Going
back into the first round to get Brady
Quinn was a bold move. The Browns had
the best draft of anyone as they got a
franchise left tackle and a franchise
quarterback. And if Wright can stay out
of trouble they got a franchise corner
as well. This may go down as one of the
best drafts in NFL history. There are
three players in this draft that 5 years
from now can be the top three players at
their positions in the NFL. Not too
shabby

Joe Thomas
OT
Wisconsin
Analysis
This is the best left tackle
in the draft. There arent
even any questions about it.
The pick seemed a little off
at the time, but by trading
up to get Quinn, they ended
up with arguably two of the
best players.

Brady
Quinn
QB
Notre Dame
Analysis
The Browns
have achieved the best of
both worlds. They landed
their franchise quarterback
(despite his free fall from
upper tier of the first
round) and they have a
blocker who can help protect
him for many years to come.
Quinn will compete for the
starting spot in a crowded
backfield, joining Charlie
Frye and Derek Anderson both
of whome he is way better
than right now. Was next
year's first-round choice
too high a price? Not for a
franchise quarterback.

Value: 2 Pick Value: 3

Wright
CB
Nevada-Las
Vegas
Analysis
Wright
is a very good cornerback
who would have been taken in
the 15-20 range in Round 1
if it weren't for
off-the-field issues. He
might even be the best
corner in this draft. A
chance for sure, but one
worth taking. The Browns
gave up a lot to move up and
get him, but if he works out
he will be great.
