Notes from Shanahan interview at owners' meeting

Tebow is going to go in the first...book it.

I don't think anybody should be afraid to take him in round 2. Hell I'm not convinced someone won't roll the dice on him late in the 1st.


This is not the same kid that played in college.He has a whole new throwing motion,not a fan and Matty I think a #2 is to high for him.NFL defense's are just to fast for this guy.

Tebow is going to go in the first...book it.ok,.....to whom?

He has a shortened motion. Many guys that come into the league have their motions tweaked in order to quicken their release. Honestly I think the whole thing about his motion has been overblown.

If MS thinks Tebow can be an elite QB i'm ok w/ using a 2nd on him. It's all smoke and mirrors right now though. Teams are going to generally say what is in the best interest for them to say.

Do you think St Louis should come out and say they don't have any interest in Sam Bradford? No, it's in their best interest to speak highly of SB (and they may be interested) and a team might jump up and make them a quality offer for the #1 overall.

I don't think the interest in Tebow is legit...but I guess stranger things have happened

You'd know better than I would but neither do I. When you comment on his character and drive you have to speak positively. However, I would not be surprised if we were trying to boost his draft stock to convince a team to take him earlier so that we either 1) get our 2nd round guy that we want or 2) convince a team to wait till the 2nd round or later to pick up a guy to free an opportunity for ourselves

He has a shortened motion. Many guys that come into the league have their motions tweaked in order to quicken their release. Honestly I think the whole thing about his motion has been overblown.

If we're okay with a questionable motion we've already got Colt!

I just hope that if he does take Tebow somewhere high (top 36 picks), that it's because he likes the odds, and not because he's not afraid to "roll the dice".

I think Shanahan genuinely admires the young man but that does not mean that Shanny would draft him. The fact that Shanahan is planning to go on a tour of the top 4-5 QB's in the draft, that he would take the valuable time to see them personally, tells me that he is going to draft a QB in the first or second round of the draft. It doesn't tell me who that QB might be.

I'm very interested to see which players Shanny goes to visit. Using the SWAG method, I'm guessing that he'll visit with Bradford, Clausen, and Colt McCoy. My darkhorse pick for a Shanny visit is Zac Robinson.

It can't be. He simply has too many holes to warrant a 2nd round draft pick. It's the media hyping this guy up cause he changed his throwing motion. Big deal. He's in a t-shirt tossing the ball around. I really hope we're not looking at taking this guy. Let someone else fall for this nonsense.

I agree with this. He may turn out to be awsome but even with all the media talking about him, people like Casserly are throwing out the warning that he will do fine up until teams decide to throw pressure at him cause all QB's have a tendency to revert back to their original form when under pressure and scrambling for their life vs. sitting in the pocket and making sure he's using the right technique. Their not saying anything bad about him just pointing out that with a QB like him other teams will bring pressure all day cause they know he won't have time to think about all the fine tuning and will simply start using his longer throwing motion which will give the DE's a chance at swating the ball loose.
