No way I want either player unless Bradford drops to the second round.

This QB class stinks.

Did anybody else notice that the OK medical staff/trainers never put an icepack on his shoulder ??

Check out Zac Robinson tonight. Someone to keep an eye on, especially if Gruden is our next coach...just saying

Ok to be honest, I think that all the QB's in this years draft aren't THE ANSWER, and the only one that I think is the ANSWER, keeps hurting his shoulder so much that he may not even declare for the draft this year (Sam Bradford). Clausen will be the next Ryan Leaf, IMO. McCoy looks like a system QB. Same thing for Tebow. Zack Robinson looked decent the one game I saw him play, but that was last year, and from what I've heard he isn't projected to be a good NFL QB. Jevan Sneads got an arm, but isn't accurate and isn't good at all with his awful OL, so why would he be good here? Tony Pike makes some pretty bad mistakes, and when I watched him against USF, he threw at least 2 passes that should have been picks. He's a very poor mans Flacco, but not worth a first rounder at all, IMO. Dan LeFlevour is a great running QB, but definitley isn't a first rounder, he's shaky at passing.

So with all that said, our first round pick must be a LT. That leaves Russell Okung of Oklahoma State, Trent Williams of Oklahoma, Anthony Davis of Rutgers, and Bryan Bulga of Iowa.
And from best to worst I would pick them in that order. No QB could survive back in that pocket of ours that our OL creates, so therefore build that before you get the skilled position players.

Wow, big change of philosophy from your "I want to team to lose so we can pick up Tim Tebow/McCoy/or any other QB" days. Kudos.

Well it looked like I didn't need to wish on us losing cause we seem to be doing that just fine. And the guy you seem to be behind got benched, so ya you can definitley add QB to the list of things to get in the offseason, and to protect whoever is back there we need OL first thats why I said the names I said.

These QBs are system guys on NCAA powerhouse squads. They are mostly built on hype, as they are surrounded with loads of talent. SHoot it would be hard for Teebow not to look great when your team is averaging over 300 yards rushing a game. That is one helluva line in Gainsesville, same with Bradford in Norman. Do you really want to draft a guy with a bum shoulder anyway? As for Clausen and Notre Dame? I wouldn't touch a ND QB for the life of me. They play a couple decent teams a year and that is it. Not saying ND stinks, but they would be a 4-6 loss team if they were in the SEC, PAC 10, or Big 12. The guys you draft are like the Bradys, McNabbs, Flaccos, and Ryans. The guys that are very good in college, but don't garner the ridiculous amount of coverage in the media.

Fordham QB guts Cornell | stargazette.com | Star-Gazette

Tony Pauline: Top '10 draft prospects on offense - 09.03.09 - SI Vault

And with the right coaching, I think Rusty Smith could be a sleeper as well

Do you think Skelton would slide to the second round?

Wasn't Joey T a ND QB?

Joey T was a ND QB when ND was a true powerhouse. After they canned Devine as HC they went downhill. Lou Holtz brought them back, but the idiots canned him also and it has really been downhill ever since. The teams ND played perenially like Michigan, Mich St, Pittsburgh, the academies were all strong or respectable opponents back then. Now that group is not so hot. Weiss is a decent coach, but playing shitty opponents doesn't impress me. The Big Ten is weak this year. Iowa and Penn State are the front runners now. MIch and OSU are flawed and would be 4-6 loss teams in the SEC or Big 12.
