You don't think we'd take Bowers over Quinn?

IMO, Quinn is much more athletic than Bowers and could make that transition easier. Both could easily play a 4-3, but Bowers would struggle as a 3-4 OLB and is likely limited to the 4-3 DE.
But that could change the more these guys are combed over...it's very early.

You actually think the CBA gets done before the Draft?

Both sides would be insane to let this drag on until after the draft. The players want their free agency money, and the teams want to know what they'll need before they draft. There's big-time motivation on both sides to get the deal done, likely within a few weeks of the draft.
Postuing is one thing, but when you start impacting people's wallets, they get real motivated real quick.

He says that The Cards get either McNabb or Alex Smith and there is no possible way that can happen if the CBA isnt worked before the draft

I know Bowers might not fit as a 3-4 OLB but dang that guy is just too talented to pass up if hes there IMO. He's maybe the 2nd best player in the draft after Fairley

Upon closer scutiny (which he hasn't had yet), I think Bowers will be looked at as a very good 4-3 DE, but not necessarily a game-changer.

Hey, what else is there to do?
1.) Carolina - Nick Fairley, DT (Auburn)
They seriously consider Green and Peterson, but settle on the disruptive Fairley
2.) Denver - Patrick Peterson, CB (LSU)
A rare talent at a position of absolute need for the Broncos
3.) Buffalo - Marcell Dareus, DT (Alabama)
The Bills look to improve the worst run defense in the league
4.) Cincinnati - A.J. Green, WR (Georgia)
The Palmer situation gets worked out, and he gets a shiny new toy
5.) Arizona - Von Miller, OLB (Texas A&M)
McNabb or Alex Smith goes to AZ allowing the Tards to address their pass rush
6.) Washington (trade from CLE) - Blaine Gabbert, QB (Missouri)
Shanny trades up and gets a nicer, tougher and more athletic version of Cutler
7.) San Francisco - Robert Quinn, DE/OLB (North Carolina)
49ers get their pass rush monster; RQ falls only because of his off-field concerns
8.) Tennessee - Jake Locker, QB (Washington)
Badly needing a QB, they reach for Locker just as they did with VY
9.) Dallas - Cameron Jordan, DE/DT (Cal)
Dallas solidifies their pourous d-line with the versatile Jordan
10.) Cleveland (trade from WAS) - Da'Quan Bowers, DE (Clemson)
The Browns move back and still get a top 4-3 DE
11.) Houston - Ryan Kerrigan, OLB/DE (Purdue)
Wade gets his 3-4 pass rusher
12.) Minnesota - Cameron Newton, QB (Auburn)
Vikes new OC Bill Musgrave has a lot of work ahead of him
13.) Detroit - Prince Amukamara, CB (Nebraska)
Lions continue to add high-end talent to their improving defense
14.) St. Louis - Julio Jones, WR (Alabama)
No-brainer for a team in need of explosive playmakers at WR
15.) Miami - Mark Ingram, RB (Alabama)
Fins in dire need of fresh blood at RB
16.) Jacksonville - Cameron Heyward, DE (Ohio St.)
Del Rio needs an impact player at DE, and Cam can provide that
17.) New England - Gabe Carimi, OL (Wisconsin)
Fits the Patriots in all the right ways
18.) San Diego - J.J. Watt, DE/DT (Wisconsin)
Chargers dip in to the Big 10 again for DE help
19.) NY Giants - Nate Solder, OT (Colorado)
Giants badly need to add high-end talent to their o-line
20.) Tampa Bay - Aldon Smith, DE (Missouri)
A young team gets younger, and more explosive along the d-line
21.) Kansas City - Akeem Ayers, OLB (UCLA)
Desperately needing youth, speed and athleticism at OLB
22.) Indianapolis - Derek Sherrod, OT (Mississippi St.)
Colts finally get blind-side help for Peyton
23.) Philadelphia - Anthony Castonzo, OL (Boston College)
Winston Justice and King Dunlap are not cutting it at RT
24.) New Orleans - Adrian Clayborn, DE (Iowa)
Addressing major weakness in their defense with a solid DE
25.) Seattle - Mike Pouncey, OG (Florida)
Seattle really needs help in the interior of their o-line
26.) Baltimore - Corey Liuget, DT (Illinois)
Powerful and disruptive force along the defensive line
27.) Atlanta - Stephen Paea, DT (Oregon St.)
Need reinforcements along the d-line
28.) New England - Justin Houston, OLB (Georgia)
Big, athletic pass rushing LB, which is ideal for Belichick
29.) Chicago - Tyron Smith, OT (USC)
Talented and athletic LT prospect to protect Cutler
30.) NY Jets - Titus Young, WR (Boise St.)
In need of more speed and playmaking ability at WR; Jets version of Desean Jackson
31.) Pittsburgh - Phil Taylor, NT (Baylor)
Moves into the late 1st; Hampton's eventual replacement
32.) Green Bay - Christian Ballard, DE (Iowa)
More depth at 3-4 DE for Capers
No way the 9ers take Quinn over Bowers and Prince absolutely no way. Bowers is supperior to Quinn all day long.
No way Prince falls that far down, there are 2-3 1st round CBs in this draft and someone will take him in the top 10.
Jake Locker had an awful Senior Bowl practice week and will not be in the top 10.
Pittsburgh is going to go OL
