If you are that high on Quinn, then you have to be aggressive.
There are a few teams in the first that might have taken him anyway. Carolina has soured on Delhomme, Baltimore still needs a long term QB, Chicago could use a new QB as well. I'm not sure any of those teams would have passed on Quinn.
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.
