Draft Game... Comment Thread
I figured this would help keeping the selection thread un-cluttered.
One pick in and my hopes for Matt Ryan (somewhat because of the no trades) to fall to me and the Ravens @ 8 have been dashed already. |

I thought long and hard about this pick. I decided that Miami really needs a good decision maker and leader at QB. I am not a fan of workout warriors- guys who can throw the ball 70 yards from their knees. I don't want a Michael Vick athlete, a Rex Grossman or Kyle Boller gunslinger. I want a Peyton Manning, Tom Brady or Carson Palmer. They are all guys who make the right decisions, get the ball to the right guy quickly and lead their teams. Ryan has an OK arm, but he is accurate, a good leader and someone who makes the right decisions.

Re: Draft Game... Comment Thread
I really like the pick for Miami. They are a long way away and i like competition at qb with beck. Nice one, mate.

Re: Draft Game... Comment Thread
I don't think it's a bad pick, but I really think it's worth it for them to at least see what Beck is capable of, or else they totally wasted a pick on him last year. I know that he's not a Parcells guy, but unless they're convinced Ryan is a once-in-a-lifetime talent (which I'm not), than I'm not sure it's the right direction when there are clearer needs.
It's not an indefensible pick though.

Drafting a QB #1 is such a huge decision. They better be certain he's a franchise QB, otherwise it could set them back another 5 years. |

That being said, Miami really is in a no win situation unless they can trade down. NONE of the players in the draft fall into the "Once in a life time talent" category. None. Not either of the Longs. Not Gholston. Not McFadden. Not sure if Gomezcat took it into consideration, but the Phins let their RT (LJ Shelton) go and are in need of a starting tackle. Vernon Carey is best on the right side so, taking a LT wouldn't hurt. |

Re: Draft Game... Comment Thread
It was one of those picks that I wasn't 100% sure about. In fact, there wasn't anyone that I was that sure about, with the first pick. What sold me were his "intangibles" and leadership.

Can't disagree with it GC, and I think he'll probably be under serious consideration in reality. Makes things a little more interesting lower down though.

Re: Draft Game... Comment Thread
Well you just screwed Atlanta's plans,
 Then again they have so many needs it doesn't really matter.
