Hope I won't get banned like I almost did for saying that Dom Capers was a poor choice for HC and for saying we should have drafted Clinton Portis instead of Jabar Gaffney...but here goes! If we turn around and draft Notre Dames Brady Quinn after turning up our noses at Vince Young how will it look? Will it be like admitting that we were WRONG on David Carr?
I'm not banning you from this thread but I do ask that you refrain from turning it into a David Carr/Vince Young thread.
I am going to answer your question though because it kind of plays into why you draft Brady Quinn anyhow.
My suggestion is that if Brady Quinn falls in our lap that would mean Joe Thomas and Adrian Peterson are gone. With Brady Quinn, we can become players in this draft.
You turn around and see what you can get for him. If it turns into two picks in the first or two other first day picks and a lineman or something go for it.
If you get nothing for him, you got your QB to groom and who cares if it looks like we were wrong. We already look like we were wrong but at least we are showing we are doing our best to correct what we do.
Not a bad idea but I think a team would be more willing to trade for our pick when it's our turn, then after the fact. You might not be able to trade Quinn untill you sign him and a team may be unhappy with the contract, and you might take a big hit.
What happened there with Phillip Rivers and Eli Manning? I know eli was picked #1 by the chargers but when did the trade go through? Is this sort of like what your suggesting we do?
Share with us! Who in the NFL would need Brady Quinn more than we do? The point being....if we happened to get Brady Quinn we had better keep him and play him! And in that same vain. Why draft the Oklahoma RB after passing on Reggie Bush? Makes the same statement as did my point on the QB's.
I don't see the Texans drafting a qb with their no.1 pick this year. The qb class is no where as good (potentially great) as it was last year. Brady Quinn is the top qb but there are real question about him. He has played behind a shaky o-line most of his career and we don't know how adversly it's affected him. He's a good player but compared to last year's class I don't know how good he is. I see the Texans picking up a qb later in the draft and grooming him for a year or two.
Oakland, Detroit, Chicago, and Miami to name a few...
But let me add this, we need Adrian Peterson more than a gamble that someone would want to trade the farm for Quinn..
who cares?Will it be like admitting that we were WRONG on David Carr?
who cares?
If AP and Thomas are gone we try to trade the pick as imo no one else in top 10 picks are a turn around type player. We need an impact made with this selection even if it is a trade.
Does anyone think Lynch or Landry will be an impact player such as Peterson or Thomas would be if available? I'm just saying a 4th pick is very valuable and last draft doesn't make me drool over trade down scenario.I think we would try to trade down and get either LaRon Landry or Marshawn Lynch with a mid round first pick.
I still think the biggest wild card in the draft is going to be Jamarcus Russell. The Sugar Bowl is going to be very interesting because with Notre Dame's weak defense and LSU's strong defense coupled with the game being played in New Orleans, there is a more than reasonable chance that he will out play the consensus number 1 pick just like last year with Vince v. Leinart / Bush.

If we pick up a cb like Clemmons in F/A and a DT and LB in draft, our secondary will not be weak. I support my position as Kubes didn't draft a safety. He thought Pbuc would work out and Earl and CC Brown would hold down the middle. If the corner had worked and with Ryans, Williams and Weaver he would have been right. Most of us thought that Babin/ Peek would upset the QB more than happened. Carr is not the only one that did not hold up his load and I think we will discover that once he is no longer the target of fan wrath, deserved or not.While I agree to a point, Landry could be just as valuable because of how weak our secondary is and I wouldn't sell Lynch short, the guy is very talented and easily could turn out to be better than Peterson.
Or we could do what i do in Madden. Sign all the big free agents and then trade them to teams for their 1st rounder the following year.
One draft I got:
Joe Thomas
Adrian Peterson
Calvin Johnson
Patrick Willis
Daymeion Hughes
LaRon Landry
all with first rounders...
And your cap dollars were....1 or 2 billion?
