We will draft a QB!!!

[ATENEARS]

I beleive all signs point to drafting a QB high.

Not that I'm for or against it, but all signs point to us taking a QB in the draft and grooming him to take over in the coming years.

Does Joe Germaine have a brother?

I don't agree here ATEN. I think they use a second or 3rd on one, which might be the reason on getting the 3rd from Oakland.

BTW, do we get the Raiders low or high 3rd round?

What about Sam Bradford?

Opinions?

A great candidate for us IMO. I doubt he will be a first overall, but slot him right there where we pick. If some of the big name defensive cats are still on the list it could be interesting, but of all the prospects that aren't over-inflated, I believe he is among the best of them.

Oh My, did I just place myself in Camp Bradford?

[flipflop]

Dan LeFevour......if he falls to the 3rd he would be an awesome value pick.

Some guys though are saying he will be 3rd QB taken.

[ATENEARS]

Holmgren didn't dump both of our QB's, bring in a kid that knows his system (mentor) but doesn't have the physical attributes to be a starter in this league, then bring in an aging starter, and set the table perfectly to groom a drafted 'franchise' QB, only to roll the dice in round #3 ...

... I believe we are taking a QB at the top of the draft.

Strap on the chin straps boys ... here we go again ...

[Drunkandstoopid]

I'm thinking 3rd round this year, and if the kid doesn't look to be the starter in '11, they'll take a QB high in next year's draft and extend Delhomme one additional year (provided he plays OK).

[LeBrent]

I don't want to draft a QB in the first but it could definitely happen.

They've got three 3rd round picks so it would probably be pretty easy to move up a couple picks if Holmgren or Heckert fell in love with someone.

I keep hearing that this is a deep draft so this is a great year to have 12 picks.

And hey, if no one is there that we like in any of our picks, try and trade it for a future pick. A boatload of draft picks can carry over from year to year. Savage always did it the opposite way. He traded future 3rd rounders for 4th rounders now.

[buster]

I'd be surprised....... i'd have to predict it's not going to happen.....

Yea and Wimbley was the top 10 in some stat last season. Still waiting on that one.

i proved it thanks for playing

too bad all the big name QBs coming out this year suck. Stafford whos been injured a bazillion times, mccoy who was too big of a pussy to finish the biggest game of his career, even tho the doc said he was fine to play, and then of course jimmy clausen, who has suck written all over him.

as much as i hate tebow hes the only real winner coming out in the draft, and his throwing mechanics stink

1st stafford was last year you mean bradford

2nd he's been injured twice thats not a bazillion times

and Clausen just put up one of if not the best junior seasons in NCAA history

know your shit before you ever think about posting again

i dont wanna have to own you that hard again

[Alendor]

clausen sucks we all know it. and bradford is injury prone. just cause i mixed up the name doesn't mean its not true

yeah you dont know shit so stop trying to act like you do

your post was the exact opposite of the truth and reality of things

how does it feel to be the only single human being walking on earth to think Bradford is injury prone? or that clausen sucks even though he had the best junior year in NCAA HISTOY for a qb?

[Gips]

At this point with DA released and BQ given away for next to nothing and the pathetic signing of delhomo its obvious and inevitable that we will need to draft a QB fairly high rather fans like it or not, if it were anyone but MH i would demand a 1st round pick to justify the housecleaning and Retarded crybaby delhomo signing but MH has proven he can pull the rabbit out of the hat even in the 3rd round, lets just hope MH and heckert have done their homework and bring us a winner for once...

[mopaji]

From the guy who predicted "This rostor is going to get flipped in the offseason" as well as "We will be making headlines in the 2nd week of FA" and who can forget "We we will trade Quinn" as well as some yet to transpire suggestions such as "trade Harrison for a 3rd round pick!" comes my latest Cleveland Browns shot-in-the-dark,

"We will not take a QB before the 4th round and it will be someone none of us are talking about! Two words for you....Levi Brown!!!!"

The Genie, has spoken!

***predictions are not coming from a real genie. any and all accurate predictions are completely based on what the genie would do if he were in charge. fake genie admits he did not see the wimbley trade happening and expects the rogers trade was nixed because of the interest in wimbley. fake genie will not admit to any false predictions he may have had in the past. such as jamal isn't washed up yet. he will be fine once the season starts.***

[HaysiDawg]

I don't think Tebow would be that bad in the 2nd but I really feel our best value is Tony Pike in the 3rd. With the recent aquisitions at the QB position we really need to address the issues at LB, WR, or DB in the 1st and 2nd. Tony Pike has a strong arm, is a tall kid and sees the field well. We need to keep people from scoring on us and someone to get the ball to! Tony is someone who could learn and really turn out to be a hell of starter if groomed right.

Well one can't believe he's thinking big with the two choads he has now.

Anyway lets hope he gets lucky with whatever kid he picks.

If he isn't going to coach then his QB guru talent means zip.

If his finding a gem in a rockpile rep is what ya like, he's never really done it.

Hasslebeck, just like Delhomme is an OK player who can do the job if the team is rocking.

And who suck canal water if it isn't.

Like a million guys.

Favre is an elite player. Lightning might strike twice who knows?

ove him or not.

I say 8 and 0 by November or Holmgren gets the sack.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

i think we will draft a qb, even though i don't want to. we will draft him and he will spend 2 years on the bench learning. holmgren is hoping he will be the next aaron rogers.

[ClevelandFanForLife]

i hate that we are going to take a qb. there are so many other playmakers on defense that i would rather have. take your pick... we certainly won't

[Chip Banks]

If Holmgren drafts a QB in the 1st or 2nd it will be the first time he's done so. He's taken 2 QBs in the third round (Brock Huard and David Greene). After that Seneca Wallace in the 4th is his next highest pick.

Actually, the QB guru label might not be all that fitting when you look at the players Holgren drafted:

"When Holmgren was head coach at Seattle, quarterbacks drafted by the Seahawks included Brock Huard (Round 3, 1999), Josh Booty (Round 6, 2001), Jeff Kelly (Round 7, 2002), Seneca Wallace (Round 4, 2003) and David Greene (Round 3, 2005). All five were “his guys.”" http://www.cantonrep.com/browns/x723442726...n-QB-at-Combine. Add in that he traded a sith rounder for Charlie Frye.

Holmgren comes from the Ron Wolf school of QB drafting. Pick 'em often and low. When Holgren was with Wolfe they drafted as follows:

Ty Detmer (Round 9, 1992), Mark Brunell (Round 5, 1993), Jay Barker (Round 5, 1995), Kyle Wachholtz (Round 7, 1996), Ronnie McAda (Round 7, 1997) and Matt Hasselbeck (Round 6, 1998).

I don't know about Pike. Cincy's offense didn't miss a beat when they brought in his baseball player back-up. I'm really not crazy about this draft class. My underdog in this class is Max Hall (BYU). I think he'll be available at the very end of the draft or even as a UFA and has the accuracy, mobility and leadership qualities to be a good (not great) WCO QB (compare Jeff Garcia). Even if we take a QB higher, I wouldn't mind Walrus signing Hall or Kafka to an UFA contract to stash on the practice squad.
