How far does Mark Barron fall?

    I'm 100% on this WBF. He's not.

    I believe you, but it's hard enough to keep up with what your name is every month.

    They did, as expected. How you guys got in, especially over OSU and against precedent, is what has me confused.

    We're Alabama and they were OSU. Not much to be confused about. Notre Dane, OU, USC, etc woul have gotten the same love. It's what being us is all about.

  • With Nick Collins injury probably ending his career S has become a big need for GB. We've signed some DL so I think S or OLB would be our biggest need.

    TIGER's also funny.

    Sometimes he is, no doubt. He's stale a lot of the times too. Trolling all the time can only be funny for so long.

    I'm pretty tough to figure. Somedays I'm a neo-con, others a moderate. Christian some days, pagan the next.

    Howard just wants one of us to admit that we were wrong for thinking all 5 players would go in the first round and really aren't that much better than Auburn's players.

    Because the 42-14 score doesnt really matter; national coaches and media giving out accolades dont count; mock drafts based on scouts' assessments don't count.

    The only thing that matters is Howard's professional opinion.

    As Javy Arenas over Patrick Peterson and Barrett Jones over Kalil showed us, All-American teams and national awards don't always get it right.

    Barrett Jones is about to become one of the few (if any?) O-lineman to receive AA honors at all three line positions. lol

    But Barron doesn't possess the incredible "instincts" you just described. Especially in the passing game. He doesn't take the best angles either.

    Exactly. I've never gotten all this Barron love. He's good but not great.

    Cant argue the first,but screw the second. Those awards are about college not who is the better NFL prospect. BJ will be a 1st rounder next year anyways.

    Either way,it's the accumulation of all those things as a whole.

    It's cool to have one. It's impressive to have all three.

    This is exactly why the vast majority of your players suck at the next level, when they're forced to win battles on the field and they don't have media bias and perception to win battles for them.

    Congrats on another win with voter perception, Bama. It's pretty much your MO.

    He is THE best safety in the draft.

    Howard just needs to get over the butthurt.

    Even if our players don't piss gold like BOL thinks,they are still first-rounders and better than almost every auburn player.

    I agree. He is a very good tackler benefitting from a very slim year for safeties.

    There is not a single Bama player under Saban better than the two first rounders AU has had under Chizik. But that's why our players show up on the field AND at the combine.

    It's hard to take a good angle when one is SLOW.

  • Bama will put out more 1st rounders this year than AU will in the next 3 or 4 combined

    They certainly don't come to Auburn to get the "Saban bump", but to actually get ready for the next level. I will give you that.

    Congrats. You had a once-in-lifetime player come through and that is your measuring stick. That's dumb. That would be like me saying because we had Peyton Manning at our schoo,because none of your players are as good as him,they all suck.

    You are cherry-picking the measuring stick.

    Like Neiko Thorpe, AMIRITE? We have a pool going if you want in on it: Will Thorpe's Wonderlic score be higher or lower than his bench press numbers?

    In case you forgot, he put the bar up an astonishing 4 times. That's NFL ready right there.
