I believe that until this last draft, we were ahead of Bama and had been for like 20 years, no? They will no doubt surge further ahead after this upcoming draft class.
Take away the '12 class, and Auburn has 24 and Bama has 22.
Not sure how many Auburn and Bama players retired or got cut after the '11 season, but Heath Evans, Lee Ziemba, and Darvin Adams come to mind immediately.
