Uh...I thought they said McCoy was their guy? If that were remotely true, why would they have Tannehill visit?

I'm going out on a limb here and say they are genuinely interested in Tannehill. I hope they take him too. For obvious reasons.

McCoy hasn't showed anything, well for me anyway, that states he's starting level. Don't blame them if look at QB's in the draft.

If they do take Tannehill, then the chain reactions will fall almost perfectly for the panthers.

The wage cap pretty much throws everything we know about the top half of the draft out the window. 2 years ago Tannerhill probably is a 2nd round pick. Now top 5 isn't out of the question. God I love the NFL. Personally I think he's this years Gabert (which to toot my own horn I was one of the few that said he was at best a 2nd round prospect) but who knows. I'd bet he is gone before we pick either to them or the Phins.

How do you figure? How does the Browns taking Tannehill at 4 help us at all?

its another player we wouldnt pick going ahead of us.... meaning someone we may want is falling down, how does this not help?

I concur. He's very similar to Gabba gabba.

As far as why this would help us, it's simple. Bucs would have to chose Richardson. Meaning Claiborne would drop to us.

It increases the chances of Claiborne falling.

[mick eye]

Smokescreen.

But seriously still don't see Tampa Bay passing on Claibourne.

It very well be gamesmanship.

Convice other teams that you are interested in Tannehill....therefore any team really interested in Tannehill may think they need to trade up with you to get him.

Not really that hard to understand.

If it falls how it falls, Claiborne will go 4,5,6, depending on what happens around him. HE WILL NOT DROP TO #9.

5 is the only place I see him going if the Vikings don't nab him at 3. Unless someone trades up with St Louis at 6.

[Proudiddy]

McShay has Claiborne going to the Rams now, even with Tannehill still getting drafted in the top 8 (albeit after Claiborne).

I just don't see anyway he falls to us at this point.

[Actionman0z]

I think our pick will come down to Decastro/Luke K. and thats a good place to be, except that you do not draft either one of those positions at #9 according to the NFL.

[Proudiddy]

Yeah, I'm thinking we're gonna end up trading back.
