NFL Trade Value, Tannehill 43rd best trade value

Really interesting article here, Bill Barnwell's top 50 most valuable players as far as trade value. Jim Harbaugh actually made the list at 49, the only head coach. JJ Watt is the highest non-QB on the list. Tannehill was the only Dolphin. Dalton and Cutler didn't make it but both got honorable mentions.

Andy Dalton is the quarterback who nobody in football wants to admit they don’t actually want. If you believe the inane platitudes about how football coaches want winners, you want Dalton! He’s 30-18 after three years, and only Dan Marino, Matt Ryan, and Joe Flacco have won more games during their first three NFL seasons.

You'll need to check out the article to get clued in to his methodology and rules: http://grantland.com/features/2014-nfl-trade-value-part-1-50-assets/

Here are the QBs that made the list:

50. Nick Foles
43. Ryan Tannehill. Hey, Tannehill actually makes the list!!!

43. Ryan Tannehill, QB, Miami

Nothing is quite what it seems with Tannehill’s career. He was supposed to be a raw project after starting just 20 games at Texas A&M, but he’s started from day one and been a relatively boring quarterback. He was supposed to benefit from the tutoring and system of Mike Sherman, his former college coach, but now two years later, Sherman’s been fired and scapegoated for many of Miami’s offensive problems. Tannehill’s strength was supposed to be his arm … strength, but even after adding Mike Wallace, Tannehill was inconsistent on deep passes last year. Miami finished 26th in points scored, but it was better by DVOA, which ranked it 18th. And that came amid the Richie Incognito saga, which cost a team that already had a porous offensive line two of its remaining starters. Miami was rolling out one of the worst offensive lines in recent memory by the end of the season, which is why Tannehill was sacked a league-high 58 times.

The good news is that while Tannehill has been slightly below-average (for a high-risk choice who came off the draft board at eight), it’s safe to say that he’s not a bust of Gabbertian proportions. But we still have no idea whether Tannehill is going to develop the sort of accuracy and decision-making he needs to be a franchise quarterback. We’ll know a lot more about Tannehill after this season.

So what can we get for him?

Hopefully we will get an offensive line for him. Go T-hill.

Its true that he very easily could have been a Gabbert type bust, especially with the lack of weapons we provided him and then the porous o-line on top of it. So he's already cleared a pretty big hurdle, now he needs to grow and grow fast.
