What about Alabama's other S. Had 8 picks last season. I think he plays FS. Forgot his damn name.

lester...my grade on him is incomplete right now...but i do like me some barron i know that
anyways...if jones or clemons don't pan out let me throw in the name mark barron of alabama in the draft...i think he'd make a nice 2nd round pick...not sure yet though if i like him more strong or free
He's a strong safety. Tremendous ball skills/instincts.... terrific range... very, very, very physical....fantastic blitzer... smart player who has mastered Saban's complex secondary responsibilities. Doesn't miss tackles, and brings a wallop that ball carriers never forget when they meet #4. He's a little stiff and lumbering in his backpedal... he's not an Eric Berry or Earl Thomas when it comes to matching up one-on-one with quick/slot receivers.
Barron has an extremely high football IQ and leadership qualities in spades. If you want to see how much he means to Bama's defense, just watch the 2nd half of the Auburn game last year after he left with a torn pec.
Robert Lester is the free safety... this guy comes out of nowhere like it's nothing to pick off passes almost every game. He's the guy that has that unique ability to bait quarterbacks into interceptions.
They make up the best safety tandem in the country, and both are no worse than 2nd rounders in my opinion.... if Lester decides to come out early.
i'm a little worried about barron in coverage...but i swear when i watched bama play penn st he was to my eyes the best player on that defense...i really like him...y bells replacement sounds good but do you think he can cover te's etc in the pros??? 6 ft 2 225 lb machine
I really believed this kids hype. Granted he is a rookie, I'm left less than impressed.
Jason Taylor appeared to straight up call Reshad Jones out with his "If you don't get it, get out of the way" comment which I believe was in an answer about Andre Johnson's answer touchdown after we scored that field goal to make it 16-13.
Remember the locker room wasn't happy with the staff having scapegoated Benny Sapp the way they did for the NE defensive performance, they know damn well Reshad Jones hung Sapp out to dry on that 99 yard TD which is what got Sapp fired. So now Reshad is responsible for another mental mistake that gets another corner Nolan Carroll roasted. I think some of those players are naturally going to displace some of the angst they feel about Sapp being treated unfairly, directly onto Reshad Jones.
Wait, what happened with Jason Taylor? I didn't see that in the game?
