, #30 DT, #32 DT
2010 LB: #3 ILB, #8 OLB
2011 LB: #3 ILB, #4 OLB, #29 ILB,
2012 LB: #1 ILB, #6 OLB, #9 OLB, #11 OLB, #6 ILB
2013 LB: #1 ILB, #42 ILB
2014 LB: #1 OLB, #3 OLB, #5 OLB, #9 ILB, #27 ATH
2010 DB: #1 CB, #3 CB, #11 S, #19 S, 2 guys with no rating available
2011 DB: #2 S, #20 ATH,
2012 DB: #2 S, #2 ATH, #6 ATH, #4 CB, #1 JUCO CB, #4 JUCO CB
2013 DB: #9 CB, #24 S, #14 ATH, #37 CB,
2014 DB: #2 CB, #3 CB, #4 S, #5 OLB*
2010 ST: #1 Kicker, #8 Kicker, N/A Punter
2011 ST: None
2012 ST: #1 Kicker
2013 ST: #1 Long Snapper
2014 ST: #3 Kicker
I think the 2014 class looks significantly better, most notably in the trenches and at QB. Skill positions lean towards the 2012 class.
Thoughts? Remember, ALL were ranked the top class in their respective years.
UPDATED TO INCLUDE 2010, 2011, AND 2012 CLASSES!

Hell the only full Saban class that wasn't the top class was 2010. And that class had a lot of "trickeration" threw at it. Basically when we went to Pasadena all the targets we were after had the full court anti Bama press put on them.
The anti Bama arguments I remember:
Alabama is too talented (how does that work exactly?)
Actually using a Bama depth chart as a recruiting tool.
Saban just won a title, he is about to retire/leave .
Alabama just won a title, BCS titles are so rare Bama just peaked.
The Allen fiasco was the most obvious and blatant example of the trickery. I still don't know how we 0-4 on elite RB's as well when he had a guy up front winning the Heisman.
Better yet, what made that class stand out as the anomaly? Was the 2010 class overall just more gullible?
