Clausen would make sense for the Vikings. If they don’t take him I guess he’s out of the first round.

It’s just another shining example of his drafting ineptitude. He gave up our 1st this year for a 2nd round bust last year to boost our practice squad, and now he gives the farm to do… this. Pat Bowlen HAS to see this as a huge mistake. He can’t be that stupid… right?

Never thought I’d see the draft where the Broncos failed worse than the Raiders.

I’m guessing Minnesota is gonna snatch up Clausen. It couldn’t cost that much to move from #38 to #28, so I guess Holmgren was being honest when he said he didn’t like him. I wonder if that means he was being honest when he praised McCoy… at least Clausen has the physical tools, I’m a bit scared.

Good guess. I said it during the Cutler fiasco and everything McD has done since has only solidified my stance.

I’m gonna sneak into Broncos HQ with a super-soaker filled with skunk juice and just go to town.

I always turn the volume way up for every Jets pick. Favorite part of the draft. I like to feel the boos.

I might. What are the terms? How will we define “better career”? What time span does the bet cover?

And good for Tebow. He will make a good NFL QB. So will Clausen, but I’m betting Tebow will surprise a lot of naysayers.

If you want to stop the run, I wouldn’t be either.

Kyle Wilson is a good pick. Him, Revis, and Cromartie make a pretty solid secondary.

I’m disappointed in the reaction though. I was hoping for something more lively. Ah well…

I’m completely versatile. QB rating? Pro Bowls? Yardage passing? Career length? As long as there is an out in case of injury, I’ll probably be game.

I was hoping the Eagles would move up to get Wilson or that he might somehow fall to them early tomorrow.
