Tim Tebow: Draft Watch (Arizona through Denver)

The most talked about, hyped, over-hyped, and fanatically worshiped player in College Football history is going pro after four (see above) seasons as a Florida Gator. He is the most emotional player ever to come out of college and is the best leader. The question is his very controversial delivery. People are locked in eternal combat about whether the right coach and a strong work ethic can develop this superstar kid into a pro QB. There are 32 teams waiting to see what this kid can do at Florida's pro day on Wednesday and 32 teams considering drafting this piece of work. I believe he can and will succeed in the NFL only because Superman can't fail and the NFL wont be his Kryptonite. So let's take a delve into the draft possibilities for Tim Tebow, all 32 teams. (In three periods Arizona through Denver, Detroit through NYJ, and Oakland through Washington)

Arizona Cardinals - Draft Probability: High

I will use three levels of probability: Low, Medium and High. With merely a single QB under contract, this perennial playoff team needs a play-maker to get the ball to Larry Fitzgerald. Matt Leinart isn't wowing me or any other Cards fans. I would draft a QB (maybe Tebow), start Leinart, and if he struggles, give the Rookie a chance to shine. I think if Tebow's passes get released, Fitzgerald is gonna reel them in. That isn't an issue. So yeah, the first team has a High draft probability only because they really need a QB, and Tebow fits into their run the ball or heave it up to L-Fitz style.

Atlanta Falcons - Draft Probability: Low

The Falcons are set with Matt Ryan at QB and don't look ready to change. The team has relied on the inconsistent talent of Michael Turner to run for them, and their defense has been a real concern for this team. Expect a receiver for Ryan to throw to but not another QB, even Tebow. With a backup of John Parker Wilson, they might consider a QB, but it isn't likely, and it won't be Tebow.

Baltimore Ravens - Draft Probability: Low

Another team set with its young stud QB. Joe Flacco and newly acquired receiver Anquan Boldin will mesh and will help that awesome defense make Baltimore a real SB contender. Flacco is all they have at QB; however, expect them to make moves in Free Agency and/or late rounds of the draft to fill up the roster. Someone like Jonathan Crompton of Tennessee is a better fit for their style. Tebow wont work in Baltimore because the team is truly not looking for a developmental QB.

Buffalo Bills - Draft Probability: High

More like Very High. This team has expressed serious interest in the Florida Gun-Slinger and is currently relying on Brainiac (Harvard-Grad) Ryan Fitzpatrick and washed-up Trent Edwards as their QBs. Neither have flourished as expected, and while Buffalo won't jump at Tebow in round one, a second round pick might not surprise anyone. Tebow will run well for a decent O-Line and hopefully get enough time to throw the ball, but a good question would be to who? With T.O. gone, their best WR option is Lee Evans!

Carolina Panthers - Draft Probability: Medium

I am not sold on Matt Moore, and neither is Carolina. But for now that's all they've got. A QB in the draft wouldn't shock me, but Tim Tebow would. He is too high profile for the mini-market Panthers who are a fly-by-night, sneak up on you kind of team and have relied on the running game for quite some time. With DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart as two great backs, the QB position is less of a worry for Carolina.

Chicago Bears - Draft Probability: Medium

With a superbly inconsistent Jay Cutler at QB for the Bears, picking one up in the draft is a nice thought. I doubt it will be Tebow, but hey, the Bears have had moderate success with Gator QBs in the past (Rex Grossman and Shane Matthews) They have no backup other than Caleb Hanie (who?), but they also have to pick up a reasonable starter. Cutler should be riding the pine (its baseball season) along with the other Bears QBs.

Cincinnati Bengals - Draft Probability: Low

It's not looking likely that the Bengals will pick up Timmy T. Carson Palmer was fantastic last year, and they will hope he continues down that path. Chad Ochocinco is the team's best wideout and catches all of Palmer's passes. Even though the Bengals do not have much of a backup, if they were to obtain a QB, it would be either in Free Agency or in the late rounds of the draft.

Cleveland Browns - Draft Probability: Medium

With the recent trade of Brady Quinn, this was almost rocketed to a High probability, but it wasn't based on the fact that the Browns have a high first round pick and can probably obtain Sam Bradford or Jimmy Clausen early on. If they don't make a jump at one of the Elite Draft QBs, then they will rely on either free agency or maybe Tim Tebow/Colt McCoy. With a lack of talent at receiver and QB, this team has a long way to go. Tebow needs to work behind a solid veteran, and Seneca Wallace just doesn't provide the same spark to Tebow that a Peyton Manning or Drew Brees would.

Dallas Cowboys - Draft Probability: Low

If only very low was a choice. Tebow will not end up a Cowboy for three simple reasons: 1. Tony Romo is their QB, and they are happy. 2. Kitna and McGee provide fine backup talent. 3. Romo's QB style isn't picture perfect and really won't help out Tebow to progress in the future. Miles Austin and Jason Witten are great targets for any young QB, but when you have Romo, what's the point of drafting such young, unproven talent? So America's Player wont be joining America's team.

Denver Broncos - Draft Probability: Low

Another Very Low on the probability scale. With newly acquired QB Brady Quinn and failed experiment Kyle Orton competing for the QB spot, an undeveloped rookie acquisition is highly unlikely. Tebow shouldn't be playing behind these guys either. This Broncos team has relied mostly on its smothering defense and the ability to run the ball. The team also likes the "throw it up to Brandon Marshall who is tall" method. No Tebow in Denver, and rightfully so.
