But as I survey the NFL landscape in late April, here are 10 moves I think make too much sense not to make. I'm not saying these all will happen, but I think they should: ~ ~ ~ 9. The Jets draft Matt Ryan: While the latest buzz has Ryan going to the No. 3 Falcons, I still think Atlanta would be wiser to take Dorsey with its first pick and use some of its three second-round selections as ammo to land either Brohm, Henne or Flacco late in the opening round.Doing it that way, the Falcons could almost certainly add an impact player on both sides of the ball at the top of their draft. Taking the quarterback at No. 3 means it's unlikely they'd be able to affect their defense as dramatically in Round 2 as Dorsey would in Round 1.But New York isn't in the same position as Atlanta, and has to get better quarterback play if it has any hopes of closing the gap on the Patriots in the AFC East. Chad Pennington is on borrowed time with the Jets, and Kellen Clemens remains a question mark who came at the price of a second-round pick in 2006. If the Jets are as high on Ryan as indications allow, and he makes it to their No. 6 slot, they should pull the trigger and not think twice. > http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2008/writers/don_banks/04/22/10.moves/index.html
thats a negative ghostrider...if you want to hedge take Flacco, Brohm, or Henne in RD 2 but there is no way you can write off Clemens after just 8 games.....how many games did it take the Manning brothers before they became the leaders they are today. No way would you risk setting the franchise back years by essentially wasting our #6 pick on a guy that we very well could have on our team. That is my logic at work. My heart says in Chad we Trust and hope he beats out Clemens in camp and with our improved lines and Darren McmotherfuckinFadden in the backfield Chad will finally beat Brady. And if neither of those work out, well we got one of the next top 3 Qb's with our Rd 2 pick.
