    I'm pretty sure Conklin might have a shot.


    Edit: you said "tonight". I'm going with Henry.

    That all depends on what they actually do with Dodd but at least both he and Johnson are likely. It's not like we had a starting NT to begin with and if Dodd starts opposite Casey that allows Morgan and Orakpo off the edges... Murray is likely the starter at RB BUT Henry is going to get plenty of work. It's a good pick and as I pointed out a while back will extend Murray's career having a guy like Henry pounding defenses and splitting carries and keeping both backs fresh.

    That's what I said "Taking out the trash." Another fun fact to think about as well is that we have the first pick of the waver wires this year, so we are in play for many decent players who get caught up in the numbers game in training camp. That may include some of the very players were a not drafting today. Hmmmm

    16 catches in his entire career. Every other starting RB at Bama from Ingram to Yeldon all were considerably more involved in the passing game than Henry. Anyone can look good at a proday.

    ok scat back wasn't the right word for Marshall but the kid runs a 4.3 so change of pace back if that makes you guys feel better.
