As "experts" get ready for the upcoming draft, they should pay close attention to the demise of QB Brady Quinn in Cleveland. He was traded yesterday to the Denver Broncos for FB Peyton Hillis and a 2011 draft pick.
During the 2007 draft, Quinn from Notre Dame, was expected to be the number one overall pick. Instead, he dropped down to 22nd before being selected by the Browns. The draft gurus were shocked to see the drop so far down. Surely, the NFL scouts had made a huge mistake they said.
Quinn had little success with the Browns, compiling a 3-89 record in 12 starts. Ironically, the Broncos attempted to trade for him last season when they were trying to replace Jay Cutler.
Head Coach Josh MacDaniels must see some thing that he likes in Quinn. Maybe a change of scenery will do him good and help resurrect his career. Perhaps the "experts" are correct in downplaying the skills of QB Tim Tebow as the 2010 draft approaches.
Draft selection is not indicative of future success in the NFL. Tom Brady lasted until the 6th round of the 2000 draft. They really blew that call.
