John McClain - Gang, Ms. Sharpe is pulling night duty, so moderating today is Luis Perez, a Vikings fan who left the Chronicle's news side for Chron.com because he likes the frenzied action of sports. Today, he's fired up about getting Sage Rosenfels.

Give me two minutes to start, please. Thanks.

John, is it true that the relationship between Sage and Kubiak had become very strained? What info do you have on that and do you think it played a role in this trade?

11:33

John McClain - It's not true. They have a good relationship. Sage asked Kubiak to quit yelling at him at one point last season. Kubiak yells at all the quarterbacks and most of his players. Sage told him that wasn't the best way to get the best out of him, so Kubiak stopped yelling at him. I like the trade if they get a player like Owen Daniels in the fourth round and a veteran QB who can win a couple of games if Schaub gets hurt again. Sage's contract would have expired, and they would have lost him for nothing after next season.

What did u take out of Robert Ayers workout where do u see him in the draft ?

John McClain - I was very impressed. So were scouts and coaches. He weighed 272 and played RDE last season. He showed up at 280 -- muscle -- to show 3-4 teams he's big enough to play either end in their system. He told 4-3 teams he'll drop back down to 270 if that's necessary. His stock is rising. Now everyone wants to know why he starred only last season.

John, Jacoby Jones... what do you know and do you have an idea of what kind of value they hope/expect to get out of him... a 5th?

11:36

John McClain - I heard they were trying to trade him, but I can't confirm it. It would be a low pick because when teams look at him, most of what they'll see are punt returns -- touchdowns and fumbles.

John now that the Texans are going to let Weaver go do you think the Texans will move up to get the DE that they want or stand pat.

11:37

John McClain - There's no LDE worth moving up for. I think they're going to take an LB in the first round because there's better value. If they solve the LDE or OLB need in free agency, that'll change what they do in the first round.
