If this game is Tannehill at his worst, then he's fine

How many college QB’s throw timing routes? Not as many as you’d think, but Tannehill did for Texas A&M. The first interception was Tannehill releasing the ball to a spot, but the receiver, who was in position, fell down.

The next two interceptions are Tannehill’s fault, and bad decisions. But most college QB’s are working on learning timing routes. Tannehill’s trying to get better at something he’s already doing. And the bad decisions he made are coachable decisions.

I continue to stick with my assessment: Tannehill needs to sit on the bench for 2-3 years. That seems like a long time, but at the end of that time, whoever drafts him is getting a franchise QB.

For me, it’s Tannehill or Osweiler.
Depending on how quickly his foot heals, Tannehill’s stock could stay quite low, and he might be leapfrogged by QB’s like Nick Foles or Brandon Wheedon at the combine. If he’s there in the second, I think Buffalo has to take him, or if they can trade up at the bottom of the first, they should strongly consider it.
Osweiler is raw and needs plenty of development, but we have an ideal situation for a project QB, and he has tremendous upside. If he lasts until our third or fourth rounder, I’d like to see us pick him up

I would be fine with taking Tannehill at ten, but

I honestly don’t think there is a snowballs chance in hell the Bills make that pick. Forgive me if I have asked you this before, but the more I look into Kirk Cousins the more I like him. What are your impressions? Do you think he lasts until the third round?
