Copied and pasted from the community rosters thread:
First and foremost, thanks for all the hard work with the rosters. I seriously can not thank you enough. Alabama looks really good but there are a few problems and I also have a few suggestions. Feel free to make all, part of, or none of these changes or verify the info with any other Bama fans. Also, these can, and probably should, wait until after the first draft of the rosters are finished. Or if not, I can just make these changes on my own, no worries.
HB:
#34 Jeramie Griffin will likely never see the field. Eddie Lacy is far and away #3 on the depth chart and Goode will play if there is an injury to the starting three. I would suggest moving Griffin to FB so you can move Jolston Fowler to his actual position.
WR:
I’ll do these last since they are kinda subjective. It is technically fine as is, but there is a emphasis on including wrs that won’t play.
TE:
I would greatly suggest adding True Freshman Brian Vogler. He is 6’7, 4stars, and from Georgia. He could challenge for the backup TE spot if he comes in ready to play.

OLB:
I think ROLB #34 was supposed to be Alfy Hill. #19 was jonathan atchinson and he’s now gone (off the community roster), but that’s OK. Alfy needs to be switched to the other OLB position behind Upshaw and Stinson.
MLB:
Jolston Fowler has made the most noise this summer. Right now he is at fullback but he needs to be a MLB. Out of all the true freshman, he is supposedly the biggest “freak of nature” of the bunch. If nothing else, I highly suggest moving Fowler.

Chris Jordan is the currently projected starter at the MLB spot next to Hightower. Right now he is at the bottom of your rankings and depth chart.
FS:
It looks like you guys just changed the skin of Robbie Green to Wesley Neighbors and left the stats the same. I agree with the other poster in that you should change Neighbors back to green and just put him lower on the depth chart. Green in still on the team and still very very good. He is just suspended all of next season. For people running dynasties with these rosters, Green will definitely be a factor next season.
Rod Woodson should be moved to FS. He and Lester are battling it out for the starting spot opposite Barron.
True FS Jarrick Williams will likely play linebacker but the move isn’t official yet. Regardless, athlete Blake Sims (surprisingly) just qualified and will get a shot at Free Safety this fall. Sims, 4Star ath, was one of the biggest steals of the class. He played QB in Hs and was recruited by spread schools at QB and by most schools at slot WR. However, Saban is putting him on the D at one of our biggest holes. I suggest changing Williams to Sims.

And now for WR. Again, these are just suggestions.
#82 Earl Alexander hasn’t (really) and probably never will never see the field. I suggest changing him to a different receiver who will/might play.
#11 Brandon Gibson might play, but he hasn’t been able to crack the starting rotation so far and Bama has signed a ton of 4star receivers the past few years who will (hopefully/probably) make an impact at some point. I suggest changing him to a different receiver who will/might play.
#81 Kendall Kelly is probably the least impressive of the 4stars over the past few years. He spent most of the spring at free safety and he has a bunch of receivers in his class and the latest class to beat out. I suggest changing him to a different receiver who will/might play.
To replace these three I would suggest the following. I ordered them by who I think it is most important to get in.:
#83 RS Fr Kevin Norwood. Former 4star. He has made the most noise last offseason and this offseason.

#7 RS Fr Kenny Bell. A speed, rather than possession receiver who had a solid spring.

#? True Freshman DeAndrew White. 4star Rivals 100. He is doing great in the summer workouts and has impressed but who knows when the pads come on. Another track star, so speed rather than possession.

I would change create 4star true Fr. Corey Grant. Here is Grant’s info:
http://rivals.yahoo.com/alabama/foot...juaNgg2tJnq5B4. Grant is the fastest player Bama has signed in recent memory and will play slot receiver at Bama, not RB.
Again, thanks for all the hard work.
