Especially some of Bennet’s scrambles  I now seriously wonder if he is that far above everyone else in the draft. We now get the SEC title game rematch. Neal for ‘Bama and Salyer for UGA. These two tackles look to be highlighted that nite as far as online prospects. Nacoby Dean played at a high level too. Alas, Williams sid not get to shine on the deep routes without Methcie driving the defense crazy from the slot. It honestly looked like a flip from DE to OT tonite for top pick

Was it that he was outmatched in this game or was it that the other OT's he has faced this season were way worse than people thought? Hutchinson was destroying OT's earlier in the year, but last night he kinda looked lethargic. Instead of trying to run around the OT, he was running directly at him showing very little technique. That wasn't the same same player I saw earlier in the season. 

Ahmad Gardner and Coby Bryant really improved their draft stock. They completely shut down the Alabama receivers, despite not having a pass rush. Too bad the run defense was completely non-existent for U.C. With all his injuries, I don't see Derek Stingley holding onto that #1 CB ranking. I believe Gardner will overtake him and be the first CB chosen in the draft. He's been my #1 CB all along. 

I would never take Neal #1 or even in the first round. I still think he's completely overrated. I'd take Salyer, if he was there at the top of round 2, Max Mitchell in round 3 and I'd add C/OG Nick Ford later in the draft. I'd be way more comfortable with them.
