3 writers did a draft of all time Alabama players, and their respective teams:

Team Ivan Maisel
Offense
QB: Jay Barker
RB: Shaun Alexander
RB: Johnny Musso
WR: Don Hutson
WR: Dennis Homan
WR: Paul Bryant
C: Vaughn Mancha
OL: Chris Samuels
OL: Andre Smith
OL: Barrett Jones
OL: Fred Sington
K: Philip Doyle

Defense
DT: Marty Lyons
DE: Bob Baumhower
DE: John Mitchell
LB: Lee Roy Jordan
LB: E.J. Junior
LB: Dont'a Hightower
LB: Keith McCants
S: Hootie Ingram
CB: Don McNeal
S: George Teague
CB: Antonio Langham
P: Greg Gantt



Team Chris Low

Offense
QB: Joe Namath
RB: Bobby Humphrey
RB: Trent Richardson
WR: Julio Jones
WR: David Palmer
WR: Amari Cooper
C: William Vlachos
OL: John Hannah
OL: Billy Neighbors
OL: Antoine Caldwell
OL: D.J. Fluker
K: Van Tiffin

Defense
DE: John Copeland
DT: Marcell Dareus
DE: Jon Hand
LB: Derrick Thomas
LB: Cornelius Bennett
LB: Woodrow Lowe
LB: Courtney Upshaw
CB: Jeremiah Castille
S: Roman Harper
S: Rashad Johnson
CB: Javier Arenas
P: Daniel Pope


Team Alex Scarborough

Offense
QB: AJ McCarron
RB: Mark Ingram
RB: T.J. Yeldon
WR: Ozzie Newsome
WR: D.J. Hall
WR: Freddie Milons
C: Dwight Stephenson
OL: Chance Warmack
OL: Don Whitmire
OL: Mike Johnson
OL: Cyrus Kouandjio
K: Leigh Tiffin

Defense
DE: Eric Curry
DE: Leroy Cook
DT: Terrence Cody
LB: Rolando McClain
LB: DeMeco Ryans
LB: Thomas Boyd
LB: C.J. Mosley
S: Mark Barron
S: Tommy Wilcox
CB: Harry Gilmer
CB: John Mangum
P: Chris Mohr



So, which team would be the best? Leaning towards Low's team, just for DT, Biscuit, Hannah, Julio, and Trent.


A draft here would be interesting, except there are too many people. Someone would end up with Spencer Pennington at QB!

Low's team looks to gave a huge advantage over the other 2.

It's got to be Low's team. That offense is sick-nasty and having both DT and Bennett is unbelievable.

QB: Jay Barker

LOL

Barker wasn't a bad QB but I would pick Namath over him.

Still, I'd say Ivan's OLine and his secondary are probably the best of the 3. Samuels, Barret and Andre? Ingram, Teague and Langham?

Noticeable that no one picked Kirkpatrick or Milliner. Where would Deshea Townsend and Fernando Bryant fit in?

I'm white, 6'2 1/2, no scholarship offers in bball,(I feel this should be noted) and I put up 22 points in high school basketball on this man. I'm still not sure if he knew he was suppose to gaurd me that game or if he even cared, but it does not change the facts(Its my only claim to fame). I also witnessed him go baseline and throw down on a 6'7 dude.


Team Chris Low's D is sick nasty. I would bet on them. It seems they just tryed to even out the teams with all of bama's greats. But cool stuff.

Bart Starr over Barker every day



Only reason Starr isn't a traditional Bama legend was he played during one of our worst decades in history. Shame, a generation removed and could you imagine the bling he'd have racked up under Bear or Thomas?

I don't even thing Starr played a ton for us.

I think there were a few bad picks on there. Barker is not one of our top three QBs. I have a hard time believing Vlachos is one of our top three centers. Give me Caldwell over Vlachos any day. No one took Lane Bearden at punter? I'm not sure Bryant would be one our top 9 WR/TEs.

I dont think Ears played him much until his senior season and I think he got hurt.

Low's team would wreck shop



Just looked again. These teams would get blown away by Low. He draft raped the other two fools.

It blows my mind to imagine Cooper and Julio on the field at the same time

No one could defend Trent running behind Hannah and Fluker.

And David Palmer is his 3rd receiver. Low's team is so much better than the other two it's not even funny.

Trying to guard those guys without letting Trent run all over you would be impossible
