Five defensive players who need to play well in Friday’s scrimmage

Five defensive players who need to play well in Alabama’s first scrimmage of the spring!

[autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team will hold its first scrimmage of the spring on Friday afternoon before having the weekend off for Easter.

Coach Saban and the Tide generally don’t allow much information to be released from the closed scrimmages but there are always some little hints sprinkled throughout Coach Saban’s comments afterward.

With the scrimmage just a few hours away, Roll Tide Wire thought it would be a good idea to look at five players from each side of the ball that need to step up and perform well in the first game-like situation of the spring.

Here are five players from the defense:

5 defensive storylines to follow as Alabama begins spring practice

Top storylines to follow on the defensive side of the ball as Nick Saban and the Alabama football team begin spring practice!

Last Monday, [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide football team began spring practice in Tuscaloosa.

Over the course of five weeks, Alabama will complete 14 practices and will conclude the spring activities with the annual A-Day Game on Saturday, April 22 from inside Bryant-Denny Stadium.

With each new season, position battles and question marks take center stage and 2023 will be no different.

Coach Saban not only has a lot of new faces on the roster, but a ton of new coaches will also be making their Alabama debuts in 2023.

As spring practice gets underway, let’s take a look a look some of the top storylines on each side of the ball. We have already looked at the offensive side of the ball, so now we will shift our focus to the defense.

Position Breakdown: Alabama’s DB’s ahead of spring practice

A deep dive into the Alabama defensive back room ahead of spring practice!

We are now less than a week away from [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama football team taking the practice field to begin spring ball.

As is the case each offseason, there are many questions that need to be answered before the Tide hit the field to start the 2023 season.

As spring practice creeps closer, we are going to break down each position group on both sides of the ball. We have already looked at the quarterbacks, running backs, defensive line, tight ends, outside linebackers, inside linebackers, and wide receivers.

Today we will wrap up the defensive side of the ball and take a dive into the Alabama defensive backs.

Let’s roll!

2023 NFL mock draft roundup: Eagles load up on dynamic talent to replace several key starters

Even with the Eagles set to play in the NFC Championship game this week’s 2023 NFL mock drafts have Philadelphia reloading with impact defenders

The Eagles are preparing for the NFC Championship Game on Sunday afternoon, but it’s never too early for a look ahead to the 2023 NFL Draft.

The player selection process will be centered around Philadelphia having multiple picks in round one.

Thanks to some draft night wizardry from Howie Roseman, the Eagles traded the No. 16 overall pick, No. 19 overall pick, and a 2022 sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for the No. 18 overall pick, a 2022 third-round pick, a 2022 seventh-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick.

We tracked the Eagles’ picks via Tankathon, and after New Orleans went 7-10, Philadelphia locked down a top-ten selection.

The mock drafts are starting to heat up, and we have the roundup for this weekend’s Championship action.

Even with the Eagles having the No. 1 overall seed in the NFC Playoffs, this week’s 2023 NFL mock drafts have Philadelphia reloading with impact defenders

The NFL regular season is complete with 14 teams in the playoffs, and as the Birds start their journey towards another Super Bowl, it is never too early for 2023 NFL draft conversations centered around Philadelphia having multiple picks in round one.

Thanks to some draft night wizardry from Howie Roseman, the Eagles traded the No. 16 overall pick, No. 19 overall pick, and a 2022 sixth-round pick to the New Orleans Saints for the No. 18 overall pick, a 2022 third-round pick, a 2022 seventh-round pick, a 2023 first-round pick, and a 2024 second-round pick.

8 Alabama players land inside the top 100 of latest 2023 NFL draft big board

A total of eight Alabama players land inside the top 100 of Tankathon’s 2023 NFL draft big board.

Now that Alabama’s football season has concluded, it is time to shift our focus to one of my favorite events each year, the NFL draft.

Despite not winning a championship, talent was not lacking on the Crimson Tide roster. Tankathon recently updated its 2023 NFL draft big board, and eight Alabama players landed inside the top 100.

The usual suspects of [autotag]Bryce Young[/autotag], [autotag]Will Anderson Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Brian Branch[/autotag] make an appearance, but you may find a couple of surprises rounding out the list.

Here is a complete list of all the Tide players included and where they rank according to Tankathon:

REPORT: Malachi Moore intends to return for senior season at Alabama

Malachi Moore makes a decision on his future with the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Shortly after Alabama took care of Kansas State in the Allstate Sugar Bowl, one of the Crimson Tide’s defensive backs announced his plans.

Malachi Moore, a rotation player in the Alabama defensive backfield, told reporters he plans to return to Alabama for his senior season.

If you remember, Moore was a standout defender during his true freshman season in 2020 when he collected 44 tackles and three interceptions.

Injuries plagued Moore during his sophomore campaign which allowed Brian Branch to emerge at the star position for the Alabama defense.

Moore returning for the 2023 season gives Alabama a massive boost in the backend that is set to lose Jordan Battle, DeMarcco Hellams and, most likely, Branch.
