Ponder is really the only one that would fit the argument.

Both Gabbert and Locker were slated for the first. Ponder was the borderline, like Tannehill.

Well, I'm talking more of the fact that Tannehill will get drafted higher than he should b/c he's "sexy", plus there is a need, so guys will see what they want to see. All while having played against soft defenses, and having limited experience.

As for Locker, he had played himself down into a mid to late first rounder and got picked 8th overall b/c someone simply needed a first rounder. Not saying he didn't play well, didn't get to see him too much honestly. He was picked earlier than expected though. That is my point, nothing more, nothing less.

Locker still wasn't anticipated to get picked that high. Hell, I picked him at #8 for the Vikings in the CP Mock Draft and boy did I get jeers for it. Turns out I was right, but eh. What can ya do I guess.

What I meant was: Gil Brandt thinks Tannehill will be one of the top 10 picks in the first round:

I'd advise you to listen to Brandt re Tannehill. Remember: He's not just looking at tape. He's got the ear of half the scouts, GMs in NFL.

Most credible mock draft sites have him going top 15 about now, some as high as #6. Also, like you pointed out, most scouts have him up there too. Might be based on his skill, but I'm guessing his "market value" has a lot to do with it.

Given Pioli's draft history, I'd guess the huge, athletic DT Poe in the OP scenario.
