I feel like if they can resign Breeland they should look fairly good at CB. That's 3 starter level guys (King, Alexander, Breeland), though all 3 with injury concerns so maybe they'll be lucky to get 2 player's worth of games out of the 3. Then a few developmental guys like Jackson and the UDFA, Tony brown. There's Natrell Jamerson currently on the roster too, he was a 5th round pick in 2018, don't know anything about him. + Maybe another draft pick, UDFA guys or a depth level FA signing and corner could be a strength going into training camp.

Safety looks pretty horrid at the moment though. Williams will probably work in a pinch for another year but realistically they need two starters there.

So far he hasn't... and normally Nick Saban does a great job teaching up his DBs... where Shields sorta had an excuse, playing WR until maybe his last year and reportedly his college coach didn't watch film with him to help him improve).

Brown scored under a 50 with PFF, so he might still be struggling with coverage. Jackson scored a 60.4 which is average and ranked 93rd CB grade.

Re Tony Brown, Beast queried, then opined

[list=1]
  • 5 years ago I might have agreed with that generalization, but if the last 2 years are any indication, their guys have been getting torched in big games, despite superior pass rush.
  • The last Alabama DB we had in here never lived up to the hype, IMO[*]Some guys just take longer to figure it out.[*]The argument about draft position could be said about any UDFA[/list]
  • And thanks to the tutorial by Beast, I know have a beautiful numbered list!!!!!

    Josh Jackson had an extremely solid last 5 games of the season by the way, according to PFF. He's developing.

    Yeah this year is a bit odd with the elite players (say top 20) seemingly being more defense than offensive especially on the line front.

    Where the Edge and DT seems very strong and OL fairly weak. So for the #12 spot I wouldn't be surprised if it was defensive front Edge, DT or DB.

    I think Safety is a HUGE need as well (especially FS), because this defense is about being able to high risk coverage and right now we just have soon to be 36 year old Tramon Williams... and that's about it at Safety, and Williams is in a contract year just like Bulaga.

    Got to watch DL as well since both Daniels and Lowry will be in contact years also.

    So my top would be a tie with Edge and FS, followed by OL, then DL and TE rounding it out.

I'd rather address the safety issue in FA. with some help in the draft (early day 3 if they don't grab one earlier which I wouldn't complain about either (Adderley or Thompson? The last Adderley we had was pretty good and they have some of the same blood running through their veins)

    If we can get a starting guard and a starting safety in FA plus some a solid rotational edge or D lineman and Oline depth I'd be happy.
