Starter
A good friend of mine lives in San Antonia Texas and is a huge A&M fan so I asked his opinion via Facebook on Tannehill. Here's the conversation.
Me- Give me the inside scoop on Tannehill
Him - Hell of an athlete, beautiful stature at 6'4 LEGIT. Throws a very catchable ball, great footwork and can run. VERY smart and knows ALL the routes that recivers run because he played the position for 2 and a half years...in saying that, he couldn't beat out the starter until the starter lost almost ALL his arm stregth from a shoulder injury. he is a coaches son though and will hit the play book hard. Needs some seasoning, but will be a beast if given time to develop. Do not throw him into the fire and ask him to start right away because he is not ready to play QB at that level just yet. Give him 2 years and you are looking at maybe a Matt Ryan at the worst.
Me - You need to be on NFL network, damn! Is he worth the 8th overall pick? If u were GM would u take him at 8?
Him - @ 8?...LOL!!!! HELL NO!!!..but because of the premium for QB's in the NFL he will be over valued. IMO, he is AT BEST worthy of a 3rd rounder, expect him to prob go higher though. He is a GREAT PROSPECT, but do you draft prospects @ 8?....Nope
Though it was interesting.
