BOL Round Table

How about Williams????

That's great and all, but bleacher report is kind of a joke.

They've improved, somewhat, by making at least some reputable hires recently. The guy who wrote this article, Matt Miller, runs some sort of scouting service & has been interviewed by several different sportstalk radio shows & I just found this article from a year ago which appears to be his 1st mock draft of the 2012 NFL Draft, in which he says that TR, Dre & Upshaw will be the 3 players chose from Bama.

Obviously, a lot can happen in a year, including having no idea which teams, with most importantly which needs, will draft where, but at least he seems to have some idea of what's going on.

Would be cool to actually have players called consecutively like that.

Well, I think the one thing that this article tells me, is that we're going to be in just as good of a position to have up to 4 or 5 1st round draft picks in next year's draft, that we were in heading into the 2011 season, which is fan-freaking-tastic IYAM.

Awfully tough to predict which players get drafted where, even as early as right after the season concludes, much less right after spring practice concludes, nearly a year before it takes place. There's no way of knowing what kind of injuries take place or which players will decide to leave early, which can change the decision of other players to leave early. But when you've got 5 guys listed by at least one person familiar with how these things operate & your fanbase can easily point to at least 2 more who could, by all accounts, wind up as the highest players drafted from your school, you're tearing it up.
