Kiper could prove to be right...

This first round is nuts... I love how we didn't participate in any of it.

At what point do we trade or trade up to get Clausen?

Now, if we can do it with players (AH) that would be great.

That would be a net huge step backwards. I forget who I was listening to but the question was, knowing what you know now, if Albert Haynesworth was in this year's draft where would he be picked? The answer: Without question, #1 overall.

Trading Godzilla for Clausen does not improve the team.

Immediately it's a talent step back for 66% of the defensive snaps, but AH doesn't fit well schematically in a 3-4. But at QB we would be set for 10-12 years, far more important than a DT that will only be productive for 2-3 years max.

I'm all for trading AH if he doesn't fit in the 3-4, but the FO should have done a better job from a PR stand point.

Still, I think he'll be a good DE in the 3-4 with Carriker as the other DE.

Well a lot of teams don't agree with you on your Clausen projection. AH will thrive in any type of base defense if he is used properly. Haslett said he would play linebacker. I believe him.

Only time will tell who was right.

I think that he said COULD play LB because of his versatility

I highly doubt we see him there unless it's one of those DL drop back to confuse the offense type deals

Sammy,

Name me the last Notre Dame QB that made something of himself in the NFL? Hint: former Skins QB. I would kindly skip Clausen and go for someone like Stull, Kafka, Lefevour, Pike, etc. Shoot I would take a shot even with Canfield.

Name me the last OU (Bob Stoops) QB that had NFL success. Your statement has nothing to do with whether Clausen will be a top level NFL starter.

Our answer won't be decided tonight, tomorrow, or in a year.
