NFL Draft Ryan Tannehill - Page 51

jspchief · 10-20-2011, 08:53 AM

I'll be closely watching him through the rest of the NCAA season. I expect him to end up a 1st round prospect, and more likely to be available in the range where KC will be picking.

He seems to have good pocket presence, throws well on the move, has a live arm, and plays smart. He's looking good. I'm not sure he's the QB I'm championing just yet, but he's on my radar and has already passed the likes of Foles and and Jones in my book.

Curious to hear what others think of him. Who's seen a lot of him? What are his downsides IYO?

Discuss.

Taking a 2 year project at #4 doesn't make any sense for them.

Who said the starting QB on this team is suppose to "make sense"?

Who have you been watching the past decade?

He's not, normally a guy like him would go in rd 2 or 3 because he's a project.

That's not saying he doesn't have talent and that he can't play. Seems to me the Tannehill's upside is tremendous but a 1st round guy should be ready to play.

It looks like Tannehill will end up going in the 1st round but only because the rookie salary cap lowered the cost, making it worth taking a gamble on project type QB draftees.

JMO

btw i wouldn't be pissed if the Chiefs grabbed him at 11 ... take a shot.

I would argue that Tannehill exhibited the best pocket command and mobility of any quarterback in this draft class. To take it a step further, Tannehill was very good when improvising within structure. When the pressure forced him to abandon the boxing ring, he did, but the objective was again to find a quieter area to deliver the ball rather than to run. While the threat of the run was present, Tannehill remained a passer first, allowing the defense to dictate his reaction. We always talk about extending plays. Tannehill did that well, preserving his downfield focus and making accurate throws at the intermediate and deeper levels of the defense.

Sounds like Aaron Rogers.

Will he make it past Miami? NO probably not.

Rodgers was a JUCO QB and started like 20 games in college. Not NEARLY as raw as Tannehill.

Who the **** knows what Miami will do.

FFS....it was a foregone conclusion on draft day that if Quinn fell to Miami....that they would pick him. And then they picked Ted Ginn and drafted John Beck in the 2nd round. They may try to grab a DE or a WR and then trade back into the 1st round for Brandon Weeden.

I certainly hope he does. Would love to have the kid.

This. Don't they have the 22nd pick or something like that as well? There sits the QB they will take, named Weeden. IMO that will still be a reach too, but not nearly as bad a reach as Tannehill at 4.

Clausen will go in the top 10. Miami will take Quinn....

Just to repeat -

I want no part of this guy. Wait for next year when the QB class is much stronger than it is this year.

I seem to remember posts saying the exact same thing last year.

True. It's kind of the mantra of Chiefs fans in general - "There's always next year!"

Besides, who do we eject if we draft Tannehill? Quinn or Stanzi? Because we all know Cassel isn't going anywhere.
