Name one position on our team where a 1st round talent is sitting behind two other first round talents.
Umm OLB, ILB, LT
We have 4-5 guys not starting right now who have a very legitimate chance to end up Top 10-15 picks. 2 tackles, about 3-4 LBs, a CB.
We sign multiple Top 25 HS players who don't play their freshman year almost every damn season Clover.

It's a little different when you're 2 deep with 1st round talent (Jalen was clearly worthy of the first round), but that's a rare circumstance, and you could make the argument that maybe Mac Jones was better than Tua and Jalen all along - he just needed reps. Who knows? QB is the toughest position to evaluate.
You are completely talking out your arse
By your logic Bryce should have started over Mac last year simply because he was "more talented"
Secondly, you have no idea how these guys are progressing on or off the field. Can they block, can they run their routes, do they understand the playbook, are they doing the right things off the field.

You place way to much emphasis on the "starting" label. Henry and Yeldon essentially shared the backfield in 2014, had within 10% - 15% of the carries as one another. That is Saban's preferred system, he wants our backfield to split carries so we can keep guys fresh throughout the game, use different skill-sets. In 2015, we didn't have a backup to spell Henry and luckily he is an animal so it worked out but we don't want to be running our backs into the ground by the time they make it into the NFL.
TJ Yeldon also isn't some chump, he was an NFL RB
Sure in hindsight and given what happened in the playoffs we may wish for more carries; however, it also needs to be considered in the context of Kiffin's offensive system in 2014 with such a heavy reliance on Amari Cooper.
This isn't really some travesty like you are making it out to be and there are so many other factors that go into Saban making roster decisions.
ETA: I also see you are upset about his True Freshman year and think he stepped on to campus one oe of the best players in the country - you don't seem to sign on to the concept of player development I guess.

He’s a free agent. I don’t know why teams never wanted him even as a 3rd string
Regardless Yeldon was a solid RB at Bama.

There are NFL teams out there who would pay big money for Hall RIGHT NOW based on his 40 time, height, and ADay tape alone.
You honestly think Hall is NFL ready off of an A-day tape?
Sure, I think he is going to be special - but he is barely in to his Freshman campaign and you already think Saban is wasting him.

Ok, thanks edited - but regardless, he is / was an NFL running and was very good and reliable at Bama IMO.

They do not view "receiver" as one big position. Outside and inside receivers are distinctly different unless they are very, very special.
ArmyTide says differently and he clearly knows more than tGoat head coach and multiple massively successful offensive coordinators.

Dont forget C Tuddies. That dude might be the most talented back on the team. But he doesn't know the playbook.

Congratulations.... You gave what ArmyWhiny wanted: Feeding into his trollism.

Hear what you mean but I think it’s amplified by how precise we’ve been the last couple year. Very special groups. This one will find themselves

Slade Bolden is jamming up the wr and Special Teams all by himself. He is slow, he has questionable hands, and he definitely has ball security issues. Slade will continue to fumble if left out there, and eventually it will cost the team.

He is incredibly reliable. Sure handed.
