On Colin Cowherd's ESPN show today, Mel Kiper finally said if Brady Quinn entered the draft this year, he'd be picked ahead of Leinart hands-down and would challenge Reggie Bush for the top spot! Cowherd agreed 100% with Kiper.
I doubt that Quinn will come out........but
What do you think?
That's weird...I just saw Kiper on TV two days ago saying that Bush was clearly the #1 pick, Leinart #2, Young #3....and then he added that Quinn would be in the top 5.
When pressed about Young moving ahead of Leinartt, Kiper was very clear that there was no way....it's possible a couple of teams might have him there, but it would be a mistake because he's only had this one year of better decision making....Leinart has been consistant for 3 years according to Kiper. That was also his knock on Quinn....that he improved dramatically under Weiss, but Leinart had to be #1 among QBs because of his consistancy over 3 years, losing only 1 game.
He also said that Leinart had taken his game to another mental level this year, and that this is the time of year when scouts make the mistake of looking for reasons not to like a guy, but that it's also easy to argue that Leinart isn't only surrounded by great players, but perhaps is responsible for making the guys around him better and more successful.
Brady Quinn will not be selected ahead of either USC guy, and I'm shocked that Kiper would contradict himself that way.
