Think that's why I and a lot of others have been saying as well. Might have been different if Landry Jones and Barkley declared, but they didn't.

yeah remember you saying the samething. I just dont know how I feel about such a gamble. Mayock backed that up with last year's Ponder and Locker picks being reaches but paraphrasing in some way just to emphasize how QB have become such a necessity in a passing league. They're always exceptions, but we may be ripe for a reach considering Shanny's mismanagement of the QB position in a short tenure. In the back of his mind, I wonder whats more important, the right FA QB signing or the right QB draft pick? Whatever the plan is, it needs to be a combo of both, that right combination is especially tricky with Manning coming out and his health issues and the fact Jones and Barkely deciding to stay. Shanny's in a tight spot.

Watch us sign Peyton and somehow also trade for Luck, ha!....

But seriously though I tend to think still that our first pick won't be a QB. Of course, a lot of that is based on my not corroborated by any sources theory that we're going to make a trade offer to the Pats for Hoyer

Barring a trade for Hoyer, I think we will take Tannehill at 6. And I will be happy. Yes, I know that we have other needs and a guy like Claiborne can fill one. And yes, it would be a reach. But you've got to get your guy at QB. We lost our guy last year - let's not make the same mistake.
