Thread: 'Bama Draft

*****PURELY FOR FUN. DON'T BE TOO SERIOUS WITH THIS*****

What do you think of an all 'Bama draft? Or at least a mostly 'Bama draft. Our needs include 3-4 DE, ILB, RB and Safety, all of which Alabama could possibly have entering the draft. We'd need to trade back a few spots in round 1 and then try to get back into the bottom 3rd of the round, but it could be doable...and we could infuse legit talent throughout the roster.

In my scenario, we trade the #2 for a pick between 6 and 8, as well as a 2nd and 4th round pick. We then use our own 2nd rounder, Miami's 2nd rounder, Orton and/or whatever else makes this work to get back into late round 1.

Round 1 (pick 6-8)-Marcel Dareus, DE...Great fit for our system. Fills a huge need.

Round 1 (pick 20-25 via trade)-Mark Ingram, RB...Moreno has been unreliable and Ingram is a beast w/ an incredible skillset. He's more smashmouth than Knowshon as well. Granted, this is the most unlikeliest of the picks.

Round 2 (pick 38-40)-Donte Hightower, ILB...Round 1 projection prior to the draft, Hightower is the huge, athletic type of LB we could use inside.

Round 3 (via Miami)-Mark Barron, Safety...fits another need

Round 4-James Carpenter, OG...More youth infused on the OLine.

I like it!

Best unrealistic just for fun draft yet. Then again, I like any draft where Denver trades down and nabs Dareus while getting another top pick.

Is Hightower even eligible?
I thought he was a true sophmore?

If hes eligible I'd take him in the 2nd. Dareus/Hightower would be a dream.

Your Alabama draft look a lot better than my "all-Colorado State" drafts. Those never go very well. :-)

Yeah Hightower is eligible. He took a medical redshirt last year after tearing up his knee, his true Sophmore year.

I agree with you on him and Dareus.
