šŸˆ Jerry Jeudy with a cryptic tweet. He's got news up his sleeve? I wonder what this is about.

How many defense players will return

Thank you , looks like we will be in good shape
 
Might as well do the offense too...

Two Deep Offense
QB: Tua Tagovailoa *, Mac Jones *
RB: Najee Harris *, Brian Robinson Jr. *
LT: Alex Leatherwood *, Scott Lashley *
LG: Evan Neal, Emil Ekiyor Jr.
C: Landon Dickerson *, Chris Owens *
RG: Deonte Brown *, Landon Dickerson *
RT: Jedrick Wills Jr. *, Matt Womack
WR: Henry Ruggs III *, John Metchie III
WR: DeVonta Smith *, Tyrell Shavers
WR: Jerry Jeudy */Jaylen Waddle, Slade Bolden
TE: Miller Forristall *, Major Tennison/Jahleel Billingsley

BOLD = senior
* = draft eligible junior

Literally just one senior on the two deep but practically the entire group is draft-eligible juniors save for a few. It's safe to bet that Tua, Najee, Leatherwood, Wills, Ruggs, Smith and Jeudy are gone. Dickerson being a possibility there, too. If all of those guys go you're effectively replacing around 90% of the offensive production and 3/5 of the offensive line. Yikes.
 
Draft eligible & seniors ...
Curiosity got the best of me and ended with my spending time looking at the percentage of starters lost due to injury this season In the middle of that I started casually counting how many we might see in the NFL draft in five months.

I lost track of the number but know it was around 15 players that I can see being drafted. What struck me is how many might be in the first three rounds. I could see as many as a third of those 15.

The talent around campus is still something to behold and come April's draft I suspect we're going to see several records broken for the number of players drafted—SEC, school, and national records being broken.

BUT, it's the NFL and the draft ... and I know little about either as a casual fan of both.

The Tide will be hit harder this season with the draft than any year previous (from a numbers standpoint.)

It's funny to me seeing those who assert this team can't have success in the playoffs and then see a list of names that will be drafted. Of course, can and will being two completely different things, ya know?
