Regardless of how long Tanny plays on this deal he's going to need a backup anyway and drafting someone to sit behind him and learn wouldn't be any different from what NE did with Jimmy G. They got him in the 2nd and he sat for 3 years. If Tanny were 27, 28 years old there wouldn't even be a need to wonder. We'd just sign a vet to play behind him, but Tanny will be 32 in July. Many QBs don't play into their late 30s the way some do. If Tanny happened to still playing at a high level 2 or 3 years at the age of 34/35, then the guy we take this year could prove to be good trade fodder at that point. Or, if he has proven to be a good replacement for Tannehill, just keep him and cut Tanny loose. I think drafting a QB is very much on the table Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's getting tagged. Conkin is gone IMO unless you do a long term deal (which one can argue has some merit). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think they would go QB on day 1 or 2, nor should they rely on a day 3 pick to be the lone backup. Titans279 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about they. They draft late and most of the qbs are expected to go in the first two rounds. They have bigger needs in the first three rounds.

Even if he is the whole bag of kibble and bits, he may not make it to our pick. And he might not be the whole bag of kibble anyway. 3 minutes ago, BudAdams said: They absolutely will need to add a viable backup at some point. The problem right now is that they do not have a ton of draft capital to work with. True, it'd be nice to have more picks. But the Patriots only had 6 draft picks in 2014 when they took Jimmy G and they didn't even have a 3rd round pick that year (unless they traded it away... they did have 3 4th round picks). JRob had already left the Pats by then, but he's done more with less before himself if he believes in the players he's targeting. Look at the Evans/Landry draft.

Someone who if Tannehill misses some time can come in and maybe win us some games. We shouldn't spend a 1-4 round pick on a QB this year (needs to be someone that can contribute), and any QB taken outside the 1st round is a massive gamble anyway who might not even be a reliable backup this year.

BudsOilers Posted March 15, 2020 Report Share Posted March 15, 2020 I'm on the assumption that Conklin and Ryan leave. They may also face a potential holdout from Henry so RB will be up there too. Add the edge rush need and IDK. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
