#13 in the first round and he is still available. He put on the brave face with the Browns passed him up, he had to have been
very disappointed. It will be interesting to see where he ends up.

    Realistically - he is a second or third round pick - the scouts and GM's got this one right.

    Third round pick??

    Surely the Lions, Browns, and Dolphins wouldn't pass on him again in the second round.

    I thought for sure the Browns would have picked him, Weiss and Crennell worked together so I would have thought that it would have been a nice fit.

    Well at least ESPN stopped showing his mug every two seconds as he is probably reeling mentally. I do want to see his girlfriend more though image

    My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

    Yes, perhaps the 2nd round.

    Winning college QB but with no mobility and average arm strength = 2nd or 3rd round pick at best. And besides, Charlie Weis could make any quarterback look good. Quinn was highly overrated going into this draft by the usual pundits who love anything Notre Dame.

    Does anybody really see him slipping by KC?

    << <i>Here's tht thing. Quinn has A LOT of mobility. I've seen almost all of his games and he eludes TONS of would be sacks and runs for MANY key first downs. His strength and limber body make him tough to sack. Read John Murphy's assessment of him. Also, he's A LOT more mobile than Montana and Brady (Tom) ever were. One may argue back and forth about exactly where you pick up a Quinn or a QB without super arm strenghth, but that has not been the differentiating factor in QB success in the NFL. For every Marino, Elway or Farve with great arm strenghth, you have guys sitting with more SB rings in Montana, Simms, Brady, Aikman etc. >>



    By no means am I saying Quinn is an automatic bust in the NFL. Of course every player is a gamble to at least some extent. But based on Quinn's strengths and weaknesses, he wasn't ever going to be the #1 pick as some pundits thought he should. I mean some pundits had him going higher than Russell which was absurd.

    To get a guy at #22 who before the draft was discussed as a possible overall #1 if not Top 5 I'll take it.

    Hey...he cannot do any worse than Tim Couch

    Bye Frye

    Quinn will be a lot cheaper this way too, good financial move for Cleveland.

    The Browns get someone they wanted but not at the high price it would have been if they acted earlier in the draft.
    This gives Quinn more motivation to prove the naysayers wrong (if he can that is).
