Alabama has probably had 8 or 10 defensive players drafted in the first round under Saban and those players have combined for a grand total of zero Pro Bowls so far. If you have that many first round draft picks, you would think at least 1 of them would make at least 1 Pro Bowl
Marcell Dareus made the Pro Bowl last year...

So? One of your fans made an erroneous statement and I just pointed it out...if you'll check his post, he said "...8 or 10 defensive players drafted in the first round under Saban and those players have combined for a grand total of zero Pro Bowls so far..."
He didn't specify status...if you check the roster for the 2014 Pro Bowl, Dareus is on it so he made the Pro Bowl...

Alabama clearly doesnt have the elite senior or junior prospects on defense they have had in the past. Trey DePriest is decent, but he is not CJ Mosley, Rolando McClain, or Donte Hightower. The only junior or senior NFL prospect Alabama has in their secondary is Landon Collins. The same thing applies to the defensive line. Not many juniors or seniors who will be high draft picks. In fact there are probably no juniors and seniors on Alabama's defensive line who will be drafted highly
Pretty much agree with this. Collins will be a first rounder, as will Cooper on O. The rest of Bama's NFL talent is Sophomores and Freshmen, really. They have NFL talent, but they are young and wont be draft eligible this year.

Tony Brown, FR
Rashaan Evans, FR
Joshua Frazier, FR
Da'Shawn Hand, FR
Marlon Humphrey, FR
Christian Miller, FR
A'Shawn Robinson, SO
Eddie Jackson, SO
Ryan Anderson, SO
Reuben Foster, SO
That's 10 FR or SO that will be in the NFL one day. There are several FR & SO that have the potential to make it to the league, but I only listed those that are most likely.
Jarran Reed, JR
DJ Pettway, JR
Denzell Devall, JR
Reggie Ragland, JR
Landon Collins, JR
Xzavier Dickson, SR
Trey DePriest, SR
That's only 7 that are JR and SR. Again, Bama has NFL talent, but most of it is young. Not an "excuse", just a fact.

Its telling if you are having to compare yourself to Alabama
Posted on 9/16/14 at 10:26 am to TTsTowel
Well this is probably the least talented defense Alabama has had in years, so

And they'll still end up leading the conference in scoring D.

We'll try. You guys try to crack 20 against us for the first time since 2010.

When Auburn has to play both Georgia and South Carolina while Alabama gets to play Tennessee and Florida, nobody can seriously dispute the idea that Alabama has an easier schedule

LSU fans talking trash about Bama's defense that will finish ranked ahead of it's own defense for like the 7th year in a row is pretty funny. How about LSU actually beats Bama and/or win the SEC before you talk trash to anyone. Your team looks like an 8-4 team to me this year, so good luck with all that.

You better have good defensive statistics when you play the schedule you guys do each year.

Disagree, but it does probably have the least mature talent in years.
The Sophomore class is loaded defensively, and my guess is the Freshman class will be as well.

Pretty safe bet that Landon Collins will be drafted in the first round. DePreist will get picked up. X.Dickson will probably get drafted too if he keeps playing the way he has.
Who are all these Auburn defensive players expected to be drafted next year?

No he didn't.

"Winston Churchill, he of the Auburn heart, said it best: 'Never, never, never, never give up. We will fight on the land. We will fight on the sea. We will fight in the air. We will fight until Hitler and his Nazis are driven from the face of the earth.' "Now, I'm not comparing UA to Hitler and the Nazis. Not at all. There are many good UA people, and I have many good UA friends, at least a few, and I have great respect for them and their program for what they've accomplished down through the years. But this is not about them - this is about us. Who we are, what we are, and what we are going to do. "We are going to fight them today. We are going to fight them tomorrow. We're going to fight them every day and every way. We won't win all the battles, but we're going to win the war.
