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.
