Buggs and Savion are the only two left I think. Could definitely see Savion going UD though.

I'm guessing Mack is still out there?

I am, Buggs was solid.

Him and SS will get drafted. I think Hale Hentges will be a 7th rounder.

Cotton could sneak in too.

With these late round picks you can never really tell for sure if someone will get drafted.

Mack got picked so low that I don't know if he makes an opening day roster. He better be able to learn the playbook fast, because they won't hesitate to cut him now.

I agree, with the huge exception of Savion Smith. He will not get drafted. Bama had to have an injury for him to even start, he was kicked out of LSU (rumored drug test issue), some evidence his attitude is an issue, potentially faked an injury in his last game, and then tested poorly at the combine. And contrary to Wilson and Thompson, there is no evidence that Saban attempted to keep Smith for another year. If he had stayed at Bama, he would have been a second-team player at best.

I see absolutely no reason for Savion Smith to get drafted and I believe he has no chance to make an NFL roster. He should start driving to Canada now.

If Wilson get's his head out of his arse, he can still be a good pro. The League throws the ball 65% of the time, and he's well above average in pass coverage as an ILB. In the right scheme and with dumptruck loads of humility, he can still have a nice career.

And I still maintain that he, among others, were hurt by our lackluster defensive coaching staff. I played enough ball to know how much a bad coach or coaches can take the shine off of a player. I was an excellent pitcher in baseball my entire life, blazing fastball from a young age, etc., and ended up being a lower-level college prospect. I played some Legion ball but declined to pursue it in college. I just don't love baseball like I do football. But the point is that while my stats were great my senior year, I was really a more dominant pitcher my junior year - because I had a former college coach as my pitching coach. The guy changed schools the next year, and my pitching coach was a great math teacher and a great defensive coordinator, but not a great pitching coach. And so I developed a "swinging gate" in my wind-up that didn't get fixed for half the year. And that would never have happened with better coaching.

Wilson shoulders much of the responsibility for his current situation, but our coaching staff on D was weak last year, and to think that didn't affect the development of our players is nonsense.

Well, we'll be shite at ILB again this season if it is coaching. We'll see if it was Mack or Golding

10 players ended up getting drafted for Bama.

1st time Bama has had double digit draft picks two years in a row.

12 last year

Meanwhile self proclaimed “NFLU” (LSU) had a measly 3 players drafted.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they have a lot of returning players.
