Oh the irony, Bill Polian and his article about draft trade scenarios

[chad72]

I do not have Insider Access, so I will copy what I know of the article:

I personally don't consider Tannehill to be a first round QB

[ReMeDy]

With the trade precedent the Washington Redskins made to trade up to 2nd overall, Polian must realize trading up just to get Tannenhill would be nearly just as ridiculous. Going from #8 to #3 is a big endeavor. I'm thinking it would cost the Dolphins at least two 1st round draft picks and a 2nd round pick. No way is Tannenhill worth that.

Sorry ol' Bill,you're crazy

The Dolphins aren't going to do that trade, Bill. I don't think the Browns will take Tannehill either, because Tannehill at 4 is a huge reach! The Fins can probably just pick him at 8 and get him some weapons with their 2nd and 2 3rds.

Tannehill would be there for them anyways... why trade up to get him

[BOTT]

even worse was his defense for taking running backs high in the draft....gotta change with the times bill...

I don't think Cousins, Weeden, or Osweiler are much worse than Tannehill, so I don't see many teams trading up when they could pick up one of the others in round 2. (maybe 3).

[gthatch15]

trading up wouldn't make sense. aside from the colts and redskins, the dolphins are the only team that will go qb in the 1st round because Weeden, Cousins, and Osweiler aren't good enough to be 1st rounders and Tannehill will fall to them for sure

[Colt-in-Jax]

What might cause a stir is if the Browns try to trade down with the Jags so the Jags can get a WR (Blackmon).That would leave the Fins as the only team to really consider him. But rumors are that the Seahawks and the Browns are looking as well as the Phins. So, what's the cost to move from #4 to #7? I'll bet it's a #2 and #5. But since that #2 is pretty high that's still a lot to pay for a kid that after the season was considered a 2ed or 3ed rounder.

[BlueStallion]

An ingenious trade proposal from the draft trading mastermind who, along with his brilliant son, gave up a 2nd round pick AND the following year's 1st rounder in order to move up to the top of the 2nd round and steal Tony Ugoh, an elite OT prospect who should never have slipped out of the 1st round. This is beyond irony. It's satire! BP may have been good at spotting late-round gems, but I'd take his draft trading ideas with a huge grain boulder of salt.

Trading picks top picks for a guy who needs a couple years to develop is just laughable. He's a big stretch at 8.

[The Peytonator]

If they do something like that, they deserve to suck for the next 10 years.

Glad we got rid of Crazy Bill if he thinks that trade makes sense.
