NFP Sunday Blitz-Is Tannehill being pushed up the boards?

[iwastherein72]

Okay then, lets spend a 6th round pick on Tannehill like the Pats did for Brady. The fact is, you don't roll the dice and "hope" that Tannehill pans out and burn the 8th overall pick on him. He is simply NOT worth the 8th overall pick. Period. Drafting him could get people fired. Namely Ireland.

We Can Only Hope.

Just one more compelling reason TO draft Tannehill. LOL

Like I said, if Landry Jones and Barley were in this draft then Tannehill would be the 5th best QB. Would you draft the 5th best QB with the 8th pick?? Tannehill is NOT worth the 8th overall pick and if we draft him we'll be sorry. Bank on it.

Tannehill is an infinitely better prospect than Landry Jones.

Tannehill is a big reach with the #8 overall pick. If Landry Jones and Matt Barkley had entered the draft this year then Tannehill would've been the 5th best QB and would not be picked in Round 1. Therefore how the hell can you justify picking him 8th overall??!! He isn't worth it and some scouts say they would NOT pick Tannehill anywhere in Round 1.

And I will say it for the millionth time, Tannehill has only 9 inch hands. That is very small hands for an NFL QB and a huge concern when we play in cold weather or wet weather games. He will have problems. Bank on it.

Tannehill would not be behind Landry Jones, you are out of your mind to even suggest such a thing.

With that said our OC who has spent more time with Tannehill than anyone else employed with a NFL organization. I think he even compared him to Favre and Rodgers. If he believes in Tannehill I have NO problem with taking him at #8. Hell if you're truly convinced he's your guy I would be okay with a trade up if that's what it takes.

IMO and maybe this is how Ireland feels, but I think you can get a player at #8 that can make more of an immediate impact than Tannehill would. But just the potential alone and need for a franchise QB would make Tannehill mighty hard to pass up. I will applaud if Ireland takes Tannehill. I will get excited because unlike Chad Henne, I believe Tannehill could be a good franchise QB. He's better than a Gabbart or Christian Ponder, that I'm fairly sure.

I think your nieve if you don't think Tannehill is heavily being pursued by Miami. Also have to believe they lowballed Flynn because Tannehill was their guy all along. I love his arm, his mobility is disgusting, he'd be a perfect fit for the WCO. It's worth a gamble, if he's there at 8 you take him and walk away happy.

Bro I never said he was worth the 8th pick.

dude I was agreeing with your post.lol

The only guy you can say Tannehill will be better than is RG3

The only way to write/respond to a post like this is hindsight.

A lotta Dolphins fans don't wanna reach for Tannehill at #8. A lotta Dolphins fans also think Matt Moore is underrated and a ~15th best QB in the league. A lotta Dolphins fan try to polish turds with picky stats and well groomed excuses. I hope we go for Tannehill because we are lucky enough to have a chance at a franchise QB, although we may lose out on a playmaker in the first round. In this case our team's success ceiling is dictated by our guy under center, not by our lack of playmakers. So for the Bill fans hating, you guys are in a similar boat and I wouldn't be banking on Super Mario to upgrade your team to contenders in one season with Fitzpatrick at the helm.

QB position is the playmaker position so picking Tannehill would be a good thing. Not impressed with Landry Jones. He is your typical OKie QB who does not have good velocity and can only play out of a shotgun. Barkley is much better and Tannehill is an upgrade over Jones. As sonn as Jones feels pressure he cant throw.

Only two Quarterbacks taken outside the 1st round have had "success" since 2003. what makes anyone think the guy we draft in the second (if we take a qb in the second) will have a shot of changing that fact? the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. It's time we place the value on the QB position it deserves.

The delusion is taking a second round talent and drafting him in the first round and expecting him to be better than he is because you overdrafted him

Gamble's set franchise's back 4-5 years. At least with all your man love for the guy, you admit he's a gamble.

Tannehill is less of a reach than the madness that took place last year. Now someone like Osweiler going in the 1st round would be straight ridiculous.

In your opinion. IMO Tannehill isn't worth a 1st round pick, much less a TOP 10 pick.

Anything anyone says here is personal opinion. Is it necessary to point out the blatantly obvious? That's fair if you feel he can't be a QB in this league. IMO I prefer him to Gabbert, Ponder, Locker coming out last year.

Tannehill at 8 is a big reach if you ask me id rather trade back for more picks or just tape bpa. I think Tannehill at 8 is too much of a gamble for us to take with all the holes we need to fill. He's raw and is considered a project, I personally think taking a player who will contribute and make an impact immediately is the way to go at pick 8 over a second/third round project qb. Just because a guy selected in round one doesn't mean he's going to be successful in the nfl. If tannehill is viewed as a 2nd round talent you don't take him at number 8 just to take a qb.

It's a QB. The rules are different. The team would have to realize that Tannehill won't contribute this year and that's a depressing fact for us because there are so many holes and needs on this team right now. But we can't keep excusing our way out of making an aggressive attempt at solving our endless QB problem. These half assed solutions haven't worked. Attaching a certain round's value to the QB position is pretty arbitrary. You're mitigating the risk and gauging what his value is in the eyes of the rest of the league. But the important thing is whether or not you think he can be a quality starter in this league. If you do believe he can be then why are you bargain hunting with the most important position in the sport?

Tannehill has the tools and a high ceiling that he may or may not reach. He's not a ridiculous Pat White-like prospect and has as valid a chance to make it as the mad rush on QBs that took place last year. There are probably only two other teams aside from us who would go QB in the 1st. So if Ireland wants to get cute and try to get more value by moving around the 1st round then that's an option, but I'd rather our coaching staff identifies Tannehill as someone they think can make it in the league and FOR ONCE make an aggressive move towards solving the QB problem.

I get what your saying about sometimes you have to take a risk but if the draft class wasn't so weak for qbs he wouldn't even be considered as a first round selection based on his inexperience and the fact that he's a project. I know there's no guarantee in drafting n there's not really a "sure thing" especially at qb but id rather go with someone who can contribute immediately. All this tannehill goin top 10 is media hype. For all we know teams might not be that high on him to draft him top ten. He might fall on draft day. Everyone here at finheaven was convinced ryan mallet was a sure first round pick and he slid to the 3rd. Its all speculation at this point from all the anylysts. Before free agency I didn't see one person mention him going in the first round. Now all of a sudden he's going top ten....its a big reach at 8 for a "project player" when we need immediate contributors at other positions.
