The defenses in the 2011 Alabama vs LSU game?

**OR**

The offenses in the 2019 LSU vs Alabama game?


The 2011 teams had the following:
10 defensive players that ended up as first round picks:
Morris Claiborne
Mark Barron
Michael Brockers
Dre Kirkpatrick
Dont'a Hightower
Barkevious Mingo
Dee Milliner
Eric Reid
CJ Mosley
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix

An additional 19 defensive players were drafted between 2012 and 2015 that were on the rosters for that game.

16 of the 22 starters were drafted within the first 3 rounds.

29 total draft picks.


For the 2019 game, draft projections for 2020 (I used walterfootball.com - if there's a better one, please let me know):

1st round picks:
Joe Burrow
Tua Tagovailoa
Jedrick Wills
Jerry Jeudy
Henry Ruggs
Justin Jefferson
Lloyd Cushenberry

2011's game had 5 defensive players taken in the first round in the 2012 draft; at this pace, the 2019 offenses are ahead of that pace with 7.

Additional rounds for 2020 draft:
Clyde Edwards-Helaire (2nd)
Thaddeus Moss (3rd)
Damien Lewis (6th)

In 2012's draft, the defenses had 5 players taken after the first round. The total number of draftees:
2012 defensive players: 10
2019 offensive players: 10

15 total points including OT vs 86 total points
534 total yards vs each team surpassing that individually (559 and 541 yards each)


To sum up:

Which will have more combined first round picks?
Which will have more combined total draft picks?

2011 Alabama+LSU defense?
2019 LSU+Alabama offense?

It’s cute that Alabama fans want to compare themselves to the2019 LSU best team ever.


Talk about coat tail riders.

I think all of those guys go in the 1st except for Cushenberry. He should be drafted in the 1st 3 rounds though.

I’d put it at 6 first rounders with it being:

Joe Burrow
Tua Tagovailoa
Jedrick Wills
Jerry Jeudy
Henry Ruggs
Justin Jefferson

Others for LSU almost certainly getting drafted:

Thad Moss
Clyde Edwards-Helaire
Lloyd Cushenberry
Damien Lewis

Others for LSU that could be drafted but have question marks:

Stephen Sullivan
Saahdiq Charles
Adrian Magee

Who would fall into those categories for Bama?
