ESPN And Quinn In Bed Together

If you watched ESPN and Mel Kiper during the NFL draft, you saw them trying to increase hair challenged Brady Quinn's value. The only problem is that the GMs knew that Quinn was not a top prospect.

Dick Harmon of the Deseret Morning News had a great analysis of the situation. "As it turned out, in the eyes of NFL folks that counted, Cleveland and Miami both passed on Quinn, as did Detroit and Minnesota and 17 other "chance" picks in the first round. Then the Browns frantically traded to get a shot at Quinn for a far less value than Kiper had set him up for.

Perhaps a dose of reality?"
