General impression I'm getting from people there as far which QBs came across the most impressive in press conferences/interviews/general character

1. RG3
2. Cousins
3. Luck/Weeden
5. Foles
6. Tannehill

I've been listening to SiriusXM NFL radio a lot and they've been interviewing combine players left and right. A lot of them sound like straight thugs but one guy I was really impressed with was Russell Wilson. He was very articulate, had great answers to the questions asked of him, not stupid generalized answers, and I didn't realize how mature he is.

Drafted in the 4th round by the Rockies, played in the minors so he has professional sport playing experience already. Plus he played in two different types of offenses. The west coast system at NC State, and learned the entire playbook in 21 days at Wisconsin where they run a pro-style offense where Wilson is under center 90% of the time. He was elected a captain shortly after joining the team which should say something about his leadership. I know at 5'11' people have concerns about him being too short, but he has a great arm, mobility and can make all the throws. If we don't trade up to get RG3 I really think trading down and taking a look at him would be a steal.

I hope we dont overvalue Cousins. At best he's a 3rd round pick, nothing sooner.

Its hard to make an argument of not putting a package together for the St. Louis pick at this point.

I'm sorry but cousins does not impress me at all ugh

[SmootSmack]

Depending on the circumstances I can see us spending one of our 4ths on Cousins, nothing higher

I'd rather use one of our mid-to-late rounders on Kellen Moore or Russell Wilson. Cousins is okay but I haven't seen much from him, albeit in the very limited action I've seen of him.

Listening to Mike Mayock today on the Jim Rome Show, his thinking is Tannehill doesnt make it pass 12. Wow unbelievable.

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.

This year's Gabbert and Ponder no?

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

[Lotus]

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.

Supply and demand. There are at least 6 teams that need QB's and Tannehill is considered the 3rd best QB, therefore someone will make the move before someone else beats them to get him.
