[quote=Mattyk;893549]True but I kinda doubt we would go with RT at #6 if we got Manning.

I think we'd go BPA at #6, and look for a QB to develop later on.[/quote]

If we did draft a tackle at 6, i would think it would be a left tackle. given williams is one smoke away from a 1 year suspension and has the ability to play both left and right, it might be prudent to move him to the right side, as itd be less impactful to replace a RT than a LT during the season due to injury.

That said, if we are stuck at 6, i think we'll take offensive BPA.

Re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

If we take a T, it's like Martin or Glenn (with Reiff a bit of a smaller possibility). Though I don't think any of them are taken at 6.

If we stay at 6 I believe it's Tannehill, Claiborne, Blackmon in that order of likelihood. With Floyd a dark horse

I wouldn't mind a trade down in this situation as well.

Whatever team RG3 goes to will have a Cam Newton type of effect. Ryan Tannehill not so much. I live in Charlotte and the excitement for the Panthers has never been this high. RG3 is a better prospect than Cam was and thanks to Andrew Luck coming out is within our reach. We need to make this happen.

With or without Manning?

I think it's debatable that RG3 is a better prospect than Cam was

That was my confusion too.

I'm tempted to say yes. That said, it would not surprise me at all if the Dolphins moved into the top 5 to get Tannehill if we can legitimately convince them we'd take Tannehill even with Manning

Re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

By the end of April we're going to have 2 new QBs. I'm 98% sure of that. Doesn't necessarily mean Rex is gone. Because if we sign Manning and draft say Kirk Cousins then Cousins would not be the back-up right away...even if we was taken high in the 2nd round. Even Tannehill might be not be the back-up from the get go.

I hope that we can take Tannehill at 6. My fear of a potential Manning signing is that we will then not go all-in on finding a QB of the future to groom. I think that someone like Cousins will be a career backup so a combo like Manning + Cousins (or other lower tier rookie) is problematic IMO.

Really? Cam was thought of as a 2nd rounder for so long but we can compare.

Passing Accuracy: RG3
Speed: RG3
Vertical Jump (Which means nothing to QBs): RG3
Arm Strength: Cam
Broad Jump (Again means nothing): Cam
Intangibles: RG3

If they were in the same draft I'm pretty sure RG3 would be drafted first.

And I'm 100% hoping one of them is RG3.

Re: Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)
 

Dream for me would be to get both manning and tannehill; I'd love that. I'm wondering if manning has put any stipulations on teams regarding whether or not they can draft a first round QB. Would seem logical, he wants more weapons and doesn't want to have to look over his shoulder...

Fair enough. Though I don't agree that Cam was thought of as a non-1st rounder for any longer than RG3 was
