Your first rounder

[Boid Fink]

And I am glad you don't GM

Maybe you liked watching the defense be gashed by opposing rushers last season. Me? I'd like two new defensive players lining up next year to help combat that problem. Instead, I got another QB and a diva-TE.

I'm glad I don't GM too -- the games are painful enough to watch as it is.

The DT they got weighs 315 (not sure if that is good), and their DE is 280ish.  With the mid rounders, they went for the run stoppage, rather than the pass rushage.

I guess the guys in the 3rd and beyond rounds don't count?

As Steve Young pointed out on ESPN... it's a QB league. You HAVE to have an elite QB to compete year in and year out in the NFL.

I think Percy Harvin, Maclin, and Maualuga will be excellent NFL players but you have to take Josh Freeman if you think he can dominate. I'm good with it.

And yet, I keep coming back to a team that won a Super Bowl with Brad Johnson.

Maybe we should ask Arizona what they think about drafting a 1st round QB v. signing a good free agent that fits the system they want to run.

Maybe you should ask Arizona in a year and see what they think about signing old vets. Or we should ask teams like San Diego, Giants, Colts, Atlanta, and Baltimore to name a few and see how it is to draft the QB that fits your system.

We'll see.

Interestingly, I agree with you on the Ravens getting Flacco. Take care of your defense first, then go get yourself a franchise QB.
