[FONT=Georgia]BUZZ BUILDING FOR EDWARDS[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]Multiple league insiders are talking about Stanford quarterback Trent Edwards, who could challenge Michigan State quarterback Drew Stanton to be the third signal-called whose name is called out on draft day.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]
[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]Though it's hard to sift through the smoke this time of year, some teams privately claim that Edwards won't make it to round two.[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]At least one offensive coordinator, we're told, prefers Edwards to Brady Quinn.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]
[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]The problem is that Edwards, like Jay Cutler a year before, played for a college team that wasn't very good. Edwards' stock also has been limited by a foot injury that knocked him out of the back end of the 2006 season, and that kept him from participating in any postseason all-star games.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]
[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]Edwards' situation also reminds us of Matt Schaub's entry into the league. Limited as a senior at Virginia by a shoulder injury, Schaub was the fourth quarterback taken in 2004 -- at pick No. 90. [/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]Last week, Schaub signed a $48 million contract to become the starter in Houston.[/FONT]
[FONT=Georgia]
[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]Says one scout of Edwards: [/FONT][FONT=Georgia] "Talented but fragile. Has been hurt a lot. When he does play he shows a lot of talent. Has not had a good supporting cast, yet is still productive. Good mechanics, good arm[/FONT][FONT=Georgia]."[/FONT]

[FONT=Georgia]So he's a guy to keep an eye on as April approaches and unfolds. We wouldn't be surprised at all if a team that covets Edwards trades into the bottom of round one in order to snag him. [/FONT]

darn it. I was hoping edwards would somehow sneak into our 3rd round pick.

When you read all the different reports on him, he seems like a quarterback who would be perfect to come here and sit for a year and learn. Then he could be traded or bumped to number 2.

ANyway unless we move down from the 22 a few spots and pick up another late 2 or 3 there is no way we will have a shot at him..

Good.

I would welcome another J.P. Losman-type trade if things don't unfold as we would like.

Fragile is NOT something you want in a QB or any player for that matter.

Couldn't agree more, Alexander.
