Nick Saban is really wise and this draft was the firm.
Just said Couch Saban knows our Achilles' heel was RB, but he also knows that Ricky Williams might be back.
He is smart enough to give a high value on RW, but he won't go one horse if RB is that weak on his team. Saban wants first a powerfull flexible and impresive deffense with young blood.
But he also knows how expensive is a 2nd draft pick and wanted the deadliest weapon available.
He knows WR Edwards' capabilities, but he knows that a WR can be a good weapon only is a great QB is on his side, and Saban still have serious doubts about his QBs that may need a very hard work to improve or a year to trade for someone else, just remember he wasn't excited about the QB on this draft. It's a sure thing he'll improve AJ Feeley this season and Nick was many goals on his QB, but our coach will give him more than just a little homework to do, we'll make him sweat in order to became his starter.
So he drafted the deadliest weapon available and as Saban said, "'versatility,' I think, is very important". Ronnie will open the holes for RW if he comes back, and at same time he'll block, he'll be a TE, a RB, a FB and a WR all in one man, that 'versatility' will guide us lightyears from DW's offense.
For those who think RW is a bad person a traitor or something worse, this guy just make a pair of failures A) To be in drugs and B) Being scared (of failing drug tests and game load itself) take his way out in the worse moment.
In my opinion RW will say no drugs under Saban because Nick Saban the leader (not the couch nor the boss), will help him. While this happens RW will upgrade his skils, be strong in a balanced scheme and become the wildest RB of all times.
So answering the question Ronnie or Ricky? Both.
