Dale's Mailbag
Q: Dale, who is the best QB in this draft, Stafford or Sanchez? Jeff - Mt. Pleasant, MI
A: Jeff, we are in mid-process right now so it's difficult to give you a completely educated opinion, however, as of today I would give the edge to Stafford but not by much. Both are physically gifted with the tools to be considered a potential franchise QB. In my opinion, Stafford always left me wanting more from due to his inconsistency. Sanchez was probably a better QB in 2008 but I like the experience factor with Stafford. Three years of starting in the SEC versus only 16 games for Sanchez. I don't believe either will be ready to take over as a starter in 2009 and both should be allowed to sit as rookies. The player that may turn out down the road to be the best QB in this draft is neither Stafford or Sanchez but rather Josh Freeman of Kansas State. He is a bit raw but very exciting with a skill set off the charts. Don't be surprised if Freeman ends up as best in class four years from now.
Q: How many FCS players will get drafted in the first 2 rounds? Bill- San Diego, CA.

A. Bill, I don't see any FCS players going in the first two rounds, however there are several very good prospects that could go beginning in the third round. I do like Domonique Johnson, a cornerback from Jackson State to go relatively high if he runs impresses at the combine.
