The #Tweetbag: Pre-NFL Draft Edition

Welcome to the Tweetbag!

Each week, I answer your questions sent by Twitter, email or in the comments section of the articles. Be sure to use the hashtag #tweetbag.

Q:

A: Fans love it when their team trades back, but the further you go from the top of the draft, the harder it is to find elite talent.

The Texans are in good shape in this draft because there is a bevy of talented receivers right in their wheel-house. Whether it's Wright, Fleener, or Hill, the Texans have a chance to get a difference maker with the 26th pick. That's very rare.

I think this is the perfect year to use the pick and take a player who could push them over the top in the AFC South.

Q:

A: I love the idea of the Jaguars taking a defensive end assuming that they could get Sanu in the second round. The problem is that if there's a run on receivers at the end of the first, Sanu might not get past Indianapolis at 34.

I believe in taking the "best player available," and if the Jags are convinced that Melvin Ingram is that man, then fine. They won't become a winning team without a passing game, however, so if they want to roll the dice on Sanu, they have to be sure they get him.

If they think he might not last, they may have to trade back up into the late first round to get a receiver. They cannot get out of the first two rounds without helping the passing game.

Q:

A: Zbikowski has never been a starter and Bethea is sneaking up in age. Safeties tend to be done by age 30, so you can't assume he'll be viable deep into the rebuild.

Safety is a premium defensive position, and I still believe the Colts need to upgrade.

Maybe Zbikowski becomes a regular, but at this point there's no evidence that he's anything more than a very good special teams upgrade.

Q:

A: I don't see a lot of similarities between the two. Locker really struggled to complete passes his final year in school, but there was a much wider body of work to judge him on.

Tannehill has just 19 career starts, and he's going to turn 29 this year. (My apologies. I recently read an article comparing Tannehill and Brandon Weeden and slightly confused the two at this point. However, my point still stands that Tannehill's 19 starts are a big worry for any team considering drafting him) 

I frankly don't see why anyone would risk a first round pick on that resume.

They'll go in roughly the same spot in the draft, but that says as much about the desperation of Miami as the skill of Tannehill.
