As a Notre Dame fan who watched every single down Clausen played I must say some of you are under rating him.

Also blaming Clausen for Notre Dame's struggles these past few seasons is ludicrous since Clausen didn't play a single down on defense and that defense under Charlie Wies was pathetic. Defense was absolutely the reason why the Irish's record has been mediocre. Clausen can make all of the NFL throws and due to playing behind a rather pathetic offensive line at ND and getting hammered for three years is one tough kid who is very durable(unlike Bradford who seems to be made of glass). Blaming Clausen for ND's losses is in all honesty quite comical and absolutely ridiculous.

Now for the draft....I wouldn't take Clausen at #4 not because he isn't worth that pick but because the Skins OFFENSIVE LINEMEN above all else. If he dropped to us in the 2nd round I'd take him before they announced whom was on the clock but I wouldn't trade away any other picks to get up to get anyone because this team needs all of the picks it has because Curato/Snyder have spent over a decade giving draft picks away.
