Dolphins select QB Ryan Tannehill at No. 8

The Miami Dolphins need a quarterback. They took one with the eighth pick in Thursday's draft. They most likely reached for him, but again, the Dolphins needed a quarterback. Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill is their man now. He has landed on a team with some familiarity to him since Miami's offensive coordinator, Mike Sherman, was Tannehill's college coach.

Fantasy Analysis:

He's athletic and has drawn comparisons to Jake Locker, for whatever that's worth. But Tannehill isn't seen by many as ready to step in right away and have a bunch of success. If he's not deemed ready by September, Matt Moore @mattmoore_8 could be begin the season as Miami's starting QB and keep the seat warm. Regardless of who is under center, I'm not a fan of any QB here since the Dolphins still have a huge void at wide receiver, especially with the news that Devone Bess had a torn ACL to go along with the previously known torn MCL. This is still going to be a bad team in 2012.
