And the last pick of the draft for the Cards is....

It was a very good 7th round pick.The only knock on him is that he doesn't have any mobility.Look at the success Michigan QB's have had in the league.I'll tell you right now that he's way more talented than Craig Krenzel who went earlier to Chicago.

I've been touting Navarre on here off and on since last November, however, I ranked him too high....

U. of Michigan QBs generally do better in the NFL than at the college level since the Wolverines typically use more of a rushing oriented offense....

I believe it was best using a lower round pick on QB than risking any of the top 3 rounds since you're not investing much of a long-term and lucractive contract on them.... Navarre could also gradually develop by becoming accustomed to the system opposed to be rushed into a pressure situation...

Isnt King only signed for 1 or 2 years? If that's the case, King is just a stop-gap before Navarre is prepared to become the 2nd string QB....So, I really dont see any negatives with this pick whatsoever....

Good pick. I remember watching the Minnesota v. Michigan game last Fall. I went to Minnesota for a while in undergrad, so I wanted a win for the Little Brown Jug. I was pretty happy when the Gophers were ahead by 28-7 in the third quarter. Then, Navarre scored a 36 yard pass to cut the score down by 7 points. Minnesota scored again in the 4th quarter. It was all Michigan, and in particular John Navarre, the rest of the 4th quarter.
Navarre looked real good to me. It was, I guess, the best comeback in Michigan history. Navarre had something like 355 yards, with 33 completions (a Michigan record). He looked really accurate to me - threw out of the pockect all of the time.
Michigan won 38-35. I was not nearly as happy as I was in the third quarter.
