For real?

If so, nuts, I want the Bills to take him.

Yeah Schefter and La Canfora are both reporting that the Browns are looking to trade up to take him.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

The Browns are going to be ******s and draft Colt McCoy. It's going to happen, I just need to learn how to accept it now.

Hopefully the Bills or Browns trade up in front of the Chiefs and take emu. I'm not sure I can hold my breath for seven minutes.

If the Bills take emu i'm giving up on them totally.

I'm sure Buddy Nix doesn't care what I think though

I've never seen a draft that had this many great players in the 2nd.

I can assure you that the Browns will not take Emu. A beat writer for the Browns said he was told that the Browns would not, under any circumstances, take Jimmy Clausen.

I think you guys are safe considering Cassell signed that monster contract. Doesn't make sense why they'd bring a guy like Clausen in unless Weiss spiked Pioli's coffee

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

4 QBs on the roster. McDaniels had no business doing that deal for a position thats not a huge need. My issue is trading back into the 1st to get a project and a project for a position that should start around #6 in terms of needs.

Thats a waste of a pick imo.

I'm not a Broncos fan but I live right outside Denver and do follow the team since my buddies are fans. From what I saw last year, I thought Brandstater (sic?) had potential to develop into a real solid NFL QB in another year or 2. Looks like he'll be gone now.

Orton is just a stop-gap. I know McDaniels likes him because he doesn't turn the ball over much but Orton doesn't possess the big arm that Cassel and Brady had, which left Orton to throw 1,000 screen passes last year. He's probably gone after this season.

That leaves Quinn and Tebow. Both are huge projects. There's still holes on the defensive side of the ball that need to be addressed, but it seems that 2 years in, McDaniels is just focused on re-tooling the offense to get as far away from resembling anything Mike Shananan did in his 14 years in Denver as possible.

I don't know if it's already been posted, but Jason La Canfora is reporting the Panthers want to trade up for McCoy.

It was reported last night that Weis was going to try and convince the Chiefs to draft Clausen today. I don't realistically see it happening though. Pioli isn't a headcase.

That'd be a good spot for McCoy. I don't know if Moore is the long-terms solution @ QB for Carolina.

Brandstater is like Colquitt the punter. Getting screwed over despite performing well when given the chance.

When he was drafted, I figured this is the guy he wants to groom to be the long term guy. Then he trades for Quinn, then trades up for Tebow.

Center, guard, ILB, Dline, CB need to be addressed for the remainder of the draft.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

I dont want them spending any picks to move up for a position thats not a need.

I hope I'm wrong, I have no problem with it. I didn't agree with the Moreno pick last year.

I hear you but don't know if I agree that QB isn't a position of need. The recent trend is to draft a QB when you absolutely need one and throw him to the wolves, but back in more sensible times teams drafted QBs and had them sit for a couple of years before starting them. I can understand your argument if you think Brandstater has a bright future or that McDaniels can get Quinn to reach his potential, but my guess is the Broncos weren't as sold on either and want to have a QB of the future on the field in the next 2 years. The next thought then is can Tebow be that guy? I know there are a million opinions on that but if McDaniels feels he can be that guy in say 2 years, then I think the Broncos worked with what they had perfectly to get the player they wanted without drastically effecting what else they can do in the draft.

It doesn't seem like there was a center worth reaching for at that point and there should be LBs and DEs of good value later. Lots of corners have gone but I think the need for corner is more for the future, and probably not one worth paying first round money to a guy that'll be in the nickel for the next 2 years.

I don't think it was brilliant but don't see it as nearly as bad as you do, I guess. Even if Tebow flames out, I don't see it really having a huge impact on what they can do for the rest of the draft.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

Miami Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland hoped he wouldn't be bored Friday morning and afternoon waiting for tonight's continuation of the 2010 NFL draft, and that doesn't appear to be the case.

The Dolphins are actively taking about trades, and many of them.

"I think there will be a lot of action in the top of the second round," Ireland said on Thursday night. "I think there will quite a bit of action actually."

According to a team source, the Dolphins have made calls guaging what it would require to move up from pick No. 40, getting into the earlier region of the second round, fielded calls about moving down in the second round, and held preliminary discussions about acquiring established NFL veterans.

One player that's been discussed with Miami is Dallas receiver Sam Hurd, whom the Cowboys are actively looking to move after selecting Oklahoma State receiver Dez Bryant with the draft's 24th pick.

Hurd, whom this regime signed as an undrafted free agent in 2006 during their tenure with the Cowboys, caught just seven passes for 121 yards and one touchdown last season. He's produced 31 receptions for 510 yards and two touchdowns in his four season with the Cowboys. But more importantly he's a core special teams contributor.

Hurd led the Cowboys with 19 special teams tackles last season. However, he hasn't returned kickoff or punts regularly, and if the Dolphins were to add another receiver to it's crowded stable of wide outs it's highly likely that player would have to bring have some returner skills since the Dolphins traded Ted Ginn Jr. to San Francisco for a fifth-round pick last week.

The Cowboys are also shopping defensive end Marcus Spears, another one of Parcells' former draftees. But considering the Dolphins presently have a logjam of defensive ends (Randy Starks, Kendall Langford, Phillip Merling, Tony McDaniel, Lionel Dotson) due to the addition of first-round pick Jared Odrick, it's unlikely that Miami will do that deal.

If the Dolphins move up in the draft it would likely be to acquire one of the top hybrid linebacker, nose tackles, or free safety prospects available.

Texas' Sergio Kindle, a top tier linebacker whose stock is reportedly falling due to concerns about a troublesome knee, is still on the board, as is Florida's Carlos Dunlap, Utah's Koa Misi, Clemson's Ricky Sapp, Northwestern's Corey Wooten, Ohio State's Thaddeus Gibson, South Carolina's Eric Norwood and Virginia Tech's Jason Worilds.

Alabama's Terrence Cody, East Carolina's Linval Joseph, UCF's Torell Troup, LSU's Al Wood, UCLA's Brian Price and Syracuse's Arthur Jones are the better nose tackle prospects who will likely be taken in the second or third round today.

And Florida's Major Wright, USF's Nate Allen, Georgia Tech's Morgan Burnett, LSU's Chad Jones, Virginia Tech's Kam Chancellor and Georgia's Reshad Jones are the safeties that fit the Dolphins' size molds for that position.

Re: 2010 NFL Draft Thread

I was thinking about this and in hind sight, the team that has screwed up is the Rams. Think about it: they could have taken Suh #1 and taken Clausen in the 2nd round. That would have been a heck of a draft right there. No way they knew Clausen would fall to the 2nd though and they felt they had to get the QB.
