I heard from a guy today who is a scout and is down at the Senior Bowl.

He says it is the same thing every year with Bama players.

They are not coached up or developed for the league.

They recruit well and out talent most everyone. But they are not developing these players for the NFL. Scouts must evealute them based on potential in NFL.

Says OJ Howard is a great example. He has no clue how to play the TE position in an NFL set. But he is just one heck of an athletic freak.

Just thought it was interesting.

And they get more freakish with their S&C program. Those two things combined make up 85 percent of Bama's success IMO.

He said it is even the simplest of things - OJ didn't even know what foot to lead with when split out on the right or left side of the line.

That's on the nfl for rewarding Bama with a recruiting pitch and drafting their players.

@SDS: The 3 teams that have recruited the best over the last 5 yrs also happen to have 4 of the 5 national titles & 3 of the top 4 win percentages

This proves that there is a direct correlation with
recruiting & wins.

What about teams with line heavy classes that are underrated?

I bet you love 3* projects and are happy with just a winning season and a bowl game too... to each his own. I prefer 10+ wins, a shot at the SEC championship and getting into the playoff...

I prefer to not complain when there is nothing I can do about it. That's the difference between us.

WANT SO MUCH. I don't think Cam will last till the 3rd round at this rate though

Probably not. That mock was probably made before Senior Bowl practices started. Of course it will change after the combine too.

I'm hoping the Titans trade back somehow and acquire a 2nd round pick.

Ha-Ha, this place is hilarious--- folks on here actually taking the time to try and justify and make a case why 3* are basically just as good as 4-5* by taking the wait and see and develop approach and weighing whether or not one may have a 4* grade on one service... SMH. 95% of the time, 4-5* are safer bets and a quicker return on investment if you have a descent coaching staff...
Sidenote---- AL has gotten to such a lopsided and bloated level, it is crazy to see 5* still go knowing they will be 2-3rd string starting off with the chance down the road to see the field over going to another competitive school where they could start day 1....

Lol, everyone wants the 5*, genius. Guess what, Bama has them and 90% of schools don't. So we talk about what we do have, and the upside of each one.
I get it, you believe you hit on some secret none of the rest of us realized. Not trying to burst your bubble but we already knew.

Apparently this is a foreign concept, but you can know the truth and choose not to spend your life *****ing.

To all. Anyone who follows recruiting knows this.

If you are on this board at all you see that point pile driven into oblivion regularly.

Nobody in their right mind thinks otherwise. My wife can tell you why Bama is good. They have the best players. Duh.

From NFL.com on Barnett...boo this man

The scoop: "(Derek) Barnett generates a lot of discussion out on the road. He's physical and he's got great production, but some scouts just don't think he'll be able to translate those numbers to the pros because he's not very explosive off the ball. He won't overpower NFL tackles like he did in college." -- AFC North area scout on the Tennessee DE
