I'm not interested in any of these guys - Turner, Latham, McKinstry, Arnold. They've all been non-existent in this game.

And still not interested in McCarthy. He's been solid, but I don't see him wing successful in the NFL.

I happen to agree with you . If Latham was around in the 4th round I would take a flier on him. I certainly hope that we do not make Turner our first round pick

Never judge a player on one game.

I'm not. Alabama has been a disappointment all year, despite the supposed huge talent gap between them and their opponents.

Defense was very suspect in loss to Texas. Offense looked terrible in only scoring 17 against South Florida. Squeaked by a bad Arkansas team by 3. And needed a miracle finish to beat a pedestrian Auburn squad.

These guys have been overrated all year.

They also beat Georgia which is no small task.

I actually like Dallas Turner quite a bit. I'm not sure there is a materially better defensive prospect in this draft.

That's not a very high bar being that this draft is VERY weak on the defensive side. But I'd take Laiatu Latu over Turner. He's bigger, stronger.

Turner is a lot younger, but I don't see that as a good thing. Turner's rookie contract will be half over before he starts to mature vs. Latu who can contribute immediately.
