When the Process Started, before Declarations, he was a late 2nd to mid 2nd.
Landry Jones, Matt Barkley do not declare and the MEDIA is left scrambling for a 3rd QB.
It happened last year, it is happening this year.
Gabbert had no business going in the 1st based on tape.
Ponder had not business going in the 1st based on tape.
So my question remains, what has he done this draft season at workouts or combine to warrent moving up in the draft other than the Media Needing a third QB to have the draft Drama.
There are 2 1st round QBs in thid draft and they are going 1 and 2
I agree #8 is high. But if Miami goes for him I don't think it'll be the reach you believe it is. Why?
2 reasons.
1) insider knowledge. We offered Flynn backup money because we believed he was not a franchise QB. That was based on Philbins knowledge. If we take Tannehill at 8, it'll be because with Shermans knowledge, we believe he is a franchise QB of the near future. We're the only team with knowledge of the two big QB opportunities open to the masses. If we bite on Tannehill, it's because we known him better.
2) Rookie pay scale. Ponder, Locker and Dalton were all much bigger reaches last year because they all got paid a helluva lot more than Tannehill will. Thebrisk is lower this and subsequent years than it was.
