BeeR Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Since this is apparently the "hot" topic among draftheads..... I maintain MIA takes him despite that being too high for him and somewhat of a reach. Their need is too great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keggerz Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I mocked him to MIA too...however, the more I think about it the more I think that doesn't happen...I will say that if he makes it past MIA then KC will pull the plug on him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ice1 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Wouldn't surprise me to see him go higher than 8. I would be surprised if he goes lower. He sure looks to have Franchise ability upside and the rookie salary cap should drive up QB value. I get what the talking heads are saying but this kid has all the intangibles to be a stud in a couple of years. Reminds me of Rodgers quite a bit only bigger and faster. He plays well on the move and that should really excite a few teams. Experience could knock him down but he is the type of player many teams could be kicking themselves in a few years if they pass on him.

Jackass Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 i would be surprised if he went b/f 8. If miami passes on him, might be interesting. i could see him falling to the mid-teens and then somebody trading up for him. odds are miami takes him though. kc second possibilty. don't think seattle will take him.

I'm pretty sure it the Seattle front office that said that Tannehill was their favorite QB of the class. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/playerbreakingnews.asp?sport=NFL&id=7417&line=231881&spln=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azazello1313 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I think he makes a lot of sense to miami. and I don't think 8 is "too high" either. he's not as polished as the top two guys, but he looks like a really nice QB prospect. guys with that kind of ceiling don't usually wait around long. if miami passes he goes 11 or 12. still wouldn't shock me if he goes to cleveland.

polksalet Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't have RG3 in my top 200 players and I'm not sold on Luck. I think the two qbs with the lowest likelihood of being a bust are Tannehill and Weeden. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pope Flick Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) He's Matt Jones meets Jamarcus Russel. Probably should have stayed at receiver (he didn't win the starting qb gig until his sr season, unable to beat out anyone) and with all of 20 college starts he's way light in the experience column. Having played for the annual do nothing aggies doesn't do much to bolster any notion he'll succeed at the next level. Which, of course, has no impact on a team desperate at qb. Someone will bite hi and regret it. Bust. Edited April 26, 2012 by Pope Flick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeeR Posted April 26, 2012 Author Share Posted April 26, 2012 KC drafting him is pretty ridiculous. They haven't exactly given up on Cassell. CLE drafting him is equally silly. They aren't giving up on McCoy either and have much bigger needs. If MIA passes I can see a free-fall, Rodgers-like or worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former Patriot GM pulling the trigger on such a boom-bust player? You crazy, dawg. He'll take a sure fire player, imo. Maybe the Cardinals would swipe him at 13 It's funny how nobody is talking about the Cardinal's still need at QB this season. I'd personally like to see them get Weeden but that would most likely be a round 2 selection. Edited April 26, 2012 by Brentastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brentastic Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Too much $ into Kolb. Floyd to pair with Fitz. Really, you think they're going WR? They should get a QB, even if it is in later rounds. As a perennial Fitz fan, I would like to see Fitz with a competent QB and Weeden offers just that and they could get him in round 2. Round 1 they should get an O-lineman, imo.

Seahawks21 Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 (edited) No way does this kid freefall. Amazingly talented. I thought he was all hype too until I watched his tape. Pure, pure delivery. No way he gets past 12 if he's still on the board when the Seahawks pick. The big question is what does Holmgren think of him? I'm guessing he likes him quite a bit. A bit odd that Tannehill visited with Cleveland but Holmgren wasn't part of the meeting. I think there is a very real possibility that the Browns take him. If you happen to see the Browns trade back a few spots tomorrow night, you can be sure the pick is Tannehill. Not a chance he gets past Miami, but I think there is a real possibility he goes to Cleveland. He's got a hose, throws pure, has great pocket presence, great feet, scored a 34 on the Wonderlic. The experience thing hurts, and he's not ready to start right away, but this kid is awfully special.

Scooby's Hubby Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 without the Sherman connection in Miami, we wouldn't even be having this conversation. I think teams are hyping him up in hopes Miami wastes an early pick on him. Not enough college starts and too many interceptions to be top ten material, IMO.

Someone will bite hi and regret it. Bust. The bolded part is interesting, I don't follow college football much and when Tannehill became a hot topic in Cleveland I researched him some because of that playing WR early in college. I looked at the QBs he played behind, and where they are now. One was/is a backup with the Cowboys and had a couple of starts, the other was in some other league. Not exactly top level guys, so why was he behind them through 2+ years in college? I don't think he is top 10 talent, but I don't doubt somebody will reach for him. I just hope it isn't the Browns, at least not with 1.04. Sure if they trade down out of that pick, I'll think it's a possibility (or Clairborne or Blackmon depending on how far they trade down). I wouldn't be at all surprised to see him fall to the bottom half/third of round 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papajohn Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Even though I don't have Miami drafting him in my mock draft, I wouldn't be the least surprised it they did, since he is gone when they get to pick again, unless they trade. I just think it is a big reach at 8 and that the hypetrain has been out of control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will bite hi and regret it. Bust. Your post doesn't make sense to me when weighed against the facts. 1) Matt Jones was QB with marginal talent that tried to convert to WR. He has been in and out jail for drug issues which ruined him. Tannehill gets very high marks for living in the film room as the first one at practice and the last to leave. Russel was lazy purple kool aid drinking fat slob with zero work ethic. Tannehill, is not only a very hard worker on the field, he is a very smart guy that plans on being an orthopedic surgeon someday post sports. He was an academic member in the big 12 all 3 years. No doubt people can blast him for experience and no doubt the Aggies couldn't catch the football which certainly didn't help him with 60 plus flat out drops last season. Sure he could bust as the NFL is littered with them but this kid to be even mentioned in the same breath as Jones and Russell is quite the disservice to him. No telling if he will be a stud someday but the kid has tools as good and better in some aspects than Luck. He certainly doesn't deserve to go ahead of him due to experience but the tools, his sharp mind, and outstanding desire are there to succeed.

Pope Flick Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 Your post doesn't make sense to me when weighed against the facts. Sure it does: handful of college starts a la Russel leading to some bizarro over hype machine kicking into gear. And speaking of bizarro he's the bizarro Matt Jones, only instead of being a qb converted to Wr it's the other way around. So he's over hyped and not playing his natural position (Wr). Russel and Jones. Pretty simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
