This draft has a ton of option at wide receiver and defensive tackles, and sometimes you can only narrow it down to two players and then just pray that you make the right choice from there.
Who Ya' Got?
1. Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez?
Matthew Stafford has an absolute cannon for an arm and has descent accuracy, but another huge selling point for me is that he was an SEC quarterback. Anytime a quarterback as talented as Stafford comes out of the SEC and played against some of the best defenses in college football, you know he's going to be a solid NFL quarterback.
For Mark Sanchez it just isn't that simple. There is no doubting Sanchez's talent, but he only started for one season and that raises some concern for me if I had the pick.
Verdict: Matthew Stafford
2. Michael Crabtree or Jeremy Maclin?
Both of these receivers had great quarterbacks getting them the ball. Maclin had more yards and more receptions than Crabtree with 102 receptions and 1260 yards, but Crabtree was an absolute touchdown machine with 19 TD's.
When it comes to NFL readiness I would have to take Crabtree due to his scoring ability. Standing at 6'3'', Crabtree will be a valuable asset inside the redzone. He reminds me of a Plaxico Burress, minus the stupidity of shooting yourself in a nightclub.
Verdict: Michael Crabtree
3. Knowshon Moreno or Chris "Beanie" Wells?
This may be one of the toughest choice to make. Both running backs had their moments in 2008 that made them look like future NFL stars.
Moreno is probably one of the most versatile running backs in this year's draft, but Wells has him beat in power running.
This choice will vary greatly on a team to team basis. In the end, I think both running backs will be good in the NFL, but Moreno can do more things for you on offense. He's a better receiver than Wells and has much better speed, which is extremely important in the NFL.
Verdict: Knowshon Moreno
