There's college talent and there's professional talent. Apples and oranges. The SEC recruits a lot of good talent and several of those schools develop it to a high college level. However, those boys enter the pros and they're just as lost as everyone else without good coaches bringing them up to pro speed.

Gurley. And then go look at Gordon.

When we're talking about first year success and getting better the next year the SEC has done it better than anyone. I'm not saying anyone in the SEC, stay away from SEC teams that give u points for defense and stay away from system offenses. Are you saying AJ, Jones, Gurley were developed. Saban develops players. Also look at the kids in California today and look at them in the south. The kids out west need all the coaching and help they can get while those in the south work hard. When was the last time anything was successful from usc? I told everyone about Lee and Agholor. Neither have done anything significant. Strong? Where is he? Why is he not starting in Houston? top talent wants to play in the SEC because of the atmosphere and acceptance. You have to think about stuff like this to factor where heart wants to be at.

(1) - acquire more talent through the draft. I would only look at trades if it involves us getting another draft pick.

At this point we need to come to grips with who we are and start building exclusively through the draft going forward.

Get Anthony some help. Dude will never fulfill his potential if he keeps playing alongside Hawthorne, Humber and fragile Ellerbe...

And who was it that said not sold on Nkdemevich? He plays in the SEC.

Look when the combine happens you watch and see where the SEC guys end up compared to other conferences' players.

The best damn cornerbacks, safeties and defensive lineman in the draft. We will need to pick up 1 or 2 offensive lineman and 1 or 2 wide receivers in FA. We also need to start the development of Brees' replacement

Have to build your lines first. We had a great OL and the meager DL fed off of it. Our lines are really bad. It could take a couple of years to solidify one side. I think OL is the way to go. DL, more prone to injuries. We don't build lines, just patch holes. This ship is barely afloat.
