Poor bastard. Has to drive around all year like this. Haha

I'm proud to say that I would suck at fantasy football if I played it. And i'm equally proud to say I don't!

There is what? 150 days or so until it starts?

First round of draft...sure hope the Vikings know something I don't. Big guys that run hot and cold and have a lot of injury history normally slide further down the board. Looked great in the Senior bowl...until he got hurt, again. The Rams picking a QB early that may need several years when they are in win now mode with Stafford was a head scratcher too. The Hawks really reached for their RB.

I think there is good evidence to support drafting your next starting qb before you need to. Probably the biggest challenge is if your starting qb will accept it. I think Stafford understands his role.

Plus Stafford is 38 and was reportedly considering retirement last season. I think, if he won the Super Bowl, he might have. I like the move by the Rams.

Taking a QB when yours is old is one thing, but taking one that high is another. He would still have been available late into the 1st. He was not great at Bama and needs time. Comparing him to Rodgers and Love picks isnt a good one either...both were more accomplished in college. Both had several years to get ready.

They have always just gone for it though. Brought in Stafford giving up a pile of draft picks...and that worked pretty well. For them and Detroit.

Really good at finding mid to late round gems too.

Some of the expert pundits rated the Banks reach as the biggest one in the draft though.

They sure will with their haul so far, top WR and TE and good OT...add to that a really good edge rusher in trade (the Vikings Greenard) for a third round pick this year and next year. Would have liked to see a bit more in the trade for the Vikings but the cap situation savings is big and he'd be gone after next year if he can stay healthy anyway. Health was an issue for him last year.

Seems like a lot of dysfunction going on there regardless of talent. mtmuley
