Parcells makes his mark. I wanted the franchise QB, and maybe Beck or the newly-drafted Henne will finally end the search for the messiah quarterback after the greatest passer in NFL history’s ascent to Canton, but I don’t know that Matt Ryan was that guy. What I do know is that Chris Long was a safe pick. Not a lot of splash, and absolutely no drama since he was signed days before Saturday’s draft began, but this definitely set the tone for a new era that will hopefully make us forget all about the Wannstache, Nick Satan and 1-15 regimes.
Howie Long’s kid probably would’ve been a good pick too, but I think Parcells & Co. adequately addressed the defensive end positions as Jason Taylor sadly dances his way from South Florida to a new Hollywood career (hopefully better than ex-NFLers Jim Brown’s and O.J.’s). Let’s just hope Chris can protect whoever’s taking snaps and open big holes for Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams.
Overall, I thought it was a pretty good draft and I didn’t scream in agony over passing on a Brady Quinn, so that’s an improvement over last year’s right there ("Ted Ginn Jr.?? WHO??? [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE] [EXPLETIVE]
