You got a point there. I can see it now... Amac throws a 70 yard bomb down field to Chase Lyman.

Well I was just trying to keep that Amac as the future franchise quarterback dream alive for some people... I'd definately take that Brees to Lyman. :P

Eric Winston, OT, Miami Jonathan Scott, OT, Texas Marcus McNeil, OT, Auburn These are the guys who will probably land in the first, early second rounds. I would say D'Brick has some very good company and that's why I've said from day one we need a leader on defense and Hawk is the man, period! |

And besides, all of this is speculation. Do I truly know who is the best player in the draft. No...and neither do you. However I do know that I've seen NO analyst or draft expert say that Leinart is the best player in the draft. I think BPA in the draft signifies the most surefire pick in the draft, and Bush and D'Brick have been the ones that have recieved those praises. If you think Leinart is the best player in the draft, more power to you. There's no way I would personally take him over one of the best talents of the past 10 years in Bush and the best rated tackle to come out since Walter Jones. "Franchise" QBs come along every year it seems like. Next year Brady Quinn will be the guy we "can't pass up". |

His only knock is that he needs to gain a little more weight. There is a huge dropoff from D'Brick to Justice. And does anyone realize if this draft didn't have Reggie Bush that D'Brick would be the #1 overall pick without a doubt? And there is talk that he actually STILL may go #1. We can possibly get him at #4....kind of a steal. |

If Leinart is there at 2 and Bush is off the board I'd take him. I don't know about Brees' shoulder and I think Leinart is going to be a great player. If we can trade down, then thats what I'm in favor of, but if we cannot trade down I like Leinart. I also would like to say that in many other drafts in years past Leinart would be the top choice hands down. I think between Bush, Leinart, Brick and maybe Young, you have 4 guys who many consider to be #1 picks. Probably all 4 would have gone #1 last year.

Robert Gallery was suppose to be the next superstar LT, he's not even playing that position anymore. Give me a break. You say "franchise" QBs come along ever year, so does "franchise left tackles".

Both are good and judging from last year's performance, Justice was the more consistent of the two. Brick might be more talented and athletic, but Justice is solid in his own right.
