Is Robert Quinn a top-5 NFL Draft pick? It's well within his reach

Even though he sat out last season because of his involvement in the agent scandal at North Carolina, at least one prominent draft analyst believes Quinn will be one of the first names called when the draft starts April 28. "I think he'll go in the top five," said the NFL Network's Mike Lombardi, a former NFL executive. (Charlotte Observer)
