Would you trade a top five '09 pick for Brady Quinn?
 

Given the shakey nature of the up coming QB class, would you consider unloading a top 5 pick for him?

No.

I'd give a second and maybe a fourth. Let's speak realistically here. You've lost two years to develop him and the Browns probably don't want his giant-ass salary for a backup.

More than likely.

Depending on how this college season goes, and who declares..I think he's definitely a great prospect, and we'd be lucky to take him away from the Browns.

Uh no, I don't really like Brady Quinn.

Why would his value have increased from ~#22 overall to #5 overall?

Nah, he's a dick.

Besides, we have our quarterback. He was good enough to outduel Carson Palmer and Philip Rivers last year. He was good enough to outduel Marc Bulger and THE AMAZING MATT LEINART the year before.

Huard has 4-5 good years left. Then we can find our young QB!

Top 5? No. Not unless he plays in the regular season and proves something. There is a reason Quinn fell so far in the draft, he isn't an elite qb prospect.

Absolutely not.

If we end up with a top-5 pick, take BPA and sign McNabb. We still need a CB, a MLB, another WR and another OT. We're not just a QB away, no sense in reaching for one just yet.

If they'd consider a 2nd rounder for him, I'd do it. I might even consider swapping firsts, but I absolutely wouldn't give up the 1st straight up.

Yes. I would trade our 1st round pick, right now, RIGHT FRIGGIN' NOW...for Brady Quinn.

No doubt about it.

McNabb is going to have a monster year. He isn't going anywhere. He is the most underrated QB...maybe ever. The dude, when healthy, is awesome. If he plays 16 games, they are going to give the Cowboys a run for their money.

It really boils down to whether you think he has decent potential as a franchise QB. If you think he does and he pans out, it doesn't matter what slot you draft him in.

Why do you say that? Not arguing, just curious.

Think about it...

We trade our pick for Quinn...we get a top 5 talent QB...probably more NFL ready and a better prospect than anyone in next years class (him and Stafford are similar, come on)...yet you are paying him like a #21 overall pick...

Not only does it make sense, but financially, it's totally reasonable.

But if Derek Anderson turns in a few more performances like he did today, we might be talking about trading a 3rd for Derek Anderson instead =)

I would, absolutely. The Browns will likely have to deal him after this year as they've got a massive salary and a first round pick that will look mighty inticing to use as trade bait once they under achieve again this year.
