Not worth it. Clausen will fall in our laps, and if not there are other good QBs out there that can be starter caliber for us. I think this Bradford/Clausen obsession is rather shortsighted. Very few of the top billed college QBs have panned out in over a decade or have been lackluster thus far. There are at least a dozen solid QB prospects, with most mocks seeing them go in the latter rounds. A great QB behind a terrible line will suck, but a good Qb behind a great line can do wonders. Do you really think Flacco is all the great of an actual QB? He is more of a game manager than a true gunslinger, but his poise and not making mistakes is going to make him a winner behind a solid line and some nice new weapons for next season. Top 2 picks should be O line then either a QB, RB, LB, or even A CB or S.
