Maybe, maybe not. (If anyone has figured out a foolproof system to project college QB's in the NFL, I'd like to meet him.) Anyway, as I said, #22 was a reasonable place to take that gamble. I didn't criticize the Browns for this. I said anything HIGHER would have been a reach. There are some pretty strong signs that people don't think next year's draft class is going to be very good. If there were a JaMarcus Russell ready for 2008, you have to assume that the Browns wouldn't have given up next year's first-round pick. In the draft, I think the best you can do is maneuver so that you get the guys you want--and the Browns did just that. Who really knows how the picks are going to pan out once you've made them? It's a violent sport. No idea why caitlyn doesn't like Joe Thomas, by the way. Looks like a pretty solid pick to me: he has long-term starter written all over him. Linemen get drafted in the first round too, you know. quote:
ORIGINAL: cloudboy Quinn played behind a suspect line and ND's roster wasn't all that star studded. Two of LSU receivers were drafted in the first round, and two of Ohio State's receivers were drafted on day one. (By matter of comparison.) Quinn's TD - INT ratio was excellent, and ND never lost a game because of his bad play. ND lost because it doesn't have the top-ten talent of other schools, particularly the likes of USC, MICH, and OH ST. Quinn will be very good to excellent in the NFL. CLE really turned around its offense.
