49ers- Alex Smith, QB Utah

This is the right move to rebuild the franchise. You need the QB to build the franchise around more than anything. The 49ers have been so bad lately, and Smith, because he's so intelligent and because he has the athletic ability and the frame. Now the question is whether he sticks here. I think he probably does. Good pick for the Niners.

Now the Dolphins are up, the chalk says they pick Ronnie Brown, because the need is obviously running back, but Saban really seems to want to deal down, though getting the second round pick for Patrick Surtain yesterday really gives them more flexibility, which is what they need. Personally, I don't seem them being that far away. They had a ton of injuries last year, and had to scramble for a running game. They really could get good quickly if they pick the right guys, particularly in the first few rounds. Mike Nolan just said they were going to keep Alex Smith, so congratulations to the both of them, because you're both tied to one another now.
