Where would you select VY in an open draft?

id probably take VY in the third round.

my first pick would be either LT or steven jackson.

 

I would probably take Young #1 and try to follow that up in the second round with a Brian Urlacher or a Jason Taylor to build the defense around. The QB is such an important position and you can't overvalue a young QB with his kind of abilities

 

The dinosaur qb's are almost dead, and the new legion is moving in. If you were to rank them today. I'd say they go like this...

1. Drew Brees
2. Tony Romo
3. Philip Rivers
4. Carson Palmer
5. Vince Young
6. Matt Leinart
7. Ben Rothlisberger
8. Eli Manning
9. Brady Quinn

IF I had to pick one, I'd take Vince Young only because he is the most fun to watch out of everyone. He's a must see. The others less so. Ben may be the best of the bunch too.

 

He'd be a backup player, seeing as I'd take at least 4 other qb's ahead of him. So not sure, maybe day 2 lol.

 

I'd build the Defense, O-Line and get a Running Back before getting a QB.

 

I know this, my first pick would not be a RB. Realistically how many fewer games would SD have won this year if they had Travis Henry as their RB instead of LT? I doubt that many less.
I also would still take Brady or Manning even though they are older than VY. Manning is 31, Brady 30. You get a pro-bowl QB in his prime and as exciting VY is there are still unknows about his being able to be a complete QB. Also, he isn't going to be running around like he can now when he is 30 IMO. Manning or Brady might have close to the same number of productive years left as VY. Manning never misses games, doesn't get hurt and could easily play until he is 40 if he can stay healthy.

 

In five years Manning will be a sub-par, long in the tooth, immobile quarterback.
