Seattle trades for 3rd string Qb from San Diego

Ugh. That seems really expensive to me.

I agree. Moving down 20 spots in the 2nd is pretty big in itself and to give a 3rd rounder in a draft this deep seems excessive...........

Bradford seems to be the favorite to go to the Rams at 1. If Seattle isn't crazy about Clausen or thinks Washington will take him, maybe they think Whitehurst is as good as anyone else they could draft. Still seems expensive......

I posted this in the D. Anderson-to-Arizona thread, but Whitehurst and Spiller were teammates at Clemson..

Seattle doesn't have a 2010 3rd rounder. It is the 2011 3rd round pick. Still, that's like two 3rd round picks for a guy we could have landed for just a 3rd round pick had we had one.

Didn't catch it was the 2011 3rd rounder...........

Makes it a little better anyway. Who knows, the kid could be the next Schaub..........

Front office guys don't pick a name out of a hat and throw money at him. I'm confident they watched tape and made some calls and feel he has what it takes to be a starter. What he ends up doing with that opportunity is the big unknown. But I think Charlie learning from Turner, Rivers and Volek makes him a less scary gamble than any QB in the draft not named Bradford.

If the 2nd rounder SD received becomes a hall of famer, then some moaning is justified, but so many picks bust every year. Just look at the first and seconders being traded away this year for second day picks (Hill, Houston, Wimbley...). I guess I'm saying I'm cool with what they. Hass is just getting older, and the free agent QBs this year are just wretched.
