		<description><![CDATA[Putting nine members of the same team into the same NFL draft class is no small feat – but it's one that Alabama might top in a year's time. Casting an eye towards the 2014 NFL Draft, Alabama fans might see as many as 14 or 15 Alabama players taken. A lot will be determined, obviously, by the junior seasons of some of Alabama's draft-eligible underclassmen. From the senior class alone, Alabama could see 8 players called to the podium.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The 2013 NFL Draft kicks off Thursday night, and as is becoming custom in the Nick Saban era, the phone lines between New York and Alabama might get a little busy. While picking draft landing spots is almost entirely guesswork – TideFans.com's success rate over the past few years is comical, to be honest – this still should give readers a rough estimate of the general round timeframe in which Alabama players are likely to go off the board. Here's the list of draft-eligible Crimson Tiders, and their potential landing spots]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As it often seems to be the case, A-Day 2013 turned more into a discussion of what Alabama has left to do than what it has already accomplished.

 

Several questions were left unanswered after a game that was, frankly, sloppy and a bit disorganized. Alabama turned the ball over eight times and two other fumbles were recovered by the offense, while quarterbacks appeared ready to throw into any coverage rather than take a two-hand-touch sack. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There is always a debate as to the importance of A-Day from the perspective of what translates and doesn't translate to the field in the fall. On one hand, both offenses and defenses are very vanilla. A good comparison would be postseason all-star games like the Senior Bowl, where, for the sake of simplicity in understanding, defenses are often limited to a certain combination of looks and coverages. The frenetic blitz packages designed by Nick Saban and defensive coordinator Kirby Smart rarely make an appearance in this game.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last three years, TideFans.com and NARCAS have taken a look back at old recruiting rankings, partially as a self-check, but also to see how players had progressed since arriving on campus. The mark of a “great” class, five years after the fact, is generally considered appropriate when between 55 to 60 percent of the class becomes a front-line contributor at some point over the course of their career (“front-line contributor” defined as being a starter, or a second-teamer with a key role).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the end, time – and health issues brought about by the march of it – was Mal Moore's inevitable enemy. In time, the nearly 60-year legacy of one of Alabama's most faithful servants may come to be fully appreciated. Moore remains under a doctor's care, in need of prayers and no longer Alabama's athletic director. One of Moore's former Alabama teammates, Bill Battle, has been tapped to replace him. Or, at least, succeed him.]]></description>
