April 27, 201214 yr Well Tannehill is the man now. Can he play.....we'll see. Ireland and Philbin just staked their jobs on him working out.
April 27, 201214 yr Dolphins definitely felt pressure to take a QB. I'm not happy, but can't say I'm angry. Just gotta wait and see.
April 27, 201214 yr Author Tannehill becomes the first quarterback the Dolphins have drafted in the first round since selecting Dan Marino in the 1983 NFL Draft. Hope they don't think he's going to turn out like Marino...Fins should have just rode out the season with Moore and waited for next season to try and get a better QB.

No one is expecting that because there will never be another Marino. Tannehill is gonna have to create his own identity.
April 27, 201214 yr Author Don't think I like the Dolphins' pick. If you're going to trade your #1 WR & leave yourself with an anemic offense then why select a QB with your first pick? If you're going to draft a QB, make a trade & get a true elite level QB. Dolphins may have wasted their #8 overall pick on a bench warmer. Should've picked an immediate impact type player if they really had the "win now" attitude. The only brightside is that the Dolphins finally have a QB prospect who has shown he has the physical "capability" to be groomed into a franchise type QB.
April 27, 201214 yr We're not in a win now mode. You can't just say trade for an elite QB and expect them to do it. There has to be someone available. We're not done drafting. We will go receiver in the draft.
April 27, 201214 yr The Dolphins expected to get Manning. They didn't. In the process of waiting for Manning, they decided it would be in the team's best interest not to trade 3 first round picks (and more) to move up to get RG3. Then, they decided Matt Flynn wasn't really any better than Matt Moore. Tannehill is Plan D. Not by design, but by circumstance and evaluation. The team was pretty much forced to take him earlier than he probably should.

April 27, 201214 yr Jaguars trade up to 5. BLACKMON!! wooohooooo!!! sports bar was goin' nuts up here.
April 27, 201214 yr I trust Philbin and Sherman. At least they're putting their eggs into the basket of a young, promising QB instead of another washed up journeyman who was never any good to begin with. I'm hoping we get either Stephen Hill or Coby Fleener with our second pick.
April 27, 201214 yr Love how ESPN is stroking New England over the Chandler Jones pick when he did absolutely nothing in college. All the measureables in the world mean jack if you do nothing with them on the field.
April 27, 201214 yr Relieved to finally see the Dolphins take a QB. Finally, at least some hope that we can have our next great QB. It may or may not work out, but at least we have something to look forward to. This is like the opposite of the Ginn pick. Lots of good prospects out there potentially for Phins in 2nd round.
April 27, 201214 yr I am not thrilled with the pick, but we have to assume that Philbin knows quarterbacks and that Sherman knows Tannehill
April 27, 201214 yr Love how ESPN is stroking New England over the Chandler Jones pick when he did absolutely nothing in college. All the measureables in the world mean jack if you do nothing with them on the field. Did nothing? I can't disagree more. He's going to be a great pro.
April 28, 201214 yr A PUNTER. highest picked punter in like 17 years. the Jags GM apparently couldn't stand being showered with praise after the Blackmon selection so he goes & does this. This kid better boot it 70 yards.
April 28, 201214 yr Supposedly the LB the Bucs drafted at the end of the 2nd round is a 1st round talent.
