OJ is no sure thing. One season and he was never gonna learn the full route tree nor have prolific numbers in a Nick Saban offense...

With Bama players it's definitely a 50-50 boom or bust...

Look at last year's draft, we were talking about two D-linemen going in the Top 15 and they were lucky they got picked by the end of the second round...

Nick's got a proven system for Nick and Bama's success, not necessarily developing NFL prospects, Bama's NFL prospects were NFL prospects before they stepped foot on campus...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

IDK JP,

Over the last few years, I've seen quite a few Bama players make an impact at the elite level. Specifically on defense.

I think that's what he was saying. All or nothing. For every one that makes elite impact there is one that was supposed to make that sort of impact but fizzled out. No way to tell until they are under fire in the league.

I totally disagree about OJ not being a sure thing with the type of O Payton has set up. He becomes an immediate red zone threat and can due it all, block, catch , runs good routes, has speed and has size. Perfect compliment for the O if you ask me.Fleener and his contract could be history next season with this pick at #11 and the O becomes a quick strike O again and in the 3rd go after Mixon and it's a O that is feared again. I also would take the Ole Miss qb. in the 5th to groom.
