My personal favourite QB in this draft is Colt McCoy, accurate, a leader and based on some of his college come back wins, fairly clutch I could see McDaniels taking him in the 2nd round and develop him for a year or 2.

He's Ok but he has a relatively poor arm ala Kyle Orton/Chad Pennington.

Another mock draft up on the nfl.com website. Has us taking Suh with the 1st pick. Conroy's Clausen isn't slated to go in the 1st round at all according to them, Bradford been the top QB taken at 26 by the Cards.

Bucky Brooks mock draft?

It is a terrible draft for a number of reasons.

1. JPP at 3 is high for a guy who has only really played well for one year at college.

2. Eric Berry is an excellent prospect, possibly the next Ed Reed, absolutely no way he falls to 13.

3. Terrence Cody at 18 is rubbish. He is good but the guy is massive (fat) and not better than Dan Williams

Biggest and most importantly is the QB issue. Not only is it ridiculous to have Bradford over Clausen, a guy who has had two shoulder operations on his throwing arm versus a guy who has had the best junior QB years in a long while, but it is ridiculous that teams like St. Louis, Washington, Seattle (Twice), Cleveland, Buffalo and Jacksonville who could all draft a QB will ALL pass on a QB (whoever they rate as higher) let alone teams trading up to get either or teams who think they are good value but don't neccesarily need a QB taking them. If Clausen is available at our pick i'd seriously consider taking him to back up Rodgers.

If you manage to get Suh in round 1 and Clausen in round 2 it will be the best first two rounds of a draft ever.

That's why I think McDaniels will take him, he prefers accuracy over arm and he has scrambling ability unlike Orton so he opens the playbook a bit more and he just seems to have a cracking attitude towards the game and in general.

Bucky Brooks mock is terrible I remember just shaking my head when I saw it some truly terrible picks on it.

Shoot me down, but anyone else think Tebow may rise in the the draft as a QB over time? I know he has mechanics problems, but is Bradford any better? Bradford has a bad shoulder, and plays out of a spread offense the same as Tebow. Tebow WILL improve practising under centre in an NFL style offense for months before the draft. It would not surprise me if Tebow moved up these imaginary mock drafts and ended up in the 1st round somewhere. By the sounds of if it Bradford did not have a great cannon before the injory. I think improvements and media stuff could possibly move Tebow up inot the first round. What do you think?

Bucky Brooks' draft is just pathetic,no way do both the Bucs and the Chiefs pass on Berry and that's just 1 of the things he's got completely wrong.Who is he anyway?

I was waiting for someone to see that

As I posted a few days ago I had taped the Americas game programmes from superbowl week on sky and watching the Bears 85 season it brought back some good memories as a young Bears fan and I realised I can't throw away 25+ years of support just because they've lost their way since 06.

The bad last couple of years and probably the same will happen next year (with no draft picks in the 1st and 2nd round coupled with the reluctance to spend big on FA's) will just make the good years in the future even sweeter.

It's the 1st time i've seen the Bears Americas game programme and I can thank sky from stopping me making a big mistake in dropping the Bears.

Tebow will go to the Jags in round 1. Unless he doesn't do well in the combine and they will take him in round 2. He will be a Jag though.

Congratulations on seeing the light

Every team has bad patches, some even bad decades which like you say is what makes it all the more sweet when your team is doing well, the salary cap situation isnt going to help many of the lesser teams because they dont want to spend big because if the cap does come back sooner rather than later it will surely affect them for the next few years.

I dont think we will spend as much as people think even though we have it we have never been big spenders and generally let our "star" players go rather than pay them, I just hope we resign Vince Wilfork because we have plenty of draft picks to trade for players if we dont use them.

To boost the Jags flagging tickets sales. Wayne Weaver is banking on Gator fans travelling from the swamp in Gainesville to watch Tebow in the pros.

Be interesting to see if any team tries to smoke screen the Jags and get them to trade up for extra picks?
