Ryan Tannehill Draft Profile
Perhaps the biggest benefactor in Tannehill’s rise up the mock-draft database is the NFL’s new rookie wage-scale. As we saw last year with the surprising selections of Jake Locker and Christian Ponder, clubs will not be a afraid to take a first round chance on a potential quarterback of the future. With the wage-scale, the penalty isn’t nearly as severe or expensive if a team swings and misses on a prospective signal-caller.
Stephen Hill NFL Draft Profile
Stephen Hill hopes to follow in the footsteps of another huge receiving-threat out of Georgia Tech, Calvin Johnson. Though Hill is still a bit raw and will need time to develop, he has the speed and frame to be an outstanding jump-ball and red-zone target.
Tim Tebow UFL Star Or NFL Backup?
Tim Tebow UFL Star Or NFL Backup? It’s a fair question. And quite honestly, based on Tim Tebow’s decision to return for his senior season at Florida, one that actually warrants a careful response.

The 6’2 240 lbs running back had first round draft pick written all over him, but with one punch his career could be in jeopardy. Without this monster RB the Oregon Ducks will no doubt suffer, Blount was a focal point for the team’s offense. The Ducks…
NFL Draft-Day One Winners & Losers
NFL Draft-Day One Winners Winners Jaguars- Two instant starters with OT’s E. Monroe & E. Britton. Patience is a virtue, and the Jags let these two great offensive big men fall to them, nice work.
