Gordon was ok at times last year but overall he graded out negatively according to PFF. He's not a guy I would want taking the majority of the snaps and theres better options in the draft.

Who is going to trade up for Tannehill?

The Colts need a QB. They're getting Luck.
The Skins need a QB. They're getting RGIII.
The Seahawks just signed Flynn.

The Chiefs and Dolphins both need QBs. If the Dolphins think the Chiefs want Tannehill, they'll trade ahead of us. If they don't, they'll stay put.

It would take something crazy like the Broncos moving Tebow to create a scenario where someone traded with us for Tannehill.

Sure. He's below average, but he's a legit NFL caliber NT backed up by Powe. It's less than ideal, but it's not a glaring need.

It's likely we'll address it in the first few rounds, but if someone slips in the draft and presents us with strong value, I'd want us to go for value over positional need at NT.

It was a joke but to answer your question: The Browns do and they have the 22nd pick and some extra picks from the Falcons.

Denver at 25

San Fran at 30.

I've read the scouting reports on Dontari Poe, and I could get behind him as our pick at #11. There's risk, but it sounds like he just needs to be coached up and disciplined. And really, isn't that true for most NT's coming out of college?

DeCastro would solidify the line for years to come, and safety depth would be helpful as well.

But at least for today, I'm hoping for Poe.

Tanehill will go either at 4 to Cleveland, 7 (someone jumping ahead of Miami) and if he falls to 8, Miami will take him.

I dont really think there is a chance he makes it to 11 anymore.

If he does, we should probably just take him....unless we really didnt like his interview we had with him at the combine and would rather trade down, adding another first or second rounder and take a guy like Brock or Foles.

Unless the Dolphins plan on taking a different position at #8 and then trading back into the 1st round for Tannehill.

This. New rookie cap means we won't have to give him a huge contract. No nose tackle worth taking? It's somewhat low risk/ high reward.

I think Tannehill will be gone by 11.

at #11 there could be a decent wr available or hopefully a NT.
but it is nice to not have a critical "need" position for a change.
maybe a vet center in free agency or later in the draft.

We stil have a crucial need at QB...

I don't think we need to spend another first rounder on a WR. We did that with Bowe and Baldwin, and we picked up Breaston last year. Of course, Blackmon would be a steal in that spot, and he would keep with the theme, so I'm open to him if he slips.

Thank god. Even though we need a QB, that project would be a disaster.

Agreed, watch the tape. Only the huge drop off from Luck/RG3 even puts this guy in the discussion for the first round.

I am all for drafting to push or find great players behind Lewis and Belcher. Its spending money in FA to replace them that bothers me. I would rather spend it on starter or depth elsewhere. Of course that was also when I was pretending that Manning would atleast interview with us.
