The Miami Dolphins have decided to go in a new direction at the QB position. With a young Matt Moore and a veteran David Garrad, I would of personally worked at filling other concerns. Concerns that are in much greater need of attention. Ryan Tannehill was a wide reciever turned QB. Doesn’t have much experience and has many bad habits. I think the Dolphins really should of used this draft pick more wisely.

Miami Dolphins Still Projected to Select Ryan Tannehill in Mock Draft 10.0 Despite Trade Rumors
Ten down, none to go. It's been a long journey with these 10 mock drafts, and a large chunk of these first-round prospects have really begun to take shape.

Miami Dolphins select Ryan Tannehill, Grade F
