Front 7--Allen returning starter at DE and a 1st round talent. Payne, former 5-star NT who started as a true freshman last year, budding star. Former 5-star Hand who played a ton at the other DE. Tomilson, 5th year senior who played as much as the starters last year will be top back-up. King is a JUCO guy and likely back-up at other DE. Frazier and OJ Smith return to provide depth on the interior...and that doesn't include the guys who arrive this summer.
At LB Foster and Anderson return as starters and Williams and Hamilton will start and were both top back-ups last year with good production. Back-ups include former 5-stars Evans and Miller along with the best LB class signed in 2016.
In other words a ton of returning experience in the starting front 7, and a little in second group. Won't be as dominant as last year, but easily a top 5 unit nationally, and our secondary could be better with so much returning talent and all of our youth starting to develop back there. I expect a top 5 defense. If offense is on point, Bama will be a tough out again this year for anyone.

payne played a bunch last year. He actually played in every game. He did start as a true freshman but, it was only in three games. Not like he would be considered a returning starter. Right?
hand avg one tackle per game, 15 games played - 16 tackles.
As for the backup Dlinemen. frazier and smith played in a combined seven games with a total of five tackles. Jucos are a hit or miss situation. Plus, king was only a 3* but bama fans will claim him as a 5* recruit for future reference.
Solid starting three. Don't think they will be as good as the '15 starting three. Backups are nowhere near as experienced as the '15 group.
Psst, just between you and me. anderson didn't start a single game last year. foster did start for half the season though. Hamilton even got a few starting nods himself.
Did the tide sign any other LBs beside davis and wilson? If not I would take a class that signed five 4*s and one 3* over them. Safety in numbers. Who had miller as a 5*?
