Big Jordan Davis goes 4.82 40YD

I lost it. That shite was awesome. The 4.78. Wow

No doubt if Nakobe would have participated we would have had 3 LB’s in the top 7.

Wyatt and T. Walker are going to be studs in the NFL. Their “Average” overall grades are stupid. Davis runs a 4.78 at 6’6 340#’s and he only has a “Will be good in 2 years”??? Just dumb.

Walker running a 4.51 at 6’5 272#’s, a crazy cone drill time, and a 10-yard split faster than nearly all the WR’s and RB’s is incredible. They are all under-valued with the ridiculous grading scale they’re using.

Tindall will probably be a day 1 starter wherever he ends up, and Quay not far behind.

The sheer volume of obscene freak athletes we had on this defense this year was just incredible. We need to be prepared for quite the dropoff next season.

You are frustrated with any of the guys at the combine?

That is a first im hearing of frustration this offseason.

A little frustrating when guys end up in the best shape two months after they leave but money does motivate. They also had nothing to do but train I guess.

I wouldn’t look too much into it. Combine condition is very different than playing condition for these guys. Just the nature of having only your athletic traits and abilities measured vs. having to battle it out with other human projectiles on a field

^ This. At the combine, they don't have to carry the weight they need for absorbing contact... they don't have to be well rounded for the most part, most are heavily specializing in just a couple of events (it's why you see less cone drill/agility work from a lot of participants... heavy focus on 40). It's an audition for which they spent 2 months not just training, but training specifically for the exact drills they intended to participate in. They showed up in top shape for that specific job...

But Alabama losing a WR is why we won. It wasn’t any of these absolute monsters.

Saban is still whining about injuries.

I don't get the injury excuse from Alabama. They are 3 to 4 deep with 4 and 5 star talent. They reload every year and made it to the National Championship game even after losing a ton of talent from the year before. There are a lot of teams that can't afford to lose some starters but Alabama isn't one of them.

They also seem to forget that Saban purposefully chose to remove his starting QBs two years in a row against us because we had shut down their starters. Their backups were able to beat us. So yeah, they can keep their excuses.
