Its hard to say at this point - right now, I would say it is a reach. But, if Tannehill sets the combine on fire with his skills, maybe he shoots all the way up into the top 10? Its so arbitrary until you see those combine results. All he needs is a little buzz and he'll skyrocket easily. A really bad combine could easily drop him to the third or fourth round also. You just never know.

yea...but he also climbs because so many other quality QBs decided to stay in school another year.

The problem with deciding if Tannehill is a reach at #6 is twofold:
1. Has Shanahan seen enough of him, in his evaluation, to feel confident he can succeed in his system. If we assume that is a yes, then you have to consider...

2. Indianapolis takes Luck and Cleveland takes RG3; how far back can we go to ensure we still get him? Miami picks either 8th or 9th, depending on the outcome of the coin flip with Carolina. Carolina is not going to pick a QB, but Miami is. If we trade back to 10 or beyond, Tannehill is availabe at #8 or #9 and Miami will take him. So the only one we can trade back with comfortably is Jacksonville at #7. Jacksonville has no need to trade up 1 spot and does not need a QB.

So, taking Tannehill at #6 is not a reach if the Shanahans have determined from their evaluation of him that he is, or potentially is, the answer to their problem at QB. Last year's draft showed that Shanahan will not reach for a QB if he believes he is not worth it and can fix a hole elsewhere. However, after the failed Rex/Beck experiment, he may be inclined to take Tannehill and look for O-line/Receiver starters/playmakers with his 2nd, 3rd, and 2 4th round picks.

maybe....depends on Miami strategy. what if it is BPA? will Tannehill fit that requirement? also....depends on how Tannehill compares to Moore in their evaluation system.
 
I think Miami is happy with Matt Moore - he showed great flashes this season when he was healthy. They may take a QB, but I'd bet they wait until the 2nd or 3rd round, and use their first on another playmaker for the offense or a stud OL. Alshon Jeffrey is an option here, as are one of the Stanford OL.
 
Looking back, didn't some consider Kerrigan a reach?

I know it's just draft jargon to debate about, but isn't instant analysis just as useless as projected potential?

Absolutely but you tell me what else we do when we have 107 days to the draft. Just sayin'. ;)

Guess I deserved that, huh Ax? I aught to know better than to lob you a softball although I am shocked, shocked I say!, at Om piling on. ;)
 
I'm out of practice, Neo.

Fergive me?
 
Also, gone are the days that we trade for the #25 pick to draft Campbell months before the draft, and everyone knows what we're doing. Shanahan is much craftier - I wouldn't be surprised at all if he were using this as subterfuge, and is intending to get Griffin no matter what.

Tannehill possibly injured, commence panic.

Multiple sources have told me Ryan Tannehill/QB/Tex A&M suffered a significant foot injury last week during training in Florida. More later

you may be on to something!
 
If no Griffin, then I think we should move down, acquire an additional #2 pick and work the board from the #11 or #12 spot.

the problem is you dont draft a qb in a vacuum, who else is still on the board? would you take an all time calibre potential player ahead of a solid qb? you should. we passed on AP, just sayin.

what we need to do is pull the trigger if we really think hes the guy but I have doubts about most of this qb class. and we have too many gaping holes to bet the farm on one guy.

People have Trent Richardson classified as a can't miss RB prospect. Kiper, McShay and others say that he could be a similar player to AP. If he is there at #6 do we take him or do we move back let someone else take him and take our QB later in the first round?

I actually do like several of the QBs in this class. The issue is a lot of those QBs might not be ready for week one of the 2012 season. So a free agent who does NOT have the first name of Rex would need to be signed. Whether it be Kyle Orton, David Garrard or whoever would need to be in a Redskin uniform if we are going to sign a QB not named Luck or Griffin III
