If the Skins do get Clausen & he does not pan out who will be the first to want to run the front office out of town for not addressing the O Line.

Re: At what point would you Trade Up to get Jimmy Clausen?

I wouldn't trade up for Clausen at all, nothing about him excites me. If he falls to us in the 2nd round and we take him, I don't think I'd be thrilled but I wouldn't hate it.

But if we actually used two picks to get him via trade, I'd be pretty upset.

This pretty much sums up my feelings as well, but I think I'd still be initially P.O.'d.

great points, i agree whole heartedly.

in general, everyone needs to relax. theres a month until the draft and we all have officially gone a little crazy with the insults.

I'm not sure there's anyone in this draft I would trade up for (though I would consider selling my soul for CJ Spiller, just saying). I would rather trade down and accumulate more picks.

Re: At what point would you Trade Up to get Jimmy Clausen?

I've never gotten the hatred for McCoy. He's a four year starter with big game experience and several signature clutch performances. There are legitimate questions about his arm strength, but it's not as if the big three qb's in the league - Manning, Brees, and Brady - didn't face similar questions when drafted. Doesn't mean McCoy will be a good player, but for a second round pick I think whichever team takes him will be getting good value and a potentially very good player.

Clausen on the other hand just gives me the willies. He sends my douchebag meter to redalert.

I am firmly in the Clausen's a huge bust waiting to happen group. Just a gut feeling, but something about that kid just screams douchebag to me. So to answer the question, i wouldn't trade up at all to pick him. I'll be pissed if we take him in the draft.

Man, I wish I had read your post before Schneed's, this is EXACTLY how I feel.

I would not trade up for a QB with JC, Sexy Rexy and PJ5 on my squad.

I would actually cut PJ5, convince the NFL to allow him to reenter the draft and trade whatever was needed to get the Rams pick and take him (PJ5) at number 1 overall.

Why would we invest our who draft in the OL when we have other needs?
