This is just some things I've been thinking about. Not saying any of this is going to actually happen, just saying that if it did it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
First let us assume that JeMarcus Russel is valued over Brady Quinn on team's draft boards. If Oakland signs David Carr as they're trying to do they're going to pick Calvin Johnson at #1. That blows up most any trade possibility Detroit has because I feel most teams are trying to get #2 for Calvin Johnson. The question here is, do the Lions take a QB with Jon Kitna on the team? I don't think they do. I think they go with Joe Thomas to try and invigorate that offense that features Roy Williams and Kevin Jones.
Cleveland at #3 I think is 100% looking at Adrian Peterson. Cleveland is looking at Trent Green and if they acquire him I strongly doubt that they draft a QB in the first round.
Tampa Bay has an interesting spot. If JeMarcus Russel has fallen this far do they nab him here? Chris Simms future is in question and Jeff Garcia isn't the long term answer there.
Washington/Chicago will most likely not be looking at QB. Arizona has Matt Leinart. Minnesota could pose a problem. If they feel Tarvaris Jackson isn't the answer they could be looking at Quinn/Russel. But the rumors I've been hearing have Drew Bledsoe going to the Vikings which tells me that they want to give Jackson a chance.
Atlanta has Vick and wont be after a QB in the first round. So that leaves Miami sitting at #9 with the possibility of Quinn/Russel dropping to us. If Oakland gets Carr and Cleveland gets Green I think we only have to worry about Detroit and Minny in front of us unless someone jumps up in the draft to take a QB. But looking at the teams in the NFL there aren't that many outside of the top 10 that have a pressing need at QB.
Like I said already, this is all my opinion. I'm not saying it's going to happen. I'm not saying it's not. I'm just throwing it out there as a scenario where we could get Brady Quinn if the Fins decide he's our guy. But I would like to know just how feasable you guys think this is.
