Upshaw was never a true down lineman school or pros

Obviously you don't know much about being a Rush linebacker or the infamous nick saban "jack lb position". The guy has been listed as a linebacker for his last 3 team's collegiate and professional.

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

---

So dial starting because of injuries the last two years means that he "earned" his spot as a starter? I follow the niners so let's not go there. He's a spot holder dude, they are drafting for starters, if it weren't for Ian Williams and Dorsey's injuries he'd be coming off of the bench.

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.

Anderson looked like something special and lost the fire afterwards, Gilberry is even worse than using Anderson as an example of productivity from Alabama dlinemen.

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

I'll give you Hightower and Mosely is coming around. The rest of those guys are still question marks. I'll always root for Louisiana boys in the PROS though (Lacey and Landon Collins)
