Quinn is pretty much a physical prototype for a Belichick 3-4 OLB. 6'5" and should be 270+ lbs by the draft. Legit 4.6 speed with a variety of pass rush moves. His closest pro comparison would be Demarcus Ware...only Quinn is bigger! The Pats likely didn't have much of a chance to get Ware in 2005.
Perhaps not, but wouldn't I have LOVED to've seen them trade their 2nd 2004 1st Rounder forward ~ instead of taking Watson!! ~ to a struggling team, like we did in trading the #28 in 2007 to the Miners for the #7 in 2008!!
Ware pretty much would've fallen right in our laps.
If the Pats have a chance to get Quinn next year (particularly with several mid-round picks in a shallow draft to use for maneuvering), I'll probably explode.
