In the long run perhaps. Next year? Not likely. Snead needs work on some basic fundamentals. I think he can correct some of his errors but I wouldn't be comfortable at this point throwing him into the starting lineup on opening day 2010.

Snead had a strong weekend but it's just the combine. We (I) shouldn't get too carried away quite yet. Neither with him or Robinson.

Snead would probably be my #2 choice at QB behind Bradford at 1 and Clausen at 1A. Although Snead is climbing for me, 'cause someone here's gotta show him some love! But I wouldn't take him before round 4 (maybe late round 3)

He's going to be a true sophomore next year..not for another 2 years, until he's eligible

According to Casserly, he says that Bradford is the exact type of QB that Mike Shanahan would want. If what they're saying is true and he's Mikes guy for sure, then do you all see us moving up to get Sam at No. 1? I could see us trading Jason and Rocky as well as our 1st rounder for their 1st rounder

Let's hope we don't play that game. We really need all the picks we can get.

Even though Clausen met with the Redskins, I still haven't heard one person I trust say the Redskins have any intention of drafting him. They could be lying, but they never have before. Things could also change between now and April 23rd but I've got to believe that they won't. Further, it wouldn't surprise if this news about Clausen training with VC out in So Cal wasn't leaked by someone inside the Skins and isn't designed to get some team like Seattle to think the Redskins are planning to draft him so they better trade up if they want him

Good, cause i'm not sold on Clausen.

Whats the word on Colt McCoy? I think I remember you saying that they really like him and could easily take him come April.

Yeah well truthfully it's hard to know how seriously to take that and how much of that is just that Kyle Shanahan is tight with McCoy because of their Texas ties. I assume the same with Zach Robinson, KS follows the Big 12 so closely.

I think if they don't take Bradford and they get to round 3 (and the Redskins have a pick) and Colt is available then you might see them take McCoy but not sure it will be before then.

lol at this hand size thing with Clausen... I measured my hands for shits and giggles and my hands are just slightly bigger than his. And I've never had a problem gripping or tossing a football. I can't really palm a basketball, but throwing a football is no problem, and apparently it isn't for Clausen either.

What exactly constitutes a hand-measuring? From what points on the hand/wrist/fingers are they measuring? My hands are oddly large. I'm pretty self-conscious about it actually. I feel like my hands look funny compared to my frame, and I'm 6'3 220. From the tip of my middle finger to the base of my wrist is 9.5 inches (measured yesterday during all this combine nonsense), and I can easily palm a basketball. I have bigger hands than almost everyone I know, and I heard some NFL Network guys talk about how scouts were "disappointed" when a guy didn't have "10 inch hands." Seems to me if you can palm a basketball then catching/throwing a football shouldn't be much of an issue. I mean, do they want pass catchers dragging their knuckles when they walk or something?

I don't think I'd trade Jason Campbell for Sam Bradford in a straight-up trade. I certainly wouldnt trade our 1st, Campbell and Rocky for him. The top of the draft trade chart isnt all that accurate. if we really wanted to move from 4 to 1 and the Rams were really eager to trade down, i'd think Our 1st and 4th round picks plus a marginal player like Malcom Kelly or Rocky McIntosh would be enough to make the trade go through.

[CultBrennan59]

^my scenario is more likely, I think we'll hold on to Malcolm more than Jason

[SmootSmack]

Jevan Freakin' Snead!!!...that's all I have to say
