2007 NFL Draft (Projections/Mock Drafts/Evaluations/Draft)

We also hurt a division rival by doing this. Baltimore was getting ready to make this exact same trade until Cleveland swooped in at the last minute and did it. Baltimore's staff and Clevelands must be dumber than you.

Unless that is the Cowboys bluffed the Browns?

NFL Network said that Quinn was on the phone with Baltimore until the Browns called back the Cowboys and said they would do the exact same deal that Baltimore was going to do. Obviously the Cowboys would rather do it with Cleveland b/c they have a higher 2nd round pick.

Then it isn't the same exact deal.

Regardless, I believe Cleveland was bluffed, plain and simple.

BTW, I like glass one-third full stance on the value of the pick to the Browns. I just don't agree with the notion that Cleveland needed to spend so highly to get the goods.

San Diego needs to take an SC guy to make the transition to LA easier.

Quinn said during his interview that he was on the phone with Baltimore and they were telling him that they were very close to having the deal done to move up and get him, so it wasn't the Cowboy's bluffing.

bottom line is that cleveland was quite likely to be picking a qb in the early 1st round next year.

what you have to ask yourself is whether or not colt brennen and brian brohm are better than brady quinn. the answer is no. that was logic behind the move, and I can't say I disagree with it.

you also forget that 1. cleveland has a one time $6 mill cap bump this year that will be used to probably accelerate some bonuses thereby lessening the cap hit in future years, and 2. that without having to shell out 1st round pick money, cleveland can afford to spend a little more in FA to fill the needs you point out.

the myopic view some have of the situation is puzzling.

TE Greg Olson to San Diego.

Alan Branch is in a free fall.

It might have been the Ravens who were bluffing

Well, it's more "is Brady Quinn better than Brennan/Brohm plus whoever we would take with our #2 this year"

Damned Chargers

 

[TGfan06]

Craig Davis???

Jarrett would be a much better pick here! Or for that matter, so would gonzo!

 

[THEWOOD]

TE Greg Olson to San Diego.

actually he will be picked by the Bears

if you want to narrowly interpret it that way, assuming cleveland doesn't use that draft pick money to sign a FA next year, or even during June cuts.

Or, it might have been the truth.

I'd agree that Brennen has question marks (past character, currently "product of system") Brohm I think it hinges on his Senior performance, speaking of which what about John David Booty, or ... another player who shows up for a stellar Senior season?

 

[Buckin' A]

My bad...I am losing my mind. thinking one thing and typing another.

 

[Buckin' A]

Davis before Gonzo?

Except that tells us nothing about the value the Ravens were willing to put on the table. (And, yes the Cowboys or Ravens or both - independently - could have been bluffing).

Kiper is an idiot... it's hilarious listening to him throw out 40 times and basically saying that is the most important "stat" of a football player. You can tell Keyshawn is getting frustrated with Mel.
