Thread: Tannehill

Cleveland takes Blackmon or Trent
Miami takes Floyd, Reiff or Coples

How far does Tannehill drop?

Does Buffalo take him at 10? Zona at 13? If not, I really don't see a landing spot for him. Until Denver. Now I know Cleveland could take him at 22, but passing on him at 4 may be an indication that they are willing to give Colt McCoy some weapons and another year. With all the QBs we've been looking at, does EFX dare take this kid if he experiences a Rodgers/Quinn type fall?

can't see it happening-- too many teams still need a QB. . .


colt mccoy is never going to be good enough to win anything in that division-- his physical gifts just aren't adequate. . . cleveland management should be prosecuted for criminal negligence of their fanbase if they pass at #22. . .

fair point. . .

then again, the browns never seem to like any good QBs-- not sure we can trust their judgement. . . if i were a cleveland fan, i'd be ready to burn the whole place down if they don't go after some offensive skill position talent with their top picks, at the very least. . . i mean, i love a philosophy based on trading back, and taking linemen with your high picks-- but they've taken it too far. . . i don't care how good you are in the trenches, you aren't beating pitt and baltimore with guys like mo massoquai and hardesty. . .

I personally don't hate McCoy. At the very least, ya can't really say he's had any weapons around him to show IF he can be successful. I'd personally grab the weapons. Either Trent thatn Wright/Randle or Blackmon/Miller (which is actually what I would do). I think a Blackmon/Little WR combo could be fun. This give McCoy some weapons and no excuses if he bombs. If he fails, ya get yer pick of Bray, Wilson, Barkley or Landry Jones.

IF this happened and he was the BPA, then yes I'd be for it.

Tannehill's Int rate of .027 is pretty mediocre for a high round pick in the modern era.

Just for comparison Osweiler has a 2.2 int rate which makes him a better value IMO along with his other measurables.
RG3 = 1.4 (2nd pick in draft)
Luck = 2.0 (1st pick in draft)
Bradford = 1.7 (1st pick in draft)
Aaron Rodgers = 1.9 (late 1st)
Tom Brady = .027 (drafted 5th round)
Brees 2.7 (drafted 2nd round)
Farve = 2.2 (2nd round)
Tony Romo = 3.8 (undrafted)
Tebow 1.6 (late 1st)
Eli Manning 2.6 (top 10 pick)
Peyton Manning 2.4 (1st pick in draft)
Jamarcus Russell 2.6 (1st pick in draft)
Ryan Leaf 2.7 (Knock it off!)

The Browns don't have a WR on the roster. They haven't had for years. McCoy isnt' their big problem, and Tennehil certainly would NOT be better than McCoy for years.

Just pointing out that Eli was much higher than just a top 10. He was the 1st player selected in the draft, just like his brother.

Tannehill doesn't get passed Seattle, but if he did there'd be no shortage of teams willing to trade back to a team that wants him. If he made it all the way to Denver's pick the Broncos should, and probably would trade that pick to a Miami for a future #1 and a 2nd at least.

Instead of the Broncos going the Packers/Rodgers route I see them going Dallas/Brady Quinn route.......

God i hope not.

Lol. This is the logic that kills players careers ans keeps teams scrambling for QB's all tbe time. Im glad no one here makes these decisions

If he falls to us in the second round or third round, maybe take a flier on him. Otherwise, Von Miller and Elvis need some help on the interior line and in the secondary.

Eli wasn't just top ten pick he was the the number one overall pick in his draft class.

You think the Dolphins panic and move up to # 3 or #4 to get Tannehill so Cleveland doesn't have the option? Unless, the reports are smokescreens, it sounds like Ross really wants the kid.
