NFL Power Rankings: Quarterbacks Post-NFL Draft
Andy Dalton still has A.J. Green, Brandon Lafell and Tyler Boyd out wide. He has a formidable backfield with Jeremy Hill, Gio Bernard and now Joe Mixon. However, he lost one of the primary reasons he stayed upright, offensive lineman Kevin Zeitler, to Cleveland in free agency. That is a big knock against him and will leave him under pressure more often. The weapons are there but the time to throw will not be. He’s ranked lower than he should be as a result.
After leading the Dolphins to a playoff berth last season, he injured his knee down the stretch of the regular season and was unable to play in the wild card round. Matt Moore took over and played well but they still fell to the Steelers. Tannehill will have a chance to pick up where he left off last season and maybe take the Dolphins past the first round. His three weapons, Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills, remain in South Beach. This team is ready to make a run on Tannehill’s back.
