tannehill can not start next year he isnt ready
on top of that browns dont have any WRs either
they wont take tannehil as they have no1 to a team will nly take him if they have a qb in place
i ahree they may take him but as of now i just think it would be a dumb move

Blackmon isnt worth it at 4. Dont let it being a down year as far as elite WR talent trick you into reaching for a guy who'd have been the #3 WR selected last year at #4. Whats more valuable, a QB or a WR? A good QB can be successful throwing to s**tty WRs and making them look better than they are, happens all the time. Plus they invested a second in Little last year, who despite missing his Junior year put up pretty decent numbers despite the drops and the awful awareness of McCoy.

tannehill is a huge reach they dont have a WR an a great prospect is on the board where 2 QBs have gone and a late forst to early second qb prospect is there
youre reaching like 20 spots when an elite prospect at a position of need is sitting right there

Again, who's throwing him the ball? QBs more often make the WR rather than a WR making a QB successful.
And Blackmon, again, isnt that elite. There are no elite WRs this year. A lot even argue that Kendall Wright is as good a prospect as Blackmon. Look, I agree that Tannehill is a reach but, like I proved, Locker and Ponder and Gabbert were as well, no? Better to reach for a QB than a WR. WR isnt running your offense.

The value of Blackmon compared to Tannehill is massive. Blackmon is the #1 prospect at his position and has been all year, Tannehill is nowhere near close to his competition. If you think reaching for Tannehill at 4 is smarter then drafting Blackmon at 4 then thank god you aren't the GM. He shouldnt even be drafted in the first round unless a team trades back into the 1st for him.

no way all 3 of those qb prospects were better than tennehill coming into draft
and i agree blackmon isnt eite prospect but he is the best this class (i think floyd is actually) on many team board

I had CLE taking Blackmon, but I read that Holmgren doesn't believe in taking WRs at the top of the draft.
So they're going to reach on an overrated, overhyped QB in Tannehill. I would be shocked if they picked him at 4. Holmgren must really want to bounce his grandkids on his knee.

Tannehill is a better prospect than Gabbert and maybe Ponder, plus he comes from a pro (Mike Sherman), west coast offensive background. The Browns make a ton of sense to reach for him. Heckert has talked him up. a WR can easily be had at 22, Id bet my life on Tannehill being long gone at 22, and again, you dont take the chance of losing out on a QB, as Washington just proved and Tenn, Minn, and Jax proved last year.

I see the Seahawks rolling with Tavaris one last time and then trying to snag Barkley next year.

Because they're going to lose Wallace in 2012 or Brown in 2013. Duh

Hill at 19 to the Bears? And the Steelers got WR's for days why in the world are they spending a 1st rounder on another one? Panthers are set at o line why in the world would they pass up on Coples or Poe to draft Martin?
