If I had money, I'd put money on Osweiler going early as 2nd round, latest in the 3rd.
would you rather take osweiler or weeden at 37?

For us? Osweiler, offers more upside. Weeden is just too old to justify taking him with our only 2nd rounder.

Tannehill better prospect than Ponder. NIce feel in pocket. Good pocket mobility re: lack of experience. Willing to make stick throws.
Tannehill needs work with progession reading but can be coached. Must learn to validate safeties after snap. Threw well outside the numbers.
Tannehill threw w/anticipation. NFL throws: Outs, seams, hooks. Poised w/downfield focus. May have best pocket command + mobility in class.
Is none of the above an option? The bust rate for QBs outside of the 1st round is preposterously high. If we don't get a guy who we deem to be a legitimate franchise caliber guy, I'm all about rolling with Colt next year and finding a developmental guy in the 4th-6th rounds. That way, there's no commitment to anyone going into next year and we can flush the position clean with minimal collateral damage if we need to. I don't want to be like the Panthers and take the "best of the rest" like Clausen who is now worth nowhere near the 2nd round pick he cost. Hell, we already did it ourselves by taking Colt in the 3rd when we whiffed on Bradford. Some guys taken within 10 picks after Colt: Eric Decker, Navorro Bowman, Tony Moeaki, Jimmy Graham. Hopefully Colt pans out but if he doesn't, think Holmgren did us a favor by forcing his QB pick on a divided war room?
QB is the one position where an early selection needs to be made with the ultimate front office conviction and commitment. That's why a trade up for RGIII would've been great even with the risk involved - at least we would've decided on a guy who has legitimate franchise upside and committed to him 100%. If there isn't a guy left in this year's draft who fits that mold because we missed out on both already, it'll suck but... wait until next year.
okay so for anyone that likes tannehill, anywhere in the draft, can you please explain to me why? to me the cons are pretty damn big
cons:
has very limited experience as a college QB (which is a HUGE negative)
as a college QB had almost no success, after his first couple of starts. his senior year he drastically underachieved
was not able to win a starting QB position on texas AM until midway through his junior year competing against jarrod johnson who beat him out as the starter both of their sophomore and junior years, this after stephon mcgee beat him out when tannehill was a freshman

All of these QBs have too many negatives and are way too risky to pick anywhere in the first two rounds. We should wait until next year to draft a QB IMO.
taking any quarterback is risky. the key is to balance the risk and cost.
