Quote:The college game is murdering the LT position in the NFL. The days of having that franchise guy are over. Looking for him is nothing but a snipe hunt. 20 years ago Tunsil would have been a 3rd round pick. Today, he's the top tackle on the board. Joekel isn't going anywhere. He is serviceable in today's game. We do need better depth and I'd be surprised if the front office doesn't address that.

Very true. The tail is now wagging the dog, unfortunately.

Fundamentals sour at key positions (OL, TE as just a couple examples) as college coaches line up the best athletes at skill positions and let them play basketball on turf.

That's why I applaud coaches like Saban for staying closer to traditional football. Line up, and smash the other team in the mouth in the trenches. Easier said than done, but that's the luxury coaches like Saban have, as they have been able to pull in the best talent to implement whatever they desire.
