So I guess we are all in agreement that based on our needs Nakobe Dean is our top priority right now and probably has been for some time. There may be some better overall players left on the board that we would be thrilled to have but this class desperately needs that elite ILB that can come in and start immediately like what we saw the first two years under Saban with Ro, Hightower etc.

Another question here. How does Sanders compare to previous top rated backs like Najee and Damien, Fournette etc. Guys from previous years.

Is Paul Tyson really good enough to garner four stars?

Is Taulia legit and is he as mobile as his brother?

Christian Harris may fill that role as well. He has elite athleticism and he's bigger than Dean.

He's even good enough to play CB

Valid observation, however...

Markail Benton says hello. Shane Lee does too.
And TideSaint pointed to Christian Harris above. Nakobe Dean, Lee and Harris are about ready now physically. Henry To'oto'o is another top ILB target and King Mwikuta might be a fit for ILB as well as OLB. I've seen posts on BOL saying Jalen Moody is doing well so far, but Ben Davis?

If we land Dean plus Harris or To'oto'o along with Lee, our 2019 ILB roster will be skrong. Also, we already have 2020 ILB commit Jackson Bratton and we're in on other great prospects. Several of them have potential to play both ILB and OLB:

Linebackers - 2020 Top Targets
4* ILB Jackson Bratton 6-3/215 AL hudl
5* OLB Sav'ell Smalls 6-4/230 WA hudl
4* OLB Chris Braswell 6-3/211 MD hudl
4* LB Mekhail Sherman 6-3/234 DC hudl
4* OLB Reggie Grimes 6-5/213 TN hudl
5* LB Justin Flowe 6-2/225 CA hudl
