🏈 Bama dudes moving up big board

[Tidestalker]

I know way too early.... Bye week though

Kiper moved Damian Harris, Payne, and Rashaan Evans into his top 25 this week. They join Minkah Fitz and Ronnie Harrison and Calvin Ridley.

Kiper's 2018 Big Board: The new No. 1 prospect is ...
(insider)

4. Minkah Fitz
15. Calvin Ridley
18. Damian Harris
20. Rashaan Evans
23. Ronnie Harrison
24. Daron Payne (#1 DT)

Looking at this group... We say it every year but they'll be a b*tch to replace. Especially Minkah, Payne, and Evans. RTR

It will be interesting to see if next year is a rebuilding year or a reloading year. We will lose most of our defense. It will be a point of uncertainty that will probably be talked about Ad nauseam throughout the summer. Not because the backups aren't good, but because they wouldn't have many starts or playing time.

Yep. Can guys like Mack Wilson be elite or just solid? Replacing both SDH and Evans is a huge worry for me.

We basically lose our top 4 cover guys (Minkah, AA, Walace, Brown).

There is a chance we could lose all 3 DL's (If Buggs continues to improve). Frazier has been really good this year too.. Lots of beef to replace

The 1 position I'm not near as worried about is WR. Losing Ridley sucks but those 3 freshman are primed to take over... Losing Sims and Foster won't be a problem.

Harris has been amazing this year but I suspect that if Josh Jacobs is healthy next year, he will be a tremendous weapon. Along with Harris and Robinson they'll be an elite group

The offense should be The King in 2018 and perhaps the DL/OLB will be ok as well. The secondary looks to be the Big concern. I believe #14 will become a really good player at safety....now you guys come up with the other 5.

As Jalen continues to mature, if Saban sees in the spring that our D might not be top 5 like we're accustomed to seeing, he may just turn Daboll loose in the fall to allow the O to carry the team.

Rashaan Evans jumped up to #10 on the big board. Wow. Ridley still at #15, the others fell out of his top 25

I know it doesn't really matter but good interesting to follow.
