You're trading away a bit of your future, but man... you get a great QB who is certain to be motivated due to his slippage. I thought the Quinn deal was a sensational one.

They moved up like 14 spots or damn near half a round. <br/><br/>If Quinn pans out like a top 5 QB this is a GREAT trade (for both teams). If not, if he's another Rick Mirer it's a bad one. Plain and simple. The cost doesn't matter. Cleveland was taking a QB at some point, probably with a #1 next year and now they have to pay their guy #22 $$ and not #3 money. That's a HUGE deal. <br/><br/>The Browns got (potentially) a franchise LT, franchise QB and a lockdown top 10 talent CB with their 3 picks. It's VERY hard to complain about that and is, on paper and at this stage, the best "hot off the press" job the Browns have done in the draft since '99. <br/><br/>I always come away from the draft, as far as the Browns go, upset, confused and empathetic. This was different. Very little? They moved up like 14 spots or damn near half a round.

No doubt he is a quality QB...but that was a lot of picks to move up very little. I think the Browns gave up too much to get him.

Just to recap, Pats get 3 quality WR's. You get a mediocore QB. Enjoy! Carson who? Enjoy Brady Quinn for those 23 draft picks. Just to recap, Pats get 3 quality WR’s. You get a mediocore QB. Enjoy!
