Which player(s) would you draft ahead of Tannehill?

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

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 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.

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
CB Stephon Gilmore
WR Michael Floyd
CB Dre Kirkpatrick
DE Whitney Mercillus
WR Stephen Hill
G David Decastro
RB Doug Martin
LB Courtney Upshaw
TE Coby Fleener
LB Dont'a Hightower

That pretty much concludes my list...of the guys you have posted anyways.

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

Luck and RG3 are the only two for me.

Floyd
Blackmon
Peterson

We need more juice on the offense or drafting Tannehill won't matter imo.

Toss up

DeCastro
Kuechly
Coples
Peterson
Cox

You probably meant Richardson :wink2:

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

and without a QB to run our offense we are dead in the water.

Well it's a good thing we have 7 more picks after the 1st round :)

Qb trumps all

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.

Melvin Ingram

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.

Op, everyone you listed plus all second round options

Let me explain, if he's there for our 3rd round pick, sure take him.

...I think we get it. You don't like Tannehill...

Really? I was pretty sure they were BFF or something....

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.
