2012 QB Prospects (Part 2)

[diehard]

Where's the Heisman poll?

[Mechanix544]

I think its a forgone conclusion that RG3is going to win the Heisman.........

[Alvin Walton]

Well, he won it.
He'd look nice in burgundy and gold.

[skins89moss]

Give me RGIII over Barkley because he elevated the players around him. Everyone knows USC gets big time talent unlike Baylor gets lower level talent.

[SmootSmack]

I still don't think it'll be either of those guys. I think the name you're going to hear a lot of next April in connection with the Skins is Tannehill

Why?

[musicmaster45]

Ok so are drafting tannehill with the first pick, trading down, or waiting till second round?

It'd be nice to get blackmon with the first, and tannehil w/ the second. Overall, I'd prefer we'd not play a guessing game with a project QB. For once, I want that QB other fans wish they had... Can we please draft Barkley?

I don't know. Maybe we'll take him with our first pick. Maybe Luck, Barkley, and RGIII won't be even be available even if they did want them. Maybe we'll add a 2nd first round pick by moving up from the 2nd round.

I really don't know. I could be totally wrong. A couple of years ago I had a feeling very early that we'd take Trent Williams...and we did. Last year I thought it was Robert Quinn...and we didn't (though I did have Kerrigan in my final mock). This year, I just have a feeling about Tannehill. I just think he's the guy the Shanahans are truly targeting

Tannehill doesn't have the rocket arm shanahan covets... Plus why would they draft a project player so high in the draft? I just hope your intuition is wrong in this instance.

I think he's got a pretty strong arm. Also, if we're picking in the top 5 then no I don't think it'll be Tannehill. Sorry, should have been clearer. But I don't think we'll necessarily take a QB in the top 5 either.

Ryan Tannehill? I'm not sure which games you've watched but in every game that I've seen Tannehill displays above average velocity on all the litmus test NFL throws. (deep out and deep comeback from the far hash, deep sideline, seam route)

Plus he's doing it in an offense that is a direct variant of Mike Shanahan/Kubiak offense.

Foles is a 2nd round possibility. I know they've scouted Davis and Harnish as potential later round selections. I think Kinne as well, but I'm not 100% sure

Do you have any explanation as to why they haven't scouted Barkley harder? Just curious.
