Miami's got to take Quinn, right? Culpepper, even if healthy THIS year, isn't going to hold up.

Seems like it's the smart pick, but the defense isn't getting younger either.

I liked the Quinn interview when asked about him sliding. "I hope I end up in a situation like Matt Leinart last year."

I can understand watching quinn fall. I still can't understand why leinart fell past the raiders. oh well......they got a guy that can throw it 84 yards. this russell looks sick.

Which is why I would take Quinn this year. First year new HC, aging defense, incomplete offense...this is a team that isn't going to win this year so it's time to start building the new foundation. They have a grand total of 2 offensive threats, Chris Chambers and Ronnie Brown.

Hey, you're a Cowboys fan, right? Who are you hoping for at 22?

Strengths: Possesses world-class speed. His initial burst is exceptional and very few defensive backs -- if any -- can keep pace with him in a sprint. He's at his best on vertical routes that give him time to get over the top of defenders in coverage. He also does well on quick-hitting throws and reverses that tend to maximize his acceleration in space. He flashes the ability to snatch the ball while still running on shorter routes, such as quick slants and "jailbreak" screens. He also does an above average job of tracking down the deep ball over his shoulder. He lacks ideal lateral quickness but what tends to go unnoticed is his ability to change directions subtly while still accelerating. He has become more adept at reading coverages and making himself available as a "hot" receiver. He has shown far more awareness as a junior than in the past.

Weaknesses: Is undersized. Possesses adequate height but is lean. Needs to get stronger. Not overly physical. Has never been adept at making the tough catch in traffic, particularly over the middle. He will get jammed at the line of scrimmage too frequently. Occasionally he will also drop a "catchable" pass because he's trying to get upfield without securing the ball first. While he's explosive in the open-field (after the catch and in the return game), he lacks exceptional lateral mobility to make many ankle-breaking, stop-on-a-dime type moves. He can still be too choppy getting in and out of breaks. He gets going so quickly that it becomes very difficult for him to make a sharp cut on an intermediate route without gearing down too much.

Overall: Ginn played in all 12 games with five starts as a true freshman in 2004 and made 25 receptions for 359 yards (14.4 average) and two touchdowns. In 2005, he started all 12 games and caught 51 passes for 803 yards (15.7 average) and four touchdowns. Over the course of the 2004 and 2005 seasons, Ginn also carried 25 times for 196 yards (7.8 average) and scored three touchdowns. Additionally, he has returned 40 punts for 634 yards (15.9 average) and five touchdowns and 20 kickoffs for 572 yards (28.6 average) and one more score. In 2006, he started all 13 games, and caught 59 passes for 781 yards (13.2 average) and nine touchdowns while being selected to the All-Big Ten second team. Ginn also added 706 yards and two touchdowns on 42 punt/kickoff returns. Ginn's exceptional speed is his best asset. However, he must become stronger and more polished as a route runner in order to fit the mold as a true No. 1 receiver in the NFL. Otherwise, he may never be more than a speedy No. 2 receiver with return ability. With that in mind, Ginn grades out as a risky mid-first round pick whose value is driven up considerably due to his potential game-breaking skills as a return specialist.

WOW!

 

[Espo]

Thank god we didn't make the biggest reach in the first 10 picks.

 

[Pariah]

whoa. Tedd Ginn over Quinn. That's a big mistake, IMO. BIG mistake.

 

[Pariah]

the defense isn't getting younger either.

Nope. It isn't.

Hey, you're a Cowboys fan, right? Who are you hoping for at 22?

for the defense i am hoping for alan branch. If we can play him at NT.....i look for our defense to drastically improve in the future. He can also play at the other dl positions as he can move for a big guy. I would say he is at the top of my wish list. I don't know that he will fall. I will pray....j/k.
For offense. I hope for jarrett. Unless someone feels they must have him. I'm pretty sure he'll be there. The cowboys are going to be hurting when they lose one of their starters at WR......that's gonna come sooner or later. Jarrett is a future pro-bowler IMO.

 

[arthurracoon]

and Brady Quinn is falling like a rock

they showed on ESPN - none of the teams comming up REALLY need a QB

 

[SuperSpck]

So Quinn falls to KC or BAL?

 

[Lorenzo]

that looks like an owner pick. is someone an alum?

 

[Gambit]

By far the dumbest pick of the year--it doesn't matter what happens next. Quinn was the right choice--the table was set and Miami blew it. Amazing.

 

[Pariah]

So...where's the next possibility for Quinn? Buffalo?


Here's a darkhorse: The Rams.
