Agreed. Rak, Quinn, Landry, and a quality NT and we're in business.

Starting to get excited........

When I Hear about Quinn I always get deja vu! Wasn't it Orakpo who was a good prospect who could rush the passer...Quinn is the same. We will need to project Quinn to 3-4 OLB as a lot of the collage game does not use 3-4. I do remember the red flags as Orakpo had problems in OLB drills dropping back and covering. If Quinn turns out to be half of Orakpo he will be a decent pro. Anything more and we will have pass-rushing book ends that compare to the rest of the NFC east! I like Quinn.

But........we need players everywhere! So I will go with the pick or trade down and get a couple of this years best players and try them out!

Honestly I don't watch a lot of the college game, but I have caught up with a lot of the reports on all the players in the draft.

I am more for balance, I want someone stronger at coverage on the otherside than pass rushing skill.

Browns are zeroing in on Quinn, it seems. Like I said earlier, Green and Quinn are 1-2 on their board and Green is likely gone...unless Bengals pull a shocker and take say Julio Jones.

skinsfaninok · 04-13-2011, 01:54 PM

^ I don't think that would be a shocker, I think JJ is better than green honestly. As for Quinn that sucks if Cle takes him, I'd like to trade down then

JoeRedskin · 04-13-2011, 03:08 PM

I have to admit I haven't been following the draft too much. Pretty much just following the threads for info.

I am not hearing much discussion on NT's. Are there any out there worthy of a 1st or 2nd round selection?

Quite frankly, I am of the mind that it is just such a freaking crapshoot. After about the first few guys, your probability of getting an impact player seriously declines. 10 is an iffy spot. It seems to me that the sure-fire defensive guys will all be gone by then. I am not a fan of any of the QB's or WR's on the boards at 10. It just seems to me that it will be slim pickings. In that case, I hope we can trade down but am just not sure we will find anyone willing to do that.

So, I have I just regurgitated what has already been said 30 or 40 times already but just not as intelligently?

Here's an interesting scenario. If both Quinn and Bowers fall to 10, who do you take?

Quinn. Bowers might be in line for microfracture surgery.

On the other hand, Quinn has/had a brain tumor

I'd take Quinn though, between the two

How do you say "Too Risky"?

skinsfaninok · 04-13-2011, 06:46 PM

^ Quinn

skinsfaninok · 04-13-2011, 09:22 PM

Quinn or JJ at 10 Or trade with STL

juskins · 04-13-2011, 11:10 PM

Just wondering how healthy Quinn is; he doesn't impress that much for a number ten pick in the first round.

I say trade down and get more picks.

Yeah, I'd trade with them or even New England would be better, to get more picks and still good players like Cameron Jordan or Aldon Smith or Jimmy Smith, Mike Pouncey, the list is endless.

But back to Quinn..
