Do you think he could be better or equal to what is coming out of college with the exception of Luck?

Actually someone made a good comment below that article. They said why would CAR say anything different and devalue that pick. Of course they are going to say that they might get someone desperate enough to give them the farm.

Makes sense, since the guy is earning such rave reviews. I think the possibility of them trading out of that pick makes sense too. It will cost them big $ to sign the #1 pick & a head coach, and I'm sure they'd like to have some picks to build on.

What's scary is the team w/the most ammo to do it is New England. They could package a no. of 1st day picks & draft Luck to groom him to replace Brady. That kind of trade would be out of character for NE, but finding a replacement for Brady wouldn't be.

Clausen isn't accurate and doesn't have a big arm.. NO he's not better than Mallett or maybe even Gabbert

Not really, what matt just said is 100% correct. The Panthers want the whole league to think they are drafting Luck regardless. If they say they are building around Claussen then the Luck trade market begins at #2 instead of #1. No way they let another team have that windfall. Luck will be #1 overall either to Carolina or whoever pays the price.

I'm a firm believer that a talent like that doesn't come around too often and would pull a Ditka. Build the Vinny way for 2 seasons through FA. The tough part is the lockout next year screwing up FA.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

tHE Skins don't have enough ammo to move up 9 spots.. We only have a few star players as is, and no draft picks.. We might as well forget the possibility of Luck

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

[quote=T.O.Killa;775074]My latest theory is that we will trade up with the Broncos and Take Locker. [/quote]

Why would we trade up for a player that is going to have a very very very very hard time staying in the first round?

He had an awful year, doesn't see the field very well and is not that accurate. Basically you couldn't ask for a bigger risk translating to the NFL game and there isn't a single GM that will consider him in the top ten.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Could you imagine Luck in NE? Jeez!

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

We won't have to trade up for Locker

They stockpile picks like a DAMN savings acct......

Re: 2011 NFL Draft
 

Just a thought:

When has LUCK ever been the Redskins' thing? Never, at least not since '65 when I started watching them. So forget it, LUCK is not coming to town. No way.

Unfortunately.

Mallett looks good So far on a big stage

Looks good, had at least 3 passes dropped by the WR's. He's tall and slender (will need more muscle in the pro's) he reminds me of a young Todd Collins.

His footwork is underrated, hes not very mobile but he can move around in the pocket pretty well, big arm I like him as a QB.. Kinda Flacco like also
