Lets get Alex Smith

[fishypete]

If Saban really thinks Smith can be a franchise QB then he has to draft him.We wont get another chance for some time.If he is uncertain then its best to trade down.I dont like taking a RB at that high a pick.

Saban talks about the need to find a great quarterback to have a championship team, but also concedes that finding that player atop the draft is a gamble.

''The history of drafting [successful] quarterbacks in the first round is a 30 percent hit,'' Saban said. ``I don't know what the odds are on a craps table in Vegas, but I know about that one.''

I wouldn't bet...and neither will Saban.
