Yea - if the benchmark for having good depth is 2015 Alabama then we may very well have shaky depth for the next 50 football seasons (along with everyone else in America).

That was a once in a generation type level of depth and talent at one position group.



Completely agree!! That defensive front was more than likely a once in a lifetime. I will say that I love the young guys we have and what Coach O is doing here finally again.

The 2015 team had 7-8 high pick NFL defensive lineman all matured and ready to contribute at the same time. Most great teams with great DLs (some of the LSU lines, most of our lines, etc) have 3-4 great NFL linemen and then young, unproven, talented linemen. That is a great setup, and the norm for great setups amongst college position groups.

I feel like we say this a lot about Bama

the 2011 DL, and defense as a whole, for Bama was also once in a lifetime
