Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M

[bored of education]

This Guy can play on Sundays, may not be able to right away. I see a team like Chiefs, Buffalo(kinda), Miami, Oakland, Seattle grabbing him in the 2nd if they miss out on a qb in the 1st. he can develop in to a very good quarterback. he has only played Qb like 14 games.

Tannehill and Swope put on a show today. There's obviously some things that are rough around the edges, but if it was the right situation and I already had a quarterback who could play for a year or two, I would be comfortable taking him somewhere outside of the top 20.

Hey, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Swope isn't even little and slow. He's fairly average sized and fast even....but he is pretty damn white.

I love the scouting line - pretty damn white

Not sure if Oakland will go QB unless Campbell just completely biffs the rest of the year. We did use a 3rd on Pryor as well and Hue has already said he is a QB on this team.

But onto Tannehill, I currently have him ranked 5th at QB(1st Senior). He is a good option in the 3rd as a developmental prospect that could really benefit sitting a year or 2 with some good coaching. Wouldn't be surprised if he was a starting caliber QB at a point in his career.

he is good at a lot of things, but not great at any one particular thing.

Nice to see Tannehill play well today, he has been one of my guys since the beginning of the year, also great to see him outduel Griffin in a great match up. I think he ends up a Redskin.

Yup, that's my spot for him as well in all the mocks I've done this year. I'm a very big fan and I think he might end up being at least the second best QB selected in 2012 if he gets drafted by a team that knows how to develop QBs. Tannehill just seems like the kind of QB Shanny would want, and I know that Shanny can develop QBs.

I like that fit a lot.

white players can share similarities to black players? what sort of sport do you think this is?

Extremely strong arm, will throw to any quadrant of the field (and isn't protected by playcalling - he'll throw a deep out to the wide side like it's nothing).

He's still raw, but his upside is higher than any QB in this draft.

Love this kid.

My number four QB as of now behind the bigger three, he could play himself into the mid first and I think the will blow up during the pre-draft process.

BOE don't be hating on K.Moore he could start for you guys .

Tannehill has a birght future in the league. I just think he'd benefit from sitting a year, maybe 2. However, the way teams handle QBs, that most lilkely won't happen.

Someone compared him to Aaron Rodgers, but I'm not sure that's fair

I know what you mean. As far as skillset goes, they're very similar. People attach to much to player comparisons, though. Each individual prospect is unique, so you can really only judge the skillset.

Take Quinton Coples. If you like him, you can compare him to Justin Tuck. If you don't like him, you can compare him to Jamaal Anderson.

People see what they want to see. Myself included.

Rodgers did not set the world on fire coming out. No one did that year. The fact that GB had Favre available, let Rodgers ride the pine for two years, learning the game and retooling as needed. Alex Smith has finally settled down into a quality starter. I suspect he would have come around much faster had he been allowed to sit at first. Ditto Tebow. Sometimes OJT is the slowest path.

I'm not ready to believe he's become a quality starter already. after what being his 7th year in the league, he's put up good numbers, but honestly, I'm waiting for the "real" Alex Smith to come back.

This is the real Alex Smith. Now that he has learned to use his blocking, do the play action fake, rely on the running game and stay within his limits. In short, now that he is able to do what Radgers did the first time the Pack hadnded him the starter position.
