That would sit very well with me. Both of those guys could have easily been Top 10 picks had they not been suspended, hell Quinn still could. They would also fill 2 of our Top 3 needs. Fyreball - If Austin has a good showing at UNC's pro day, I definitely see him sneaking into the 1st. He's obviously not getting the pub that Fairley and Dareus are getting, but he's just as good of a prospect IMO.
I would rather try to trade back and get both J. Smith and A. Williams. However, if this lockout continues past the draft, which it likely will I seriously doubt teams will be looking to give up multiple picks for few picks.

As DonkeyMagic said, I am all for going with the UNC boys in back-to-back rounds. Quinn's a phenomenal athlete in space, and has the ability to wreak havoc off the edge in the 3-4 system, and Austin's an absolute rhino in the middle. He's the most underrated prospect in the Draft, IMO. I wouldn't mind opting for Prince in the 1st if he's available... but, if Austin's on the board in the 2nd, it's a no-brainer. He's a legitimate top-15 talent.
that's impressive that Quinn shaved some time off. Granted, pro days can be less accurate, he still showed improvements
