I think that this year would be a great year for the Patriots to draft a quarterback. We have a number one in his prime and Cassel has obviously established himself as a number two. Drafting a quarterback is always a gamble, so it would be nice to do it when there is as little pressure as possible.
Since arriving in the U.S. I've had a chance to watch some college football. What I've seen has brought it home to me how different the college and NFL games are, especially in what's wanted in a quarterback. I haven't seen anyone yet who convinced me -- certainly not Brady Quinn, Chris Leak or Troy Smith. Even Chad Henne (who looked streets ahead of Quinn in the Michigan-Notre Dame game -- having Mario Manningham helps!) makes too many bad throws for my taste.
Thoughts?
