Adrian McPherson
His stock has risen and we will see how far tomorrow.
He ...could... be taken in the second if some team is enamoured with him . While he has the character concern and minimal collegiate experience , he without doubt is on every teams radar.
His agent Lee Steinberg is not Drew Rosenhaus...now he of course will promote his clients , but he has emphatically said McPherson is the best QB in this draft.
Hyperbole ? Perhaps.... do however remember that he just happened to say that last year as well.... his client last year? Big Ben ...
Depending on how the draft unfolds I would seriously think Miami has to consider him in round three.... again if he lasts till then . I believe he for sure is a first day selection.
GREAT athleticism that for well known reasons never got to be shown , coached and developed for several years , but he has the arm to be much more than a run first QB. Two years in a coaching enviroment like Miami's will be , would prove to be very productive IMO.
We will move down at least once , it may not be the #2 overall even. I fully expect Saban to be sold on many players in this draft . If at say #46 he has 4 players he not can live with but really wants , he will trade down. I think Miami will have that approach before each pick tomorrow.
I would be shocked if Miami does not select a QB sometime tomorrow.... If McPherson was there at #3 ? Well then the picks prior could all be an impact immediately.
We will see , Saban has not let anything out on how he really views any player . If he thinks Smith is worthy of a top 2 pick then I think you have to go with the QB you feel will lead you to perrenial playoff appearances and hopefully a Super Bowl. He will not be waffling on which player(s) he likes... whom he likes at QB tomorrow is the most intruiging thought for me 22 hours away from Miami's draft.
