2010 Auburn was one of the least talented national championship teams ever, at least in terms of the number of elite (i.e., drafted) players on the team.

I don't have the time to research, but I'd be curious to see that data.
But there are a lot of GOOD college players that never make it in the NFL because of whatever reasons. It doesn't mean they weren't talented or play their roles well. As stated before in this thread, that OL was exceptional.

It would take five minutes to do a draft day comparison. Again, Auburn had 4 players drafted in 2011 (the draft after winning the championship). The next year, they had 1. Meanwhile, LSU and Alabama are putting 8 guys per year in the draft. A year or two later, Florida State was putting up those kinds of numbers. I mean, those are "talented" teams in the sense that they had elite players up and down the roster. Auburn, not really the case.

It was solid. 2013 OL was better, in my opinion.
