Robert Quinn: Boom or Bust?

The next Lamar Woodley

I'd rather have Marvin Austin truth be told.


I don't like the fact he's only got 1 sack against 8 ranked teams. What do you think he's going to do with top tier talent in the NFL? Also, he's a DE and we are going to convert him to a OLB who can't cover either? I think one OLB with bad coverage skills is enough on this team.

That's my concern too, but it sounds like most scouts see him as a 3-4 OLB. It may take him a while to adjust, and guys making that transition deserve some patience.

I would be happy if he's selected at 10 but not disappointed if they go another direction. I think a 3-4 OLB can be trained in a couple of years to be pretty decent. Not saying that there are a ton of UDFAs out there like James Harrison, but TE & OLB are 2 positions that seem to be in high supply these days. There are a lot of great athletes that size in college football. If Quinn or one of the other OLBs isn't taken by us, I see them taking at least 1 in the late rounds plus a couple UDFAs to try & find that diamond in the rough. Guess that goes for all of our draft needs!

I mean one of the "booms" is he's compared to DeMarcus Ware, and then a bust is he's only done so much against good competition. But I mean Ware played in the Sun Belt Conference so across the board his competition wasn't the elite of the NCAA.

My preference is move down and get more picks, but at #10 I'm perfectly fine with him

Id take Prince over Quinn and Julio at 10

I am not going to compare Quinn with Bradford but last year I thought that being out with an injury for most of his last year was going to affect Bradford negatively. Obviously that wasn't the case, so if this guy is talented, being out should not affect him much. Now the medical aspect could be an issue if he is injury prone in his first couple of seasons.

You take him over AJ Green or Prince at 10?

I'd rather nab Cam Jordan or JJ Watt.

But if the powers that be think that Quinn is our guy, I will not complain at all.

You take him over AJ Green or Prince at 10?

Yeah. The more I see of Prince, I probably even take Jimmy Smith over him if not for his character concerns. don't get me wrong, I think Prince is solid but maybe not at 10.

And I'm never really too keen on going WR high.

I think green is the WR bust of 2011

I'd be rather diasappointed if we take Quinn At #10. I hope we get a trade partner so we can move down, secure Jake Locker in the teens then use the additional pick gathered on DL (like Cam Heyward, Stephen Paea, etc.) or OLB (Justin Houston, Brooks Reed, etc.)..........that would thrill me.
