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

I'm not sure the Bills are even considering a QB. I think they want to go the vet route. Clausen would be a disaster there, anyway, as they cannot protect the quarterback.

According to SS, Clausen would love to play for Carroll, but I've got to say: if money talks, Whitehurst isn't there to backup someone.

I can't rule out Oakland because you can never rule out Oakland. And I wouldn't sleep on Jacksonville. And there's Kansas City, who is obviously not married to Cassel. And we're so tight to the vest right now that I have no idea if we've stopped considering him or have decided to take him (or anywhere in between). But if he gets to Denver and they don't take him, then commence free-fall.

I said Clausen would love to play for Carroll? I think others have said that. All I've said, I believe, is that Clausen seems to think (though this was before Whitehurst) he could land in Seattle and would love to stay on the West Coast. Though he has also said he spent some time in DC recently and could definitely see himself in a Redskins uniform.

Wouldn't rule out Bills, Raiders, and Jags for JC. Though I still don't expect anything to happen before draft weekend.
