Reportedly, Dan Quinn will leave Seattle after this year to be named the Jets HC, with Kyle Shanahan as the OC.
 
 
Between Shane Ray, Dante Fowler, Vic Beasley, and Randy Gregory, they'll get that LEO edge rusher most likely, unless they trade back to like, #13, to get a corner.

Also, looking at the 2011 Draft, aside for the QBs taken, all of the players players in the first half of the first round have been REALLY good
 
Von Miller
Marcel Dareus
AJ Green
Patrick Peterson
Julio Jones
Aldon Smith
Tyron Smith
JJ Watt
Nick Fairley
Robert Quinn
Mike Pouncey
Ryan Kerrigan
 
Aside for Pouncey and Fairley, these dudes are all studs

I posted something about the top half of the '11 draft a while back.  Ridiculous amount of talent.

Not sure why you included Buster Skrine on that list, assuming you meant to focus on good players

No but it sounds like you and BWare did
 
Yeah, well I won't ever be picking them to win one again. Bware was right, they just waste a playoff spot, which I was then shocked to see him pick Cincinnati. I thought after four times in a row, they could win one but I was wrong. Lesson learned

Marvin Lewis is the second longest tenured coach in the league.  12 years without a playoff win.

I was calling for him to be fired years ago and people were saying I was crazy. What I cannot stand is these people saying he's the right man for the job because he has taken Cincinnati from horrible to respectable. Basically saying if they made a change, they could go back to what they were before. I don't buy into that one bit. I gave up on him years ago. The last four years in the playoffs, the Bengals have looked identical in every game. In the 6 playoff games in the second half, the Bengals have scored a COMBINED 13 points......

I just thought it was crazy to see both you and BWare so confident in them. Which is why I was ribbing both of you haha. I'm no NFL insider but I watch every Sunday and to me I thought the Colts were a much better team than the Bengals, especially given that AJ Green was out. The Bengals are really just a middle of the pack team...

Bet they wouldn't be with real coaching and a good QB.

The Browns only hope at success is Jimmy Haslam getting indicted.

Holy shit, what a draft class. Sherman, Harris, Peterson, and Smith are all top 10 corners, plus the three best pass rushers in the game are in that draft class (Watt, Houston, Miller).
 
I'd say Denver had the best draft class of any team that year with Miller, Harris, Thomas, and Franklin (other players include Rahim Moore, Nate Irving, and Virgil Green, all see significant playing time).

Jimmy Smith is NOT a top 10 corner. Not even close.
