I think it's Upshaw for me. After seeing that video from that the NFL did where he went back and visited his hometown, that changed it for me. You could tell he was a down home guy and he realized he was living a dream.

Thursday night saw four former Alabama players be selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft with Trent Richardson, Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick, and Dont’a Hightower being selected in the first thirty-two picks. It marks the second consecutive year that the Crimson Tide have had four first round draft picks, something that’s not lost on top prospects.
Jonathan Allen, OLB/DE, Ashburn (Va.) Stone Bridge- "I think it speaks for the tradition of the program and shows their dominance!"
Kendell Beckwith, OLB/DE, Clinton (La.) East Feliciana- "It’s really no surprise to me because those guys are real good players so I expected that of them…it just shows how great Alabama’s program is."
Demarcus Bingham, WR, Foley (Ala.) (2014)- "It’s amazing man. Very impressive. Only team to be like that in years and they all deserve it…especially Trent. He’s done a lot from being a backup running back. He played a lot this past season. I’m really proud of them all. Mark Barron also- I just love that guy for some reason. Every time I see him I get motivated for some reason."
Ronnie Clark, ATH, Calera (Ala.) (2014)- "I think it’s awesome they had 4 people get drafted. Maybe if I go there it will be the same result."
Raheem Falkins, WR, New Orleans (La.) George Washington Carver (Alabama commit)- "That’s great for the guys who got drafted, and I hope the rest get drafted as well. That just lets me know that if I continue to work hard I’ll get rewarded big."
Riley Ferguson, QB, Butler (N.C.) Matthews- "I think it’s amazing and it just proves that Alabama gets people mentally and physically ready for the NFL."
Reuben Foster, LB, Auburn (Ala.) (Alabama commit)- "It was great and is a big time thing for me."
Walker Jones, LB, Germantown (Tenn.) Evangelical Christian- "I think it’s awesome. Definitely not a surprise with the loaded recruiting classes they've been having and the great teams they have been producing."
Alvin Kamara, RB, Norcross (Ga.)- "It just goes to show what their program is all about! They have to be doing something right. Coach Saban is getting them ready for the next level."
Brendan Langley, CB, Marietta (Ga.) Kell- "Two of which are DB’s…I’m speechless."
Tyler Luatua, TE, La Mirada (Ca.) (2014) - "I think it’s great that Alabama has five guys in the draft and four that have already been drafted. This shows that Alabama’s football program is great and the coaching there must be excellent, especially their recruiting system. This makes me want to be a part of Alabama after my high school career. Alabama always has major talent enter the NFL and those players deserve to go to the NFL."
Joe Mathis, DE, Upland (Ca.)- "That’s the reason why they won the national championship."
Tray Matthews, safety, Newnan (Ga.) (UGA commit)- "It’s crazy how one school produces that many first rounders. It shows how great their program and coaches are."
Kenneth Santa Marina, OL, New Orleans (La.) McDonough 35- "I say that it’s great to have that many in the first. If possible, they could have more next year."
Bo Scarbrough, ATH, Tuscaloosa (Ala.) Northridge (2014)- "I think that was pretty good for them last year when they had a couple go in the first round and then this year…Alabama players always go in the first round and I think that is pretty awesome."
Geno Smith, CB, Atlanta (Ga.) St. Pius X (2012 Alabama signee)- "Well I just feel like Alabama puts you in the best situation to get yourself drafted. It just depends on what you do when you get there. Hard work pays off."
Ardarius Stewart, ATH, Birmingham (Ala.) Fultondale (Alabama commit)- "I think it’s great. The guys deserved it. They worked hard for it and this is how it works out when you’re working hard to accomplish something. I also like how Coach Saban was there supporting his guys and hopefully I’ll be blessed with that opportunity as well."
Tim Williams, OLB/DE, Baton Rouge (La.) University Lab- "It shows they get it done."
Tre’ Williams, LB, Mobile (Ala.) St. Paul’s (2014)- "Just watching them achieve their goals is the best thing. Also the fact that Coach Saban put five in the draft period is just incredible. I’m happy for those first rounders."
Matthew Thomas, LB, Miami (Fla.) Booker T. Washington- "Very impressive. They develop 1st rounders."

I think maybe if he'd been able to work out at the combine he would've climbed last year as well. It would've been tough with his shoulder, but I think he would've climbed some. Hightower is the guy who DEFINITELY helped himself by coming back. But Barron definitely picked up a few million by coming back too.

K. I don't really watch Southpark so I missed it, haha. Sadly though, it didn't seem that unrealistic. Rob has done some crazy shite the last few months. Between accidently tweeting his phone number and dying his hair and posting shirtless pics of himself with his qb....this didn't seem out of the realm of possibility

You really should post a little less.....not trying to be an arse but a good percentage sucks.

Brooklyn (N.Y.) Jefferson DE Ebenezer Ogundecko informed 247Sports' Luke Stampini that he's been offered by UA and the Tide currently sit in his top five. Ogundecko also has offers from Arizona State, Boise State, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Ohio State, Rutgers, Vandy, Boston College, and Syracuse. He committed to UConn but decommitted when more offers started to roll in.

Don't sweat no WR buddy, this is the deepest WR draft in 20 or so yrs TONS of great picks in the 2nd and 3rd and Stephen Hill also falls to 2nd after Titans make a turrible pick for Kendall Wright then 49ers AJ no name from Illinois (I had him 4th rd on my projection, not to mention they also signed 32 WRs and had their pick of rushers to add and screwed it up )

Kendall wright looked bad arse when i saw him play.
Posted on 4/27/12 at 9:09 am to BlackPawnMartyr
Anybody know when Bateman will commit to us? This summer, right?
Posted on 4/27/12 at 9:12 am to BlackPawnMartyr
I also like Stephen Hill, 49ers REEEAAALLY screwed that pick up with him still on the board
