Defensive line
DE -- Raekwon Davis, LaBryan Ray, Stephon Wynn
NG -- Johnny Dwight, Phidarian Mathis
DE -- Isaiah Buggs, Quinnen Williams, Christian Barmore
Reasoning: Alabama lost four defensive linemen this offseason and signed two during the early signing period. Following a National Signing Day decommitment, Nick Saban voiced his desire to add a third defensive lineman, most likely a defensive tackle by way of graduate transfer. With the pool of returning players being thin, adding a nose guard is a top priority.
Players like Davis, Buggs, Williams and even Ray, as a true freshman, received plenty of reps in 2017, however, to lead the next wave of Tide D-inemen with Da’Ron Payne and company.

Outside linebacker
SAM -- Christian Miller, Terrell Lewis, Jamey Mosley, Ben Davis, Cameron Latu
JACK -- Anfernee Jennings, Christopher Allen, Jarez Parks, Eyabi Anoma, Jordan Davis
Reasoning: Four of the five linebackers the Tide signed this cycle are considered either outside linebackers or defensive ends, although they could eventually move inside or permanently put their hand in the dirt. Outside of Mekhi Brown transferring, though, all of UA’s OLBs will be back in 2018, and the four newcomers, including Parks and Anoma, will provide plenty of depth.
That’s something that was needed this past season when Miller and Lewis, who will once again lead the outside ‘backers, went down with injuries in the season opener against Florida State.
