John David Mercer-USA TODAY Sports The XXX get the best edge rusher in the draft class Though mostly expected to go in that 8-12 range, the run on offensive players in the top ten pushed Dallas Turner a little down the draft board... And the Minnesota Vikings benefitted from it. The 6’3” 250 lb pass rusher with a 4.46 forty yard dash is the second edge rusher off the board, and is going to a team that is generally considered a well-run program in Minnesota. Turner will now get to chase around the #1 overall pick, Caleb Williams, in the NFC North. Turner had a great two and a half years as a st ..read more

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports Alabama has yet another top 10 draft pick. Another year, another first round tackle from Alabama. For the sixth time in the past seven seasons, Alabama has seen one of its big bookends taken on the first day of the draft. This year it’s JC Latham, their behemoth on the right side, who went to the Tennessee Titans with the 7th overall pick of the 2024 NFL Draft. Latham’s measurables are off the charts. His Combine measurements had him at 6’6” tall and 342 lbs, with elite 35 inch arm length. He came to Alabama as the top rated offensive tackle in his class, and lived u ..read more

Photo by Jordon Kelly/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Alabama is likely to have four more first round picks as the closing exclamation point of Nick Saban’s career After 16 years, Nick Saban amassed an astounding 44 first round draft picks at Alabama, and if you don’t count that 2007 year when he was taking over a floundering team, that’s an average of 3 first rounders per year... For nearly two decades straight. Alabama has been a staple of the first round of the NFL Draft ever since Andre Smith went to the Bengals, and in 2024, Saban will finish off his run with (most likely) four more pick ..read more

Photo by Ryan Kang/Getty Images I’ll put that on my mama and my dead homies. Arnold or Kool-Aid, that has been the raging debate this offseason between which of Alabama’s two outstanding corners fans would draft as a GM. If Terrion Arnold is the flashy supercar, the one that wows you with excitement but that may get stuck in your driveway at times, then Kool-Aid is the 1974 Fleetside with 600,000 miles on it: Reliable as they come, simply will not let you down, and you know you’ll still have it a decade later. Only your tolerance for risk and FOMO can decide which is the player for you, but if ..read more

Photo by Matthew Visinsky/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Lord, we hope so. It will end a lot of whining, make for better viewing, and the SEC/Big 10 rightly come across as the villains here. If there was any hair-on-fire position of need for the Crimson Tide after Spring Ball, it is without doubt at corner. But quality players with big-time potential and talent are in short supply. Fortunately, one just opened up yesterday, when ND’s Micah Bell entered the ‘Hole. Bell is a nickel corner who had been forced to the outside after injuries and defections in South Bend this spring. As a result he ..read more
