And I'd think Carolina would like to see what Clausen could do you in at least year 2 when he's not running for his life (as much) and has more experience.
Funny you said this. I was just talking to a guy at work who's a Panthers fan and I said the same thing. You saw Clausen his first year at ND running for his life and he put up so-so numbers. But then Floyd, Tate, and Rudolph emerged and he became one of college football's most efficient passers. And he throws a pretty nice deep ball IMO.
Too bad Carolina can't trade out of this pick and take AJ Green. Then with Green, Lafell, Steve Smith (if he isn't traded), DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart there are a decent amount of weapons around him. Their Oline isn't terrible either.
Anyways, not sure if it was posted earlier but McShay has some more Julio Jones info.
"6. Cleveland Browns -- It sounds like general manager Mike Holmgren will go with Alabama WR Julio Jones, who is a pro's pro already and would give second-year QB Colt McCoy a big-time target next season. "
