another stupid expert doesn't believe in Sanchez and Stafford

I have taken out a few pieces of this article to irritate the Sanchez and Stafford lovers. If you want to read the entire article, here it is.

Teams who should make a run at Matt Cassel

What the Patriots do or don't do with Cassel could define if not the top of the draft, but the draft in general.

Let's return to the Lions, who own the first pick in April's draft.

Today, there is no way the Lions will use that choice on either Georgia's Matt Stafford or USC's Mark Sanchez, the top-rated quarterbacks in the draft. Now, they might consider using it on Cassel, but they won't do that, either, even though he is preferred over the unknown rookies. Instead, the Lions will probably choose between two offensive tackles, Baylor's Jason Smith or Virginia's Eugene Monroe. It's the Jake Long syndrome all over again. Alabama's Andre Smith is out of the mix because his college coaches have been faint with their praise of their road-grader tackle who left here because he didn't feel like he was in the proper shape to compete.

Nothing against Stafford or Sanchez, but neither appears to be the next Matt Ryan or Joe Flacco. Now, Cassel displayed impressive tools in highly-pressurized situations last season, plus there's less wear and tear on his body, considering he's only played one season in the last eight years. Neither Stafford or Sanchez can claim that.

He went 17th, IIRC.

And there's no way he even goes that high in a re-draft, IMO.

Scott Wright is making me shake my head a bit at him this year...Brian Orakpo and Chris Wells in his top 10? Brandon Pettigrew 13?

He wouldn't because he's been shitty, DJ Williams went about where LB's like that should go which shows how ridiculous it is to have Curry as the 3rd pick is.

Weak draft at the top, but has a lot of depth once you get past pick 15 or 20.

But those guys?

Brandon Pettigrew is Daniel Graham or Jason Dunn in the NFL...Chris Wells is just a big hammer, hell Knowshon Moreno isn't fast either but when I watch him he reminds me of Priest Holmes, he follows his blocks he's very patient he just won't rip off many long ones.

Pettigrew is the biggest question mark. I would take Moreno over Wells also, heh, Scott likes him some Beanie. Think Orakpo is the positional value, best DE? in the draft. This will be much different come early April. Just a weak draft for Elite talent. Probably should have a top 5 .... then skip to 11.
