heres another vid with Saban explaining another of his elite abilities. His ability to avoid blocks when needed and to stack and shed when needed as well. Talks about how rare it is to get a defender that can do both consistently....

McClain is the pick.


Your last statement should be thrown into a burning AIDS tree. The very thought of a player like McClain going there makes me want to drink antifreeze.

LMAO.

With Berry on the board? Oh, yeah...LMAO.

LOL I was assuming he would be gone.

OL will lead to a epic meltdown, if we draft fatass from Bama it will lead to meltdown, Clausen=meltdown.


McClain= excited, but not super excited and definately not disappointed.




Combine and workouts are coming up, so a lot will happen to shuffle things around.

Hopefully Mays and Spikes have problems at the Combine that will drop them to the second round where we are waiting.

As for the first, I won't be mad if we take Berry, McClain, or Clausen.

I will melt down ala Terminator Judgement Day if we take either of the two players from O-State.

Clausen should not lead to a meltdown.

Probably just from the True Fans, but they'll only throw daisies at their monitors, so no worries there.

I would approach the Clausen pick with cautious optimism. I really like Clausen. I just dont' want him to be drafted because Charlie Weis biased the decision.

But, by being true fans, their warm, loving homerism will surround Clausen with hugs of goodwill and blind support.


Worlds will collide!!!!!

When you have 5 win teams that run for 384 yards on you at home, on the legs of their reserve running back, and teams dont have to pass on you at all to win, a Ray Lewis prospect is a better pick than a Ed Reed one.

This class at least has elite talent at the top that fits our needs with elite prospects. Picking Okung would likely bring me to tears inside.

Because safeties being out of position never lead to long runs.

Between the two, I'll take the playmaker. But McClain is definitely a good prospect.

He's NOT, however, the type of prospect you rarely see, which Berry definitely is.

I agree. Our front seven needs to be fixed before we worry about the back end of our D. That said a Berry pick wouldn't upset me.


PhilFree:arrow:

You think McClain is the type of linebacker that comes out every year and that he isnt a rare prospect?

I disagree, if that is truly what you think.

He's not the type that can be talked about as a "once-in-a-decade" prospect (though I think much of that stuff gets overblown).

He's a solid, promising prospect who would never have a chance of going top 5 in a better draft class.

Jesus Curry was the prospect of the decade last decade. We can proclaim McClain as the prospect of this decade. :)

If you want a Safety who can stop the run, Berry isn't your guy.
