From Joe Philbin himself ...

(On having a No. 1 receiver in the offense) - “Part of the philosophy of the offense is to have balance. We want our quarterbacks typically to have what we call progression reads where they’re not necessarily isolated on one specific individual. With that being said, we’re going to play to our hot hand. We’re going to certainly strive to create mismatches and take advantage of the guys that we do have. But the offense, once we install the passing game, is not necessarily built upon ok you’re the #1 guy, you’re the #2 guy, you’re the #3 guy. As we put the plays together for the quarterback in his mind there’s a progression of who’s the first receiver, who’s the second receiver, who’s the third receiver. But it’s more multiple in terms of, we can have a variety of guys lined up in that spot and so it’s not necessarily that there isn’t one, but it’s not that there is one either. We’re going to do whatever to move the ball effectively. Certainly, we’re going to study our strengths and try to expose the weaknesses of the defense either by scheme, formation, or personnel. But we don’t necessarily think in terms of right now this guy is our one, this guy is our two, and this guy is our three at this stage of the game.”

Luck and Griffin both have a lot of talent...they will be good if they each are surrounded by a good supporting cast...Tannehill would be going into the best situation of the three if we are able to draft him because we're the strongest overall team.

I wouldn't say that any one of the three (Luck, Tannehill, Griffin) is better than the others at this juncture. They each have thier strengths and weaknesses in comparisson with each other.

The distinction of who's best will have to be earned on the field.

Greg Jennings was the number 1 reciever the last 4 years or so. Driver was a little older and use to be the number 1. Once they had them both in prime around 2007 trough 2009 it was like having Duper and Clayton... both guys are number 1 recievers. That would be great, but first thing you have to do is have a number 1 reciever before you can have 2 of them... Who is our number 1 reciever on our roster?
It doesnt change the facts.... Those guys were target 1 and 2.. they caught on avg around 78 balls a season each...

I agree . I will even take it a step further and say if we draft tannehill he will have a better career statswise than payton manning dan marino joe montana and tom brady.

I will even say he is going to win at least 5 superbowls at least been the mvp at least 3 times. POUND FOR POUND he will be just atonishing to the rest of the league.

Gee ken.

I will go as far as saying he will grow wings and fly like an airplane. He will even be like superman and his only weakness will be kryptonite.
