Do you take Tua if he is there? Okudah over Simmons?

Has there ever been a successful NFL QB to come out of Alabama?

I could argue that CB is our biggest need.  Why should we not take Okudah?

Mainly because we were the worst* run D in the league.

* or bottom 5.

Okudah seems like a once in a generation talent.

If okudah is there he is the pick you don’t turn down a true shut down CB which happens to be our biggest need. More likely scenario is that tua will be there and you have to take him you don’t turn down a franchise qb even a rare lefty do tua would be my pick. Miami will pick Herbert and chargers pick the best OT that leaves tua in our lap something this front office never dreamed would happen that’s why they they were not looking for qb in the first cause they had no intention to trade up.

Do you think he's wrong?  I see Love as a 2nd round prospect

Love could go top 10 or top 50. Dude is an enigma.

If Tagovailoa were on the board and this team passed on him then everyone should be fired.

Ehh it depends on his medical checks. There’s a legit possibility Tua is out of the league before his rookie contract is up because his hip doesn’t hold up.

No and No

Thought about Stabler after the post---totally blanked about Starr.

You can ask the same question about Oregon and LSU

One of the best QB schools in the current NFL is NC State

Alabama is actually tied for first with Superbowl winning QBs with 3

I'd take Tua if this were Ghost in the Shell and he got a new body 

He needs a strong, big body like Cam for NFL longevity--no, wait....

Kidding--I laughed when I read this.

How many after Super Bowl 3?  (1)

First 3 super bowls 2 Bama QBs--

Without the injury to his hip, Tua is the #1 pick in this year's draft. If he falls to #7, then you HAVE to take him. Worst case he sits a FULL year - may be a non-issue due to COVID19, and comes back fully healthy. Heck, he could sit 2 years if necessary. That'd work perfectly with Teddy's contract. 

Always go BPA with a top 10 pick. You don't want to be the team that passes on Luke Kuechly because you have Jon Beason as the starter.

So what your're telling me is that they haven't produced a successful NFL QB since the 70's and only 1 post merger. That's a really solid track record.
