papazoid Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 the Bills have been close to drafting a QB in the first round in each of the last two years. in 2010 they almost moved up to get Tim Tebow and last year in 2011 would have taken Cam Newton at #3 overall if he was there......is 2012 the year ?? Ranked #11 overall by NFLDraftScout.com http://www.usatoday.com/sports/football/nfl/story/2012-02-21/nfl-draft-andrew-luck-robert-griffin-top-64/53191320/1 Tannehill waits for chance to prove he's top 10 material: http://www.nfl.com/combine/story/09000d5d82737021/article/tannehill-waits-for-chance-to-prove-hes-top-10-material?module=HP11_content_stream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Huge reach. Especially given his tiny hands. And the Bills didn't try to trade up to get Tebow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jr1 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 It would be interesting to see what Chan and David Lee could get out of him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfladave Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm willing to wager my home that the Bill's don't take him at #10. I might be willing to wager my home that the Bill's don't use any of their top 3 picks on a QB period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Good god, no. Id rather see us trade away our entire draft to get one of the two Top QBs in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VADC Bills Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 (edited) I believe I read where he has only 1 season of starts in his college career. If this is true he is a first round risk for anyone. Edited February 26, 2012 by VADC Bills Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Fong Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 In my opinion Tannehill would be a huge mistake at 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm not opposed to a QB if he's a special, Roethlisberger-type talent. If he's a franchise guy, why not? But it's hard to be excited about Tannehill. Especially when their defense is so pourous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeSpeed Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 That would be just like the Bills. Take a flying leap on at best a second round QB instead of trading up to get either all-world prospects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1B4IDie Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think Tannehill is a better prospect than Gaine Blabbert or Jake Schlocker (although Locker looked pretty guide in some relief duty) I still wouldn't want the Bills to take Tannenhill at #10 overall. Weeden will hit the ground running on a team with a Week 1 need at QB. We just have 3 more years until the Bills take Chad Kelly with their first round pick.

BiggieScooby Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 This would be a PR disaster, the guy redshirted 07 at 19, and played as a receiver till being the full time QB in 11. We can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T master Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Way to big of a reach in the first round for the Bills & if anyone was going to take him in the first round i would think it would be miami , especially seeing as his old HC Sherman is the OC there now . Miami is in about the same boat as the Bills , they have Moore which could be a stop gap until Tannehil is up to speed & who better for Tannehil to break into the league with than Sherman i think that would be a no brainer !! But Tannehil to the Bills at #10 it ain't happening ! Not with the other prospects that the Bills have already talked to & went to their school to watch this past year ( Osweiler) !!

Beerball Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 This would be a PR disaster, the guy redshirted 07 at 19, and played as a receiver till being the full time QB in 11. We can do better. He moved to QB and became the starter during the 2010 season. He entered 2011 as the unquestioned starter, but, no I don't want the Bills to think about him at 10.

The Senator Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Good god, no. Id rather see us trade away our entire draft to get one of the two Top QBs in this draft. That would not be wise, IMHO. Of all the things I don't know, of this one thing I am certain - as an NFL QB, Luck will SUCK!!! Trading away the opportunity to draft multiple quality players at positions of need, just to draft RGIII and hope he'll be a star, is just dumb - look for him to end up in Washington. With the possible exception of OSU's Brandon Weeden (to the Dolphins), no other QBs - including Tannenhill - will be drafted in round one. Fitz is our QB in 2012. Period. Arizona's Nick Foles (6'5", 245 lbs.) had a sub-par performance at the combine - might be worth a look in round 6 as a 'developmental' QB... 19 and 0 baby!!!! GO BILLSSS!!!!

We need someone that can come in and make it obvious they should be a starting NFL QB. Edited February 26, 2012 by DrDareustein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone that can come in and make it obvious they should be a starting NFL QB. ^ Either go for the best the draft has to offer, if the FO truly believes the qb will pan out into a star or bypass the position entirely. I want a new starting qb because I was a star QB, not because I think fitz sucks. He's a middle of the road qb. If foles, cousins or any other qb drafted in the 2-7th rounds develops into a qb as good as fitz, they'd be lucky IMO. Get a stud or wait til you have an opportunity. Don't settle for mediocrity.
