Since the Texans have beeen rumored to be interested in trade talks (about Carr), it might be likely if they do in fact trade Carr, they would Draft Brady Quinn.

Since they have the 8th pick one in front of us. If after signing Shea we are sold on Quinn who would you want to trade our picks with and for what?
 
It has also been reported that if Houston trades Carr then they will target Jake Plummer...free agency and trades will have a huge effect on what teams major needs are. Only a few more days until things start heating up!
 
Washington...if Quinn gets past Detroit and Cleveland and we want him...the Redskins are the best trading partner IMO. They need defense and can still take a quality defensive player at #9, plus we can trade them either a receiver or one of our defensive veterens (not Thomas or Taylor)
 
I don't want to see us trading up at all, unless it's for Joe Thomas or Calvin Johnson. If Quinn falls to us, wonderful, but if not, it wasn't meant to be and we get some other great player.

Exactly
 
In order to get Plummer the Texans may have to trade that #8 pick anyway, so its hard to tell just yet.
Latest rumor has the Broncos sending the Texans Tatum Bell, Plummer, and their #1 for the #8 overall. Broncos would then draft Peterson with that pick. So that trade might actually help us.

Normally I would agree about not trading up, but I think many "Quinn Haters" (so to speak) are missing the point on this guy. He's as NFL ready as any QB to come out of college since probably Peyton Manning. He might not be as good as Manning, but he's got NFL qualities. He's poised, intelligent, has an above average arm, makes big plays - and more than anything - seems to have the capacity to learn and get better (see transition from his sophomore to junior season).

I'm absolutely sold on this guy hook line and sinker. I'm too the point now where I'll be disappointed if we don't get him.

why would they have to trade their pick to get plummer? i thought he was a free agent?
 
Yeah, the big rumor is that Denver is wanting the #8 pick (Houston's) to possibly grab Peterson. They'd give up Plummer and T.Bell to get that pick. With Kubiak there, this may be possible if he thinks he can get more from Plummer/Bell than he would at that pick. I also don't think there's a huge appitite to take another chance on a rookie QB (like they did with Carr), so this may more sense to them than we think. The only thing that doesn't make sense in all this is that Shanny doesn't like to use early picks (especially first rounders on RB's). He's known for finding those diamonds in the rough in the later rounds. So all this may be a bunch of garbage (pre-draft smoke and mirrors).

I'm all for drafting Quinn if he is at 9, we'd be foolish to pass on him. But to give up all that to move up and get him, when he might fall. That just seems stupid.

And I hope you weren't lumping me in with the 'Quinn Haters.'

Not lumping you in - just pointing out what the actual haters usually overlook.

Hey, I rank Quinn a little higher than you, that's all. I would trade up for him, you wouldn't. I'm curious to find out what Randy and Co. feel about him!
