Will Saban ever have a first round pick at QB while at Bama?
Over the past 10 seasons, Saban has stockpiled talent at the capstone like never seen in the history of the sport. We’ve had 9 seasons of top 10 classes with most being top 3 and several number 1. For all the talent he has brought in, Saban has not hit a home run at the QB position yet. I’m talking about a top 5 draft pick that is a starter in the NFL. Saban’s best QB was a four star recruit who has spent his NFL career as a backup. Behind him there isn’t one guy in the NFL. Now, I realize what we’ve accomplished with the guys we’ve had. We’re winning at a historic level. I’m just trying to figure out how we’ve missed on the top talent at this position. Is this perhaps our weakest point of evaluation at the high school level? Or could it be our weakest point of development once they’re on campus. It’s strange that one of the greatest coaches of all time hasn't produced a big time QB. Can you imagine our offense this year with a QB like Andrew Luck or Watson. What do you guys think?
