Re: LSU - 'Bama defensive draft picks

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.
