Trading away 1st 2nd and 4th rounders to get a first rounder to take him?

Yeah there is that...

What a great first round
I figured we would have to choose between a franchise QB or a franchise LT

I bet we grab Mays
Calling it now.
2/3 of the world is covered by water. The rest is covered by Marcus Trufant.
Morgan or Clausen at #14.
I’m thinking Morgan now. And I’d be very happy with either.
The Seahawks have traded my signature to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick.
I would be mad if i were a Charger fan.
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
So we will get to choose between two of Earl Thomas, Jimmy Clausen, or Derrick Morgan.
This could be awesome.
CLAUSEN CLAUSEN CLAUSEN CLAUSEN
YOU WANTED HIM ONCE PETE
Now is the time for a franchise QB
It's Great to be a Florida Gator!
My draft hopes:
#6-Jimmy Clausen #14-Charles Brown #60-Major Wright
Morgan please...
Or Clausen…
The Seahawks have traded my signature to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick.
Wouldn't it be hilarious
if the Eagles drafted Clausen.
If we trade out.
Then not to mad. But otherwise pissed.

If Thomas is gone
I hope the Hawks go for Bryant or trade down. Not really sold on Clausen at 14
He's a good risk at 14
One I think we have to take

Months of mock drafting haven't helped me decide if I want Clausen at 14 or not...
AAAAAH so torn…
Though they sink through the Sea, they shall rise again...Death shall have no dominion...
Or grab a 2nd if possible.
With all these teams moving up and reaching, you can exploit teams desperate for a certain player.
yeah but we got a franchise LT and a franchise QB

Huh
I’m beginning to think Mel Kiper Jr and the rest of these experts have no clue whats going on.
Strange.
Bills are stupid.
I’m just jealous though.
Clausen?
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Clausen should be a no-brainer
Earl Thomas is good, but we can grab Rolle on Saturday. CLAUSEN.

TAKE HIM, PETE!!

Spiller and Ryan gone ....
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Pete cannot pass Clausen

Anyone except Tebow and Taylor Mays is acceptable at #14.

Earl Thomas.

If not Clausen then
Derrick Morgan, Dan Williams, or Earl Thomas would be nice
Get well Greg! Rip City is still behind you!
Take Baluga
Plug him in at right tackle

I'm not mad about this at all. Thomas is great.
We still need a QB though

#6-Jimmy Clausen #14-Charles Brown #60-Major Wright
Wow.
Thomas fills a need with an outstanding player. Okung fills a need with an outstanding player. Maybe Dan Williams will drop to 60
Exactly.
Excellent draft so far.

He's not even 6 foot...
he’s fast enough to make up for it, but he doesn’t jump well either.
Good instincts for a Saftey though.
I worry all this "instincts" bluster is just Mayock's way of saying Thomas had 8 picks last season.
That’s…not going to translate.
I know it won't fully...
but some guys really do have a knack for finding the ball. He agressive, and might be a better CB than S with his speed.
Curious why your opinion of Mayock is so low
Especially in regards to his evaluation of Thomas.
He has probably watched every snap Earl Thomas has taken, and he came away impressed. Mayock himself was a safety in the NFL and has since garnered a pretty good reputation evaluating NFL talent. I highly doubt he just looked at a stat sheet, saw “8 picks,” and decided he was instinctive.
Morgan Clausen Thomas all great players - or Dez or Wilson :)
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
Thanks god we can stop talking about Clausen now.
by Kevaru on Apr 22, 2010 6:03 PM PDT reply actions 1 recs
Well he's from ND, so he's going to follow the exact same career path as Rick Mirer.
Common knowledge and all.
Leave it to Mayock to get me hyped about Thomas again.

Bleh, should've traded down but okay
Obviously they think Whitehurst is their guy
Chargers smoked em for Matthews
He’s always open. He catches a lot of balls. He’s un-guardable, no matter how old he is
We needed a safety.
Earl Thomas is good. Cool.
hes on the phone
thats a sign. of what i dont know
YES!!!!!! THIS IS AWESOME!

Honestly, the Okung pick was a no-brainer
And the Thomas pick was just alright. I’d say wait til the draft is over.
It's hard to screw up when the draft goes that well for us.
I mean, anyone we could have possibly hoped would fall to us did except for Spiller.
Now with more lemon bars!

