I haven't missed watching a Bama game in probably six years. I bleed Crimson on Sat and Green on Sunday. I don't care about his injury history. Kid is a beast. It's football. Injuries happen.

The additions of Harris and Wilson at S and LB make those positions less of a need for this year. Still want to see 1-2 CBs, and 1-2 Edge rushers drafted. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s all there is to it. Neither are deniable. So you can choose to focus on one or the other. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am simply concerned that with the team needs they invested a 2nd round pick, again, on a player with an injury history. I hope I am proven wrong but history has a way of repeating itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsdarkstar Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Rimington Trophy winner Dickerson is the reigning winner of the Rimington Trophy, given to the best center in college football. The Alabama offensive line surrendered just nine sacks while quarterback Mac Jones was on the field (.75 per game, ranked sixth in the nation).Per Pro Football Focus, Dickerson had the highest WAR (wins above replacement) rating of any offensive lineman in college football in 2020.Dominant in pass block How good was Dickerson in his college career? He allowed just one sack in 825 pass-blocking snaps from 2018 to 2020, or allowed a sack just 0.12% of the time. Wasn't hard to find out why Dickerson was a unanimous All-American last season and a first-team All-SEC selection. Tough as nails Never question Dickerson's toughness. Dickerson suffered a torn ACL in the SEC Championship but was able to take the final snaps in Alabama's national title game victory against Ohio State, less than a month later. Of course his injury history is a concern after he tore the ACL in his right knee as a freshman at Florida State and suffered season-ending ankle injuries his sophomore and junior years for the Seminoles. The torn ACL in his left knee as a graduate transfer was the fourth major injury in five years for Dickerson. He'll play through pain regardless.

eaglesfan0075 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 I'm putting this pick in the Sidney Jones category in terms of talent to injury risk ratio. Don't forget Jones was in the running to be an early 1st round pick, possibly the best CB that year, but we got burned on that gamble. I love Dickerson as a player, just not loving the injury risk with him given our luck/training staff. However, his NFL career is just getting started, and we need to give this guy the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise. Side note, he should take #69 from Matt Pryor haha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sturm Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Mix feelings about the pick, not hating it but not in love either. Same feeling like Sidney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kentwo Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 Basically our Oline's problem was staying healthy last year, so they draft a guy with major injury history? Like his talent, but the risk reward here is pretty dubious. Interesting to see his playing style. Kelce and Dickerson have totally different playing styles. Let's see how he integrates into center. Until then, at least the Eagles have a backup OG for Brooks when he gets hurt. Then have Herbig as a back back up OG for Dickerson when he gets hurt.

Freedom 76 Posted May 1, 2021 Share Posted May 1, 2021 NOTW, you're quite the optimist. Give him credit for trading ahead of the Giants and landing the best receiver in the draft. Unfortunately he had to trade with the Boyz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
