After that-not sold on Pike, think Snead could make a good pro but have concerns about his mental toughness, not sure Zac Robinson can be an everydown QB, think Dominic Randolph might not be tough enough, and have some doubts about Skelton's maturity level (from some reports I've heard).

I think the one guy I most want is Jonathan Dwyer, RB from Georgia Tech, but not in the 1st round of course.

I'd ideally like to get Bradford/Clausen in the 1st, USC OT Charles Brown in the 2nd and then hope to trade into the late 2nd/early 3rd and get Dwyer

Living in Mississippi I've seen a lot of Snead and I think he should wait a year IMHO. He just does not seem ready for prime time.

He must be up and down because when I've seen him he hasn't looked that good. Maybe I haven't seen enough of him.

Agreed, but at the same time if he does come out he's probably a mid-rounder. Shanahan could take him and develop him while starting Campbell for one more year-which isn't all that unlikely.

Shanahan is definitely drafting a QB this year. I just don't know where

Is there a reason for your certainty other than "new regimes mean new QB's"?

Too many people telling me he's drafting a QB for me to not think it's true. But I've heard it could be the 1st round, could be the 2nd, could be as late as the 4th.

Although I'd love to take a stud LT at #4, I'm warming to the idea of taking a QB high. Heath Shuler and Norm Snead were our only attempts to draft an elite QB in the last 50 years. Maybe it is time for a change in "strategery."

I'm not entirely convinced that there is a stud LT at #4. I think we could get someone just as good in round 2.

If we don't take a QB or LT I suppose Berry is possible if he's there though I haven't really heard much indicating we're interested. And I'd still say keep an eye on Rolando McClain. Still it's very very early.

Well if we do take a QB with the 4th pick then I think Jimmy Clausen is the best for our team. He played under Charlie Weiss and he is more ready for the pros than Bradford, McCoy, or Tebow. I like Tebow but he will be a project for a team to develope in the NFL. I would rather trade out at number 4 pick and aquire more picks than use our pick on a QB who may or may not start in 2010. I rather draft Okung if he is their if not maybe a game changing player who can come in a have a impact from jump street.

That's the ESPN company line.

I don't think Snead should leave school early. He had huge expectations on him this year, and he was pretty much a dud. He could improve his draft stock significantly if he sticks around Ole Miss for his senior year, plus he won't have the likes of Bradford, McCoy, Clausen, and Tebow to compete with. I mean this season his completion % was in the low 50's and he threw 20 INTs. I want no part of that dude.

I wonder what he was told about his expected draft position. Seems like a mistake to my non-expert eyes.