Would’ve given it an A+ with Clausen

I don't know about that.
We just gave up quite a bit for Whitehurst. He needs a shot. I’d love Clausen, but Thomas is a perfect fit as well.
Yeah but Whitehurst is 28
Even if he’s good, he’s not going to be good for long
by BrettJMiller on Apr 22, 2010 6:14 PM PDT up reply actions
But would give us the option to get someone next year.
In a more financially friendly draft.
by Scruffy Lefty on Apr 22, 2010 6:15 PM PDT up reply actions
If he's just a stopgap we could've gotten someone else without giving up picks
And he’s going to take time to get better.
Huh? Lots of QB's produce until their mid-30's.
That’s seven years from now for Whitehurst, and he’s seen very little on the field action in his time in the NFL.
Yeah, certainly too early to write him off
Bit of a long shot, but let’s see how he does

Eagles fan just e-mailed me
And said “I’m jealous. We’re dumb.” after we got Thomas.
This feels great.

by Generzal Zod on Apr 22, 2010 6:16 PM PDT up reply actions
Because I want Jimmy Clausen.
This isn’t a difficult thing to grasp.
Seems like we had the right priorities
The O-line was in a tatters, so the first pick had to go towards fixing it. Not sure about going with a Safety in the 1st round, but he seems like a good one. Since we have our two new charity cases for WR, I’d have liked to see us possibly trade down toward taking a RB. Or just trade down period. In this draft, a handful of 2nd and 3rd rounders might be more valuable than a single 1st round choice.
So who is going to play strong safety for us?
if Thomas is going to play Free Safety
Maycock on Berry, he watched a shit ton of snaps and this is his assessment:
in his highlights he's basically uncontested
they couldn’t find anything better?
Doubt either
Arizona still has What’s-his-name that they seem to mostly be happy with now that he got his jitters out. Minnesota just resigned their backup QB and are still in the annual FavreWatch to see what he does. I doubt they’ll make a move for a starting QB while he’s still on the fence.
Who cares about Clausen, we missed our chance, get over it
by MICHAEL MCGLYNN on Apr 22, 2010 6:17 PM PDT up reply actions
Relax, man.
Because I’m interested in the draft?
Because I care about who leads opposing NFC west teams for the next decade?
Sorry to infringe on your precious internet time.
Clausen to Crabtree would be a marvel. Too bad it's in our division.
Because let’s face it, Clausen can’t learn anything good from Alex Smith.

I honestly don't think the 49ers will take Clausen.

Long time reader, frist time poster
Does the Clausen slide remind anybody of when Brian Brohm slipped for no apparent reason? It seems like almost every year one of these QB’s ends up going way later than anybody thought they would..
I thought Brohm was a big deal as a junior but choked a bit as a senior
and thus his stock dropped a lot.
Welcome to Field Gulls.
I’m certain Brohm was never a top 10-15 pick when he was in the draft. This is weird though.
The Seahawks have traded my signature to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick.
Well a lot of teams just don't need a QB.
If Clausen fell past 17 he was likely to fall a bit, still surprising though.
Not sure Brohm slid that far
consensus was that him and/or Henne would go early 2nd. He slid to mid 2nd.
I think he was referring to Ford Field and Best...
not sure that FF is concrete though I know it’s got Field Turf over top of it.
Oh right, field turf.
Forgot that it’s not quite that hard stuff anymore.
At some point, if Seattle sees anything at all in Clausen
They have to take the risk. It’s foolish to bank on Hasselbeck and Whitehurst.
But that's the question. Do they see anything in the guy?

I'm going to be pissed if Whitehurst ends up costing us Clausen.
I can’t imagine how you don’t think Clausen is a better prospect then Whitehurst, and grabbing him at the tail end of the 1st round, beginning of the second? He’s going to be cheeeap. So he can’t even hurt the franchise if he busts.
Now with more lemon bars!
What does that cost
If they trade up to say, the first pick tomorrow? I have no idea at all.
A 1st rounder next year
or the rest of our draft this year? Something like that I’d guess.
Now with more lemon bars!
Well, we'd have to move from 60 to 37 or so (Philly's) to get ahead of Cleveland.
So, 60 and a fourth rounder this year + something from next year.
Lots. But it would be worth it.
I'd bank on a super strong class next year
we can get one of Locker, Luck, Mallet at the top. There will be some other quality QB’s next year as well.
I think all three of those guys look better than Bradford or Clausen
maybe not Luck, since he’s going to be a So. and all. But the class should end up better.
Complete Agree
As has been demonstrated amply tonight, most teams are set at QB. We can package and take one of the big three next year. All of whom are rated higher than Bradford was this year.

I think it is fair to say that trading Whitehurst cost us any chance at grabbing an interesting player who fell out of the first.

Wouldn’t count on it though.
There's a good chance he was the best QB in the draft.
To take him in the 2nd round would be an insane steal.

