Glover Quin, DB - Round 4, 112th Overall

[popanot]

IMO, this pick is right up Smith and Kubiak's alley as far as mid-to-late round picks. Relative unknown, good athlete, good attitude and work ethic guy with huge upside potential. They took a similar guy last year in Molden.

This is a pretty good analysis of at him:

Whew!.....Talk about out of left field. You will have to show me he is in the same category as Moulden last year. At least Moulden was on the radar.

I live in Albuquerque, and so have watched Glover Quin over the years, and we got a really solid player.

Hes a versatility guy, can play some FS and can play some corner. Lacks elite acceleration but is a good man corner. He has some serious ball skills and makes some great plays on the ball when it is in the air. He doesn't get burned but may have some trouble with some of the smaller faster receivers.

He's physical at the line of scrimmage and isn't afraid to throw his body around.

Sounds like a similar type of player (if not the same caliber) as Eugene Wilson was coming out of college - a player to groom.

Honestly he reminds me of Jacques Reeves, but a little more physical.

Mayock thinks he can play inside or outside and just said it was a good pick. That makes me breathe easier.

This is one reason I don't pay attention to fans 7 round mocks or lists on the internet, there are just too many players that we have never seen/heard of and it is impossible to attempt to evaluate and grade these later round guys.

I guess they're thinking CB. From the Texans' site:

"They told me I was coming in as a corner," Quin said of his conversations with Texans coaches. "I'm looking to play the nickel corner and just keep practicing and try to move into the starting lineup."

A native of Summit, Miss., Quin was honorable mention all-conference his first two seasons at New Mexico and was credited with two picks and 20 pass breakups. He began his career at Southwest Mississippi Junior College, redshirting his first season with a broken right arm.

"I think that you can always improve your defense with corners," general manager Rick Smith said on Wednesday before the draft. "I think you’ve got to take corners all the time. You look at the two drafts that I’ve run so far, and I’m going to always take corners because I don’t think you can have enough guys that can cover and run and hit and do all those things that we ask them to do."
