I'm VERY torn on Sanchez. He has the "it" factor - the intangibles - that you want in a QB. However, lack of experience is a HUGE red flag. He won't have a chance to gain "experience" at this point. He has a chance to learn by watching film and studying plays, but that's not game-time experience. He's either going to succeed, or he's going to fail. Simple as that.

To be fair, I'm torn on Stafford too. He has the experience that Sanchez doesn't, but the more I watched him this past year, the more I thought he DOESN'T have "it". He's got the physical tools, but does he have it upstairs?

agreed with pretty much everything

the top of the draft is weak and risky this year ... more so than many other years imo.

you got guys with less exp that you want with a top pick
you got guys with part of their game missing that is necessary for a top pick

i'm pretty much ok with whomever Pioli goes with tbh

it's a dam crap shoot as far as i can tell. I wish him good luck and hopes he doesn't screw it up.
