i dont see what we can pick up in the first round that isnt a QB

If Cowher is the coach the pick will be Luck.

If Gruden is the coach then its a toss up between Luck and Locker (he likes the west coast and Locker is a perfect fit for that offense).

If someone else random is the coach then its Luck.

That is IF they don't like Jimmy Clausen but I don't see how you pass on either Luck or Locker when the only QBs we have are unproven and on a low salary.

Another positive to having a high pick this year will be the new CBA, which will include a rookie salary cap..aka we won't have to pay the Number 1 or 2 pick an astronomical amount of cash...at least guaranteed.

why so formal, why not just Jerry or some other variation

there's a billion good available free agent wide receivers.

why in the name of god would you pass on luck unless you literally never watch stanford.

Miles Austin signed a long term deal before week 1 this year, so they might want to change that.

Anyone wanting Gruden as head coach needs to report to the hospital tomorrow for their mandatory vasectomy.

the panthers could be the latest nfl team to have an LSU player bust!

Have you ever watched this kid play? My guess is no.

I find the infatuation with Luck highly amusing. I see absolutely no way we are going to pick Luck in the top ten next year. We might take him with the top 5 pick in 2012 if Luck decides to stay in school one more year. He is playing well on a good team currently and has been able to overcome some issues with his footwork and release. He is also pretty young and has not performed at that level for long enough to be rated so highly for the draft next year.

Jake Locker is an interesting prospect for the NFL because of he is a threat to pick up some yards on the ground. He should go in the top 20 but might get taken earlier by a team desperate for a franchise QB.

Whatever pick we end up with we will go BPA and it won't be a QB. We will probably draft a defensive end or cornerback seeing as we are likely to pick tenth or thereabouts. We will add a veteran QB through Free Agency.

we will trade down and select an olineman. just watch

I don't think there is a lot of value in picking an O-lineman in the first round although I would not be surprised if we trade down in the unlikely event that we end up with a top 5 pick. Maybe they want to go after Derek Sherrod who I have heard has the potential to be a good LT.

I saw a mock draft with John Moffitt of Wisconsin going to us on another thread and I think he would be a good pick in mid-rounds. Now, I'm a Badger fan so I may be a little biased, but I think he has potential to be a pretty good guard. I would rather we go after him than someone like Gabe Carimi in the first round.
