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

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.
