Jobe is one that should come back... But going to be 2-3rd rounder

I think Leary comes in and starts right away at WR. Earle will play a lot too
Also, No Chris Allen starting?

I think that looks like a pretty accurate guess, assuming none of those guys get hurt or anything. Though I am sort of surprised to see McClellan ahead of Sanders, but I could see it.

Jobe and Allen seem like the 2 with the "improve your value" question sitting out there.
Jobe could clearly come back, be a lock down CB on a really good defense and be a 1st round pick. Allen could play a full season healthy like he did the last 6 games and really make some money.

Some of my major predictions that have come true...
I predicted the 2011 defense would be the greatest of all time.
I also predicted in December 2019 that our 2020 team would rival or surpass LSU, both as a team and an offense.
I believe I was right on both.
My point is, this team will be a great one. We haven't seen much of Bryce Young, but that was the same case of Deshaun Watson at Clemson before he took over as the starter. I look for some players in our 2021 class to make an early impact as well. I will go into more detail on the offense later.
Defense should be much improved, best since 2017 or better.

Only because I have him leaving for the draft. If he comes back, definitely starting.
Boy, there's gonna be some talented depth on that defense.

If we get Jobe and Chris Allen back, we're gonna have guys on the 3rd unit that would unequivocally had been starting in 2019.

If Brown comes back, that'll make for another physically dominant line. Wish Dickerson was back for one more year.

I think Drew Sanders starts at the other OLB spot opposite of Anderson.

If we got Brown back for next year the O-line would still be really good.
I'll be curious to see what they do with the 2 stud incoming tackles and Evan Neal. I've read a lot of people who think Neal is a RT (and a future great one), but not a LT. I wonder if one of the 2 freshmen starts at LT.

We also have Jackson Bratton at inside linebacker who was a 4-star recruit last year.

Not sure cornbread comes back. He should be a top 2-3 round pick.
I think 28 comes back. He was not the man this year and he needs to prove he can be the number 1 CB on Bama's team. I assume we sure hear things this week on the obvious ones like Mac and waddle and smitty declaring.

I like yours with a couple changes.
I don't think Brown comes back. To my knowledge he is already committed to the Senior Bowl (not that he couldn't change his mind).
My OL would be:
LT - Neal
LG - Latham
C - Dalcourt
RG - Ekiyor
RT - George
Also I wish Jobe would return but I'm not sure. If he goes (which is my guess), I'd have a secondary of:
CB - McKinstry
CB - Moore
Star - Branch

Yea I'm really curious to see what they do with Moore/Branch.
Cornerback will be interesting with Moore/Jackson/Williams/McKinstrey and then a lot of those other kids are going to be SO/JR (Armour-Davis, Banks, Robinson).

I hate it but Sanders is an unknown at this point. Hope he is able to return to form.
Posted on 1/12/21 at 10:13 am to SummerOfGeorge
I'm really excited about the next few years. A whole lot of highly regarded young kids getting a chance to step in and make plays and compete with eachother and some veterans is going to make for a great situation on both sides of the ball, I think.
Going to be some offensive growing pains, but the talent is there at every position group to be really damn good once we figure it all out.

I'll be 100% honest - I totally forgot about him. I don't mean that a slight or anything, I just totally forgot.
