Good point, I didn't consider that...
How many RBs can split out wide and be just as fast with as good or better hands than some of the best WRs... forcing the defense to cover the RB with someone in the secondary? Not many... but Ronnie Brown can.

the whole offense hasnt. Booker is a good compliment to Chambers. BY the way chambers with all that supposed talent hasnt cracked a 1000 Yrds..
So dont hammer booker when everybody on the offense stinks also...

If we stay at #2 and don't go QB then I agree that I think Edwards is a better choice than Brown, but not because he'll have a greater impact. It's because I'd rather have the combo of Edwards and Fason (or a few other 2-3 round backs) than the combo of Brown and any WR that will last past round 1. If I went strictly based on who is going to have a bigger impact then I'd choose Brown in a heartbeat.

Miami taking brown or smith or whatever will depend on multiple things. So you cant say he will flat out take brown with other teams wanting other players to move up. If Saban drafts according to BPA than it would be smith or Edwards than Brown.
We just dont know untill all the cards are layed out.
IMHO I think he will draft edwards just to trade down with Minn or whoever wants Edwards but then again you or I are not Saban...
You SAVY!

Man, Ricky must have posted his stash location on the net. HE IS NOT COMING BACK, DEAL WITH IT MMMKAY!
You can draft a WR in a later round, but you won't find a RB that can do what Brown do can in a later round.

It has to do with the #2 piclk, the contract that it requires, the short average lifespan of runners, how its easier to find a top runner later in the draft than it is a top receiver............value of the pick.

Yes if we trade down, not at number 2.

I never thought we would draft a RB with our No 2 pick despite the assertions of the draft experts.
I wouldnt discount drafting one of the top three RBs if we trade down to the 5-7 spot range but I think its more likely we would draft one in the second or third rounds.
IMO if Smith is not available we will trade down.We need several starters and there are a lot of good players that will be available later on.

It's likely the NFL Network guy is right. The reason has nothing to do with need. It is that a) teams don't like to draft a RB this high, b/c RB is an easier position to fill than several others (just look at Denver); b) There are a slew of decent RB's in this draft; c) Braylon Edwards is probably rated higher on most boards than Brown; and d) We do need a WR.
I completely disagree that we are set at WR! Booker is not a deep threat and cannot take double teams away from Chambers. You can't look at Booker's stats at Chicago and think we have a good tandem. We need another game braking playmaker at WR. Booker is not. He is an adequate possession guy, but does not scare anyone. If Edwards reaches his potential, that tandem of Edwards and Chambers would be deadly. It is especially important if we use a lot of 3 WR sets like Minnesota did.
We do have a significant need at RB and if we can trade down, probably will take a RB. But, if we can't, taking Edwards at #2, we still have a good shot at a RB later on.

I have a feeling that Williams is going to make some people sorry they didn't get him when they had the chance. This guy is a playmaker and I'm not convinced Edwards is the best WR in the draft.

the same place we get our "firm statements"...i'm currently sitting on mine.
lets assume miami takes brown at #2, and he becomes a HOF'er: schefter would then say in 10 years that it was the "obvious" choice, and that he knew it all along.
