We ain't talkin' bout no Tom Brady here, folks.
They gave up a 2nd this year and a 1st next year, right?Quote:

NO SHIT H1 Man!
Is Quinn good enough to give up on a SURE top 5 pick next year? Hell no! Man, something is wrong in Cleveland. They must have been watching ESPN cry about Quinn for four hours and felt sorry for him.
I have a suspiscion that 5 years from now Cleveland will be praised for this move. If I'm wrong, fine, but they were aggressive and I can't blame them.
they were aggressive because he became severely cheaper at that lower pick. Meaning that they arent ready to pay him franchise blue chip money. Its good value, but way too much was gien up. Pay attention to whoever Dallas and where they are five years from now.Quote:

Or at least traded that pick to Miami for them to take him? You can't take the chance that someone else might trade up and get him ahead of you. If you are that high on Quinn, then you have to be aggressive.Quote:

I'm not saying they paid a good price, I'm just saying that they were probably wise to go after him and not wait for him to slide more.
The price does seem high, but look at it this way...........
If they sucked next year with Charlie Frye they were looking at a top 5 pick........maybe they get lucky and get Brohm, but if they aren't and have to settle for the 2nd best QB (Booty, Henne or anyone else) they are going into 2009 with a rookie QB and may have a pissed off Winslow and Edwards by then, not to mention Romeo is fired for sure. Now there pick might still be top 5 or even 10 and they won't have it, but they will go into 2009 with the same coach, a 2nd year QB who presumably knows the system and a young nucleus minus Jamal Lewis that is potent. Long term it could be good IMO.
