No guarantees they will pan out... just like any other position... but that is where you get one.

Let's just say we draft defense heavy... and everything clicks... and we get out team up to our famous 8-8 to 9-7 position. We are now out of the top 5 position we have been in for the last 3 drafts. And up to this point, it appears that all 3 QB's selected (Ryan, Stafford, and Sanchez) are going to be legit QB's. We had an opportunity (yes it would have required a trade up, but these things happen to the teams that value the QB spot) to get all three of them but passed.

Like MM stated, if there is a QB that is valued by our staff to be a legit franchise QB, then we need to select him this year, regardless of Cassel.

I am expecting 8-8 in '10. Anything else is a complete failure.

So let's say this comes to fruition, even with this middling draft position, we should have an opportunity to move up and snag a Gabbert next season. I think concerns about coming from the spread will mean he goes somewhere in the 5-10 range.

We need to make this happen. Good teams create opportunities for themselves.

That said, if our current staff believes Clausen can be "the" guy, we SHOULD take him if he falls.
