He's got everything going for him but the ability to throw the football. I just don't get the Thigpen people.

This. When I was 24 I could throw a better deep ball.

Back in 1982... I could throw a football a quarter mile.

Tidbit from a Kiper chat:

Derek (Kansas City, MO): The Chiefs hold the #3 pick and now have a competent GM to use the pick in Scott Pioli. Pioli never used a high draft-pick on a QB in New England, so do you think he will take Matt Stafford with the #3 pick, or address O-line or defense help?

Mel Kiper: If you look at Pioli, Tyler Thigpen was a late round pick and they hit with Brady and Cassel in the late rounds. They have to evaluate Tyler Thigpen. They have needs at DE. They did not make up for the loss of Jared Allen. The WR position, they have Bowe, but they need a little more help. They need help on the second line at LB. In Pioli's case, if he thinks Thigpen is right for the job, then he can address those other positions.

I don't think you can extrapolate from what happened in New England that Pioli doesn't like to draft QBs high. They had Bledsoe and then Brady, they never had any need to spend a high pick on a QB.

bledsoe went first overall in 1993. that's a pretty high pick for a QB, isn't it?
