What are the chances of getting a Franchise QB who's a junior in the first round? From what I've read only 2 of the last 15 taken in the first round were.

I can't get the link to work and I'm too tired to list them. Look up, History: Drafting Junior QBs in 1st Round of NFL Draft. It's a really good article. Maybe you can post it Dirtbag. I'm a little....

I think they missed a few give me a second.

Aaron Rodgers

As a junior, Rodgers led California to the No. 4 regular season ranking.
After the season, Rodgers entered the 2005 NFL Draft

Rex Grossman

Grossman decided to forego his final year of collegiate eligibility and declared for the NFL Draft. Grossman achieved many feats during his collegiate career, including either breaking or approaching many of the records set by Danny Wuerffel,

A Historical Perspective on the Unsuccessful History of Drafting Junior QBs in the First Round

[Skins4L]

Im kind of dreading who we select first round. I want OL.

Im more interested on later round picks...

if we land DEXTER MCCLUSTER ill be as happy as it gets.

I thought this was kind of crazy. I know scouting reports are frequently wrong but JC's was pretty spot on:

Strengths: Has good overall size and the frame to get even bigger. Is a smooth athlete with above average foot quickness. Show good quickness in his drops. Long legs and gets a deep drop because of stride. He does not have elite arm strength but he is strong enough to make all the NFL throws.

Better zip when throwing right. At his best working short-to-intermediate zones. Shows good touch and timing. His delivery is one of the areas he's most improved. Much more compact and has a high release point. He did not make a lot of big plays on his own at the collegiate level but he really developed into a caretaker.

A quiet leader but came into his own as a senior. Extremely hard working and coaches have nothing but good things to say regarding his intangibles. Is a mild-mannered QB that doesn't seem to get over-excited. Also has become much less volatile in face of pass rush.

Weaknesses: Long accuracy continues to stand out as a problem. The deeper the throw the less consistent he is. Field vision is improved but still not good. Doesn't see entire field, misses too many open WR's. Is a better than average athlete and good scrambler but not a big threat to run. Lacks explosive top-end speed and elusiveness.

Summary: Campbell is a coaches son who also stared in basketball in high school. He became the first freshman to start the season opener at quarterback for Auburn since Stan White in 1990. Campbell started eight games in 2001, six games in 2002 and all 13 games in 2003.

He had by far his best season as a senior in 2004 when he completed 69.6-percent of his passes for 2,700 yards and threw 19 touchdowns and just six interceptions, while leading the Tigers to a perfect 13-0 record.

Campbell has always had excellent size, good athletic ability and above average arm strength, but his poor decision making skills, lack of poise in the pocket, indecisiveness and erratic arm haunted him early in his collegiate career.

Throughout his first three seasons as a starter, Campbell consistently held onto the ball too long, threw too many passes up for grabs when he ran out of time, missed open receivers downfield and overthrew too many of the receivers that he did find open.

However, No player improved his draft value more in 2004 than Campbell. After struggling through three extremely inconsistent and unfulfilling seasons, Campbell thrived as a senior in what was his fourth offensive scheme in four years. New offensive coordinator Al Borges found the right fit for Campbell, as his West Coast scheme simplified things and gave Campbell a lot more definitive reads to make.

As his confidence improved, so too did his production. Most impressive was Campbell's improvement in regards to his decision-making skills, as he threw 13 more touchdowns (19) than interceptions (6) in 2004. Campbell has the physical tools of a first round pick but there are still questions about his downfield accuracy and ability to see the entire field. That's why we grade Campbell out as a solid second round prospect.

screw Quarterback. We should go with the almost guarenteed potential Okung. But what about CJ Spiller? It appears risky but we could be passing up a gem.

who knows... Shanny might like him? its just we need youth and talent at OL so badly.

found this video of clausen - after the BC game.

intresting and i like it. did what he did then walked away. the walking away is the part i like, shows he got some fight to him but enough self control to walk away.

other young college players probably would have gotten all heated and turned it into something bigger a la blount.

So you want the safe pick in Okung but you're willing for us to draft Reggie Bush redux at 4?

Great stuff. I like how he's a firey guy. Personally I can't remember the last time we had that type of guy under center. Either one, Bradford or Clausen will be a great fit here. Campbell is good but he's getting very close to reaching his potential which unfortunately is probably good enough to only get us as far as the NFC Championship if we're lucky.

Clausen is going to be on NFL Live today, talking about prep for the combine.

Exactly how do you measure that?
