OFFICIAL 2010 NFL Draft Thread

[FirstTimer]

In case you were wondering this is the weakest QB class since the 2007 draft. The best QB out of that class is arguably Matt Moore or Kevin Kolb... the verdict is still out on all of them especially Brady Quinn who is *gasp* another ND QB from the Charlie Weis system. lol all you want.

Yeah, I'm not saying Bradford sucks. But honestly some of it is based on a "gut feel" about Bradford. He has somepretty good physical tools but IMO Clausen has the better arm, better release, better handle on a pro offense etc.

Bradford is very accurate but I'm not sure he has the arm for the NFL and the transition from the spread will give him trouble IMO...which could effect his accuracy.

Clausen has more upside IMO, especially if he keeps his head on straight.

Whenever I watched/watch Bradford I never really was amazed by his talent/performances. Oklahoma beat the piss out of teams on offense and you'd look down and Bradford would have real big numbers but I never really came away impressed by many of his throws etc.

Also Leftwich, people forget too that this is the same system that created Jason White and propelled him to a Heisman so Bradford has some "system QB" questions to answer himself.

Not a strong year for QB's no matter what but IMO Clausen is the strongest, but not by much.

I think Colt McCoy will be late 3rd-5th round.

Like Brady Quinn, it's pretty much assumed that we've seen the best Clausen has to offer. The other guys seem to have more potential as a pro.

Quinn was fortunate to get picked in the 1st round if you ask me.

Not sure who is assuming that. It's obvious many feel Clausen has some big upside at the NFL level if some see him as a top 5 pick. Same with Bradford.

Then again some could feel that if Clausen growns mentally and stays where he is at physically that he is good enough to be the best QB in this draft class. Maybe some have Clausen graded out higher now than what some people feel bradford etc could become. I'm not saying that's the case or that I feel that just pointing it out.

Really this is such a down year for QB's it's sad. Especially with the Bradford/McCoy injuries and the Tebow LULZ throwing motion.

 

[FirstTimer]

My point is to first say Clausen is a mid 1st round pick, and then follow that up with Bradford being a 2nd rounder, BEHIND McCoy and LeFevour, is laughable. Your ND homerism is just showing on that one.

My ND homerism is showing by having Bradford behind a QB from Texas and Central Michigan?

Stupid argument on your part.

I listed a bunch of reasons I think Clausen is the better pick in general. None of them had anything to do with him being the QB at Notre Dame.

Even if Clausen doesn't exist in this draft I still have Bradford ranked behind those two guys. It's not as if Clausen being in the draft makes me think Bradford is worse than he is.

Draft with Clausen:

Clausen
McCoy
LeFevour
Bradford

Draft with no Clausen:

McCoy
Lefevour
Bradford

What the hell does me liking Notre Dame have to do with any of that?

Last I checked Leftwich isn't an ND fan and agreed with me on Bradford.

Either post something decently intelligent in rebuttle or STFU with you "homerism" cop out BS.

NFL.com - Combine

Trinton Holliday with a 4.27 unofficial.

Bruce Campbell ran a 4.81 unofficial.

 

[Leftwich]

Oakland Raiders fans should get their jersey orders in - with the work out numbers Campbell's put up so far he is a lock at 8.

But Campbell would be the best pick for them. They do need an OT.

 

[Leftwich]

Trent Williams has been doing pretty well so far. He is another option at #8. Plus he ran a 4.85 I believe. Perfect fit for the Raiders.

Wow... I'm impressed by the OT's this year. Okung, Williams and Campbell. Last year it was Jason Smith, Andre Smith and Eugene Monroe. Good two years for OT's.

 

[MRN]

I will immediately become a fan of whoever picks Arrelious Benn... he's a beast.

 

[SHOGUN]

Jimmy Graham with a 4.60 and Gresham with a meh 4.76 unofficial.

 

[Leftwich]

Jimmy Graham is very intriguing. A project for some team and a former PF for Miami BB. He ran a 4.60 so he'll likely be a pass option more than a blocking TE.

 

[SHOGUN]

Dennis Pitta with a surprising 4.63.

 

[SHOGUN]

Dickerson = WR.

 

[NAHSTE]

Trindon Holliday's time didn't surprise me, but 4.27 is still a 4.27. Wow.


EDIT- 4.34 officially

 

[Leftwich]

Probably - the funny thing is Al Davis has the well earned rep of selecting the kid with the best measurables instead of the best player. That strategy has not worked well since about 1985.

Finally once in 25 years it'll work in his favor... i wouldn't say once cause he really nailed it with Nnamdi.

 

[Nukleopatra]

lol @ whoever doubted my Bruce Campbell to Oakland selection.

I told you that bastard was going to be the fastest guy.

 

[Rayman]

All I'm hoping is that Earl Thomas or Nate Allen don't have such great combines that they aren't available when we're on the clock in 1.

I have faith in the front office's decisions afterwards, but we're dying for a safety that can make plays.

 

[EmpireWF]

Pittsburgh TE Dorin Dickerson unofficially ran a 40 in the low 4.4s

sounds like Campbell really pushes his stock into the top 15

 

[FirstTimer]

What did Tate run?
