Saban and the draft (New article)

If it had been Wanny he would have been crucified.Saban gets a free pass because we still trust him.After all he is the expert.

Very true. There must be something special about these guys if Saban drafted them ahead of all that talent. He at least deserves a chance to prove it. I'm sure if Wanny was still around it would be a totally different story but he earned his criticism.

The way I see it, the best option for Miami was to trade up with San Fran and take Alex Smith. San Fran was offering the pick and I think Smith was our best shot at an elite prospect. Instead we now have a logjam at RB with Ronnie Brown, Ricky, Lamar Gordon and Travis Minor. I do understand though with the way this draft was, it wouldve been very difficult to make a move, but still even though we had to stay at #2 Braylon Edwards was the best player available and shouldve been taken ahead of Brown. I dont really understand why we didnt use a pick on Mcpherson or Orton, but maybe the reason was that Saban likes Feeley enough that he doesnt feel any of the mid-rd. QB prospects are any better then him. I wouldve loved Mcpherson cause I think he has probably the most upside of any QB in the draft, I think if Saban did like him he shouldve pulled the trigger on him in the 3rd rd. instead of taking a risk on an injury prone LB like Channing Crowder. I was not very happy with this draft, and hopefully after a year in the NFL Saban can do a better job next year.

We dont have a logjam at RB. We have our starter in Brown and then we have the backups. You have to treat the RB position as if Ricky Williams didnt even exist because at any given moment that could be the case as far as playing football goes. McPherson has some potential upside but like R. Williams has at least an equal amount of risk. The character thing scares me and while a lot of people oohh and ahhh over McPherson's arena stats they dont realize that in that league, stats like that are the norm for QBs, not the exception.
While I would have liked to have taken Orton in the 4th, overall I think it was an excellent draft.
