re: NFL Execs: Overworked Bama Players Overvalued in Draft

If you look at how many of his players have been drafted and how few of them have truly become stars or pro bowl players, the idea that Saban players have been overvalued by the NFL could not be more true

When you are putting a greater absolute number of players in the NFL as Alabama is currently, you are inevitably going to have a higher absolute number of busts, just because of the random nature of the draft.

Overall though, Alabama has not had a significantly different percentage of their prospects to go on to become busts.

Look at LSU. They have produced great players like Patrick Peterson and Dwayne Bowe. They have also produced players like Jamarcus Russell and Mo Claiborne.

If Auburn put more players in the NFL, this would be more apparent to you.
