Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
Here is a question and I don't know how measurable it is. Lets say this draft class had Sanchez, Stafford, Bradford, and Clausen who would go first out of the 4?
Seems like every year there is some great QB coming out and then they fizzle. Look at it this way when Lebron James came out he was a shore fire good pick, are any of these QBs that shore fire?

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
Much of this thread goes back to Vinny's line: "best player available."
I mean we are all opinionated on the players & the positions, but this team is not in a position to draft for a couple of needs & suddenly become a contender. There are several holes to fill. That said, I see the #4 pick being whoever is highest on the team's board, give or take a couple of slots. I don't see them picking Berry. With Haslet on board, it makes Suh (best in draft) less likely if he's available doesn't it? I see him as a 3 technique DT. Maybe if we got him, Haslett would stick w/the 4-3? I know we can't assume he wants to run a 3-4. As for ArtMonkinHall; drafting a qb in the late rounds makes perfect sense. Drafting a qb anywhere makes sense for that matter. Colt was drafted in the 6th because we needed a young backup & they liked him. If Collins is gone this year the team will need another backup at least. (I wish we could get Daniel back) |

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
Yeah, many scouts, if not most, had Leaf rated higher for his arm strength. The last consensus #1 QB pick I can remember was MIchael Vick. Even if he hadn't gotten in legal trouble, I think people would still debate his status as a franchise qb. (he did help them sell a hell of a lot of tickets in ATL though)

if there was ever a draft to trade down in, this is it. hopefully there will be an elite player at a position some team needs really bad and we can find a partner.

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
and Brees and Nate Kaeding (of course they didn't get much out of Brees in the long run)

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
I still dont understand why SD just let Brees walk. I'd be pissed if the skins had a franchise-type player and they just let him walk for no compensation.

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
brees was injured or coming off injury. i lived in SD during brees tenure there and the fans werent all that high on him even though i watched the guy make plays and win games for them when they had zero identity on offense.
i think with his size, alot of people in SD viewed brees as a doug flutie type; a gamer but his size limited him from elevating his level of play to something elite.

Re: ESPN's Schefter channels his energy into NFL
If I recall correctly, SD drafted Rivers (Manning) the year they let Brees go (after he injured his shoulder). IMO, they did the right thing.
