The 49ers passed....I'm assuming because they think that this is Alex Smith's final year to prove he can do it.
The Broncos drafted Tebow.
The Raiders obviously were fine with Gradkowski and then went out and traded for Campbell.
The Vikings have Sage Rosenfels (trade) and Jackson who they just re-signed.
The Jaguars didn't have a 2nd round pick and were obviously in love with Alulua (sp?).

You pretty much proved his point here.
Cardinals: Think that Leinert and Derek Anderson are better options.
Redskins: Weren't willing to trade up/down to get him.
49ers: Would rather go with Alex Smith
Broncos: Ummmmm we'll take Tebow
Raiders: Went with Gradkowski and a QB who they picked up for an 11th rounder in 2019
Vikings: Tarvaris Jackson and Sage Rosenfels...seriously?
Let the record show that I wanted us to take Clausen at 2b. That said, some of the arguments here make no sense. The Chiefs have more invested in Cassel than most of the teams on his list do in their QBs. We gave up the 35th(?) pick in the draft and paid the guy $15,000,000, and people expect us to draft Clausen with the 36th pick, but those same people are saying that other teams passed on him because they are already invested in their current QBs. It makes no sense.
Let's put it this way: If Bradford had not been drafted #1, how many of those 19 teams would have picked him in the 1st round? |
