constant good offensive line play.


If you have watched them play then you would know the opposite is true. They have been good at times but they have been wildly inconsistent this year. Seriously why do all of you think this OL is comparable to past Bama OL? 98th in the nation in TFLs given up doesn't make them elite at all.
Henry will probably go in the late 2nd to 3rd rounds. I don't see how that's bad. Multiple late round RB picks do well in the league. Also if he does go in the 4th you can't really call him a bust.

Which is why I'm a little surprised by the spot of the game vs Sparty. Two things MSU does well is defend the run and get to the QB. Bama defends the run much better than they defend the pass. And Cook gets rid of the ball quickly. Should be an interesting matchup.

Mid to late 3rd round is my guess. I view his RB stock as on par with Tre Mason from a couple of years ago. Both ran for about the same number of yards on similar carries (Henry 100+ more yards on 20+ more carries). Both were durable workhouse backs. Similar speed with Mason being a bit faster (4.4 combine) and Henry being a bit bigger.

Mid to late 3rd round and will share carries with someone in the NFL.