I don’t think there’s a very good chance he was anymore. You think Bradford would have fallen to the 2nd if the Rams had picked Clausen? Not that that proves anything, but it shows who teams value more.

some “draft experts” think that is what caused some of these juniors to come out early

Depending on how the season shakes out we could get Locker
Luck seems like the most pro-ready

We have 0 skill position players so far
and our DL isn’t looking so hot. I don’t mind our 1st round picks, but I doubt they’ll improve the team much next year. This could easily be a team that sucks next year but (if the players develop) could be poised for a break out year the year after next.
Now with more lemon bars!
At this point I think that we'd have to finish with 2 or fewer wins to get Locker.
We’re bad, but I don’t think we’re that bad.
a lot of that depends on next year Brian Brohm was projected to be no. 1 overall

Locker has all the phycical skills that make teams drool though
Like Bradford and Tebow. That’s what mostly counts, I’m seeing.
by B.B.Finnegan on Apr 22, 2010 8:14 PM PDT up reply actions
True the spread has kind of done that for QB prospects
I’m also seeing that a pro-style doesn’t matter. Even if we don’t get Locker, Mallett, and Luck are going to be good.

I hate that we're talking about Locker already
I remember fans talking about Brady Quinn at #1 about 365 days before he was drafted, way down the board. So much can happen it seems silly.
I have very
very little faith in Whitehurst. I think he’s going to crash and burn bad. It’s going to take one hell of a spring and summer to convince me otherwise. And our RB situation isn’t pretty (I love Forsett, but he’s not a feature back). And defensively, our line is still in shambles. We still have some picks to clean up some more holes, but I’d only count on the 2nd rounder. That still leaves some big holes.
So what I’m saying is, yea I can see us being that bad. It’d require playing below our talent level, but I can still see it.
Now with more lemon bars!
That is what I am thinking
we will be better but the 49ers got a lot better tonight too.

Ryan Mallet is a 6-7 kid with a cannon
he should be able to boost his stock (maybe above Locker) with a solid season.
Andrew Luck from Stanford has the size, smarts and tools and should be a first rounder.
I like Andy Dalton from TCU as a sleeper. Good size, adaquate arm strength and good mobility.
Mallet has a little bit of an advantage because he has to face tough defenses
and I love my Ducks and am an avid Pac-10 apologist, that ain’t our strong suit.

Clausen to the Vikes at 34 at this rate.

The Seahawks have traded my signature to the Detroit Lions for a 6th round draft pick.
WHAT OFF THE FIELD ISSUES?

Assuming
They are talking about his Arrogance. I guess everyone sees him as another R. Leaf. shrugs
I don't see his arrogance as a problem, he's a good player and knows it
The bluster when he went to ND was the result of putting a microphone infront of an 18 year old. If you don’t feel like you can take over the world at that age you have problems.

Yea
that’s why I really really want Clausen. But even if we don’t get him, a QB next year could be set up for success as well.

Very productive first round
filled two holes with excellent talent.
We can fill RB and WR holes in later rounds where sleeper athletes can be had.
Locker is messin up my Locklear
Fuck it, trade up for Clausen, draft Locker and put him on the right side.

So... big question of the day...
who is the odd man out on the OL? Spencer, Unger, Willis?
Nobody.

You know, overall I thought Carroll and company did a good job.
Would be nice to have that 40th pick and have a better shot at Clausen, but as far as this draft goes I was impressed. I really thought there was a chance Carroll had a McDaniels like draft.
What the shit?
Where did Mora’s beady eyes come from?
Is he trashing the stupidity of taking Okung and Thomas over a QB prospect

It was an excellent day for the Seahawks. It won't matter unless the team finds a quarterback, but for talent, great, great first day.
I’ll start with Okung tomorrow.
I'm excited to hear what you think about Thomas.
He seems like a very chic pick and I’m always leery of chic.
I've watched a lot of Texas's games this year
and he’s really good – Texas also usually produces good db’s

We were all pretty divided on Clausen
Even if we don’t take a QB this draft will be remembered by the team for a long time, which is nice because it seems like a while since that has happened.
I wish Cops was on...
Been a while since we've had one top 15 1st round pick (excluding last year)
let alone two.
Now with more lemon bars!
Alright so we made major improvements to our O-line and secondary
Next, defensive line! Price falling to 60, please!
I have a question for you guys.
Let’s say you were GM today, and you had the chance to pick at 6 and 14 with what was available. Who would you take? No trades.
Me:
6 Okung
14 Clausen
Okung and Clausen in that order
but I’m definitely not disappointed by who we got today.
I was torn between Okung and Clausen/Okung and Spiller/Okung Thomas

by Generzal Zod on Apr 22, 2010 8:55 PM PDT up reply actions
regardless Okung was consensus no. pick if he was around

