In regards to picks, what does it matter if the pick is justified at the time? If he produces and becomes a good player, what does that matter?

It's all about risk to reward. Blue chip guys rarely bust where unknown quantities bust far more often.

But like I said, if a guy turns out to be a great player, it shouldn't matter what he was or wasn't when he was picked. Like Poe. He was a project there, but if he turns into a force up front, does it matter that he was a reach 2 years ago? |

Berry and Jackson and Fisher were conservative picks. Poe was a gamble, and that's why I loved the pick. I think it's hypocritical for people to knock the Poe pick, then question why the Chiefs didn't pick Geno Smith. |

Even if Poe reaches his potential, DTs only impact 5% of a football game...if Tanehill reaches his upside, he will impact 75% of every game he plays.
I'd be very excited if we had a Tanehill/Reid combo right now. |

You and I were in the minority of wanting to draft the kid.

Let's say we had traded up To 6 and given up the same compensation to do so as Dallas did (even though we owned slot 11 and Dallas owned slot 14....meaning we would have probably had to give up LESS to move up)
Who here wouldn't trade Dontari Poe and Jeff Allen for Ryan Tanehill? Id make that trade in a New York minute. |

I wanted Tannehil bad. Knew he'd go to Miami though.

Just like Pioli wanted a do-over for not drafting Dalton... AFTER Dalton leads the Bengals to the playoffs his first two years in the league and Pioli is facing losing his job to the angry KC mob. |

Yep exactly. I was still pissed when they drafted him though.

I wasn't as high on tannehill simple because I didn't watch a whole lot of him, I just didn't know much about him. |

We all know QB is important, but let's not start this tirade against any pick that isn't a QB. Yeah, drafting offensive linemen, 5-techs, safeties, and running backs are safe picks at 1.1. Drafting a raw talent like Poe is exactly the kind of boom/bust pick we should ahve been making more of. I think it's silly to be critical of the pick, especially if the negative commentary was that he shouldn't have been picked because he was raw. |

I'm not as sold on Tannehill as others. I think he has upside to be a middle-of-the-road QB at best. I guess that's an upgrade, but I don't think he has franchise QB written all over him. |
