Bama getting Devonta Smith and Leatherwood back cant be discussed enough. Smith at times was the best WR on the field out. He is 1st round talent with nothing left to prove. He led Bama in receiving yards and TD's... and is coming back???? I truly don't know how Saban pulled that off. I personally don't think he has anything else to prove and would have killed it at the combine. Leatherwood is another borderline 1st/2nd round pick. I don't think Moses coming back is THAT big of a deal. Yes the defense was bad last year, but not sure he improves it THAT much. Still a big get for Saban having that leadership back. I saw Moses projected as late first round on several mocks.

Moses was the on-field leader, calling plays and adjusting as needed. Alabama uses the LB like a defensive QB. When all of those were freshmen, it took a lot away from the defense.

Because of the unknown in his injury recovery. Obviously, he wasn't going to be ready by the combine or pro day.

If he comes back to form of his 2nd yr, he'll go top 5 in the 1rst rd next yr to which there's no doubt.

Wrong! Losing him prior to the season was as bad as losing Tua to injuries.
Actually worse than Tua's loss because Mack the Knife can ball. Getting him back will stabilize the middle of bama's defense. Once again Bama will be top 3 in most defensive categories.
