What were the Dolphins thinking???

[Danzig]

i can't believe that quinn wasn't taken, who knows where he'll get picked now. i don't think anyone saw this coming, a huge shock--he must be physically ill at this point. so much more amazed at this then at houstons miscalculation in skipping bush last year!!!

This is fun to watch.

Quinn is a class act as shown in his interview a few minutes ago, I'm not concerned about him but I simply don't understand Miami. Cleveland still may make a deal and get Quinn. By the way, Loved my Skins' pick! Come across the middle against us next year...

my son (and fellow 'skins fan) asked if they would take quinn if he was still available, i said no, they needed help in their secondary-so thrilled that they got that kid, love to see those lsu players do well.
i know cleveland is moving heaven and earth trying to move up, they want quinn-good luck to them.

BABA, there is a reason that other top recievers dont kr/pr. THey are much to valuable to risk to injury. Ginn has great speed great quickness, and very shaky hands. Going purely on wr play, he was not the bets reciever on the team. This was a huge huge reach.

I had it Johnson, Ginn, Jarrett

I think Ginn is very overrated.

but why ginn? is he the one who made the video and sent to everyone in the nfl, showing he was 'back'?

Ginn, the one with substandard hands. Please, this kid is quick as ice, but he's never going to be a solid nfl reciever. Quinn would have given them stability at qb, but instead they take someone who really is not healthy and when speed is your main attribute, thats not good. The dolphins screwed the pooch. Saying all that though quinn is taking it very well. By now i would have gone berserk and would have been destroying the green room and telling the espn reporters to gfy .

Bingo. They noticed what the kid for Chi town did for the Bears last year and what Dante Hall had done for the Chiefs. The position has become an impact spot. And he is your two or three receiver. Having stated the following, I would not have done this. I think an arguement could be made that they might have waited and still got Ginn.

I think u have it right. Without Hester, Chicago gets nowhere close to the Super Bowl. Dante Hall almost single-handedly carried the Chiefs for a while. Desmond Howard was a Super Bowl MVP wasn't he? Eric Metcalf anyone? Not only has the position become an impact spot, guys are much more able to come in and make an IMMEDIATE impact from those positions. A guy that plays strictly at wide receiver, say he catches 80 passes a season. That's five a game. Maybe he gets about 8-10 carries a year on reverses. So u have around 90 times a season that he handles the ball. A guy that handles it on punts and kick returns and also as a receiver has many more chances to make an impact on a game. Last year, Donte Hall handled the ball 115 times. The year before that, it was 154 times. Devin Hester handled it 79 times last year and didn't even play on offense. I would want my most exciting and potential game breaking players to handle the ball as much as I can get it in their hands. In my opinion, Ginn has as much chance to be an impact player as Johnson or any other player does.

The Browns made out like Bandits. They had their 3rd overall pick down to Quinn and Thomas, and took the big man Thomas, but also ended up landing Quinn later. They have 2 of the top 3 picks in this years draft in their eyes, and this has to be one of the biggest steals of all time.

Brady Quinn showed that he is a class act, and I know he will be a very good QB for a long time in the NFL. I am a NINERS fan, but go BROWNS as well!!!

You can use whatever u want in your signature, I don't take care. I just find it funny how you guys thought it was the "cool" thing to do and that you looked sweet if you took something that someone said and put it as your signature. Whatever floats your boat.

The Dolphins apparently fulfilled this year's quota for dumbest pick. Although they didn't graduate with the marks the Texans did last year, I still can't believe they didn't pick Quinn. Now I'm no Quinn fan and personally I think he's way over rated, but he was the one to take. No doubt about that...
