Even if he isn't a sure thing, I am happy with Tannehill. We haven't picked a first round QB since Marino and at least this finally shows that management is serious about identifying problems.

Tored of the QB/Head Coach/Coordinator carousel. I want to see the same regime for years to come. I don't care if Ross is an ass if he leaves his football people alone. George Steinbrenner was an ass and the Yankees still won titles.

Long live Ryan Tannehill.

I have no idea if he is the next Brady Quinn but I can't fault them for trying. This is actually an odd feeling not saying to myself ... "I wonder if passing on that QB is going to come back and bite us".  At least they seem to be trying to fix the problem which is more than I've ever felt before.  I was never 100% sure about this pick but I'm really at peace with it.

Sigh.

He's a HUGE reach at number 8, but the position needed to be addressed.  Maybe he can play in 2013.

Incorrect, sir.

In the Dolphins' first draft, they had the #1 and #2 overall picks (!).  With the second overall pick, they took Rick Norton, QB out of Kentucky.  The following year, they took one Bob Griese with the #4 overall pick.

However, 2 HOFers out of 3 first-round QB picks isn't bad.  Let's hope Tannehill keeps the streak going.  Tongue

It's only a reach if he would've fell far. He wouldn't have lasted another 3 picks if we passed on him, so it really isn't much of a reach.

It's OK with me if he doesn't play till 2013. That means that either Garrard or Moore is doing ok.

I don't think he was in any danger of being drafted until #22.

Or he isn't capable of playing the NFL game yet.  

Hard to get excited about a player who you hopefully won't see play for another year or 2.  Hence the sigh.
