RGIII a future Texan?

[Warren]

To me Griffin looks closer to 6-0/200 than 6-3/210, so it'll be interesting to see what his combine measurements are when he does come out. I don't think his talk about trying to make the 2012 Olympic track team will help his draft status; NFL teams consider QB to be a full time job so he's probably going to have to make a decision. His passing numbers (ratio-wise, not totals) are generally better than Kevin Kolb's UH stats in the same or a very similar Art Briles offense. Kolb did have better yards per completion (13.45 to 12.29) and per attempt (8.28 to 8.25) which suggests that Griffin's ridiculous completion percentage benefits from his going more to the shorter routes.

Maybe my maroon bias is showing, but I think Ryan Tannehill would be a great fit in Kubiak's offense. He'd be tough on the bootlegs the Texans love to run.

Kubiak spoke very highly of Tannehill the other day on the radio. Not necessarily about him as a player, but as a person. I think his skill set fits our offense well, and I think Kubiak would be intrigued by how raw he is at QB. I honestly think teaching QBs in one of the things Kubs does best. I would not mind a day 3 pick on him. I'm not really sure where he projects right now.

Griffin is not a very fluid player for how fast he is. Looks like more of a straight line speed guy. But he has plenty of athletic tools, solid accuracy and arm, and one of the most beautiful deep balls you will find. I have watched Baylor twice this year and both times he has dropped deep balls into very small windows. Many guys cannot get the ball to turn over in flight, but he drops it right on their head. His size and injury concerns would make me very nervous though. Size and build wise he is like Michael Vick without the escapability. I don't see how he could hold up to the punishment unless he got Peyton Manning good at throwing it away.

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?
