here you are fin fans. I am not sure if it was posted, but a Bill fan with the insider helping you out if not. Dont say all us bills fans are bad people LOL.

In my latest first-round projection, I have underclassmen making up half of the top 32 picks, including 12 of the first 20 spots on the board.
I still have LSU junior QB JaMarcus Russell going with the first overall pick to Oakland. However, the biggest buzz could center around Oklahoma junior RB Adrian Peterson (6-1½, 223 pounds). His workout numbers at the NFL combine should look something like this: 4.37 in the 40-yard dash; 38-inch vertical leap; and eight percent body fat. I have Peterson going to Cleveland, which will have either the third or fourth pick, depending on a coin flip tiebreaker with Tampa Bay; but there also could be several teams interested in trading up to get Peterson.
If Peterson does go to Cleveland, Notre Dame QB Brady Quinn could slide to the Dolphins with the ninth pick. The reason Quinn would fall to Miami? Teams picking after Cleveland (possibly Tampa Bay, Arizona, Washington, Minnesota and Houston) don't need a quarterback. You could make a case for the Texans or Vikings to draft Quinn, but I don't expect that to happen.
The Seattle Seahawks are the only team that does not have a first-round pick because of the trade they made with the Patriots to acquire WR Deion Branch. Seattle could use another wide receiver and, ironically, this draft has a lot of great pass catchers. (I'm projecting seven wide receivers will go in the first round.)
My next first-round projection will be the first week of March following the NFL combine.
(Note: a coin flip between the Cleveland Browns and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will determine which team has the third pick and which team has the fourth choice.)

It would be real interesting to see what Quinn could do if he landed here. I would rather the fins draft an O-Line man with their 1st round pick, but i wouldn't complain if we got Quinn either. Thanks for the info!

No prob. I will say I do "hate" the fins twice a year, but do cheer for them when they are not playing the Bills
 
Man, I hope this mock is right. I think that the Texans might take Quinn though since they are looking to get Plummer, trade Carr, and possibly develop a young talent as well.

Thomas won't be there at 9, so basically what you are saying is we should reach for an O-lineman rather than draft a potential franchise QB. :shakeno:

Say no to Brady Quinn, Culpepper will be the man.

One has nothing to do with the other. Most rookie QB's aren't expected to come right in and light it up. Marino and Manning were exceptions. Even Elway struggled his rookie year.
Most franchises would prefer to let their future franchise QB's sit on the bench for a season or 2.

You cant give up a 1st or 2nd for a qb... 3 STRAIGHT YEARS!!! Its stupid

You know, when you put it like that, it makes sense....

But since the first one was a very big mistake and the second one is debatable....a new HC just might do it.....

With a potential franchise QB on the board, Cam will not have a choice....unless Thomas is there....Branch available also makes it interesting
 
I would take Quinn in a heart beat to sit behind C-Pepp for a year or 2. We need that franchise QB for the long haul. I'm sick and tired of taking someone else's sloppy 2nd's
