This is from nfldraftcountdown.

What a great pick and the Cardinals might have themselves the steal of the draft in Leinart. This is a great situation for the team in that they now have their long-term solution at quarterback on the field, not to mention a superstar to market off it. It won't be long before Leinart replaces Kurt Warner in the starting lineup and begins to make teams regret passing on him. Just think how many millions of dollars Leinart lost by not coming out a year ago...

I give this draft an A+ after day one. There are some nice picks still waiting to be had in the fourth round as well. Gabe Watson, Max Jean Gilles and Ko Simpson are still there. I can't believe it. Getting Matt Leinart at ten was incredible luck.

Clayton:

2. Arizona Cardinals: Normally, the Cardinals are the bad luck team. Twice this offseason they struck gold. They headed into free agency without the intention of paying big money for a running back. But with a surprising $17.5 million increase in the salary cap, the Cardinals were able to sign Edgerrin James. Then, Matt Leinart was gift-wrapped for them at No. 10. Arizona coach Dennis Green rated Leinart among the top five players in the draft. He said the selection was similar to 1999 when Green was with the Vikings and selected Daunte Culpepper, whom he rated as the No. 1 quarterback in that draft. "We really had him ranked as one of the top five players,'' Green said. Green doesn't have to rush Leinart. Kurt Warner is the starting quarterback, and even though Leinart is the most ready to play of the rookie QBs, he has the luxury to sit and learn. Green loves the fact Leinart throws a very catchable ball, and he knows he won't have a problem preparing a left-handed quarterback. After all, Green coached Steve Young.

Merry Freakin' Christmas Cards fans!!! I cannot believe we got him @ number 10!!! I went to bed early because of the time delay but I am so happy!!!

Now, we just need a seasoned QB to guide him through his first few years.... Hmm...

Poor Navarre though....

Bad day to be Rohan Davie!!!

 

[vinnymac]

rohan dave been making a career by sitting on the bench. basically he made his money on the practice field. not on the playing field. unless you want to count the nfl europe experience for him.
i don't feel sorry for him at all

I forgot they even signed Rohan. In Green's press conference, he talks about the great depth they'll have behind Warner with Leinart and Navarre.

We'll get some use out of Davey's arm in training camp before he's cut.
