I think that Tannehill is much more mature than Tyler Bray and probably Tyler Wilson.

Firstly, Tannehill was 24 years old to start the 2012 season and he's married. Bray would be 21 and there have been questions about Wilson, even though he'll be 24 to start the 2013 season.

All I can say is that none of these guys, at least today, look like slam dunks.

There were a lot of positives for Tannehill. He's athletic as hell, big, and he had/has solid intangibles.

However, there were real concerns about what he'd done as a QB (experience) and his ability to transition fully to the position.

But he was worth the risk.

I'll tell you what will piss me off: trading back into the first round to grab a guy who drops. Don't sacrifice more draft resources for a kid we could take at 1/1.

As for Bray and Wilson, these guys are almost impossible for fans to evaluate because the concerns are almost exclusively issues that would need to be resolved during the interview process.

Wilson and Bray (especially Bray, IMO) will need to withstand a long and arduous process of due diligence. Both have maturity concerns, which caused Ryan Mallet to drop to the third round.

Bray is 21 years old and would need a spotless background to go #1 overall, something I don't think possible for him.

Who wants to turn over their $1 billion dollar franchise to a 21 year old punk?

No one. That would be a bad decision.

However, the Chiefs must get a QB, and the trade/FA options are horse shit. We can say "Wait until the second," but that's not a plan; it's hoping.

If they take that approach, they'd have to be monitoring the situation incredibly closely, being prepared to trade back into the first for their guy. For example, I could see this type of approach with a guy like Murray.

If that's the case, I think it would make more sense to "over draft" him than to be willing to commit even more resources, particularly since there isn't a player in this draft that simply demands to be drafted (Megatron, etc.).

Guess I was wrong.
