I am enjoying the last half of this season immensely. I am really optimistic about this team, since Saban righted the ship after the horrible Cleveland loss.
The glaring weaknesses on this team are run blocking, pass defending, and Quarterbacking. Yes, our receivers have dropped too many balls, but I can almost excuse them since guys like Chambers haven't been thrown to in 4 years (under the Wanny regime). That seems to be changing now.
Accepting this fact, I wanted to take a stab at a mock draft. I'm only interested in the first 4 rounds, because we lost a 5th (Wright) and 6th (Lemons).
Round 1 - Haloti Ngata, DT
Round 2 - Max Jean-Gilles, G/OT
Round 3 - Andrew Whitworth, T
Round 4 - Charlie Whitehurst, QB
I think we pick up defensive secondary, another receiver, and maybe outside linebacker through free agency.
