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).

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
