WHAT?!?! (NFL Draft)

[RTTingle]

No way could Brady Quinn drop so far...

... that I would hope the Miami Dolphins would be so lucky as to get the chance to pick him.

... only to pick someone else!!!!

I think I'm going to be sick.

Calvin Johnson.

I'm surprised Brady Quinn dropped as far as he did, but I like the trade the Cowboys pulled off with the Browns to let Cleveland get him. (I'm a Cowboys fan, and I think it was a good move on Dallas' part - couldn't care less about what happens with Quinn and the Browns)

Don't want to start an argument, but I think Quinn is a bit overrated because he played for Notre Dame. There are certain schools where players who end up in the NFL draft get overrated because of what school they play for, and Notre Dame is one of them.

Brady did get a lot of attention because of his Notre Dame pedigree, his golden-boy look, and even the all-American "quarterbackish" sounding name. He was indeed successful leading the Irish but, if you drilled down into what the analysts and scouts were seeing, not too many were over-the-top crazy about his potential as an elite NFL quarterback.  The conventional wisdom seemed to be saying that he could turn out to be a solid, productive QB at the pro level.  I think he went just about right, maybe a little lower than he should have.
