He didn't want to risk bombing out with that first pick. So rather than take a risk on elite talent, he took known mediocrity in Cassel.
If I honestly thought that Pioli thinks Cassel is a better QB prospect than either of those guys, I guess I'd be secure in that knowledge and defer to Pioli. I don't believe that is the case, however.
And for the record, I don't think Todd Haley knows !@#% about how to evaluate QBs. Recognizing that you have one of the most accurate QBs in league history as a backup QB and deciding it may be a good idea to start him hardly wins him rave reviews in my book.

known mediocrity? the guy has played only 1 full season in the NFL. Tom Brady was the starter before he got hurt in the first game, meaning less training as a starter for matt cassel. id say give him like 3 maybe 4 more years to see if he's mediocre.
also, how can you say that haley has no knowledge about QB talent, when the only chance he's ever publicly had was the situation you just mentioned? thats reeruned.
Also, if cassel sucks, dont you think he'd have the balls to bench him for somebody else, like he did with lienart, even though he was making a shit ton of money?
