[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 977224, member: 2426"] I don't think those teams have lost anything with their starters. It is the depth that the articles I read were discussing. Several years ago in the championship game, Jalen Hurts wasn't effective in the first half. Saban decided to replace him with Tua Tagovailoa after the half. They had a QB starter who was selected in the second round. His backup was selected #5 overall in the draft. Hurts transferred out because he graduated and was able to get immediate eligibility. Now, a potential draft player can transfer out at any time if he sees that he isn't likely to be the starter. He doesn't have to wait until he graduates. It isn't that Alabama won't be able to get NFL draft level players. It just appears that they will have issues hanging onto NFL draft level players for more than a year buried in the depth chart. They can pull in good players from lower level teams, but the only reason they need to is that they don't have the next guy up waiting on the bench any longer. [/QUOTE]
