Which one of those guys didn’t start on last year’s defense? TIA.
ETA: I’ll help you out and narrow your options to the guys who were selected this year:
Minkah Fitzpatrick
Ronnie Harrison
Rashan Evans
DaRon Payne

One of the most amazing things to me is that the lowest draft pick of the bunch started as a Rookie for the Chicago Bears.

Shaun Dion Hamilton and Anthony Averett were both starters

What does that have to do with the 11 guys I listed?

The 11 you posted were not the starters

Evans was still subbed in a lot for SDH, took over as the full time starter when SDH went down, and make 52 tackles. He wasn’t some backup.
Averett started but Alabama doesn’t rarely runs in base. Many times 5-6 DBs were on the field all at once.

This list is also why I laugh when people say “any” NFL team would blow out even the best college team.
If I were to tell you the Cleveland Browns had 10 picks on the first two days of the draft, to include 6 in the first round, we would immediately expect them to be competing for Super Bowls.
Not saying Bama would win, but that team wasn’t getting blown out by any damn body.
It's not just the talent level. It's also the fact that NFL players are able to dedicate way more time to football than they can in college.

That and they know the game much better and are much more physically ready. I fricking laugh at people every year thinking a college team could beat the Browns when they can't even beat Clemson or Auburn

Yep...the olines and Dlines of a college team would get annihilated by an NFL team.

I still want to see what the Clemson Offensive Players from 16 have done in the Pros. They made Bama look foolish.

I wouldn't say that. the 4h quarter sure, but overall it was a give and take game. Bama's defense is, generally speaking, only suspect to a qb who can drop it on a dime and avoid pressure. Watson played is arse off and it was still a game where 1 play at any point could have swung it.

the expansion Buccaneers were the last team that could have been feasibly beaten by a college football team of the era.
They were that bad, comprised of players that had no business in the NFL, terrible chemistry and a no real identity. Their size was so below average even the 70s NFL, that they would have been played off the field by a modern elite college football team.

Among the numerous stars on the 2001 Miami squad were: quarterback Ken Dorsey; running backs Clinton Portis, Willis McGahee, Najeh Davenport, and Frank Gore; tight end Jeremy Shockey; wide receiver Andre Johnson; offensive tackle Bryant McKinnie; defensive linemen Jerome McDougle, William Joseph, and Vince Wilfork; linebackers Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams; and defensive backs Ed Reed, Mike Rumph, and Phillip Buchanon. Additional contributors included future stars Kellen Winslow II, Sean Taylor, Antrel Rolle, Vernon Carey, and Rocky McIntosh. In all, an extraordinary 17 players from the 2001 Miami football team were drafted in the first-round of the NFL Draft (5 in the 2002 NFL Draft: Buchanon, McKinnie, Reed, Rumph, and Shockey; 4 in 2003: Johnson, Joseph, McDougle, and McGahee; 6 in 2004: Carey, Taylor, Vilma, Wilfork, Williams, and Winslow; 1 in 2005: Rolle; and 1 in 2006: Kelly Jennings).
Overall, 38 members of the team would be selected in the NFL Draft. As of 2013, they had earned a combined total of 43 trips to the Pro Bowl: Ed Reed (9), Andre Johnson (7), Frank Gore (5), Vince Wilfork (5), Jeremy Shockey (4), Jonathan Vilma (3), Willis McGahee (2), Chris Myers (2), Clinton Portis (2), Antrel Rolle (2), Sean Taylor (2), Bryant McKinnie (1), and Kellen Winslow II (1). In addition, Vilma, Shockey, Wilfork, Joseph, Rolle, McGahee, and Reed have won the Super Bowl. It has been estimated that the 2001 Hurricanes would cost nearly $120 million as an NFL team as early as 2009.

Because of that inept offense of Bama. Clemson’s offense did play great but Alabama’s offense deserves way more blame then the defense. The defense would force Clemson to punt only for the Bama offense to go 3-and-out in like 1 minute. They got no rest what so ever thanks to that.
