I don't think either of these teams are anywhere near the talent level of the 2011 squads.

Oh, I agree as far as the 22 starters are concerned, but the 85 man roster is just as talented as it has ever been, especially at LSU. I wouldn't know enough about Alabama's depth to say one way or the other.
The talent on the ROSTERS for The Game of the Century was insane:
ALABAMA
Ha Ha Clinton-Dix
C.J. Mosley
Dee Milliner
Chance Warmack
D.J. Fluker
Trent Richardson
Marquis Maze
Mark Barron
Dre Kirkpatrick
Dont'a Hightower
Eddie Lacy
Courtney Upshaw
Landon Collins
Kevin Norwood
Nico Johnson
Barrett Jones
AJ McCarron
Vinnie Sunseri
LSU
Eric Reid
Morris Claiborne
Michael Brockers
Zach Mettenburger
Michael Ford
Ego Ferguson
Jarvis Landry
Kevin Minter
Rueben Randle
Brad Wing
Bennie Logan
Tyrann Mathieu
Craig Loston
Ronald Martin
Anthony “Freak” Johnson
Russell Shepard
La’el Collins
James Wright
Sam Montgomery
Brandon Taylor

Lamin Barrow

Dural-WR w LSU

Reuben Foster - ILB
Is Reuben Foster the one that was trying to make sure someone, be it him or the guy he hit, would be carried off in a stretcher on special teams last year? If it's the same guy I'm thinking of, I hope he's fixed his technique just a little because the NFL will get him killed.
But he was fun to watch, I'll give him that.

I guess I can add him too. I don't think of him as a high-end talent guy, but a lot of that is probably because of our passing game in 2014. He gets a ton of targets though, and if things continue to improve in the passing game, I can see him getting there.
WalterFootball has him as a 2-3 Round projection for 2017, and that was as of July 2015.

I agree because all the exceptional players are so young on LSU. Next year LSU may legitimately have 3-5 first round picks. Depending on who leaves and doesn't.

Derrick Henry won't sniff first round

You do realize that the NFL does draft on potential a lot of the time right?
Posted on 10/28/15 at 6:48 pm to slackster
All game. About 20 overall. Is this a bet thread to be bumped in 4 years?

Godchaux?
Posted on 10/28/15 at 7:48 pm to RT1941
You are right man! Best of the best. Gonna be a slugfest for sure again this year.
Posted on 10/28/15 at 7:54 pm to Hoovertigah
Yeah, I'd take Godchaux over Dural as a potential 1st rounder. I don't think Dural has a shot at being a 1st rounder.

He was a fricking human battering ram. It was the craziest, scariest thing to see. That's why he took so long to see consistent PT at LB. He's much more disciplined and finally has a good grasp of the playbook.
Right now, he's a fantastic run stopper, and is average in pass coverage. He's ability to improve in the later will dictate his draft round. But the bust talk from rivals has stopped. And considering how his recruitment went down, that says a lot. I mean, he has an Auburn tattoo, if that sheds any light to the uninformed.

Probably true, but Pocic should/could be the #1 center in his class, and some of these OGs are young and may move to OT as they progress. I just put their current positions.
Pocic will be a Tackle in the NFL and should be drafted as such.

Really think so? Obviously that is where the money is, but that is one helluva transition from center to tackle IMO.

LSU's starters are more talented than 2011.
QB 15
TE & FB Even
RB 15
WR 15 (RR was quality but OBJ was weak as a freshman)
Oline 15 (every single lineman is better than 11)
Dline 11
LB 15
DB 11

So you're saying we might score this year lol
Posted on 10/28/15 at 9:34 pm to slackster
You left off Dural. Not the deepest WR class in the world after Treadwell and Doctson, so he could feasibly slip in, and I think he can have the combine to do it.

Yea our offense was somewhat fraudulent. Our defense hid it very well for almost an entire season.

Ah, yes, now I know exactly who we're talking about. The man discouraged from joining a happy interracial Family by Dismukes.
It's good he's gotten his aggression under control. His hits were impressive but a little discipline goes a long way, especially in a Saban-coached defense.
