I guess the same could be said for RGIII and Luck as well though. However, I like that they have a little more to judge them on.

Re: Griffin's impact on the off-season FA/draft

Tannehill started more D1 games than Cam Newton so it is not like he is lacking tape or even perhaps some necessary experience.

I think Tannehill is going to be very good. I think if you are QB-hungry you could do worse than taking him at #4. As Parcells said, better a round early (or in this case just a few picks early) than a pick too late.

Kiper and McShay predict that Tannehill will be a successful NFL quarterback. The fact that he only has 19 starts on the NCAA division 1 level might actually turn out to be a good thing. From the youtube videos I've seen of him, he's not that far behind Luck or Griffin III in terms of talent and ability. With the right coaching, he could be Joe Montana II.

IMO opinion it's to early to tell how good/great/bad everyone of them will be no matter how excited I get over drafting RG3/LUCK. Tannehill has the least amount of work to grade so with him it's even harder.

The best weapon we can give our new qb is a very good offensive line.

That's what I would think as well.
Meanwhile D.Bell is visiting the Eagles.

yeah, they'll probably sign either him or Marcus McNeil now that Peters is done for the year.
