With teams beginning to be eliminated from playoff contention, it’s time to start looking forward to the off season. We’re having a pow-wow soon to decide what special features we’ll be hooking up this year, but for now, let’s start with this little tidbit from Pro Football Talk:
NBC’s Peter King reported during Football Night in America that he has spoken to 17 coaches and personnel executives over the past month, and that he has asked for predictions as to the precise spot at which Florida quarterback Tim Tebow will be drafted.
The average draft position? 33rd overall.
But King added that two coaches of “winning teams” said Tebow won’t get past their selections in round one.
Mike Florio goes on to mention his guesses of Jacksonville and Minnesota as the two teams. Jacksonville has been linked to Tebow purely for name value. They can’t seem to sell seats in northern Florida, and there is no bigger name down in college football country than Tebow.
As for Minnesota, I just can’t see it. Assume that we get one more year of Brett Favre just having fun out there, they still have an incredibly young, raw passer on the bench in Tavaris Jackson. To add another project in Tebow, that wouldn’t really make a whole lot of sense.
My guess? Someone wants to use him at another position. Where? I have no idea.
