Tannenhill shines at pro day, is now a concensus top 5 pick?

Stay connected for news and updates

Let the intrigue of the #3 spot begin. Tannenhill had his pro day yesterday and put up a "Franchise" level display.

From Mayock "Athletically, he passes all the tests," Mike Mayock of the NFL Network said of Tannehill. "More importantly, they moved to the throwing portion. Nine spot throws, then 50 throws in the field, and nine red-zone throws. My take was, it was a high-level workout. It was a franchise-type workout. Three-step drop, five, five with a hitch, seven ... every throw an NFL quarterback has to make -- both statutory and on the move. From an accuracy perspective, here's my take after watching every throw this kid made on tape all year. All the out-breaking routes were beautiful -- the kid can make every throw outside ... but they're the easier throws to make. Single-high safety, one-on-one coverage, you can trust it and rip it. Where he struggles on tape are on the in-breaking throws, and let's face it -- there's a lot more traffic on the inside. I never thought he trusted it, and that's where I thought he got in trouble, staring down receivers."

The article talks about how much the browns (specifically Childress) like him at #4. Does this mean that the Fins, Seahawks, etc... now need to move up to #3 to nab the #3 QB in the draft?
