I think IF this is the case, there shouldn't be any messing around. If you have a quarterback that you like - available at the spot that you're drafting then I believe you can't take the risk of trading down or waiting. This is the position that will make or break an entire nfl organization.

Ryan Tannehill is not a top 10 pick. He's a mid first round to mid second round pick at best. I don't see Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan reaching for a QB like Tennesee and Minnesota did in last year's NFL draft. The Redskins, if unable to get Griffin III, should then trade back and use their 6th overall pick to acquire a mid 1st round selection and additional picks for the 2nd and 3rd rounds. Then and only then would taking Tannehill be a smart move. At least we still get our QB even if it isn't truly the one we want, and we get more draft choices to fill other holes along the roster.

I disagree that Tannehill is not a top-10 pick.

And I also think that not getting our guy at the most important position on the field is foolish. You do whatever it takes to get your guy, not a good enough guy.

I see what what you're saying but, it just seems a bit crazy to reach so far down being so far up at the top of the draft. That would be like MIN taking Riley Reif or DeCastro. It's doesn't seem as crazy further down the draft, picks 15-32 per se.

Tannehill should go in the top 10. If he is our guy, waiting for 15-32 is not a good idea 'cuz he'll be gone.

Other than the Skins, who in the top-10 will be crazy enough, I mean, interested enough in taking Tannehill that high?

Look at half the teams I listed in my last post.

Try telling that to the dolphins, bills, seahawks, and even the chiefs and cardinals - all of whom pick at 13 or before. One of these teams - I would bet - pick Tannehill in the first. Tannehill is definitely not a polished qb, but he may have more potential than any other qb with the exception of Luck. In my opinion, the rest of qbs (after luck, RGIII, and Tannehill) aren't even worth the trouble of drafting because they don't seem to have the potential of even starting in the nfl.

The Shanahans are feeling the pressure of drafting their qb of the future in THIS draft- regardless of who they pick up in free agency. If they don't trade up to get RGIII, I think they have no choice but to draft Tannehill with the 6th pick.
