Quinn is not a franchise QB but he will go #1 to either Oakland or Detroit because they need a quarterback. Calvin Johnson will be a better pro. Quinn has problems being consistent downfield throwing the ball. And for those that don't watch him play, watch Colt Brennan of Hawaii in their bowl game. He's not your typical Hawaii "sling it around, I'm not a good pro" quarterback. His stock has been rising this year and if he decides to come out, he could be in the mix. It's still way too early to predict anything

David Carr did it in 2002. Carson Palmer followed suit the next year. Now Brady Quinn is ready to join the list of quarterbacks who have parlayed an appearance in the Senior Bowl into the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft.
Quinn, Notre Dame's record-setting quarterback who finished third in the recent Heisman Trophy balloting, has officially accepted an invitation to play in the Under Armour Senior Bowl on Jan. 27 at Ladd-Pebbles Stadium.
"We've had a great run of quarterbacks in the draft, particularly with those guys going No. 1 overall," said Vic Knight, Senior Bowl media relations director.

"Since Carr and Palmer went No. 1, we've had Philip Rivers in 2004, Jason Campbell in 2005 and Jay Cutler last year. I think all of these quarterbacks realize what a great chance this is to be in this environment and be around and work with NFL coaching staffs."
Draft expert Mel Kiper currently has Quinn as the No. 1 overall player on his draft board. That board does not include any juniors who might decide to enter the draft a year early.
Quinn led Notre Dame to a 10-2 record this season and back-to-back BCS bowl appearances. Most impressive among his statistics -- which include 3,278 yards passing as a senior -- is his touchdown-to-interception ratio of 7-to-1. In 12 games this season, Quinn has thrown 35 touchdown passes and only five interceptions.
When Quinn gets to Mobile next month, he will have the advantage of throwing to his two favorite college receivers. In all, five Notre Dame players have accepted invitations to the Senior Bowl.
Quinn will be joined by wide receivers Jeff Samardzija and Rhema McKnight, offensive lineman Ryan Harris and defensive end Victor Abiamiri.
"We are excited to have the University of Notre Dame so well represented in this year's Senior Bowl," said Senior Bowl President Steve Hale. "The tremendous success enjoyed by Notre Dame is a credit to these five outstanding seniors and we're looking forward to showcasing their talents throughout Senior Bowl Week 2007."
Samardzija is one of the most interesting prospects in this year's senior class. The 6-foot-5, 217-pounder is the top-rated wide receiver and No. 10 overall prospect on Kiper's draft list, but he has some professional options. Samardzija played in the Chicago Cubs minor league farm system last summer. He holds the Notre Dame record for career receptions with 171, career touchdown catches with 26 and receiving yards with 2,534.
McKnight, 6-1, caught 64 passes for 885 yards and tied Samardzija's school record with 15 touchdowns in 2006, which ranked second in the nation this season. He currently ranks second in school history with 22 scoring catches and is fifth in career yards with 2,255.
Abiamiri led the Irish in 2006 with 10 quarterback sacks and also had 14.5 tackles for loss.
Harris was a Walter Camp All-American selection in 2005 and has started 34 consecutive games for the Irish at left tackle.
