HELLS NOS. I want him there at 12 though, so we can trade down.

Is this a serious question? I mean, do any of you actually think Henne isn't the solution at QB we've wanted? I'm not going to list his qualities, but the idea of drafting a QB in this draft is laughable. If we draft Clausen with our #12 I'll shoot my TV.

Who doesn't like Chad Henne?

I think the quarterbacks we have are just fine...they just need more time and seasoning.

Then I answered out of turn, I like Henne.......but if I didn't HELLS NOS

NO!!!

Henne is the real deal. I like him more than most here, but I think he has a high level arm and will be very good for many years!

Henne and Thigpen are both the real deal (deals). As I said in another post, QB is the one position we ought NOT be thinking about in the draft.

You are correct, I don't think that Henne will be a great QB. Just my opinion as everyone else has their own view. But would I prefer Clausen? Absolutely not. I can't believe he is so highly projected. I think Colt McCoy will be a much better NFL QB than Clausen. I also think McCoy will be better than Henne. Now if for some reason Sam Bradford were to fall to 12 then I would love to see Miami draft him. But since Bradford won't be there at 12 I'm still driving the Rolando McClain bandwagon.

I wanted Matt Ryan but that is water under the bridge now.

Is this Dave Wannestedt? lol

Dave Wannstead wouldn't draft a QB. He'd pick up another CB.

Nah, he'd go K for sure.

Odenn" If we draft Clausen with our #12 I'll shoot my TV.


Couldn't say it any better.

We have so many holes I feel like swiss cheese as it is, and have finally got a young QB that has shown potential and 2 backups that can get it done (hint white is not one of them)

I'm fine with the question pose as to those not liking Henne, but even if you don't like him, he sucks a lot less than those occupying other weaker areas.

Please let's focus on the many needs we know we are hurting at first.

As most of you know by now we have a guy that can accuratelry throw the ball (most of the time) but we have WR's that can catch the ball ACCURATELEY or in treacherous situations 80% of the time. We need more accuracy in the receiving dept.

Do you mean Wr's that can't catch?

Do you really think there are that many holes? As I see it we need inside linebacker, Safety, and WR. Not much more than that. Even if we don't get that safety, with an upgrade at ILB the safety position will upgrade itself to a degree. We can pick up a back in the late rounds. We have a good OL that will improve with depth. So I don't see all the holes you do.

Leon, we have a glaring hole at OLB and NT too. So that makes ILB, OLB, FS, WR, and NT. We need starters and not just depth at some of those positions. This list of needs excludes only OL (though we could use depth there too), QB (agreed we are set there, a pick would be a big waste), RB (though next year the situtation will be desperate, and this year too unless brown and cobbs are back 100%), and CB.

That's a lot of holes!!

I agree, no hole at ILB

We could use another ILB but that is down on the list. The main problem is we at the other spots the issue is not depth but lack of STARTERS

I guess we will see as the season approches. I really don't think we are that far off. We hung in there with some dam good teams last year. With a new DQ and some upgrades, we will compete for division title.
That's how I see it.

DQ? Dairy Queen? Do our guys like icecream that much?

Oh btw I know we now have Dansby. I was looking at what we had at the end of last season. We pick up Dansby and that improves the D big time.
Contrary to popular belief, ILB will improve our safety play both S and FS. Dansby was the big upgrade needed most.
We will be okay at NT. Watch us pick up another that will contribute.

WR? Well we all know what is need there. Question is will we get it this year or will they go for another big Defensive player.

RB? With the OL we have we can draft someone late that should work out.

OLB? Weak here but Wake will only get better and I believe JT will be back. Now that Porter is gone (freaking jerk) players will improve.

Call me the optimist, but at this stage why not?
