2010 LSU probably has it beat.
Patrick Peterson: Bednarik/Thorpe/All-America, #5 overall pick
Morris Claiborne: Thorpe/All-America, #6 overall
Tyrann Mathieu: Bednarik/All-America, projected 3rd-4th round (likely 2nd round talent)
Ron Brooks: #124 overall pick (4th rounder as a career nickel/dime back)
Tharold Simon: projected later round (5-7?) pick
Brandon Taylor: #73 overall pick
Eric Reid: All-America, projected 1st-2nd round
The important point of comparison that puts LSU over the top here imo is the hardware. Where the players from these two secondaries were contemporary with one another, LSU's pulled in the Thorpe and Bednarik two years running and had the higher draft pick status.
2011 Alabama was very good, but I think 2010 LSU has them beat.
