Tannehill a top 10 pick?

NFP has him as the #16 rated player.

This is significant because Cleveland, Jacksonville (I doubt they reach for another rookie QB) and Miami pick before us. Both have adequate veterans who could play until the raw QB develops. A player could drop to #9 if he can get into the top 10.

Secondly, a team like Seattle, KC, or even DENVER (If they sign Manning and trade The Golden Calf of Bristol, this would be VERY smart, considering Tannehill is 2 years away--think Aaron Rogers) might trade with us. A team would want to leapfrog the mass of teams needing a QB that follow us in the draft.

I think it serves the Panthers well if Tannehill's stock continues to rise.

Think Miami

I think the Browns are going to make a big play for Flynn. Miami will only have to worry about Seattle moving to 7 and cutting them out. No need for the Panthers to be involved. Just my opinion. When you think trade down, think Buffalo.

If Miami were to pass on him, then Seattle should not have any problem with him dropping in their lap.

I think he is not a first round pick, but everyone is singing his praises--say in 2 years he is a franchise QB. I still do not see top 10. Most of those teams have immediate needs.

Stirs, I see Flynn in Miami due to his relationship with Philbin. Cleveland may wait until the second round and take Weeden. If Miami misses Manning and Flynn, they are the prime for Tannehill

If somehow Trent Richardson and Tannehill go before us, we are getting a player to drop to us. I also see a player like Floyd (WR) possibly sneaking into the fold. Reiff is another who could go to the Rams at #6. Probably not Claiborne, but a player like Coples could fall to us.

QB driven league so they generally go higher than they are rated. Look at last years draft in first round. Ponder, Gabbert, etc.

QB's go higher than they ought, and RB's go much lower than they ought

All the talking heads on the NFL network say yes

[stirs]

yeah, they were talking last week about the Browns at 4 taking him.

[SOJA]

or the browns could pull a Brady Quinn, and Colt McCoy and hope he just magically falls to them later

[jarhead]

Or the Dolphins

[Kuech Da Sneak]

Gabbert was a top 10 pick last year, right? (loljags)

Then Tannehill definitely is.

Compared to Gabbert, Tannehill should be the top overall pick. Compared to everyone else, Tannehill should be a 2nd rounder.

[Carolina Husker]

I dont want to live in a world where Tannehill is a Top 10 pick.

[Riverboat Ron]

My fantasy scenario is the Dolphins add Matt Flynn, the Browns don't take Tannehill and the Seahawks and Chiefs are looking at him. Maybe Seattle moves up to grab him.

[stirs]

The Browns could be targeting Weeden at the top of the second round.
