John Clayton update on VY

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2395953
This is the latest news on Steve McNair, which apparently is a mutually exclusive issue concerning the draft.

John Clayton came on Mike and Mike this morning (talk radio I wish I could quit you).
Anyway, Clayton had some stunning news concerning the Titans, Leinart and Vince Young.

Part 1 - Matt
First, despite what many of the "I (heart) Leinart "fan club members have been saying, Clayton reports that Leinart's workout wasn't very good and he refused to run the 40. He also had put on some "bad weight".   http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news;_ylt=Avdxjp3EKwSNJ6Yj5MB6bPBDubYF?slug=ap-usc-draft&prov=ap& ;type=lgns
Even though nobody was willing to "out" themselves and come off Leinart's jock, the Mike's/Clayton accepted the fact that Leinart's combine was less than stellar.  Clayton eluded to it, but IMO there are several things going on with Leinart. First, he has the Playboy mansion party boy image and many question his work ethic (see Cade McNown). Second, many are starting to question if he was merely just the system guy in a pack full of studs. Third, what you see now is as good as he'll probably ever get. With Carson Palmer you could see some major upside, but not so much with Leinart.

Part 2 - Titans
The Titans are officially going to draft VY, per John Clayton. Their GM, despite overtures by some coaches, is convinced that VY has the most upside in the draft. So here is how it goes. The Texans take Bush, Saints take Mario Williams and then with Leinart and Young still on the board the Titans will take Vince over Matt.  Clayton wasn't just speculating he was adamant this would happen. BTW, I think Clayton is freaky looking, but without a doubt one of the best.

Part 3 - Mike and Mike meltdown
This news did not go over well with the Mikes. It is the first-time I've seen Golic (fat guy) get angry on the show. He was furious that someone dare suggest that Leinart isn't the second coming. While Clayton reiterated and clarified his report Golic interrupted and said, "well, (grumble, grumble), if Leinart IS on the board, there is no way they pick Young - and that's that". Clayton actually goes out and works for a living, so his face was stone cold as he replied, "no you're wrong, they are in fact going to go with Young".  It went back in forth for a while. Then the smaller Mike began to celebrate, because he's a Jets fan and wants Matty to be his QB in New York. They both are in love in Leinart and could not believe the news. Of course, they know better than Clayton, because the have a radio show named after them.

It was all pretty humorous. Who knows how this shapes up between now and the draft? I do think that maybe Leinart's draft isn't dropping, but he is suddenly being put under the scrutiny that VY has been receiving. It will be interesting to see how he handles not being loved.
