Re: Robert Quinn: Boom or Bust?

If Carolina takes Cam, Bills could take Miller. Or Cardinals may take Miller and Browns take Quinn (Browns supposedly have Green and Quinn 1-2 on their chart, but I'm not totally buying that).

I agree lotus on Jordan but sometimes character is overrated when you need talent like we do.

Re: Robert Quinn: Boom or Bust?

^^ Dirtbag and Okie, I agree with your posted statements, except that I think that Cam Jordan is a future Pro Bowler. Wouldn't you want to draft a Pro Bowl DE at #10?

Re: Robert Quinn: Boom or Bust?

^ heck yes I would but would you take him over a Quinn or Miller who can become a dominate pass rusher along side 98? Either way we are in a great spot at 10

I agree about the good spot.

Don't forget that Jordan is a capable pass rusher and therefore can help to take the pressure off of Rak. We could also find pass rush specialist LB's later in the draft.

Yes, I personally would take Jordan over Quinn. Reports are that Quinn had a hard time doing linebacker drops at his pro day. He is more of a project than Jordan. Jordan already has excelled as a 3-4 DE.

Miller would be great but I don't see him there at #10.

Put differently, talent in front of our linebackers will make the LB's better, whoever they are. If our front three can't keep blockers off of the LB's, however, talent at LB is wasted. I think we need help most in our front three.

Where did you hear this? If this is true I don't want him anymore, and I want Cameron Jordan even more, since I've read that he can drop into coverage as a linebacker too.

This would be the perfect time to move down in the draft and pick up more picks. I think DE on the left side will be manned by Alexander or Wilson. NT or OLB/DE is not a glamorous pick in the first round but for this team, it's the right move.

If we don't take Quinn at 10 and move down to pick up additional picks, one name I'm starting to hear a bit (and keep in mind we're now in full smokescreen mode, so who knows what to really believe) is Corey Liuget

So its Ponder or Locker in 2011 and then Cousins 2012?

SS you are working your own smokescreen early...hopefully it covering your true intention of wanting either California QB next year. They are the real deal.

Well I've been saying I think we need two new QBs for a while.

I heard the same (in regards to linebacker drops) from Mayock and Lombardi on NFL network.

Re: Robert Quinn: Boom or Bust?

You guys also have to remember that DWare and Elvis Dummerville also had Red flags before the draft.. Those guys are great players, I think Quinn - Orakpo would be the start of a dominating defense IMO. Also we could probably trade down and get Jordan around 16 - 24 ish
