Several guys were surprisingly not taken.

Dan Skipper and Alex Kozan seemed liked sure draft picks at points in their careers. I really thought Drew Morgan would get taken. Ryan Switzer from UNC was taken in like the 5th round, and I think Morgan is just as good.

Who do yall think was the biggest SEC snub in this draft?

Cole Mazza, Long Snapper, University of Alabama.

Dead serious.

Fred Ross? Isn't he the top WR in MissSt history?

Our long snapper from a few years ago has carved out a solid career on the Falcons I believe. Somewhat underrated position.

ETA: Josh Harris

I'm biased, but I'm really surprised he wasn't drafted.

Russell Shepard has done rather well for himself.

I thought he'd be a 6-7th round pick.

He is going to have the longest career of any Bama player taken.

Being a homer here, but Jon Toth. Ranked one of the top centers in the nation, 47 consecutive starts, projected as high as 3rd round, highest graded player on South team at senior bowl, great reviews from opposing defensive players in SEC.

Undrafted and hasn't agreed on a free agent deal yet. Rumors there may be an injury issue.

Alex Kozan had strength and athleticism concerns BEFORE major back surgery that many people thought was career ending

Great kid and really good college OG but not surprising he went undrafted


Robert Leff was a bigger snub, especially considerinf how bad the OL class was

Even without an injury he had serious measurables issues...as an OG it is easier to simply draft a college tackle and train him to be an OG. He was never going to get drafted and as much as I have loved him as an Auburn fan I doubt he'll make a roster as UDFA. He just doesn't have what the NFL needs to play at the level.

Potentially best center out of Kentucky since Dermonti Dawson and only down votes for Toth lol

UT Homer statement...but Corey Vereen could make a roster and be a long time contributor somewhere.



113 total tackles and 13 sacks...no telling what his numbers could have been if it weren't for injuries.

Based off his previous year, Dieter.
But not surprising considering his drop off in production. Guy lacked confidence this year it seems.

Fred Ross was great until last year... i think he forgot how to catch or Dak really was that good and made it super easy for him to catch the ball. I'm fairly certain he was projected 4th round after junior season and he chose to return and had a really really bad year. He's nothing special but i do think he has as good a shot to make a roster probably better than most UDFA. Long snapper from bama prolly legit too.
