This is something I've never seen discussed.

Back when the draft happened and we got our pick from KC in the 2nd round, Nick Saban was really hoping that CB Corey Webster would fall to us, but he got snatched by the Giants. He called Webster a "special" young man, and a "special" talent.

But Corey was gone, and we got the "Manimmal" Matt Roth. What I'm wondering is, assume Saban was right about Webster, and the guy would be really good. Would you rather have had Roth anyway?

I brought it up because I feel that if Saban got Webster, he might have been making a mistake. It's one thing to mine your own players from the lower portions of the draft, like Daniels, but IMO it is another to spend high picks on them. It sounded to me like Saban was too close to Webster to make an accurate judgement of his prospects as a pro.
 
i voted for roth NOW because i like all the stuff i read about daniels, even on draft day after i heard about all the stuff roth brings i´m happy we picked roth
 
True, I'd like to consider Daniels in the whole equation, but then again I'm not sure we should because we don't know who he would have picked in the 4th had he gotten Webster instead of Roth in the 2nd. I think he would have picked Channing in the 3rd no matter what, but what DEs were available in the 4th?
 
I went w/Roth. I think New England showed you can win with less than all-star caliber CB's. The trenches is where a game is decided, you can't have enough good d-linemen. Plus getting Daniels in the 4th was a bonus.
 
If we hadn't gotten Daniels in the 4th, maybe we would have gotten Chris Canty in the 4th, or a different position like Elton Brown, or Stefan LeFors.
 
I don't know if I agree with that, despite what New England showed. I think you need to have corners that are dangerous, now maybe even more than ever.

How was he too close to make an accurate judgement? Webster was rated very high by EVERYONE... Not just Saban proven by the fact that he was taken before we could get him. I dont know who I would rather have. With our need at CB and our depth at DE I might lean towards Webster... but then again, Roth is a special kinda player... Needless to say, I didnt vote hahaha

Nasty

Actually i remember seeing Roth on Kypers Top Ten list for a little. I could be wrong. However, this is kyper we're talking about, so take it for what its worth.
