Oh I don't question that Stafford is a top ten pick. He is a top 3 QB available coming out, and I'm pretty sure there will be at least two teams in the top 10 spots that'd need a quarterback. My contention is Stafford isn't a #1 overall pick. Neither is Sanchez, just to clarify that. Considering Chase Daniel was a strong Heisman candidate last season and he seems to have gotten even better this season thus far, I don't see why Daniel couldn't be the first quarterback taken. Don't forget, there WILL be people claiming that Georgia is where they are because of Moreno, not Stafford. It'd be harder to argue against Daniel's part in Missouri's success, because the only other guy that can claim responsibility is the guy catching Daniel's passes. I suppose with Herm Edwards, Stafford would make a better piece in his offense whereas Daniel would be more suited for a team like Minnesota, but I wouldn't be surprised if Kansas City wanted the local star.
All in all, this is a silly debate.
Two common complaints you'll probably hear:
1. Doesn't have the "measurables" (particularly his 6 foot frame).
2. Didn't play in a "traditional pro-style offense".
