I was being sarcastic like I said in my previous post. I'll play along though, none of the guys that you've mentioned have been world beaters as pros. Dareus had a nice start, but has failed to produce as of late. He really looks below his billing when Kyle Williams has been hurt as well. The rookies can't be judged right now so Reed and Robinson get passes. Upshaw was never a true down lineman school or pros, so he's disqualified. Dial was a spot holder until the 49ers top draft pick caught on to the defensive scheme and Gilberry/Anderson...really??? I'd take Allen all day, Lacey, Julio, and Cooper are the best of show so far for Alabama pros. I'd also take either one of those guys on my team in a heartbeat.

Well that's not true. He played with his hand in the dirt 95% of the time at Alabama. Played defensive end in Baltimore, and plays defensive tackle in Atlanta

Dial has been a starter for 2 1/2 years now, and currently starts on the end opposite armstead, so wrong again.

Anderson had 12 sacks in his rookie season. Gilberry has played in 14 or more games for 7 seasons. Not world beaters, but you don't do that in the NFL by being a scrub.

There's quite a few Alabama players doing very well in the pros outside of these guys. Dont'a Hightower, CJ Mosley, Landon Collins, Clinton-Dix, Jalston Fowler...don't let a good bias get in the way of reality though
