Has there ever been a single game with a larger collection of skill position talent?
20 of the 22 offensive starters are currently on an NFL roster, or guaranteed to be after this years draft. 13 of those were 1st round picks. (This doesn't include Deculus who should make a roster this year)
10 of the 13 players who caught or threw pass were 1st round selections. Of the remaining three, Terrace Marshall was a second round pick, Thaddeus Moss is on an NFL roster, and Davis-Price is possibly a late round selection this year. Moss is the only one who went undrafted.
NINE Alabama starters on offense were FIRST round picks (including Evan Neal, a lock this year). Landon Dickerson was an early second round pick and Deonte Brown was a late round pick. All eleven starters are on NFL rosters or will be. This doesn't include backup QB Mac Jones.
Four LSU starters on offense were first round picks. Eight starters were drafted, Nine if you include Austin Deculus projected to be drafted this year. 9 of the starters are on NFL rosters, not including Deculus and Guard Andrew Magee.
Of the 10 interior lineman, 7 of them are or will be NFL starters, including Evan Neal this year. This doesn't include Deonte Brown, who is on the Panthers roster or Austin Deculus who will be a this year)
In addition, all four starting CB's were first round selections (including Stingley, who will be a lock this year).
Absolutely insane.

Neither could compete with 1995 Nebraska and their one first round draft pick on offense.

Makeshift 24 man offensive roster just for funzees. Not even counting backups like Mac
QB: (2)
Joe Burrow: Elite Starter
Tua Tagovailoa: Up and Down as a starter. Still better backup than 90% of NFL teams
RB: (3)
Najee Harris: Pro Bowl Alternate as a rookie
CEH: Quality All-Purpose Back. Starter for a good amount of teams
Brian Robinson: 3rd day Pick. Not bad for a 3rd string
WR: (6)
Jamar Chase: All-Pro
Justin Jefferson: All-Pro
Jaylen Waddle: Rookie Record for Catches in a Season
Devonta Smith: 1000 yard receiver as a rookie
Jerry Jeudy: Struggled with injuries but still a WR2 on most rosters
Terrace Marshall: Quiet rookie year but still a quality backup
TE: (3)
Thaddeus Moss: On NFL roster
Jahleel Billingsley: Headcase but has the talent to be an Day 2 pick and NFL starter
Steven Sullivan: Mostly been on active rosters since getting drafted
OL: (10)
Evan Neal: Future Top-5 pick. Plug and Play starter
Jedrick Wills: Pro Bowl caliber guard for the Browns
Jonah Williams: Starting LT for the Bengals. Solid from what I understand
Damien Lewis: Starter for the Seahawks
Lloyd Cushenberry: Starter for the Broncos
Alex Leatherwood: Starter for Raiders. Struggled from what I read
Saahdiq Charles: Backup with starting experience
Landon Dickerson: Starting Guard for the Eagles
Deonte Brown: Late Round Pick. Backup
Austin Deculus: Projected to be drafted
If the line is just decent, this is the best offense in the NFL and easily has the best depth at the skill positions

He was in the NFL in 2019, but regardless, that is far and away the best O-line in the NFL for its age.

You just built the Bengals with a better O-line. Weaker at TE, but that can be overcome. You just built an AFC championship team with a bunch of guys in their early to mid 20's.

Lets be real. That team should have at least 4 wide-outs on the field at all times

Adding Jefferson and Waddle to Chase makes a good Bengals WR corps to an absolutely absurd one. Mixon may or may not be the better back out of those, but I think the RBs as a whole would be stronger.
I mean, they just built an AFC team out of guys in their early-mid 20s AND using only two schools.
Of course, the number of first round draft picks it would have taken to get them all would be... well, absurd as well.

Totally agreeing with the overall message of insane talent on display in that game but to be accurate Diggs and Fulton were second round picks.

With the o-line, yeah they could get away with it.
You can't build an NFL secondary that could contain Chase, Jefferson, Smith, Waddle.

Damn, my bad. I just assumed without confirming Diggs was a first rounder, and would've lost a bet that Fulton was as well. I was going to dig deeper into the defense's as a whole, but seeing how poorly I researched the corners, it was probably best I didnt.

I have to disagree on this. Burrow and Chase have overshadowed him, but Mixon is in the conversation for the best overall back in the NFL. He is running (and running well) behind a horrid O-line, and is right there with Ekeler and Kamara as the best receiving back in the league.
Edwards-Helaire is a solid back but hasn't done enough to justify a #1 pick. Najee Harris is an entirely different offense with a small sample size so its tough to compare, but both have a long way to go to be at Mixon's level.
Regardless, a LOT of teams would trade their current situation to have Harris and Helaire as their backs.

I have zero attachments to this game, but I will randomly turn on the extended highlight cut from this game
Love the 2019 LSU offense and 2019 Alabama was no slouch either. Truly an offensive clinic.

I will still do that with the 2013 LSU/UGA game. One of the few losses that I will go back and watch. I was actually at the game. Up until the 2019 season, that was the best LSU offensive game I have ever attended. Had a blast.
