With Matt Barkley returning to school and possibly Jones, I agree with Walt that Ryan Tannehill will move up and get drafted well ahead of where he should go because of the demand at the position. He could be this year's Blaine Gabbert/Christian Ponder.
The 6-foot-4, 222-pound Tannehill is a good athlete who can make big plays with his feet and has a strong arm. This season, he completed 62 percent of his passes for 3,744 yards with 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. The senior also rushed for 355 yards with four touchdowns. Tannehill was inconsistent and is still developing at the position. He played well versus Baylor and Missouri, but struggled against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and Texas.
Tannehill has only played one full season at quarterback, so he will need time to develop at the pro level. The senior has only 20 collegiate starts at quarterback.
As a wide out in 2008, Tannehill caught 55 passes for 844 yards and five touchdowns. He switched to quarterback in 2010 and played well in the last half of the season as the Aggies' starter. Tannehill completed 65 percent of his passes for 1,638 yards with 13 touchdowns and six interceptions.

No way I'd want to see Tannehill in the first.
Third or fourth, depending on what the scouts / coaches think of him maybe.

Tannehill is a 3rd round pick IMO - maybe a late 2nd
we pick him in the 1st thats a complete waste of a pick – especially with the glaring OL holes.
Uhhh...I hate looking at the 1983 Draft and seeing 2 HOF'ers picked after our washed up QB pick.
