Auburn fans aren't reserving their place in every CFB Playoff for the next four years either like UGA fans.

Biggest thing on defense for Alabama is we return all of these guys
Raekwon Davis (DE)
LaBryan Ray (DE)
Quinnen Williams (DE)
Mack Wilson (LB)
Dylan Moses (LB)
Keith Holcombe (LB)
Anfernee Jennings (OLB)
Christian Miller (OLB)
Terrell Lewis (OLB)
Jamey Mosely (OLB)
Deionte Thompson (S)
Trevon Diggs (CB)
Shy Carter (CB/STAR)
They all played a lot (and most started) a bit in huge games all throughout the year.
We return serious experience and experienced depth at DL/LB and Thompson was great at S during the playoffs. In reality we are only "replacing" CB and 1 of the safeties with guys who will be thrown into the fire. Any article acting like we return 2 starters and a bunch of fresh faces is either (a) trolling or (b) written by an idiot.

I think returning snaps played would be a better metric than starters.

This shite is so unfair on so many levels. Every got dam year

When we were in the B12 I used to follow stats like this. They mean so little here because there is soooo much talent on the bench and being recruited every year.
Sweet Bama lost 6 DB's! Mizzou returns almost their entire offense and SEC TD record holder Drew Lock, we are going to burn them! Oh wait, they have 4-5 star DB's who are build like our weakside LB's coming to take their spot.
For a school like Mizzou, returning starters are a big deal. For 75% of the league it doesn't matter at all.

terrell lewis is returning

Alabama with the fewest including the top 6 DBs gone.
Bama returns on O: 4 of 5 OL, 3 of 4 WR, QB, RB, TE
on D: 3 of top 4 D-lineman, 3 of top 5 LBs, and Thompson was, essentially, the starter late at FS.
We do lose a ton in the secondary tho.

You forgot Buggs. I believe he is returning. Don't remember reading where he opted out for the draft.
Where is that experienced depth on the DL? bama returns all of three players that played in over half the games.
Two of the seven LBs you named played in four games each. Not much experience there. A third LB had a grand total of 12 total tackles. So that leaves four with extensive game action and decent amt of tackles.
Just judging by stat line it looks like two of the three DBs got most of their time on STs.
BUT, this is bama and we all know by the end of the season their "D" will be one of the best in the country.

Yes, and no. Thompson ended up starting the Sugar Bowl and NCG when Hootie Jones went down against Auburn. So there is at least some experience back at safety. Corner will be a concern.
Correct. Saban defenses blitz a lot and play a lot of man coverage. A great athlete can play corner and get burned if his technique is not good, and corner is a position where there is no substitution for experience. So hell yes it is a concern. If Bama faces an elite qb early before these guys get a decent amount of playing time, then Bama could easily lose one early.

I would put absolutely zero stock in how many starters Bama is losing.

Just to let you know. bama's secondary consists of 3-4*s. They don't have a single 5* currently on the roster.
The bigger concern is if you can keep lock standing upright.
