ESPN First Take.
i guess were trying to sign matt ryan before draft day and if for some reason its doesnt go that way the next guys in line are jake long, glenn dorsey, and chris long to sign before the draft...i think this would be smart just for the fact that then they cant hold out but i really would like to see them trade the pick but whatever works
Quote from one of the guys from Sirius NFL Radio Movin the Chains today on John Beck -
paraphrase "[the new regime in Miami] is not in love with John Beck."
Matt Ryan will be the pick. IMHO.
They can offer as many contracts to as many players as they want. Several recent #1 teams have pulled this maneuver. It does add yet another element to the trade bait game.
In the end, it doesn't matter until we actually announce our pick. Just part of the game.
If we drafted Matt Ryan (in my opinion a one year wonder), it would literally be as shocking as the Ted Ginn, Jr. pick a year ago. Fans would, for the most part, applaud it simply because we have drafted a QB when we finally got to #1. But, in the end, I think a lot of eyebrows would be raised. It's very un-Parcells like to draft a QB so high. Not too mention, Ryan would become the poster child for the new regime. Regardless how many other picks would be Pro Bowlers, if Ryan failed.... that's a permanent egg on the face.
Parcells rarely takes risks that huge. He's a calculated man who hedges his bets by spreading the value of his draft across many players. Not 1.
I think everyone knows that the front office isnt in love with Beck.We have heard about Miami possibly taking Matt Ryan,Chad Henne,Joe Flacco who's stock is rising,and many more.Culpepper,Losman,Green coming back are what we have been hearing as possible starters for next season.If the new regime were happy with Beck we wouldnt be hearing this stuff as much.
