I just don't understand how so many people here make definitive statements: "We're not taking a QB anyway". How do you know that? No one knows that for sure, that's the point. No team can be sure of what we are doing. Saban can sit back and yell at the top of his lungs that he's not impressed by anyone at #2 and will give the pick away for peanuts (obviously he hasn't done that) but that still doesn't give any indication of who he will take IF we stay. Additionally the notion that the moment we tell Cleveland we're willing to trade down one pick, we are essentially letting them know that we're not that high on Smith is silly. Maybe we value Smith over Ronnie Brown but value Ronnie Brown + compensation from Ceveland over Smith.
Lot's of fans make definitive statements and it always drives me crazy. "Since Ricky wil never be back, we should do 'x'", "Since we're not going to take a QB at #2 ...".