Yip, me too
Maybe, maybe Okung and trade, but only for a really good offer, and with so many trades it’s hard to get the best deal
by Thomas Beekers on Apr 22, 2010 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions
Probably the same for me
though I’m not sure. Whitehurst kind of pigeon holes you into not taking a QB. So I might have gone with something else. I’m definitely not disappointed with what we got.
Now with more lemon bars!
I think they are sold on WHitehurst

by Generzal Zod on Apr 22, 2010 8:56 PM PDT up reply actions
I know I am opening myself to serious criticism, but I am not the person to evaluate QB talent
I guess the question is what does he have that they didn’t see in Clausen. If they wanted Clausen they could have had him and they passed.
I wish Cops was on...
by Generzal Zod on Apr 22, 2010 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions
Well once you get Whitehurst it's pretty hard to get Clausen.
For all we know they thought Clausen would be gone by the time they picked at 14, and they didn’t like him enough to grab him at 6. And once he was available at 14, it’s pretty hard for a front office to say, “You know, I like Clausen a lot at 14. Let’s grab him even though we spent picks and $ on Whitehurst.” I wanted Clausen, but I never expected us to get him once Whitehurst was grabbed.
Now with more lemon bars!
Yep.
Whether right or wrong, the team threw its weight behind Whitehurst, has been working with Whitehurst, has made promises to Whitehurst. If they picked Clausen at 14, it would seem uncertain and duplicitous.
He wasn't going to cost a 1st round pick, for one
But Whitehurst has a better arm and more mobility than Clausen. Clausen is kind of like Alex Smith in that he doesn’t have great physical tools for a top QB prospect, and I’d guess that combined with his apparent attitude problems turned teams off.

I grew up in Texas and the only thing I took from there was a love for the Longhorns and acoustic blues (not the candy ass Starbucks7piece horn section blues festival shit)
so anyway I guess I’d be happy if we got McCoy or Houston

He was a risk
In a way we made safe picks with players every one is predicting to be “sure things”, Carroll has to show progress especially as Allen’s health deteriorates and this team is run like the Blazers.

by Generzal Zod on Apr 22, 2010 9:26 PM PDT up reply actions
I wasn't comparing them as players
Just their physical tools. Clausen doesn’t have anything that stands out physically, and his accuracy is worse than Bradford. That combined with his attitude/maturity issue (or whatever) makes him not that appealing, there’s nothing too special about him.
These are just my opinions and they could be totally wrong. I just think people are too hung up on the whole “He played in a pro style offense” thing in this case, since most of the other QB’s in this class were in the spread. There’s nothing (to me) special about Clausen.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions
I'd say he looks pretty special.
His accuracy at the combine was almost immaculate, and his completion percentage is a hell of a lot better than “next one” Jake Locker’s. His arm is not Elway’s but it’s just fine and easily that of Bradford’s. He has a pile of experience and came back to win multiple games, under the pressure of playing for a crappy Notre Dame team.
I pretty much disagree with all of that
He didn’t throw at the combine, so I don’t know what you mean with that. If you mean his pro day, it’s pretty silly to judge a QB’s accuracy based on scripted throws to receivers with no pass rush or DB’s.
I don’t know what Jake Locker has to do with this. You don’t simply grade QB’s off of their completion percentages in college. Colt McCoy had an incredible completion percentage and I think he’s an extremely overrated prospect, he just doesn’t have the tools to be very successful in the NFL from my perspective. Clausen doesn’t have Bradford’s accuracy IMO.
His arm strength is okay (and yes, I think it’s worse than Bradford’s), but it’s not equal to the prototypical top 10 pick. Watch how much air he has to get under most of his deep balls.
He is experienced, I’ll give him that, although not incredibly so. I don’t care about how many games he won or cameback from very much, and his offensive teammates were absolutely not crappy, they were actually pretty good.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 10:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Ok
Let’s just agree to disagree then. I’m tired of talking and thinking about Jimmy Clausen.
by Brendan Scolari on Apr 22, 2010 11:19 PM PDT up reply actions
actually, completion percentage is a pretty damned good way to judge
as I believe I’ve read here.
Unless it's a spread offense...
which inflates the completion percent.
I'm happy.
Talents that I covet:
Ndamukong Suh, Gerald McCoy, Sam Bradford, Mike Iupati, Golden Tate, Earl Thomas, and Freddie Barnes
It is a great first round and I don't think we are going to look back and say we should have taken...

QOTD: Pete Priscoe - CBS
“By far and away the worst pick in this draft. Wow. How can you justify trading away Cutler and picking this kid. He’s a fifth-round pick — at best. Now we know why Josh McDaniels will last one more year in Denver. Horrible. Just horrible.”
Haha
That’s funny. I got to go check out the Mile High Report and see how they’re taking it.
