Mike Sherman basically told Matt Hayes during the college season that Tannehill has all of what it takes to be a franchise QB. It can be heard in the following video:

I was iffy on what the Dolphins could be thinking, or if they had any real interest in him. But after hearing this I'd have to believe that Sherman is selling Tannehill to Philbin and Ireland hard (or was selling Tanny hard before the pro day), and that the Dolphins are seriously considering him and it wasn't just a "token" visit for his pro day.
ps- interesting how Mayock was pumping Tannehill to Cleveland all day yesterday. He was saying how McCoy is a #2 not a #1 (meaning mccoy is a backup in the NFL - which I agree with but was surprised how Mayock was so deliberate). And that Tannehill has the athleticism and arm for Holmgren's offense while McCoy doesn't.
Considering how Tannehill's a WC QB and fits in perfectly with Miami's new offense, and all the fan pressure the FO has felt this offseason for an answer at QB, I have pretty much conceded that Tannehill will be Miami's selection at #8 ,.. that's if he's even there.
