Peter King Q/A SI said:
NOT SO FAST, DAVE. From Dave K. of Chicago: "With QB Aaron Rodgers to the Niners and RB Ronnie Brown to the Dolphins seemingly a forgone conclusion with the first two spots in the draft, does that make the third pick, by Cleveland, the hot spot in the draft? How many teams might appear desperate to trade over Chicago at No. 4 to get their back or receiver of choice?''

Not many. First of all, Dave, I am skeptical that Nick Saban, who does really like Ronnie Brown, will end up taking the Auburn running back. I think Saban thinks that's too high for a back in a draft rich with backs. I still think the Dolphins coach will mine the waters to try to find a trade partner. (Which, by the way, I think will not work, unless he makes Patrick Surtain or another trusty veteran part of the trade talks.) My guess is Cleveland is going to puzzle over this one and take the best available defensive player, unless Phil Savage and Romeo Crennel, the new brain trust, fall in love with the quarterback San Francisco and Miami do not take -- either Rodgers or Alex Smith.

I agree with that.... Braylon Edwards or Alex Smith i think
 
I agree that Saban would like to trade out of the #2, but if he doesnt....No one knows wich way he will go. If he really likes Brown, irregarless of what Ricky does, he will pick him. But if he feels like Smith/Rodgers is his guy then thats the route he will take. One thing is for sure...only Saban has a clue which way he is leaning.
 
Trading down is a mistake. We got where we are now because of SOOO many years without high draft picks. Now we have one, we should make the most of it.
 
It is so tough to make the decision when we don't know all of the football facts on these guys. I kept thinking that it would be crazy to pass on one of the 2 best physical specimens in Ronnie Brown/Braylon Edwards imho. They seem to be freaks when it comes to their respective positions. But, we also have a lot of holes to fill and could use the extra picks to fill them. Maybe Barber/Morency/Fason/R.White/T.Williamson/(plug in your guy here!) are just as good...that is where the dilema continues and places us back in the same spot...not knowing what will happen. The following are guys I would like to see us somehow get a chance at (obviously not all, but some would be nice:wink: ):

R.Brown
B.Edwards
Cad.Williams
S.Merriman
D.Bass
M.Barber III
C.Webster
R.Parrish
A.Bryant
Jr.Rosegreen
A.Mcphearson
D.Sproles
 
If Cleveland falls in love with a QB, I'ld swap places with the Browns and pick up some extra picks in the process.
 
Maybe I am a little behind but, could SD present a Trade to Miami now that (as far as I know) SF denied the SD offer. Maybe involving our #2 Surtain for there first (#8, #28?) and maybe a 2nd or *gulp* a 3rd. :confused: Of course, only if SD is looking for a CB. Anyone know if they are?
 
I think we can trade down to somewhere in the lwoer half of the top 10.
