Benson, Brown and trading down

[The Bopkin]

Hello all-
Many reports from various sources have said that Saban would like to trade down. Let's say Miami is not interested in drafting a QB and would like to end up with either Brown or Benson. How far down do you guys think Miami could drop in a trade and still be guaranteed to get one of those two?

they could probably drop to the ninth or tenth spot and be gaureented at least Benson

Im guessing they could drop down to the 12th spot and still be able to draft Benson, but Brown will be gone.

To atleast get Brown or Benson, you can probably only trade down to the #4 spot because if you trade down any further, you got two teams (Bucs&Bears) that can easily draft a RB. Then again they can both easily draft a WR beacause there's so much depth at RB.

You bring up the hardest issue so far this offseason I think. I'd play it safe and try to convince Cleveland that we're drafting a QB so they might trade up with us to try and get Alex Smith. Plus, we'll we might get a 1st day draft pick from Surtain.
