1. Ryan Mallett, Patriots (Round 3, No. 74) – He might be the luckiest guy in this draft. He’s a pocket passer with a big arm and Tom Brady-like skills. The Patriots either landed a long-term starter for 10 seasons after Brady, or they’ll trade him for a higher pick than he originally cost. He absolutely fits what Belichick wants in a quarterback for his offense. What they do with Brady, they can do with Mallett.

2. Blaine Gabbert, Jaguars (1, 10) – I like this fit for Gabbert because of starter David Garrard and offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. Gabbert won’t be rushed onto the field. When you can do that for a quarterback, you have a much better chance of success.

7. Cam Newton, Panthers (1, 1) – Newton might have to be on the field too early. The Panthers don’t have that many veterans, and their receivers are very inexperienced. It’s too much, and I’m a little nervous for Newton. It’s not a good fit.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

Newton should sit for at least two years while they try to get value out of Clausen.

Bring this man back into the fold if you want some real leadership on this team.

I think that Christian Ponder to the Vikings is the best fit. All indications down here in soFla are that we would have taken him at #15 if avialable. He's got Peterson, Harvin, Rice, Gerhardt, Schiancoe as weapons, just has to manage them. And that he can do.
