Thoughts on the NFL Draft


Yesterday I gave you a brief look into my draft thoughts so lets dive a little deeper today.

Detroit Lions:

Aaron Curry has come out and said he would take less money than last years number 1 pick. Detroit...you NEED playmakers AND you NEED cap space. Sign Curry and take him with the #1 pick. Don't touch Stafford. Yes you have nothing to lose but he WILL NOT be your starting quarterback in 5 years. And if he is you will not have won more than 5 games in any of those years.

Anquan Boldin trade:

Why is he still a Cardinal? I mean really. What do the Giants, Eagles, Titans, or anyone else have to lose? The teams have plenty of draft choices so what is the point of hoping you get a guy that MIGHT help your team in a few years when you can trade for a player like Anquan who WILL help your team this year. The Eagles and Giants are probably just an Anquan away from competing for a Super Bowl so for them not to got get him is ridiculous.

Andre Smith:

Who in their right mind would waste a pick on this guy? He is too big a risk in my opinion to take early in the draft. I don't care if he turns into the next Orlando Pace (which he won't) he isn't worth the risk. The best teams in the NFL draft players that are a little safer then what other teams will do. They might pass over a guy like Smith and opt for a different player who might not have the same skill level but might be just a step behind but less of a risk. It isn't surprising that as of now I have heard Bengals or Raiders for this clown as those teams are the jokes of the league usually.

Sanchez vs Stafford:

Now you can take my opinion for what it is worth considering I was a Ryan Leaf over Peyton believer but I like Sanchez much more than Stafford. Stafford never really showed me anything at Georgia. He was much like JaMarcus Russell at LSU, a great talent that doesn't seem able to put it all together. I know the question on Sanchez is has he played enough and he surely wouldn't be rated this high in a year with better quarterbacks available but he has shown more in 1 year than Stafford showed in 3. I would take Sanchez long before Stafford.
