Excellent analysis by position, starting with QBs.  Good article.

QBs: It’s unlikely all four scholarshipped quarterbacks will remain on the roster heading into the 2023 season, just because that’s the way things work in a limitless transfer environment. The most likely scenario is for Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson to fight it out in spring ball, with the loser of the QB battle transferring elsewhere over summer camp. A lot of things currently unknown will go into that, most important being who Alabama taps to be its offensive coordinator next year. If Alabama retains Bill O’Brien, or hires a similarly-minded coach, the style of play would seem to favor Ty Simpson, while an offensive coordinator that utilizes more zone and RPO concepts – think former Bama OC and current Maryland head coach Mike Locksley, or former Florida and Mississippi State head coach Dan Mullen – would play more to Milroe’s strengths...

I wouldn't mind having Mullen as the OC.

Mullen is a good OC but he stinks as a HC. RTR!

Oooff...that OL is thin and unproven outside of a couple guys.

Other than the JUCO guy, the LB signees are on the slow side, it appears.
