It wouldn't have killed either of those guys to sit this year, especially Stafford. But what's done is done.
You can't look at what Mark has done and not be impressed. Even with the bumps in the road, the NFL learning-curve, and the lumps he's taken, the kid absolutely refuses to roll over and wilt.
As to the rest of our 09 draft and direction of the team, you should ask Hamas to re-post his board; it'll make you ****ing cringe and bang your head at how awesome and complete it is.

I see eye to eye with Hamas more than any other poster on the board on most issues since I have been here. We dont agree on everything, but I respect his opinion more than most on here, that is for sure! I am also sure he watches more college ball than me so his opinion on matters reguarding the players in the draft should hold a lot more weight than mine would if I doubled how much I watch college ball outside of a few teams.
You could definitely say take out Orakpo from my "bad example" and place Sanchez on the bench behind Garcia. I could see that. I wouldnt be against it 100% But it would be handcuffing us to him no matter what and I think that if we kept gailey, we also kept the "Arrowspread" and that Bradford would be a much better fit than Sanchez would be to it. JMO I may be wrong.
We need/ed a pass rusher and Orakpo was the best one out there and would have at least fit a need is all I am really saying.
Its really disappointing/disturbing to think how many different directions we could have gone other than the one we did.
