Can We Draft as High as 3rd Overall?

Hopefully a smokescreen and Clausen is the target. We can still get solid OL at the top of the 2nd and there are a couple FA OT available.

Apparently Clausen is a tough SOB.

Jimmy Clausen played for Notre Dame with torn toe ligaments, to have surgery on Tuesday - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft10/news/story?id=4796255)

ESPN is scrolling that stupid "rumor" on their mock draft on the bottom of the screen to promote their ridiculous mock draft. These "arrows" must be incompetent ESPN writers.

If we draft Bradford instead of a lineman, next year could be worse than this season. I think Bruce Allen is smarter than that. Besides, JC should have really impressed him yesterday.
I don't necessarily think that not taking a lineman in the top 5 means that we're going to have a bad season. There are other opportunities to start to make our line competent; Shanny might not even see Okung as an ideal lineman for his scheme and may want another guy anyways. It's not going to be hard to have a better line than last year, unless we keep it exactly the same.

Our line could instantly improve by just cutting Heyer
