no i'm saying if we WANTED to get him we'd have to be majorily aggressive...not saying we are...i don't think we'll be able to trade any of our players honestly.

maybe rocky...but he's prob. worth a 4th in all honestly...same with campbell.

AH could get a suitor for a 2nd rounder...but I doubt it now that Tenn is out o fhte mix.

Lovin' our Pick

[Dirtbag59]

Sound familiar:

Clady is also versatile, being able to play on the left or the right. With very good technique, he does needsto add strength especially on his lower body). He also needs to work harder in the weight room, as well as working on his run blocking mechanics.

Clady is a top ten talent. Although Jake Long is the top tackle prospect in this year's draft, Clady has the higher pro ceiling. He is a terrific athlete, but is still learning the position. On talent alone, he is above Joe Thomas (last year's top drafted tackle). A top pick for sure, Clady has the ability to contribute right away. He could anchor an offensive line for years.

For just once, I'd like to see us stockpile picks like New England. We always seem to build as if our FO thinks we're only 2 players from being contenders.

I'm not for trading Albert, and I would have been irate if we drafted Claussen off the bat, but I"m shocked he slid out of the 1st..

If you knew Clausen would be available at 37, do you regret the McNabb trade???

Funny how so many people on this board think that "Big Love" Clausen is the next great one but every single team in the league passed on him.

Including Denver passing him to take Tebow as their 3rd stringer. I'm still surprised that he slipped, but like I said the Redskins seemed to have move on the McNabb trade after seeing something in Clausen they didn't like.

Every team passed on Brees and Favre in the first round. Almost all passed on Marino, Dan Fouts was a 3rd rounder. Just because a guy falls in the draft doesn't mean he's automatically garbage. Historically, 2nd rounders haven't fared too well. I expect Clausen will beat the trend like Brees and Favre.

As I said before, it's not just people on this site, the high-profile NFL Draft analysts all expect Clausen to be a good NFL QB.

It's simply amazing when you think about the fact Kiper's early mocks had him going a high as #4 and to who? There were a lot of people on board, but I never believed it because there were people then saying he may not even be taken in the 1st round at all....they were right.

Yeah, its the best thing that has ever happened to Brady Quinn.

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.
