If Jets did that, then I would be done with the NFL as a whole.
Tebow is a change of pace QB thats just more famous than Brad Smith. He is no competition for Sanchez as a starting quarterback.

Originally posted by bornnraisedwhodat View PostIt's widely assumed that Tannehill will go to Cleveland at 4, or Dolphins at 8, or someone will trade up for him. Lets say trades dont happen, Cleveland passes on him, and the Dolphins pass on him...which is totally plausable.
It's plausible b/c both Cleveland & the Fins have so many other glaring needs. Here's that ASSUME word again, but IMO it's reasonable to assume the Browns will take Richardson after the Hillis departure, the Fins are the real thinker.
Where does he go then? there are tons of QB need teams after the Dolphins.
Buffalo - Wouldnt call them QB needy, but is Fitzpatrick "the guy" ? plus it would be an ideal situation because there would be no need to rush Tannehill to start.
Didnt Buffalo just re-up Fitzpatrick? Phenomenal for an Ivy Leaguer, especially a QB, to make that much $ in the NFL
KC - Cassell is a solid QB, but again, is he "the guy" ?
Cassell screws the pooch as often as he wins, less consistent than Romo, he s/b expendable but other needs will trump a QB selection in KC.
Seahawks - They just signed Matt Flynn, but it was too a pretty cheap deal that doesnt tie their hands much. Another ideal situation because Tannehill could sit for a while and develop.
Too much Flynn investment, guess they weren't enthralled with WhitehurstThey lost their top tackler to FA so I think they have to go LB.
Cardinals - Come on, Skelton and Kolb?
Now we're talking. Zona has been quiet in all this FA shuffling, Whisenhunt has to be smart enough to see Kolb's limitations & is not the answer...isn't he? they won't trade up but will wait in the tall grass for Tannehill.
Eagles - Andy Reid has worked magic witih much less talented QB's than Tannehill.
Won't fall that far
Jets - Competition for Sanchez? See above
Browns again at 22 - If Tannehill was to drop this far, I cant see them not picking him here.
See above
Here's my take.

I'm not sure if I've misunderstood you, but are you suggesting Locker has gotten lost along the way? I mean, for only having played in 5 games his rookie season, he's got a 99.4 QBR and a 4-0 TD/INT ratio. He's looked pretty good, and he might even be ready to start for Tennessee this year.-The Contrarian Proletarian

As for Locker i think what he was able to do in short stints validated his upside.
