White started 40 something straight games and led us to the 11-0 season in '93.
Nix threw some big time time TDs (93 Iron Bowl and 94 in the Swamp.) 17-5-1 as a starter.
Just an opinion...

Stephen Davis and Kevin Greene would be in my top 5 at their respective positions.

It's funny how young you guys are in this thread. And I'm not even that old from an Auburn perspective. Anyway, Cox doesn't belong anywhere near a top 5 QB list. I'd personally go Reggie Slack as 5th.
Fullwood should be second behind Bo for me as far as best Rb goes, but I can see the argument for Caddy from a overall stats perspective. James Brooks, Tucker Fredrickson, Joe Cribbs, Stephen Davis all belong on a top 5 RB list above Mason, Brown, and Tate. While Tre was a very good back for us, you are confusing his skillset with Gus's offense putting him in awesome spots. Bo, Fullwood, or Brooks would have put up Tecmo numbers in Gus's offense.
Karstan Bailey #1 over Beasley? Anyway Beasley is #1, I'd say Frank Sanders and Lawyer Tillman should be the next two, followed by maybe some combo of Taylor, Freddie Weygand, or Shayne Wasden.
I'd put Ed King and Willie Anderson over Simmons or Gandy on the OL list, but we've had a ton of good OL over the years so it's hard to quibble too much on top 5 lists there.
DL is another tough one. I'd put Doug Smith, Benji Roland, Ron Stallsworth, Ben Thomas, Gary Walker and Gerald Williams above Groves and Ford by a bit.
At LB Thomas really doesn't belong on there to me. Kurt Crain would be in my 5, he was a beast. Greg Carr probably as well. Quentin Riggins and Craig Ogletree being right behind.
At CB Calvin Jackson and Kevin Porter are two of the best we've had, I'd put both ahead of Irons/Powers/Lee. Corey Barlow was also 2 time All SEC for us back in the late 90s.
At safety I'd put Tommy Powell up near the top of the list. I'd probably put Brian Robinson on there as well.

None of the kickers on your list could sniff the kickers we had in the 80s and 90s jocks. Al Del Greco tops the list by any measure, and I'd put Scott Etheridge and Jim Von Wyl up there as well.
Wes Byrum is as good as anyone we've had. I agree Al Del Greco is up there though.
Beasley was voted up to #1 spot while you were typing.

Actually, looking at Al's stats a bit more I'd go with Byrum above him, you're right. I was letting his pro stats cloud my judgement (along with the 83 season). Byrum had better college numbers.

Yeah, I see that. Just seeing Karsten Bailey of all people voted above Beasley just made me laugh pretty hard. Bailey was a solid receiver, but nothing all that special to me. I'm actually pretty surprised Beat put him in his top 5 considering he's been watching since at least the 70s.

I have a hard time ranking our kickers & punters because it's been so long since I remember a bad one.

True that, fortunately we've always had fairly good punters and kickers. Though some of our punters had crazy legs to go with the accuracy, like Colbert and Terry Daniel. Clark had great accuracy and hangtime, but lacked the boom of some of our previous punters.

Wes did this, he is #1. I will fight anyone here who disagrees with me.

What about Tim Carter for kick returner?

Who was it that missed 10 FG's against LSU a few years ago? Vaughn? That would count as a "suck" in my book.

Think that was him? He was pretty solid otherwise.
I'd have to go back to Matt Hawkins to think of a less than solid kicker.
