My thoughts on the 2nd pick:
<<<<<This is on the basis that Saban does not care what was put into this team before he arrived and Ricky has no input>>>>
We will not draft a RB. - Gordon was traded for b/c he has the potential to be a starting RB in the league. He will be given his shot this year. He will be given this shot b/c:
1. Linehans Offense does not need a stud RB
2. We are not making a run this year, an RB in the draft early next year can step in and help right away, if Lamar does not work out
3. He has potential to make an impact on offense
We will take an RB late.
If we do not trade down or aquire any more picks via trade:
Alex Smith
because:
1. Saban knows the importance of the QB position. He will not make the same mistake that others have made and not cover this position.
2. He knows that Gus can succeed in our offense, but for how long. If he drafts a QB now, he will be ready when Gus is done.
3. He knows nothing about AJ, sure he can watch film on him but is film enough. He will not take the chance of not having a backup if AJ does not workout.
If we aquire more picks (a 2nd rounder**A QB would be picked here, Cambell, Frye etc...)
Braylon Edwards
1. BPA
2. Linehans offense is setup for WRs. Cant have too many in his eyes
3. PLAYMAKER
4. Chambers-do we want just him as the superstar of the WRs. Playmaker who would blossom even more with someone to compliment him, 2 is better than 1.
5. Derrius showed suttin this year and not just "the catch", he was making plays before that, quite a few 3 down, tough catches, but who would be confident with him. 1 solid year does not earn you a spot and confidence from the coaches
6. Booker-Solid WR but for how much longer, is his heart in the game anymore. what did he show us last year for us to be fully confident with this guy
the lack of a second really messes us up...
we need;
1. QB-obvious reasons
2. RB-Depth
3. C-Seth stinks, can hadnot or st clair go back to this position?
4. DT-we are old and need depth there
5. S- we do not have much there at htis point, need depth
6. CB-we need depth
also but not a need at this point:
1. DE
2. LB
3. LT ( i know this is a great need but wont be looked at with this draft
we will not draft oline help this year. we have alot of young guys that HH is gonna look at before we use a draft pick.
I would love to get Braylon, but we need to trade down
