Cleveland got two of the top 6 players in the draft, and Eric Wright is a pretty darn good looking corner as well. Nice draft thus far.

i think they 2of the top 3 in draft this is 1 of the beast drafts ive seen

This is the best first round drafting I've ever seen. The fact that they could get Thomas AND Quinn, and save money on Quinn is great.

This was the best draft of the year, no doubt. Even if you include the moves New England made, I don't think they equal what Cleveland did. That being said however, had Miami taken Brady Quinn at #9, I think you would be looking at one of the worst drafts of the year. Cleveland stumbled into a good draft here.

I disagree. If they take Thomas at #1 and Miami pulls Quinn of the board, Cleveland still uses that #2 pick on Beck or Edwards without losing too much. Sure, they don't get all the hype around this incredible move they made to get back into the first round for Quinn, but in terms of sheer quality of athlete, they wouldn't lose all that much.

True, they definitely would've gotten a quarterback with their #2 pick...however like most drafts, quarterbacks get overhyped. Look at last year with Brodie Croyle, Kellen Clemens and another one whom I can't recall right now. Lots of talk heading into draft day but I doubt you'll ever see them starting for a winning NFL team. It's basically a crapshoot with most quarterbacks and from what everyone is saying, Quinn is one of those rare guarantees.
