How high would you draft a QB in this draft?

Then you would be throwing it away. Most NFL starting QBs are 1st or second round picks, talk about looking for acorns.

IMHO, unless Hickey thinks he sees a future starter fall to the 5th round, all you are doing is taking a possible player away from the future and/or this year to help out Tannehill. I'd much rather use a 3rd or 4th round pick on a running back than a QB this year. That being said, by the end of this coming season there should be few questions left if Tanny is the guy or not for the next decade. If he's not, then next year you trade up to get your guy. For the record I would draft a QB in the 1st or 2nd round every 3 years until your sure you have 'the guy'....and once you have the guy, I'd draft one in the 2nd every 3 years until I had trade bait or a better franchise guy. Point being, I'd skip it this year, next year I'd let Moore go and take someone in the 2nd or 3rd to develop behind Devlin. Unless Tanny faceplants in which case I move up in the 1st to get the guy I want.

Day 3.

Unless Teddy Bridgewater drops to 19, maybe. But he won't.
 
I like the idea of drafting someone in the later rounds each year in hopes of finding a Brady like gem but with only one pick in each round this is probably not the draft to do that in unless they really fall in love with some QB.
 
Depends of how they feel about Tannehill. Remember... hickey didn't draft Tannehill so he has no ties to him. If one of the top QB's drop to 19 (Broles, Bridgwater, Manziel etc..) and hickey thinks the players is or would be better than Tannehill.. I can see him drafting him there. Hell I would. My job is ultimately tied to the QB play so if i'm not completely sold on Tanny, i'd draft one as high as 19 and would even trade to move higher to get one if there was one there I was in love with. Now if i'm sold that Tannehill is the GUY... then the highest I would draft one would be the 3rd and that's ONLY if i believe other QB needy teams may be interested and i could possibly play him in the preseason and trade him for a higher draft pick in the future....

Where in this thread did I say he is a bust? He's done alot of good things, but it also can't be ignored statistically he isn't very impressive. I believe he will pan out - but don't act like he proved he is one of the best in the league.

I wouldn't take another this year. Focus on preparing Devlin to be the backup as Moore exits. If Tannehill falters this year look at a first rounder like Mariota or if we really collapse Winston.

If we cut Moore this answer changes to the 4th.

Mariota is not going to be an NFL quarterback. He does the same system nonsense as every other Oregon quarterback.

Actually the 1st round produces as many Superbowl QB's as all the other rounds and undrafteds combined.

What if all the worthy first round lineman are gone, and no other position of need, and Johnny Football slips to 19? Oh and we can't trade down?

I don't see him slipping that far but it would be an interesting scenario.
 
If Hickey had conviction that a prospect was going to be a franchise QB, and he somehow slips to us at pick 19 he has to take him. Otherwise he's paying lip service to drafting BPA. That said, I don't see that guy in this draft. Not Manziel. Not Bridgewater. Not Bortles. If we are taking a QB, it's to groom him as a backup, and we do that in rounds 5-7 unless somebody drops to us in the 3rd/4th rounds. I don't see any way we draft a QB in rounds 1 or 2 (or likely 3 or 4) in this draft.
 
Is Connor Shaw out of Carolina going to be drafted at all? I like him better than Boyd.

His effort and durability is excellent. The guy just knows how to win games. I am hoping some team in the league drafts him. He deserves a chance.

That being said/asked, I asked in another thread yesterday what to do if for example Manzeil falls to 19, what do we do? Either of the three top QB prospects would be very hard to pass up especially if your mantra is to pick the best available player.
 
I would absolutely take a QB in this and any draft if i thought i was getting value. Even more so because there's no future in who we have behind Tannehill on the roster. There are several interesting guys this year and my personal favorite value wise would be Brett Smith in R5 or below.
 
I'm thinking a guy like Tom Savage in the 6th/7th round. Big arm, had a terrible o-line at Pitt, so he's a bit better than his numbers indicate.
 
high because i dont think baby jesus is the answer. hes been mediocre his whole life as a starting qb, putting all the eggs in the tannehill basket is insane.
 
Benny "Juker" Doolittle is 6'5", from Notown State, ...and has a gun for an arm...we can get in the 7th, then we can get all the candy in the 1-6 rounds, before him. He has some flaws like he runs a 6.3 in the 40 ( because he has one leg 3" shorter than the other). He's fun to watch run, when he runs, he looks like he's juking the air in front of him. We call him the "Juker". He has 30/20 vision due to a BB gun accident as a kid, but he swears he see's shadows in his peripheral vision. We can use him for gator or trade bait depending how he works out !
