Where will Jimmy Clausen end up in the next Round of NFL draft

Round 1 of the 2010 NFL draft concluded Thursday night, and Clausen remained unemployed. The question now is, how long will he stay that way? The league conducts the second and third rounds Friday night.

Round 1 of the 2010 NFL draft concluded Thursday night, and Clausen remained unemployed. The question now is, how long will he stay that way? The league conducts the second and third rounds Friday night.

Here are 10 teams that may not be able to resist rescuing Clausen from his draft free fall:

* Arizona Cardinals: If they don’t think Matt Leinart or Derek Anderson is the long-range answer, they might have an opportunity to give themselves another option.
* Buffalo Bills: Apparently they were hoping Tim Tebow would be there for them in the second round with pick No. 41. Ain’t gonna happen. After taking RB C.J. Spiller with their first pick — which seemed a bit of a luxury — do they address myriad other needs (both lines, receiver) or take a chance on Clausen to be the franchise quarterback they’ve lacked since Jim Kelly’s retirement?
* Carolina Panthers: They’re not scheduled to pick until No. 48, and coach John Fox and GM Marty Hurney probably need ready-made players to help secure their tenuous jobs, but …
* Cleveland Browns: They didn’t have much luck with another Golden Domer, departed Brady Quinn, and many believe Browns president Mike Holmgren might prefer that Texas QB Colt McCoy runs his precision offense. But Holmgren could have quite a second-round dilemma at slot No. 38 on his hands.
* Kansas City Chiefs: Yes, QB Matt Cassel is set to enter the second year of a six-year pact. But any chance new offensive coordinator Charlie Weis might prefer his former lead Irishman?
* Minnesota Vikings: Only the Rams are sitting ahead of them in Round 2, and we’re guessing St. Louis isn’t looking to deploy a Sam Bradford-Jimmy Clausen platoon under center. Minnesota’s in prime position to secure a successor for Brett Favre whenever he finally hangs it up.
