Boy, you need to put money on this, you will win a fortune. Odd's are a lot of that WILL NOT happen. Less than 1% of all college athletes make it to the n.f.l.

I think people need to move on from them. LSU will be fine w/o them. We are going to find quality line backers. The key to defense is defensive line. I will trade getting Wilson over these two any day and twice on sunday. When you dominate the line of scrimmage, you win. When we had Nevis, Francois, Dorsey, brocker, mingo, etc causing havoc, no one had to worry about the linebackers.

At LSU it's > 25%, I'm sure bama is similar.

And that % is just drafted. Much higher if we include making it into an NFL camp

Agree with this. When we didn't though you saw the difference a beckwith in the middle made, works both ways. But like you said our Dline should be like old times
