What would we trade for the first overall pick? Our first rounders in 2007, 2008, and 2009? And then what happens to Campbell, who projects very well as an NFL QB (even better than Quinn, who also projects well)?
That'd be a disaster. As long as he doesn't land in the division (i.e. Dallas), I'm happy.
How does Campbell project better?

I think the Raiders are going to hold on to the first overall pick (and therefore Quinn) like grim death, which is breathing down Al Davis' neck.

Theres an article written in the Pro Football Prospectus 2006 that has a good track record of projecting QBs based on their college stats, based on using Games Started and Completion %, and high numbers of both seem to correlate to success in the NFL. Campbell's projection is off the charts. Your boy, Alex Smith, fares pretty well by it too.
Quinns a 4 year starter for a major program in which his career completion % will hover around 60% at the end of the season. That's good for the system.
It has been wrong before. But in general, if you suck (a term used loosely, cause of the hype factor) in college, like Kyle Boller, who vastly outplayed his projection, you won't be much in the NFL.

I assumed he is implying we lose out to try to get a top 5 pick, which I think is ridiculous.

I dont think we're trying to lose out, but the possibility is there.

Who would you guys want if you got the first pick? The big three really don't fit any of your needs.

Hopefully we'd trade down for more picks.
Doesnt Denver already have our 1st pick?
