But, just for the sake of argument, let's push that number to 10% so you can sleep better at night...that amount of impact pales in comparison to the impact a young quarterback gives you if you hit on the pick.
Tanehill ran the second fastest operating offense in football (NE was first) as a rookie and oozed composure and accuracy while cementing himself as the unquestioned leader of his team.
If you wouldn't trade Poe and Allen for him, you need to stop drinking kool aid.

We get it. Qbs are impact players. I'm not a fan of the Tannehill pick but I would have been okay with it. Ultimately, I think you have a QB with matt Ryan upside. You could do a lot worse, but you could do a lot better.
But look... This idea of ragging on every pick that isn't a QB is ludicrous. Rag on safe picks like fisher, berry, or Tyson Jackson. Don't rag on guys like Poe who has the potential to be a very good, bona fide top 10 pick.
