Analysis

Rodgers and Smith are talented enough to become the first quarterbacks selected 1-2 in the draft since Tim Couch and Donovan McNabb in 1999. There is intriguing depth in this class spearheaded by Purdue's Kyle Orton and Arizona State's Andrew Walter.

トレードダウンでなんとか2巡or3巡で
Akron　or Geogia or Purdue のQB獲得って
あたらなそうなわたしの予想です。

Shifting the stakes: Team may select Edwards

Miami Herald
Nick Saban is reportedly voicing interest in receiver Braylon Edwards, while the Dolphins are repeating their message to the Chiefs that Patrick Surtain is not available at a cheap price.
If the Dolphins can't get the quarterback they want with the No. 2 overall pick in the NFL draft, they might take the wide receiver everybody else seems to want. At least that's the message the Dolphins were sending to teams interested in Michigan wide receiver Braylon Edwards, said a source who spoke with coach Nick Saban.

In addition, the Dolphins reiterated their message to Kansas City that there will be no bargain trade for cornerback Patrick Surtain after seeing Houston deal second- and third-round picks to Oakland for cornerback Philip Buchanon.

The Dolphins contacted the Chiefs again Wednesday to say they want at least a second-round pick for Surtain, a Pro Bowl player entering the final year of his contract. Even though Surtain's $8.4 million contract is a hardship for the cap-strapped Dolphins, Saban has said he will keep Surtain rather than give him up for the fourth-round pick Kansas City initially offered.

Edwardsがいいのかもしれないけど
やっぱりWRよりRBでしょ
WRは、CCとBookerいるので
RBほど喫緊ではない気がするんですけど

Miami Dolphins draft needs

Buffalo Bills.com

Coach: Nick Saban (1st year) General manager: Rick Spielman
Last season: 4-12, Last place AFC East

1st round pick: 2 2nd round pick: None 3rd round pick: 70

Draft strategy: Saban has plenty of needs to address and is trying to figure out a way to get extra draft picks. The Dolphins do not have a second-round pick, sending that to Philadelphia for quarterback A.J. Feeley last year. Saban doesn't want to have to wait for 70th for his second pick.

The Dolphins and Tampa Bay, which has the fifth overall pick, have discussed a possible swap of first-rounders with Miami also receiving picks in the second and third round. That's contingent on quarterback Alex Smith of Utah being available with the second pick. If San Francisco selects Smith No. 1 overall, then the Dolphins may not get offers for the second pick.

If that's the case, Miami should select Auburn's Ronnie Brown, who is rated as the draft's most complete running back, to replace the retired Ricky Williams. There is speculation that Williams may want to return, but he still must serve a suspension for testing positive for marijuana.

Saban can still pass on a running back in the draft and pursue a trade for Edgerrin James, who was designated as franchise player by Indianapolis. James starred for the University of Miami and would welcome a trade to the Dolphins.

Saban is a protege of Bill Belichick, so look for the Dolphins to go after linebackers with size and pass-rushing ability, along with a playmaking safety.

Veteran cornerback Patrick Surtain, who carries a hefty salary cap figure, has been given permission to seek a trade and may be headed to Kansas City.

Saban already helped the defensive line by signing Kevin Carter and Vonnie Holliday.

タンパとの交換だと2巡、3巡がプラスの可能性があるんですね。
でも49ersがA.Smith獲っちゃったらないわけだし。
ほんと49ersの獲得選手に俄然、注目が集まります。
