2011 NFL Draft

[SmootSmack]

If Quinn isn't there at 10 (I think it's really about 50/50 right now), hopefully we can trade down a few spots and still get a top QB and another pick.

Without free agency we're probably looking at Rex being our starting guy going into the season and maybe Locker backing him up? Maybe not ideal, but not terrible either I suppose. All depends on how good Locker can be

If we really want a particular QB and our preferred QB is there at 10, I think we've got to take him at that spot because there is too much risk that he won't get past Minnesota, Miami, and Jacksonville.

Either we take our guy at 10 or we accept the possibility that we won't get our QB of the future in this draft and trade down with the idea of getting more picks to improve other positions.

Either of these plans would work for me.

If SS is right about our OLine FA prospects the I wouldn't mind drafting Mallett at all in this draft.. He's shown when he has time how good of a QB he can be

Well I mean we're definitely targeting Joseph and Harris and I wouldn't be surprised to see them both on the roster once FA gets resolved, but I don't think even those additions make us the type of OL that merits bringing in someone like Mallet.

Really if not Locker or Ponder, I'd rather just wait until the middle to late rounds and maybe get someone like Stanzi or McElroy (neither of which are franchise guys in my opinion)

He's got a quicker release than people think, I'd take a chance on him

From my understanding, I think the main reason we ended up with Brown (instead of Harris) is because we didn't have a pick that Denver wanted. Now that Denver has made it clear that Harris isn't in their future plans, he's most likely going to end here.

If it does end up that way, it means we spent a 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks on 2 one year rentals. /facepalm

Lol, Mallet needs the following line to protect him.

LT - Ryan Clady
LG - Jhari Evans
C - Nick Mangold
RG - Logan Mankins
RT - Jake Long
TE - Anthony Becht
RB - Clinton Portis

Maybe then he'll have time to throw.

But dude seriously that O-Line woud be BOSS!

Mallet?! You've been living in the Southwest too long. Mallet will be squatting in an abandoned building within three years. Ryan Leaf will be his roommate.

Well technically I'm in the Southeast lol , I just think with a solid line he'd be a really good qb

People I see making those type of boneheaded statements are usually the ones who didn't watch college football. Ryan Mallett huge arm and extremely accurate with the football. If we put a decent offensive line around him I think he can and will be really good.

The story of all the QBs we've had in the past couple of year.

I was just pulling OK's chain a little, for fun. Mallett is pretty good. I said something nice about him in this thread.

I don't really think that Mallett will be homeless within three years. I think he'll be sitting in his rec room with JaMarcus Russell watching the NFL on television.

Ryan Mallett is an extremely talented qb. I would love for us to draft him.
