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

tootergray34 · 03-22-2010, 03:40 PM

idiots...Mccoy is going to be awful...why are people thinking we would take him? You have to look at the only 3 QB's that we are interested in seeing work out...bradford, clausen, and tebow. It's going to be one of those 3..and with bradford going first, we are taking clausen...best case scenario is trading our 2nd next year to get another first to get an OL...perhaps Iupiati, or B. Campbell, or A. Davis. BUT, we can't miss on Clausen, he is the best prospect at QB in a while, we will be set if we get him.

This is the stupidest thing that I've ever read.

Idiots is a little rough chief. Those workouts mean nothing...Bradford and Clausen workouts are obvious ones since they have the #4 overall pick but they could purposely not schedule a meeting with the QB they like best outside the top guys just to hide their interest. Remember in Denver no one knew Shanny was targeting Cutler.

At this point the Skins front office is playing it very close to the vest. I have a hard time believing that the draft will be any different, leading me to believe that they'll either try to trade down or draft who they believe to be the best available tackle.

Trade down from #4 and pick up an OL at say #13. (Worked out well last year!) And pick up more picks for another tackle later in an acquired #3rd rounder. The first round will apparently be full of very good OL prospects.

Case in point!
With Left Tackle In Flux, Redskins Eye O-Line Prospects

QB is not the issue. The OL, LB, RB, and secondary are issues.

Clausen just aint a bag of chips and all that! I can't think of one BCS championship that he's won.

Key word from my post though is try. It's very difficult to trade down from the top 10. And I wouldn't be so quick to look for the BCS as a measure of a potential franchise QB. God knows that football is not only a team game but the BCS system is messed up beyond belief. If such a system did work then you'd be seeing Kansas and Kentucky battling it out for the national championship in basketball.

Atleast he brought Navy back to prominence.

This idea of trying to pick up a franchise QB for cheap doesn't make sense to me, especially with so many other needs. If the next John Elway, Peyton Manning, or Sonny J is in the draft, then by all means take him! If the guy really is that good, he'll likely be a top 5 pick and worth it. Maybe Bradford is that guy, but nobody else in this draft is. Personally, I think next year, Jake Locker and Ryan Mallett are both better prospects, and we should use all our picks this year on tight ends.

You think a team would trade a first this year for our second next year?

I think that he meant along with our 2nd this year

Well actually the Panthers traded there first rounder for this year last year for San Francisco's second rounder last year.

Hmm . . . "At what point would you Trade Up to get Jimmy Clausen?"

When he bends over and kisses his own ass.

With hard hat made of lit sparklers strapped to his head.

I'm still not sure that Clausen gets past the Bills at pick #9. Whether that is an overdraft or not, that seems to me like reality.

I see, so flexibility is real important to you when looking for a QB.
