Now that Peyton Manning has signed, the attention goes to Tim Tebow and the pending sanctions by NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell against the New Orleans Saints. After that, it will all be about the draft.
So much hype will be generated over the next five weeks by all of the "experts" talking about who should be drafted when. One needs only to look at Robert Gallery who the Pats signed the other day.
Gallery was the overall number two pick in the 2004 draft. He was over-hyped as one of the best left tackles ever, but never was able to play the position in the NFL. He moved over to guard.
It should come as no surprise that Al Davis and the Oakland Raiders selected him number two. That franchise has a history of making bad choices. JeMarcus Russell certainly stands out.
Now we have Gallery fighting for a spot on the team. He will compete with Brian Walters who the Pats picked up last season. Waters ended up in the Pro Bowl. The Pats have the guy who was the overall second pick competing against someone who was never even drafted.
So much for getting It right when it comes to judging talent.
