As the process has played out leading up to April’s draft, former Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill has shot up draft boards.
Tannehill, a wide receiver for his first two seasons with the Aggies, has established himself as the “next-best” quarterback prospect behind Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III. His ascent, due in part to the increasing demand for a quarterback as free agency winds down, has put the spotlight on one of the most unique quarterback prospects in years.
The stability of a team’s quarterback position can cause buzz—or impatience—to reach a fever pitch.
NFL Network’s Mike Mayock recently broke down this offseason’s headliners and what else to look for at this week’s Combine on a conference call with reporters.
It appears that the Colts will select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the first pick in this April’s draft, preventing the Dolphins from selecting the Heisman runner-up.

Ask most general managers or NFL scouts and they’ll tell you that it usually takes about three years to be able to fully evaluate a draft. With that in mind, we take a look back to the 2008 NFL draft in which the Dolphins held the #1 overall selection.
Coming off of a rough 2007 season and with a new regime in town, the #1 overall pick was a selection that the Dolphins couldn’t afford to miss on.
Perhaps no player acquisition process in all of sports is as scrutinized as the first round of the NFL Draft. So-called draft experts like Mel Kiper Jr., Todd McShay and Mike Mayock spew their opinions on television, while every fan has their own opinions about which players their favorite teams should select.
During the pre-draft period, questions are posed about all prospects, from Dan Marino to Peyton Manning.
