Who would Cleveland had Drafted at QB had we picked another position at 8?

	Tannehill
	Weeden

---

It's the off-season. The draft is over. Nothing will change what was done but here is a fun question I would like to get the opinion of board members on.

Let's Suppose the Dolphins had passed on Tannehill at number 8 and had drafted some other position without trading down........

That's the premise......

Assuming picks between number 9 and 21 stayed the same,since Cleveland had the opportunity to draft Tannehill at no. 4, I want your opinion on who you think Cleveland would have drafted at number 22, Tannehill or Weeden.

I know some people are probably going to complicate it and ask where is the option for another player at another position but let's keep this simple, or at least keep it only as complex as it already is.

It would have been Weeden because Peter King garaunteed that Seattle would have selected Tannehill at 12.

"When you suck long enough, you get a Hickey"

the more interesting Q I think is what QB WE would have taken. I agree that RT would be gone; I don't see up having traded ahead of CLE to take Weedon. So it would've left likely Osweiller or Cousins. For some reason they seemed to really have studied Osweiller and it may have been him; he has bust written all over him, I am so glad we didn't take him in the second. Cousins to me reminds me too much of Henne, so I didn't want him either.

All in all, I think taking RT at 8 was the best move. Every pass rusher we could've had there had big time questions and went at least 7 picks later (so by definition taking them at 8 would've been a "reach," lol). Floyd at 8 would not have made much sense, IMO.

My only regret in the draft was not getting a better WR or pass rusher---still wish he had packaged 1 or both of those 3ds to get back into the second and get one of those....

It would have been nice if we had an extra 2nd.

Pat Kirwan said that he spoke to multiple teams that said they would absolutely take Tannehill if he fell to them. And he said the teams that Miami had to worry about in a trade down scenario were Buffalo at #10, KC at #11, Seattle at #12, and Cleveland at #22.

I think Cousins. He was my late round pick. The fact that Washington grabbed him after draft RG says something too.

if we wanted RT, totally not worth risking losing him in a trade down that would have netted a 2d round pick at best. can you imagine if ireland had risked it and lost? he'd have been eviscerated

Cousins was a late round pick for a reason, and Tannehill was a top 10 pick for a reason.

I wasn't freaking out.

I was just simply stating that the skill sets each have are totally different. And un-comparable.

Here's another hypothetical: what if Flynn had accepted Miami's contract offer? We'd still have drafted Tannehill, right?

Then Moore would definitely be a goner, and you'd have a pretty interesting QB competition between Flynn and Tannehill.

I am really starting to dig the tannehill pick
