re: Really enjoyed Saban as an analyst during the draft last night

The gump Saban worship gets old.

Saban graded out as a D in the NFL draft.
C- in 2005
F in 2006

The notion that Saban is infallible is disgusting.
But this is entertainment.
If he is entertaining (as many are saying), he has value.

The great thing about hot takes is that they are receipts.
Saban will be right or wrong about Mims. It isn't difficult to look back and know if he is full of shite (like his 2 NFL drafts suggest) or insightful.

Mims did play a ton... just not always as a starter. But he had meaningful snaps almost every game 2021 on the way to a national championship. I believe Mims has over 350 pass rush snaps with no sacks allowed.

Stats can tell truths (pass rush snaps with no sacks allowed in a playoff run) and they can imply things that may or may not be relevant (8 starts).

I can say this. There isn't 1 player in the NFL draft who doesn't have a health concern. It is impossible to never miss a game or to never have a procedure (including offseason cleanups). Some concerns are more significant than others.
