Alabama clearly doesnt have the elite senior or junior prospects on defense they have had in the past. Trey DePriest is decent, but he is not CJ Mosley, Rolando McClain, or Donte Hightower. The only junior or senior NFL prospect Alabama has in their secondary is Landon Collins. The same thing applies to the defensive line. Not many juniors or seniors who will be high draft picks. In fact there are probably no juniors and seniors on Alabama's defensive line who will be drafted highly

Heard a guy on the Tide and Tigers show (that comes on during Saturday mornings) really giving it to Reuben Foster. He basically said that he should change positions and play fullback for Alabama, because he doesn't have the hips or fluidity for linebacker.
However, Alabama does have some studs on the defensive line.

Maybe Pettway. All our good prospects are younger guys. Next year, we will have several defensive players that will be draftable. A'shawn Robinson, Jonathan Allen, Eddie Jackson, and maybe Reggie Ragland could be drafted.

and landon collins is a terrible pass defender. Strictly a run stopper and tackler. Constantly out of position when playing one or 2 deep coverages

After watching their last two games I think Jarran Reed is pretty good. I'd take him 3rd round.

Pretty much agree with this. Collins will be a first rounder, as will Cooper on O. The rest of Bama's NFL talent is Sophomores and Freshmen, really. They have NFL talent, but they are young and wont be draft eligible this year.
