Let the controversy begin

Sam Hall · 08-15-2008, 05:13 PM

With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft, Scott Wright, at least for now, thinks the Chiefs will select Matthew Stafford.

I'd like to see how Stafford plays without his left tackle. Remember, Scott Wright had Brian Brohm No. 1 overall at this time last year. He ended up correctly calling Jake Long to the Dolphins.

After last night, I wouldn't mind seeing us take Illinois CB Vontae Davis. I definitely think this kid has Champ Bailey potential.

I need more time to see Stafford. I'm not sure how he translates into the NFL. It would be convenient for the Chiefs if he were a consensus franchise quarterback.

The Alabama QB John Parker Wilson the other day did everything very well against Clemson, and I was originally looking at Harper.

The controversy is shaping up a little different than I expected. I expected it to be between Michael Oher and Matthew Stafford. Right now, it's between Stafford, Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez. I'm not holding my breath waiting for Sanchez and Bradford to declare.

I don't watch too much Georgia football, what offense do they run?

Sam Hall · 09-17-2008, 07:17 PM

I suppose this is exhibit A from Stafford's 2007 season

Sam Hall · 09-28-2008, 06:25 PM

This took another turn with today's win. The Chiefs aren't a lock for the top pick. I don't think St. Louis would draft Stafford, but Miami, San Francisco and Detroit might if given the chance.

A few more wins and I'll have to start a Maualuga-Laurinitis controversy thread

I really don't see OT as a legit 1st round option for us after drafting Albert. We can use help on the right side at guard and tackle, but you don't draft those guys in the 1st round.

If we don't get a QB, I think the next best option would be a beastly DE like Greg Hardy. That guy has Merriman-type potential.

I've mentioned this before, if they have the ability to be perennial all-pros you pull the trigger.

By all means, let's keep ignoring the QB position. Who needs a QB to rebuild anyway?

(and no, I'm not advocating for just any QB).

I'm advocating the BPA, of course you are being selective to what I said after the Georgia/Alabama game so please go on about how I'm so rigid with my player choices.

Sam Hall · 10-07-2008, 04:13 AM

Stafford and Bradford look pretty similar, but I see some differences. Stafford looks more like an NFL quarterback with his velocity. Something about Bradford's throwing motion doesn't remind me of an NFL quarterback. They're both accurate.

I don't think I would build my offense around a redshirt sophomore. However, I don't think Bradford will even declare for this year's draft.

Sam Hall · 10-14-2008, 09:18 AM

I'd be concerned about the Lions ending with a worse record than the Chiefs. Their schedule has mostly playoff-caliber teams. They would draft Stafford with the top pick.
