he didn't say a high pick.. but yeah

What would you guys think if Shanahan drafted Jimmy Clausen with our first round pick?

That would be a WTF moment for me... And I wouldn't be able to get over it unless Jimmy Clausen turned out to be the franchise quarterback we needed all along.

We are trading for Sage Rosenfels I believe.

If we trade down a bit that might work.. but who knows if Seattle or somebody would pick him up.

As Smoot has reported there are some trade rumors about us bringing linemen in. As long as we get them in, I'll be fine. If we think that we can have a solid O-Line and have a better chance at QB this year with our draft position I can understand that, can't have a 1 year strategy.

If we traded down, picked up multiple day 1 and day 2 picks and selected Jimmy Clausen (among other players) sure that'd be fine by me.

Not sure how much McNabb would like that though

I think what will more realistically happen is our 4th or 5th round selection will be a QB
