NFL Draft Time is right around the corner and nothing is heating more than the excitement from T-Town....Tuscaloosa, Alabama and Coach Nick Saban's Talent Pool in the 2012 NFL Draft.

There is a reason ALABAMA stays a top of the SEC, the nations toughest Division 1-A Football Conference, the talent Saban and his staff assemble in T-Town is 2nd to none. All-Americans, All-SEC, Top College Awards by Position like their 1st ever Doak Campbell Award Winner (given to the Nations Top Running Back) in RB Trent Richardson.

The Five Players Saban and his staff will be looking to get the call in the Green Room in NYC for the April 2012 Draft are:

RB Trent RICHARDSON has some Earl Campbell, Herschel Walker, and Ernest Byner in him

S Mark BARRON plays like former 'Bama S George Teague

CB Dre KIRKPATRICK plays like former 'Bama CB Antonio Langham

ILB Dont'a HIGHTOWER plays like current Steelers ILB LAWdawg Timmons and former "BAMA ILB Rolando McClain now a Raider

OLB/DE Courtney UPSHAW has some former 'Bama OLB's Cornelius Bennett and DeWayne Rudd..and UPSHAW is bigger and just as fast as both a reported 270 el bees for a OLB/DE Hybrid with that speed to boot....Illegal

Where are these players going possibly and who is a no doubt Top 10 Pick.....

The ONLY Top 10 Pick in this group is RB Richardson but to have 5 from the same team in the 1st Round is absolutely remarkable.

RB Richardson: could go to Browns at #4, Bucs at #5, or Rams at #6

S Barron: could go to Cowboys at #14 or Jets at #16

CB Kirkpatrick : could go to Bengals at #17 or Titans at #20

ILB Hightower : could go to Steelers at #24 or to Texans at #26

OLB/DE Upshaw : could go to Eagles at #15, Jets at #16, or even Bears at #19

The ONLY 2 players I could see possibly slipping out of the 1st round would be Hightower or Kirkpatrick but that is a real stretch with their talent and how they were coached in that Saban Pro-Style Attack.

Now your thought process is that 'Bama lost all that talent now will they fall off...the answer is NO ...as long as Saban is there and 'Bama has Division 1-A Football. The SEC and BCS National Championship Game is always on the Crimson Tide's mind....always
