We could have moved up to 6 with a third rounder, most likely...but **** it, lets say we would have had to throw in our second rounder and got change back from the Rams...WHO CARES?
We had 2 interviews (1 at the combine and 1 personal interview) and 2 workouts with the kid...that to go along with plenty of tape of him and WE PASSED ON THE CHANCE TO TAKE HIM.
That kid is making Thanksgiving Dinner with all the trimmings out of chicken shit.
If I were the GM, I would have made every attempt to sign Orton (after trying to trade Cassel and if I couldn't get a ham sandwich, Id cut him) and made every attempt to move up to take Tannehill.
This training camp would have been a completely open competition for the starting spot.
