No, he really didn’t by DBCooper

Not more than one at a time at least. But frankly, no one may ever have.

Alabama has had 3 first round WR picks since 2011, Jones in 11, Amari Cooper in 15, and Ridley in 2018. Jones and Cooper are certainly as good as any recent Bama WR but I’m not sure Ridley would be considered as strong an NFL prospect. Ridley was the main guy when Jeudy, Ruggs and Smith were freshmen but they didn’t play much. The last 3 years for Bama WRs has been insane in the talent level. Hell, the least effective of the 4 WRs might end up being the best pro (Waddle). All 4 top 20 picks (most likely after Smith and Waddle drafted next month). Not sure this type of talent at one skill position has been equaled in a very long time outside of maybe LSU WRs in 19. It’s early 2000s Miami RBs type talent level.

This is not an apology for Kelly in any way, more proof of the intelligence of Saban. You have 4 super talented WRs, change your offense a bit to utilize them more and exploit the talent differential. But 90% of NFL teams do not have the overall talent at WRs as Bama did with Jeudy, Smith, Ruggs, and Waddle. It’s quite remarkable.
