Face it these defenses are good could we get any of them?

I expect at least 6 drafted next year..

i am no college football or draft expert, but i am watching the tide playing since 4 years now...

i think the prospects we can get are FS robert lester, DE/DT jesse williams and DE/DT damion square. the other defensive players will be gone when the pats are picking...

Patriots have 2 former Alabama starters already in Hightower & Deaderick.

They also have these former SEC players on defense: Jermaine Cunningham, Brandon Spikes, Jerod Mayo & Jake Bequette.

There might be some more, but that's just off the top of my head.

Add Kyle Love from Miss State to the SEC players.

Im more interested in that 'bama o-line. Jones and Warmack are amazing.

3/4s of those are offensive players too

Great defensive players have come out of everywhere quite recently. Extremely short-sighted to narrow your want list to LSU/Bama players. Chandler Jones, JJ Watt, Navarro Bowman, Sean Lee, JPP, Revis, Von Miller, Sean Witherspoon, Richard Sherman, Bruce Irvin, Calais Campbell, Chris Long. None of these guys were SEC players and are probably the best talent in the league that's come out recently on defense. There is no doubt Alabama has been the best college program over the last 5 years. I'm beginning to wonder if the sum is greater than the individual parts. Not really any busts, But, these guys haven't exceeded or even lived up to expectations. Very early in some of their careers. I would say none of these guys have exploded in the NFL. Way too early to judge this year's rookies. But, none have flashed greatness yet either.

Marcel Dareus - Good. Not sure if he's going to be a pro-bowler. Top 5 pick

Rolando McClain- Meh. High 1st rounder.

Terrance Cody - Hasn't gotten in good enough shape yet. The Ravens version of Ron Brace. 2ND rounder.

Kareem Jackson - 2nd rounder by Houston. Solid player

Javier Arenas - 2nd rounder by KC. Having trouble getting on the field. Will get a shot now that they've cut S. Routt.

For the LSU Bama game, lots of talent on the field.

Montgomery of LSU could be top 10.
