Hypothetical, who do you take in the 2nd?

We draft Luck #1 overall and trade Clausen for a 2nd rounder (or trade him for a 3rd and trade up). Who are you looking for in the 2nd round?

Obviously there's a chance a slated top 10 pick drops but I'm just going with players generally thought to have a good chance to be available in the 2nd.

Kyle Rudolph, TE, Notre Dame Watching tape on Michael Floyd and some old tape on Clausen to compare his college vs. pro games the guy that stood out to me more than anyone was Rudolph. This guy just makes play after play, I really think he'd be a steal in the 2nd.

Ryan Broyles, WR/PR, Oklahoma Reminds me of a Welker/Shipley type. Very consistent hands, can line up in a variaty of ways, great at manipulating defenses and finding holes. Overall, ultra-productive and very hard to cover and a consistent chain mover. Again, I think he'd be a steal in the 2nd and end up better than a Julio Jones and Michael Floyd who will likely be taken ahead of him.

Mike Pouncey, OG, Florida His twin brother is tearing it up for the Steelers and he looks like just as good of a prospect. Teams are reluctant to spend a 1st on an OG so he could very well fall to the 2nd. Has the potential to be a perennial pro-bowler and also fills a huge need.

Ras-I Dowling, CB, Virginia 1st round talent but this year is very deep at CB so he could fall to the 2nd. Very aggressive and physical corner, would be an immediate upgrade over Marshall.

Rudolph or none of the above...

If Drake Nevis is there, i would want him...

Kyle Rudolph has top 10 talent, but TE's arent taken in the top 20 hardly, and he suffered an injury(something to do with his hamstring) and had surgery and was out the rest of the season. 6'6, 260, 4.60 40. a really good blocker and an even better reciever

I was just listing the guys I would be targeting in that area, didn't necessarily mean you had to pick from just those guys. :P

Even if we don't trade Clausen we can easily move up to a mid 2nd for our 3rd and 4th rounder (considering they will likely be at the top of each round). Any other ideas for good players that might be available there I'd like to hear em.

No, #1 pick take A.J. Green. He is the #1 wideout in the class even WITHOUT Mathew Stafford at QB. They will have good QBs in free agency such as Vick or Mcnabb who we can pursue. With a decent QB and 2 STUD receivers in Smith and Green (like we did with Jake, smitty, and moose, except green has more potential then moose) we should be fine.

Vick isn't going to be available. McNabb has a huge contract and if he gets cut it means he really bombed out the rest of this season.

So, who is the decent QB?

Why can't we go after a decent vet WR and draft a good QB?

mcnabb is done or he stays with the redskins. not someone you build a new offense around.

vick won't be a FA.

there will be crap choices for QB in FA. you want a guy that is going to lead this team for years? you draft him. you draft him this year.

if this group of wideouts don't get the job done and we stink up the joint again, then we draft a better WR than green or julio in the next draft (that would be alshon jeffery).

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
