Personally, I think we trade back and pick up either L. Jones, R. Tannehill, or N. Foles. I think it would be a mistake to move up.

The more I think about it, the more this makes sense. I would do this and only if RGIII is gone by the time the skins draft. Then go for a CB, QB, C, WR, S, LB, etc.

Yup. Been saying that for a while. Though I think it's just as likely we keep our first pick and then use our 2nd rounder and maybe a 2013 pick to move up into the mid first round. Most likely for Tannehill

Jones or Tannehill? Who's better?

I personally think Jones but only because I've seen him play a bunch

Jones is definitely better, and it's not even close. I'm optimistic with Jones, because he didn't have a running game and he wasn't sucking until Broyles went out which can be replaced with an NFL wr.

This is what I said about Ponder and Locker last year, and I think it kind of applies to Jones and Tannehill. Just replace Ponder with Jones and Locker with Tannehill

"When I watch Ponder, I see a guy who will be steady and perhaps underappreciated. I'm not sure though he's going to be a factor when a big play is needed. But then with Locker, I see a guy who can totally turn a game around on one play...except he could turn it around the wrong way.

I like Ponder a lot, but there's something really unique about Locker when he's at his best that Ponder can't compare to."

Foles is a bit of a wildcard in my opinion. Like I've said before, I've seen practicing and he's unreal in practice. But he's not the same QB in a game. And I don't know why that is.

I love Kellen Moore but I don't think he's a QB that should be taken in the first 3 rounds and I haven't heard of any Redskins interest in him.

Keep an eye on Chandler Harnish later in the draft.

I actually really like this.

I still think Landry Jones is the best option and should be the only option, once he learns to look for his 3rd options/check downs he's going to be great.

Good insight.

Lure Matt Flynn in to start next season, draft Blackmon in the first, draft Tannehill, and I think the Redskins are set.

As you know I started out a Jones fan and won't cry if we get him.

But I've come around to seeing that Tannehill should be our guy. Fits the Shanny scheme (either Mike or Kyle's) and can make plays. Smart, tough, good arm. Makes plays with both arm and legs.

It depends on what traits you value more.
Both Tannehill and Jones are upper echelon arm strength/velocity in this draft, I would put both ahead of Griffin and Luck.
Jones has more playing experience but I'd give Tannehill the edge in physical skillset: slighty better arm, much better athlete, but overall they're in the same class.
Tannehill's also benefits from playing in a direct variant of Kyle's offense, so he's got the scheme familiarity going for him.

Do they like tannehill or is that just your gut? I think tannehill is a real talent but will need time to sit and develop.

I've been around long enough to get when people are telling me something without directly saying it. And what they've been saying is they like Tannehill.

If they like Tannehill they obviously haven't seen Landry yet.

If they like Tannehill then I need to know the veteran QB that is part of this plan. Any idea? My perception of Tannehill is that he needs more time then the "lets let Rex start the year as the placeholder" strategy. We would need a veteran we can win with next year and there are not many of those available unless they are Flynn believers. I like that they didn't force it on a QB they didn't love but the problem with waiting until draft #3 to get the QB is that a lot of the development time is lost since the pressure to win games starts to ramp up from here on in. Personally, I would be patient enough for Tannehill to develop, just not sure the entire fan base and ultimately Snyder will be.
