From Mort Chat Today

[dan13]

"Alex, Salt Lake City, Utah: Mort, Saban says he's going to take the best available player with the second pick rather than pick on a needs basis. Isn't Ronnie Brown considered to be one of the best available players who would fill a huge need for the Fins? What is Saban doing?!?!? Thanks for taking my question. Keep up the good work!

Chris Mortensen: (12:12 PM ET ) Well, Nick's not going to tell anybody, what he's doing, but yes, Ronnie is one of the top 10 players in the draft. There is still plenty of debate about his moderate production in college and Saban probably knows him and his Auburn teammate Cadillac Williams as well as anybody b/c he's had to play 'em for the last four years. One of Saban's strengths is as an evaluator, so I would trust him. ...... There is no question that he would love to trade out of that number two slot, by the way. "

So let's not worry about which of the 3 RB's is better, cause Saban knows.. and besides...>> "There is no question that he would love to trade out of that number two slot, by the way. "

If we can work that out, and stick to our value chart, I'm all for it.

"Saban said the club has a chart that suggests what type of compensation Miami should get for moving down in the draft. The coach said he would follow that chart strictly in forging a trade."
