Really? A first and second rounder for Robert Quinn? No thanks.

I'd take him for sure, but not for two picks. No way. There are too many DE in this draft to trade up for one IMO. None of them appear to be Julius Peppers or Mario Williams types to me.


You're kidding right? Quinn was the top player in the country going into this season, and had he not gotten suspended he'd go top 5 if not higher.

He is a freak of nature and it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if he ended up being the best player in this draft by a good bit after everyone's career is over.

latest strong speculation brings Bowers and Quinn to even more probability.

Quinn at #15 would be great, at #19 is crazy gotta have a few shots for good. Suhweet to jump division rival Bucs on top of it all.

JJ Watt is a DE that I'd love to see the Saints trade up to get. I'm just not sure that its worth a third round pick to get him.

I like Watt but kinda mixed on him as for the Saints. As a 3-4DE he might be the best. In a 4-3 I hear referred to as a workhorse. A good pash rusher but it's not his forte. More of an all around DE. Similar vein with Jordan or Heyward. Confident in our FO tho. If they picked him or traded up to get him I'd be happy.

Things I'm reading about him: Great motor; good work ethic; high football IQ.

Not the best edge rusher, which is a need.

His stock is climbing so fast I don't really think we can get to him from 24.

I doubt 24 for him either. Hard to see him past all of Cowdungs, Texans, Pats, & Chargers. Don't quite see him as the trade up for guy. Prefer those who pass rush would be rated as their strength to do that. (Quinn, Smith, Bowers, Kerrigan)
