Michael Williams to the Detroit Lions.  #9 for Bama~

Michael Williams was taken by the Loins with the 5th pick in the 7th round. He was 211 overall.

I'm just now catching up. Anything on Lester?

[lstephen]

I'm not sure what this is.  Sour grapes, maybe?  So BOTH of Notre Dame's safeties that got eaten up in the NC game by BAMA's offense get drafted and Robert Lester DOESN'T?  I mean, they couldn't defend the pass OR the run!

Tinker signed a FA deal with the Jags.

I expect Square, Lester, and Shelley to get FA deals as well.

Lester was an unknown in HS. People started to notice him while they recruited Julio. Bama was lucky to sign him. After he sat out a redshirt year all he did was play special teams as a freshman and start at free safety for the best defensive coach and team in the NCAA for three years.

He did not impress anyone at the combine or in his workouts. He was slow by NFL standards. As a free agent the NFL will soon find out what we have known for awhile. Lester has a nose for the football and he is a sure tackler. He is always in position. I think he will make a team roster and be in the league for many years. Simply put he is a player.

My thoughts exactly! Teams are going to be mad he got away.

Jimbo Fisher is in trouble next year after losing 11 players to the draft. Plus, look how far Texas has fallen with 3 picks. How much longer is Mack Brown gonna hang around?

Yeah, he may not have flatout speed, but he makes up for it by football smarts, being in the right place.  Some people have suggested that you may be better off being a free agent than getting drafted in the late rounds.  You have more versatility to choose a team.

The SEC had 63 players drafted, a record number for a conference. Another confirmation of the domination of SEC football.

Jimbo Fischer will not be able to reload as we do year after year. I really don't see that big time chart to win a National Championship. Great job guys. I see the 63 players that Marshall Dillon posted. Now everybody should be able to see why there is always one loss in the SEC. RTR!

[Hannibal Lecter, MD]

Jimbo will be able to recruit/restock good players year after year at FSU.  He will not be able to do what CNS does with those level players though.

[Catch Prothro]

I was very surprised to see EJ Manuel go so high in the draft.  Is that talent undeveloped, or an NFL overreach?

Saban does better talent scouting than the services, and then does a phenomenal job developing that talent.  Take Chance Warmack, a three star recruit out of HS, becomes a first round draft pick, or Kareem Jackson, who committed to Vandy without high level program offers, until Saban took over the Tide and picked him up.  So yeah, Saban gets athletes other scouts notice, but also gets the less hyped athletes that might need a bit of work on fundamentals and then turns them into top picks.

[SUPERCOACH]

There is an article down in WALL-E World that quotes CNS talking about the fact that all 12 guys who left the program this year where either drafted or signed as free agents.  There were 9 seniors and 3 guys who left early.  100% of them have an opportunity to play in the NFL.  Has that ever happened before?  You can't do better than 100%.  That should get some attention on the recruiting trail.
