    By Jason Clary (MiamiFinsJC)

    QB Ryan Tannehill, Texas A&M
    Grade: A

    Analysis: This was the consensus pick for Jeff Ireland, Joe Philbin and Stephen Ross. Tannehill was the highest quarterback ever taken from Texas A&M. He is also only the third quarterback the Miami Dolphins have EVER taken in the first round. The other two – Dan Marino and Bob Griese – leave a huge legacy behind.

    While Tannehill isn’t the most experienced quarterback, he has shown the ability to command his offense. Running a similar offense in college, Tannehill will make an easy transition in terms of verbiage and learning the playbook.

    Tannehill, a former starting receiver for Texas A&M, brings a superb athletic ability to Miami. Along with great athleticism, Tannehill has shown an ability to make accurate outside throws and anticipate routes before his receivers complete their route.
    Miami needed a quarterback, and they got their guy. Great pick.
    “I’m still a Dolphin at heart,” Marino said. “I’m excited about South Florida getting a team back that they’re going to be very proud of and a team that, in my mind, is going to have a chance to make the playoffs.”

    Wow...whoever he is he gave every pick an A or a B. That might be a little too optimistic. LOL!

    I agree with him. With the exception of the DT, all of our picks warrant an A or B grade IMO.

    It was not a perfect draft (what drafts are really?), but I don't think it's too optimistic. We filled every need we had and got some very good value on most of our picks. If, and hoping, when Tannehill turns into a solid to very good QB for us, it could very well be the draft that saves Ireland's hyde in Miami this season.

    Be afraid, Brady. Be very afraid!

    I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do.

    I like the review, but i personally don't think Kheeston Randall will make the roster. Thought he was our only not-so-great pick.

    Way too homeristic for my liking. It was a draft full of boom or bust players. Nothing "A" about it.

    In the eyes of a pessimist, maybe.
