Re: Eight QBs and Where The Latest Rumors Have Them Going

This is what I've been trying to get at when I say I don't believe the gap between RG3 and Tannehill is huge

At QB, it's a matter of value - Rich Tandler's Real Redskins

Most say it will cost this year’s first- and second-round picks and next year’s first, and perhaps more, to move up to draft Griffin. Instead of the Redskins making that move they could take Tannehill with their own pick, the sixth overall.

So, it’s not a matter of Griffin vs. Tannehill. It’s Griffin v. Tannehill plus whoever the Redskins could get in the second round this year plus the player they could get in the first round next year

True but if RG3 is a franchise QB and Tannehill is something less then that it won't really matter that you also got a couple other good players. Over the next 10 years the extra cost is marginal...what's important is that they get the QB they believe is the better one. If in their evaluation the grades are very similar then picking Tannehill and keeping the extra picks is the right move.

Basically, I don't want to hear that we got our 3rd favorite QB but look at this lineman we got. No more settling. Franchise QB trumps all other needs...

But, the skill gap between Tannehil and RG3 is huge. The value of what it will take to move up to draft RG3 versus taking Tannehill anywhere in the draft is even wider. His example hints taking Tannehill at 6th. To me that's shooting yourself in the foot.

if they are high on Tannehill and he is the QB they are targeting they might have to take him at #6. cant trade back to far in the 1st round, because still have dolphins and seahawks looking for a QB.

Good point. I'm still not sold on Tannehill at #6, or even #8 but when you put it in overall value terms like that I can see the logic behind it. I would like to push even further back and get him if they think he is their guy, but then you risk losing him to someone else...glad it isn't my job to figure all this out
