Don't mistake unproven depth for no depth. Bama has blue-chip players stacked on top of blue-chip players. Ben Davis for example was a 5-star LB and may not make the 3 deep this year. Let that sink in.

WR- Ridley is top dog but I think the next 3 or even 4 would come from AU.

Foolishness. Ridley is clearly tops, but Robert Foster was also a 5-star talent that's been injured. He's every bit as talented as anyone on AU's roster. The SEC will also soon be introduced to 5-star Jerry Jeudy who may already be better than Ridley. And that's not to mention Ruggs, Smith, Cam Sims, etc. Our WR corps is stacked with 4-5 star guys and several future NFL players. The comparison to AU's receiver's is laughable.

quote:
DL- Payne is the best guy but the numbers on the DL favor AU

Hand is experienced, and productive. Former 5-star who should have a great season. We also have tons of other guys who have been waiting their turn. Raekwon Davis, Williams, Buggs, 5-star L. Ray, and more. Bama is 3-4 deep on the DL with lots of talent just not lots of experience. Don't confuse the two.

quote:
OL- Jonah Williams is top guy IMO but AU has more depth on OK and stacks up pretty well.

Pierschbaker is All-SEC. So is Bozeman. Tons of studs competing for the RT spot including two incoming 5-stars. Again, the talent level isn't even close to the same. AU has a very solid team and matches up well with Bama, but if it beats Bama it will be in spite of a talent gap not because the talent is equal.
