Seattle still takes Clausen with Whitehurst?
Clausen is the better QB, considering Whitehurst has never gotten real playing time BPA w/QB would still apply.
But they gave up a reasonable amount for him. Why even do that trade if they plan to take Clausen?
And i love the 49ers picks in this mock.
I look at it like what we did last year with Jones then getting Crabtree. I think they (Sea) expected Clausen to be gone by Washington's pick...now it obviously wont happen. Wallace was traded so they needed a good backup anyways, Hasselbeck is 34 and his contract expires in 2011.
Jones wasn't even that big a signing and we didnt give up picks for him. Seattle moved down 20 places in the 2nd round and also gave a 3rd in 2011 right?
Plus they are paying Whitehurst $10 million over the next 2 years. Little expensive for your #3 QB. Plus all the money you will be giving to Clausen too?
Well the initial move was done with the thought of Clausen not being there (this is a theory after all). Granted yes its a lot of money but its an uncapped year and Sea has a lot of money. The initial hit would only be for this year as Hasselbeck will be gone next year. So they would enter 2011 with Clausen and Whitehurst at QB.
Here is Whitehursts contract numbers:
3/17/2010: Signed a two-year, $8 million contract. Another $2 million is available through incentives. 2010-2011: Under Contract, 2012: Free Agent
