This is a bit different from recruiting but what positions does Bama really need to address in the portal?

I don't see Bama doing nuts in the portal like LSU but there are some positions on defense that IMO need attention:

1. Need someone to replace Thompkins after this year. He's been good but we need a quality DE.

2. Need a high end edge rusher. Someone who can come in immediately and make a difference.

3. At least one big true DT to replace Green. Must be over 300 lbs with cat like quickness.

None of these positions would be cheap but the money would be well spent there.

I'm saying if we're not going to spend much, I'd put ALL of the money for the portal in those positions.

As long as we can keep it we have plenty of talent in the skill positions.

We need quality linemen, both sides of the ball.

We need to shore up offensive and defensive lines. We could also do with an elite WR.

High end edge rushers will go to Texas or Miami, the schools that can pay them a boatload of money. We need to sign and develop those guys out of high school because we aren’t in that tier in the portal. Justin Hill looks like a JAG. Hopefully Matthews can develop
