4 draftees in the first round and 3 in the rounds after that. Great showing. Very excited to see one of our own in Hightower playing for my favorite Pats now.

Good for him. I always had high hopes for him at Alabama but sometimes it just isn't meant to be.
I loved his enthusiasm right after he committed. He tried to help the coaching staff recruit other players. Best of luck at UVA.

Not a huge fan of taking T-Rich because we still have no WRs.
However can someone tell me something about Smelley?

How can you possibly not be a fan of Richardson? The Dawg Pound is going to love him so much it will hurt. Notice how jealous Jim Brown got about the pick (what a bitter dooshbag BTW) Picking Weeden was the wrong move when you could've either drafted a WR or traded back some and drafted a WR. Neither Blackmon or Floyd are quite near Richardson's class anyway. He's going to be a star for you guys.
Smelley has great hands, high football IQ, and a willingness to get dirty. The only ? mark is will he be able to physically handle the competition. I wouldn't underestimate his ability to make the squad altho I'm not sure how deep you guys are at TE.

Smelleys only true competition to make the roster is Alex Smith (the TE). Incredible how many Bama players will be in the NFL next year.

I'm excited to see what we get out of Christion Jones. I just loved what I saw from him on the punt returns in the title game. He wasn't easy to bring down and he stepped in a huge spot as a freshman.

Alright, don't want to stay in here too long since I just showered and don't want to take another so soon, but can you give me the goodies on Vlachos? I'm secretly hoping he gets rid of Amano.

The only true knock on him is size but he has exceptional technique and it wouldn't surprise me if he bumps Amano.

Did you see the TD catch he made in the A-Day Game (2:02)? The best hands for a WR we've had in years including Julio. The kid is going to beast for us.

What a catch. I'm excited about this kid. I feel like he can live up to wearing 22 in crimson.
McCarron is going to have some nice targets next season.

I just wanted to say how awesome it feels to be a fan of the team that has 2 of the last 3 national championships.
Roll Tide.

When Bama wins, can they cut Holgorsen's mullet off?
