Lets discuss Alabama draft prospects (1 Viewer)

[SweetT]

Not sure how good Milliner would be for us.

Bama DBs don't produce in the NFL.

I don't follow BAMA enough to understand this in a vacuum Spam. What makes you say Milliner wouldn't fit here?

That CB for Houston (Jackson) has turned into a solid CB.

Saban gimps his CBs technique-wise. It's like QBs under Leach. He doesn't teach a lot of traditional CB techniques you'd expect in a top NFL player, simple stuff like back peddling,

He uses a lot of two-deep zone and then his CBs press (which is good) and then either go deep or drop into a short zone, squatting on shorter routes. It's effective, but his CBs are limited and tend to look better than they are.

Miliner would press here, and he's a big guy with experience at it, so that's good. But we have no idea if he can play off the LOS or how good his man skills really are. He's a much better fit for a zone heavy team.

Kind of like LSU D-linemen.

 

[Bartyboy]

These are all from Walters Football.
If he drops to 15 he just might be BPA.
DeMarcus Milliner*, CB, Alabama
Height: 6-0. Weight: 201.
40 Time: 4.37.
Projected Round (2013): Top 10.

If he is still there in the 3rd or definitely the 4th this is definitely a position of need and might be BPA.
Had 8 interceptions year before last and 4 last year.
Robert Lester, S, Alabama
Height: 6-1. Weight: 220. Arm: 31 1/4. Hand: 9 3/4.
40 Time: 4.66.
Projected Round (2013): 3-4.

Like others have said love his versatility.
Barrett Jones, C/G/T, Alabama
Height: 6-4. Weight: 306. Arm: 34.18.
Projected 40 Time: 5.20.
Projected Round (2013): 2-3.

All these guys could be a good choice in the right round.

Late round pick: Alvin Bailey (I think his name is) OG. Looks like a beast

 

[Vacherie Saint]

Kind of like LSU D-linemen.

These guys say Hi.

 

[MLU]

Kind of like LSU D-linemen.

NFL Scouts, Coaches, GMs, Glenn Dorsey, Rickey Jean-Francois, Marcus Spears, Kyle Williams and Jarvis Green disagree.

Gotcha. I definitely understand the Leach-TTU QB analogy. I just thought Saban was known as a secondary/defensive backs guy. However, Dee M. size and speed make me think he'll transition well to a man or press man scheme. Elite speed helps one make up for whiffs on the LOS and he'll be able to battle bigger WR for jump balls.

Kyle Williams is a beast.. The rest were average players

Marcus Spears has actually been far from just average.

One of them is in our roster. He is a 2 time pro bowler.

Has Barrett Jones serious slid all the way into round 2 or 3? Any reason why? I recall mid-season or so how he was supposedly going to be a sure-shot 1st rounder and the anchor in the middle of some NFL team...........
