I would not mind a day 3 pick on him. I'm not really sure where he projects right now.

Draftsite,com has Griffin going with in the 3rd round at 69, and Tannehill also in the 3rd at 73.

And CBSSports.com has Tannehill as the 20th best player in the draft and Griffin as the 21st. That is best players overall not just QBs. So where they go is still any ones guess.

Tannehill would not be a bad value with our late 3rd, but a lot depends on what our other needs are. It is hard to justify a backup QB in round 3 when we will likely have half a dozen spots that could be upgraded that will actually see the field in non-injury situations. Oddly, I'd feel better about a round 1 QB who we saw as a clear upgrade in the future than I would about a mid round pick that may never play (dave ragone style).

I like Texas A&M, but I'm not much of a fan of Mike Sherman. Tannehill looks OK though.

I'm a Longhorn, but Tannehill looks great throwing out of play action. I could see him as a Texan.

OK NBT, your guy, RGIII has my attention. A very nice arm, above average runner, and a winner.

Only down side to him is that on the last couple of mocks I've seen he has been creeping into the 1st round. Is it time for the Texans to take a QB of the future in the late 1st?

Nope. Too many knuckleheads around to use it as an opportunity to create a QB controversy. Schaub will just be 31 years old next summer.

Maybe use a 2nd rounder on a QB if Leinart proves to be an incapable backup, but not a 1st.

point to be made though... Schaub is entering the final year of his contract next season. In spite of the injury, it might be time to extend him this offseason if a full recovery is the prognosis.

He is not exactly my guy. I was just throwing him out there to see what kind of response it would get. But that was a good rollout and throwback to his right to win the game from the previously undefeated Sooners.

And no, I would not use a first on RGIII. I liked him better as a late second, or early third. Of course he could end being the same kind of player Andy Dalton has proven to be for the Bengals.

I think the Red Raiders would ask you to amend that comment.
