Visit to Alabama can be one-stop shopping for NFL scouts

Rule No. 1 in scouting: Go where the talent is.

Alabama makes life simple for the scouting business, with coach Nick Saban turning Tuscaloosa into a developmental camp of sorts for the NFL.

The Crimson Tide led all teams last April with four first-round picks. Defensive lineman Marcell Dareus went to the Bills at No. 3 overall and the Falcons traded up to land wide receiver Julio Jones with the sixth pick. The Seahawks selected offensive tackle James Carpenter at No. 25; three selections later, the Saints traded back into the first round to nab 2009 Heisman Trophy-winning running back Mark Ingram.

That might make this statement a bit astounding: No program returns a more talented roster in 2011 than the Crimson Tide.

NFLDraftScout.com currently rates seven of Alabama's senior prospects as having a draftable grade, led by defensive tackle Josh Chapman, linebacker Courtney Upshaw and safety Mark Barron. All three enter the season as candidates to go among the first 50 picks of the 2012 draft.

Josh Chapman has been under the radar for a couple of years now.  He's a talent, just not as dominating as Mount Cody; hopefully he'll be a good mentor for Jesse Williams.

With the Pro Scouts openly praising CNS and his staff as they are, this is a huge plus for Bama's recruiting. I wonder what the Barn's comeback for this will be.

Great publicity for The Crimson Tide. I hope all blue chippers see article.
