I forget, who does KC have at QB?
Matt Cassel
Thanks. Now why trade up? Was I thinking Washington would take a QB to replace Jason Campbell.

See, that's the thing. I think Washington, KC or even Tampa (who seems QB "happy") could take him and if not, I still think we'd have trade up because Holmgren's made it no secret we're taking a QB. Someone would leapfrog us, like Buffalo.

Reading into Mangini's comments and the statement about Wimbley from Holmgren, I could see this meaning that they may be close to acquiring Gocong.

I have no idea why the Browns would want a 6'0 QB who is injury prone

Boom.

Better than a 6'2" QB with poor mechanics.

Detroit has said they have been engaging in talks that lead them to believe they will make a deal to trade down from #2.

Remember when the Ratturds had that draft where they got Ogden & Ray Lewis? I truly believe that if these guys play their cards right that this could be the draft that defines the franchise for years to come.

They have the picks to go a number of different ways. This should be a good thing and lead to good results. I'm very curious as to which way they go.

I thought we had that draft in 2007 when we got our cornerstone LT (Thomas), a franchise QB (Quinn....way off the mark) and shutdown corner in Eric Wright (he's solid).

2007 was probably the best draft since the return. Although, the verdict is still out on last years draft. Still a little early to give a good judgement on some of the players.

Depending on his playing time in 2010 & 2010, the compensation (2012 draft pick) for Quinn could be as high as a 3rd....

The OBR mentioned that the Browns may be close on making a move on a RFA player (no name yet).

More QB news...

This is the kid I thought holmgren would fall in love with all along... I don't neccesarly think he may be the best but he has alot of attributes QB coaches will love.

Wouldn't you know it....after we pick up Delhomme, now the Eagles are loosening their demands on the compensation for McNabb and are entertaining offers.

Do you think we would go after him despite signing Delhomme?

Man, I don't know. I'm hearing they still having something "up their sleeve" regarding QB but I don't know if that means trade or draft.
