I guess you are not familiar with a guy named Tom Brady, fifth rounder. Guys fall through the cracks all the time some of the best players un our team like wake and reshad jones were undrafted or fifth round picks.

Here's a thought
We are one tackle away from Brock Osweiler being our starting QB
Hopefully that gets addressed

What really bothers me is New England was looking at major issue on the line and in less than 24 hours they have fixed and improved their line. While 10 years later were still working on ours!

If I was a betting man, New England is gearing up for a new offense built around the run. Especially knowing Brady is near the end you grab some road graders and a RB to ease a new QB into the system. The East is gearing up for covering wideouts but we need to address the linebackers ASAP our we will be be Nicole and dined for 4-6 per carry

Ryan tannehill stays healthy we are fine. He doesn’t I don’t think there’s any better developmental option for our style o which relies on ball placement and rac than Luke falk.

Might have to beat some other teams to the punch though.

We better hope tremaine Edmunds doesn’t reach his ceiling in Buffalo. Gonna be a long decade of bone crushing if he does.

I trust Brock Osweiller about as far as I can throw a fit. If Mason Rudolph makes it past the first nine picks... grab'em! And groom him in case of when Tannehill's knee acts like a winging barroom door or he begins to really suck as bad as some Marino spoiled kids think!

Not every 5th round QB is Tom Brady. They're more often than not a Cleo Lemon.

30 yr old WR turned QB experiment that was sold to us by Mike Sherman has unfortunately already shown us all he's got to offer in my opinion. But I pray I'm wrong

This is one of those huge misconceptions that I just can't let slide.

RT was NEVER a WR turned QB. Never. He is a QB that played WR for a season or two in college while he waited to be a starter at QB.

Brady was 30 years old before he started to emulate an elite QB and that's with his coaches cheating for him. Rodgers sat the bench for 3 years (RT has only really played 4 years) before he even started a game. Saying that a 30 year old QB, in today's game, has peaked is just wrong.

Well we are in rounds 2-3 tonight, so if they draft someone that high, I’m guessing they think he can be developed into a franchise guy at some point.

You take your shots at the most important position in sports...well because its the most important position in sports. Stats say banking on a 3rd or 4th rounder being a starter at any position isnt wise.

Wait...isn't that called an experiment? I thought so many of you were tired of the "Tannehill Experiment" and yet, you're willing to do it again?

My head hurts

Carmen said something like that in the Minkah thread yesterday.

Hurts? it doesn’t work well.

You said “you” yet I have never said anything of the such.

Please do the proper research before making false accusations. That’s not cool

I think at this point no matter what we do qb wise tanny gets hurt seasons over.

I doubt gase green lights the style of o Rudolph comes from but you never know. Whatever gase does at qb now that the top prospects are gone I’m just gonna roll with it but I don’t love the positional value options at 42. And I see some of these guys as 2 deep lifer types.

And Brock osweiler? Even gase knows he can’t hide that exposure but so much.

Please, no QB in round 2.

I have not been enamored with any of the qbs in this class. Im actually excited the Jets took another shot on a USC qb in Darnold. That guy is a turnover waiting to happen, think it was 22 last year. 9 picks the year before, dont know how many fumbles.

Allen may have a big arm but a sub 60% college compeletion percentage. These guys dont worry me much.

Getting excited about round 2 and 3 tonight. I don't really have a guy in mind. I think a lot of guys can help us. Grier said in his pre-draft presser that they factor in NEED with BPA. So, understanding that, I hope we continue to build on a great pick yesterday with BPA tonight. I know we need a TE, a backup QB to develop, and a LB. I really like Griffin, but if he or a TE or a QB isn't BPA, then I hope we don't force it.

If we’re number 11 how come we don’t have the 43rd pick overall and instead have the 42nd? That doesn’t make any sense

TE solution found and probably on the cheap cheap for a year. Take a Te in the 4th

No. For the love of God no! No more washed up tight ends.

Aww come on i rather a rookie learn from a hall of famer
Although truthfully he will probably want to go to a winning team so he may go Pats or something similar.

I am fine with bringing him in as a coach.

Gates is way way washed up.

Hard pass

There is a shit load of talent left on the board, lets go Grier.

One of the good things about us needing so many different positions is that we can go in so many directions. We're not stuck on hoping a certain player reaches us and so can be open to whatever ends up happening.

When you're poor, you have nothing to lose. I'd rather have the other problem.

I'd rather have the other problem but I'm just looking for positives with where we are right now.

Run on Olinemen.
