April 22, 200519 yr Nice job Saban. Held tight to his guns and the Chefs flinched first. Fins should thank the Texans who gave up a second and third for Buchanan. Wouldl have been nice for the fins to get that. Now trade down and get more pics!
April 22, 200519 yr I'm sad he's gone, but this does give us a bit more flexibility. Now if we can trade down from #2, I'll be happier than a pig in mud.
April 22, 200519 yr Good job Saban in holding out and getting what you want for it. 3 picks in the first 70...hopefully can add 1 or 2 more
April 22, 200519 yr It all depends on what the 49ers do. If they take Smith, teams want Edwards and one rumor has the Redskins giving us both their #1s for Edwards. If they take Edwards, Bucs might trade up for Smith. Theyve offered teh 49ers their #5 overall and a 3rd rounder apparently.
April 22, 200519 yr since i was curious, i went and looked it up: the second round pick we get is #14 (#46 overall). in the fifth round, we swapped our #2 (#138 overall) for their #26 (#162 overall).
April 22, 200519 yr The Dolphins need the draft pic, so its a good deal. 751513[/snapback] They dont need the draft pick, they needed to clear cap space. If it wasnt for needing cap space, the Dolphins never trade their best CB for a 2nd round pick.
April 23, 200519 yr It all depends on what the 49ers do. If they take Smith, teams want Edwards and one rumor has the Redskins giving us both their #1s for Edwards. No friggin way I just can't believe that. I'd love it, but I can't believe it. That would be beyond amazing.

Seems like a stretch but here it is: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sport...ll/11458205.htm I have a feeling Saban is playing this brilliantly. Playing the teams off of each other and even sitting on his bluff if he has to. If the 9ers take Smith, I think he lets three teams fight it out for Edwards and if they call his bluff, he drafts Edwards (arguably the best player in the draft) anyway. If the 9ers take Edwards, he pushes Smith around and likely to Tampa for the best possible offer and moves down only 3 spots and gets at worst a third rounder out if it. At 3 he could take Willaims or Brown if he wants. Tommorow is going to be a lot of fun regardless.
April 23, 200519 yr If so many teams want Edwards, we're better served picking him, and then trying to get the best deal. Until we actually have him teams will be skeptical that we're bluffing, and that will drive down the price they're willing to pay.
April 24, 200519 yr Matt Roth for Patrick Surtain would've have been a better trade if the Dolphins got a lower round pick to go with it. :confused

If it wasnt for the Salary Cap there is no way you trade a top 5 CB in the NFL for a 2nd round pick.
