Around SBN: SB Nation NFL Power Rankings for Week 11

Wednesday Walk Around the NFL: 6.24.09

Wednesday_walk_468_medium

Another Wednesday has arrived boys and girls, and it's time to take a look at the stories making headlines around the NFL, but first let me apologize for not being around much lately. The NHL Draft is literally consuming my life, and I am getting ready to make the trip to Montreal on Friday to cover the Draft for SBNation. But I'm ready for a brief respite from hockey, so let's talk some football.

Finally, I am once again following in Ed's footsteps (he'll never shake me), and doing a radio show tonight on Blog Talk Radio at 6 PM. One of my co-writers Joe Fortunato will be joining me, should be a lot of fun. If you have a chance, give it a listen, and feel free to call in to chat about the Rangers, NHL Draft, and if you really want to cheese off Joe, the Giants and Mets. (He's an Eagles-Yankees fan)

Eagles and Yankees?

wow…that’s terrible.

Also, at least what you linked to is actual tangible news about Favre. I don’t mind that kind of stuff, I’m just sick of the “will he/won’t he” game.

Farve

How awful is that for GB fans to see a purple-clad Farve. I could only compare it to seeing Strahan in green I think.

it's a little different

because it’s not a player, but I felt betrayed when Parcells signed with Dallas.

NBC's best an worst moves

I think i’ll have to disagree with the Jets and Lions assessments. I’m not going to pretend to be a draft expert here, but, WAS there a consensus overall number one? Who was arguably the best QB of the draft? With the hype surrounding both Stafford and Sanchez, the margin seemed pretty narrow. Besides, any pick from #1-#32 can invariably be a boom or bust!

NBC’s suggestion that taking Stafford was bad (and not taking Curry) all the while giving high praise to the Jets who jumped up 12 spots to take Sanchez (4 slots lower)? Who’s the idiot if they both become bust? You can spin this in other ways, but given the Lions situation, you have to take this chance, right? You didn’t give up anything trying to find out. Whereas the Jets were willing to deal picks to find out!

If i remember correctly, the only bad thing the Lions did do, was not drafting any OL entirely. Perhaps with their 2nd-1st rounder they could’ve addressed this. But i’m thinking that getting Pettigrew could be a welcomed target for a lackluster receiving corp and especially for any QB?!

Yeah, they could’ve taken one of the OT’s to build their line upon and go with Culpepper, but perhaps by taking Stafford, they’re thinking that we’ll throw Culpepper in there and let Stafford learn for a year, then, we’ll patch up the OL next year! lol
