Clausen To Declare For NFL Draft

[drudy23]

Article projects him as the best QB option for next year's draft? Really? And the Brown's are interested? Really?

He's good...but the best of the class? Top 3 pick? I don't see it.

A healthy Sam Bradford would probably be ahead of him but the good QBs this year aren't really pro style QBs. McCoy and Tebow will definitely not grade out as good pro quarterbacks plus Clausen has played in a pro offense for three years. Tony Pike will be an intriguing option for a team as well, but Tony has only played about 1 full year in college and is injury prone.

I am not saying he is a slam dunk to be a good NFL QB, I just think compared to what else is coming out in this class he has to be the best option or at least 2nd best.

I agree. This looks like a pretty good year for him to go. Particularly when you consider the coaching situation at Notre Dame. That team could be very bad next year.

Ya and he seems to be pretty damn accurate with the deep ball. Having golden and flyod obviosuly helop though.

If he stays how could they be any worse than they were this year?

I guess that is a valid point, but with a new coach the offense certainly could get worse. It is unlikely that the defense could look any worse next year, so I agree with that.

With Tate and/or Floyd gone I would certainly think that the offensive production could decline.

Yeah, Tate could leave but Flyod is only a sophomore. I think Claussen is most likely gone now though.

I don't know much about the guy, but i keep hearing that Jake Locker out of Washington is possibly the first QB to get drafted.

I think most scouts believe he should go back for another year. Thats what I saw, and that he might have the best potential but is still a little raw.

Tate leaving too according to SI. Floyd can't, but probably would if he could.
