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 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.

While I'm not convinced that Ryan is a "once in a lifetime talent," it was pretty clear that Beck doesn't have what it takes to be a capable QB in this league. He was just putrid last year. He was so bad that the Phins went back to Cleo Lemon. Which should tell you something.
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.

Well you just screwed Atlanta's plans,
Then again they have so many needs it doesn't really matter.
Indeed. In fact, I think it would be quicker to name areas of strength.
(thinks for a minute)
OK..
Atlanta has a great MLB in Michael Boley.
Hmm.. Roddy White is a pretty decent wide receiver. Alge Crumpler, when healthy is one of the best TE's in the league.
They've got a couple good running backs......
Hmmm... WOW...
:nono:
He's a Titan.
WHoops.. Forgot that the Falcons had let him go..
I gotta sit down and study what the Titans have done so I can figure out what their needs are.
I can help you sir.
Running Back. Wide Receiver. Secondary. Haha.
