Not sure if you already answered this but can you explain your thinking on why Gonzalez is the pick over Boldin in the fourth round?

Posted by IAN ALLAN | May. 25 at 12:22 PM

A much safer pick, in my opinion. Colts will rank in the top 4 in passing yards and touchdowns. Manning is as durable as any quarterback in the league. Plug Gonzalez into that equation and he should be good for about 85 catches and 8-9 TDs. I think he'll be about as good as Wayne. Gonzalez has started eight games in the last two years -- either Clark or Harrison was out, or the team went with the three-receiver look full-time. In those games, Gonzalez caught 41 passes for 639 yards and 4 TDs. He'll start 16 games. On my board, I'm projecting Boldin to be slightly more productive on a per-start basis. But he keeps missing multiple games every year. He takes a lot of punishment with his playing style. Plus you're taking on the headache of him being disgruntled with his contract situation. Does he walk out of camp? Does he get traded to the Ravens? And can the Cardinals keep Kurt Warner healthy? I see Gonzalez as significantly safer, and this is a league with no waiver moves allowed.
