    Its obvious Saban drafts BPA over need. We drafted Ronnie Brown, thumbs up! Now what do we do with Lamar Gordon, Ricky Williams, Moa, Jamar Martin. Ronnie, Sammy, Heath are all guys who can play tailback and fullback. I think we should save money by cutting or trading them for some extra picks.

    Our defense was ranked #8, our offense was ranked #29. Surely Ronnie Brown brings us a good runningback, but a good RB is nothing without a good offensive line. Im shocked to see that Saban hasnt gone offense...nor does it look like he's gonna draft anymore offensive players. In the 4th round, i want to pickup Elton Brown...as of now, he is a STEAL. Im surprised to see Chris Spencer and Richie Incognito go ahead of him. Id like to get Elton in the 4th, Ernest Shazor in the 5th, and Stefan Lefors in the 7th. We need a FS. We have Yeremiah Bell who is young...i also heard we may draft a cornerback...why??? We have 2 young CB's in Reggie Howard and Will Poole.

    We got Matt Roth and Channing Crowder...Channing has knee problems....but its obvious Saban likes tough "in ur face" kinda guys, which is what Roth and Crowder are. We may also look at Hawthorne (DT) which would help us out at our Defensive tackle position...but we are loaded with DL's and possible linebackers now. I think Saban needs to go with Elton Brown in teh 4th...we desperately need a Center.

    To top things off.....we could use another reciever in Craphonso Thorpe. He is a good, fast, young receiver with lots of potential. I hope Saban doesnt pick a CB....the one thing i see Saban doing, is LOADING our team which isnt good. We have tons of defensive backs, tons of LBs, DLs...what we need is a decent offensive lineman. We have Eddie Moore and Derrick Pope who are very young at LB....we have TONS of defensive lineman...lots of defensive backs. We have lots of O-lineman who arent decent. I guess i just dont see whats going on...why Saban worries so much about our #8 defense, and not about our #29 offense.

    Overall....its a decent draft. But what are we gonna do with all of our extra players...we have SO MUCH depth at every position!

    hey i like the Ronnie Brown drafting. We needed a runningback.

    I like Matt Roth, he is an animal who wants to flat out kill the opposing team. Saban loves tough, in ur face, kinda guys. Roth, Crowder are that type. As far as Holliday and Carter go, i woulda preferred Burgess from Philadelphia...as far as Spragan goes, i woulda preferred Matt Stewart.

    I like Channing Crowder, he brings us another ILB...Thomas might be done in a few years. But Channing has knee problems. Some say he is the next Ray Lewis.

    Brian Daniels.....well, if we convert him to FS then we are fine. If we keep him at CB, then i think its a waste. Saban knows Daniels very well, he played at LSU.

    Anthony Alabi is okay. He is a young LT we need to groom. He can squat 800 pounds, DAMN.

    Kevin Vickerson is a much needed DT. I woulda preferred Hawthorne, but oh well.


    Hopefully in FA, they take Ben Wilkerson for Center. We seriously need a Center, if not Ben...then Vince Carter. Hudson Houck will work with the O-line.

    Hopefully we get David Boston back, because we need another wide receiver.
