See man, even though I disagree with a lot of what you posted...I don't want to stab my eyes out after reading it like I do when you talked about replacing Albert with Okung (over Eric Berry, FFS) or earlier when you talked about taking Reiff or Martin at 11.
A few things.
Mark Barron didn't put up big numbers because that front seven was NFL good last year. Just watching the games and what he did should make it clear as day that the kid will easily translate to the NFL game. His size/temperment/instincts are very very attractive to our defense and what it could mean to not only the starting safeties, but sub packages along with giving us the ability to move Berry to FS where he would be able to use his speed in coverage to do a lot more for us than Lewis can while keeping away from as much contact while his knee solidifies.
Barron improves more than just that, too. He is an enforcer that can fly and adds to the defenses "team speed".
I just obvious think a lot more of him than most guys here.
If we trade down, I can DEFINETLY see us targeting him.
You seem to want to dance around saying that Tannehill has the potential to be a franchise quarterback that can be a pocket passer as well as a guy that extends the play and uses his mobility to help guys get open. Those types of guys are what the NFL is
moving towards.
If he busts, we could absorb that without hurting the team at this point.
If he develops and reaches his potential, we are a superbowl team in two or three years with the talent we are stockpiling.
Even if we don't take Reiff or Martin.
