The Lions grabbed the 1st quarterback from the draft, but the Jets four picks later picked up the #1 quarterback from the same draft. Matthew Stafford will sign the larger contract this time around, but I have a strong feeling that when everything is all said and done, Mark Sanchez will sign more big contracts in the future.

Stafford will just be a footnote to this draft compared to Sanchez. Even Sportscenter opened up their show this evening saying "we all knew Stafford was going #1 but how early did Sanchez get picked up" The commentators as they have the past few weeks want to talk about Sanchez. The airwaves will continue to be filled with Sanchez chatter because everyone except the Lions clearly see that there is something special about the kid.

Yes, Stafford has a very strong arm, but that's not enough to be successful in the league. Tom Brady and Joe Montana didn't have the strongest of arms, but they achieved great success. Those quarterbacks have other intangibles like leadership, ability to read the defenses, and charisma - the same qualities that Mark Sanchez has along with his maturity.

I truly hope that Stafford has a great career. He seems to be a great kid with a lot of talent and good work ethic. I just have a feeling that Sanchez when it's all said and done will have more success.
