From the Bama experts at the rant.. Sunshine Crew

Defense update through 5 practices...
Remember that it is early and things change daily in the spring. The defense is more set than offense as you know.
The truth...The DL is loaded with depth. There is lots of rotation as they are all very good. Phil Mathis is out for spring so First team A is Justin Eboigbe, DJ Dale, and Byron Young. First team B is LaBryan Ray, Tim Smith, and Stephon Wynn. I expect all of these players to play a ton during the season. Second team is Jah-Marlon Latham, Monkell Goodwine, and Jamil Burroughs. Goodwine is a great addition during spring.
The truth... This could be our best LB group in the last few years and with depth. The outside LBs might be both All Americans with first team Will Anderson and Chris Allen. Second team is Drew Sanders and King Mwikuta. Third team is Chris Braswell and Christian Johnson. Third Team moves a ton so don't focus on it; Parks and Q Robinson getting lots of reps. A look at inside LBs are first team Christian Harris and Jaylen Moody. Second team Shane Lee and Demouy Kennedy. Third team are two stud freshman Deontae Lawson and Ian Jackson.
The Truth... First team Corners are Josh Jobe and Jalyn Armour-Davis. Second team corners are Ronald Williams and Brandon Turnage. But Ga'Quincey McKinstry is getting lots of reps as well as Marcus Banks. Corner is still wide open. Safeties are fantastic with First team Jordan Battle and DeMarco Hellams. Second team is Kristian Story and Daniel Wright. Star first team is Brian Branch who started our last two games and looks great. Second team is Jahquez Robinson. Malachi Moore is still out with injury and not expected to play this spring.
