Yeah, but who would have thought he'd slip into the second round? No one predicted that. McNabb was a more prudent move at the time.

And still is the prudent move, imo. Clausen's an unknown quantity and it seems a good amount of teams that needed qb's weren't impressed enough to take him in the first.

McNabb's good for another few seasons and we know what we're getting.

McNabb is still the more prudent move no matter where Clausen goes.

I am not ready to sit out of NFL trash talking for 3 additional years after last year.

I mean, while you couldn't have predicted that not one team would trade up into the first round to get Clausen, I don't think it was unfathomable to think that any team who wanted to move up from the top end of the second could get him easily. This is still the case. The 33rd pick is likely going to be a QB with Minnesota sitting there, someone is going to trade for the Rams' pick, and anyone who wants Clausen/McCoy is going to be all over that.
