    I thought this could be a fun discussion. Very simply, which player(s) would you take ahead of Tannehill. I'm trying to get a feel for Tannehill's value with you all. I'll make a list for you to pick from of "likely" first round players. I'm throwing out the obvious first three though since they are pretty much cemented in stone (Luck, RG3, Kalil):

    WR Justin Blackmon
    RB Trent Richardson
    CB Morris Claiborne
    DE Melvin Ingram
    DL Fletcher Cox
    LB Luke Kuechly
    S Mark Barron
    DE Quinton Coples
    T Riley Reiff
    DT Michael Brockers
    CB Stephon Gilmore
    WR Michael Floyd
    CB Dre Kirkpatrick
    DE Whitney Mercillus
    DE Chandler Jones
    WR Stephen Hill
    G David Decastro
    RB Doug Martin
    LB Courtney Upshaw
    T Cordy Glenn
    DT Dontari Poe
    TE Coby Fleener
    DE Nick Perry
    DE Shea McLellin
    LB Dont'a Hightower
    WR Kendall Wright
    S Harrison Smith
    T Jonathan Martin

    Feel free to add others as you see fit. :shifty:

    I think Andrew Luck is pretty good also. That is my analysis. You're welcome.

    I wouldn't. We need a QB more than anything else, so we might as well start the process now. It makes no sense to wait.

    Honestly, after RG3 and Luck I wouldn't take anyone (for this team) over Tannehill, even if we picked 3rd.

    Tannehill is the x-factor for me. If they think they can develop him into a very good starter...with that skill set, they have to take him. If they do, I'll be very satisfied. If they pass, it wouldnt bother me one bit.

    To play along i'll assume they like Tannehill and rate him high, but these are the the can't miss prospects they'd still draft ahead of him:
    A-Claiborne/Richardson/Khalil should one slip
    B-Keuchly
    C-Gilmore

    My favorite part is the post being about who you'd draft ahead of tannehill, in which atleast half respond with "tannehill"

    there is a very good number of people on that list i'd like over tannehill.

    As above - add Luck & RG III to the list.

    As to pure talent - BPA, here's who I'd draft ahead of him:
    QB Luck
    QB RG III
    WR Justin Blackmon
    RB Trent Richardson
    CB Morris Claiborne
    LB Luke Kuechly
    S Mark Barron
    CB Stephon Gilmore
    WR Kendall Wright
    DE Melvin Ingram
    WR Michael Floyd
    QB Brandon Weeden (tie?)

    Only two guys for me, Blackmon and Claiborne. Yeah I know WR is kinda putting the cart before the horse, but Blackmon is special. And so is Claiborne. I doubt either one is there at 8. If they are, that means two teams ahead of 8 pulled surprises out of the bag.

    My list is short and sweet:

    CB Morris Claiborne
    LB Luke Kuechly
    T Riley Reiff
    G David Decastro

    Why no WR ... this is a great draft for wr types who fit in the WC offense, I would not waste an early pick on one when our needs simply not call for it.

    As for QB if we can't have Luck or RGIII I'll just wait on Wilson or BJ Coleman in the 4th.

    THough I have more ahead of RT than these two, I agree about these two and your point. I don't see how either drops that far. Esp. with the Jags at #7 wanting to trade out; unless the Jags decided they wanted Blackmon.
