2013 Statistics: 3,913 yards passing, 60.4 CMP %, 24 TDs, 17 INTs, 45.8 QBR (100-pt scale)
The four listed earlier were the headliners from the 2012 draft class, but there were two other quarterbacks drafted in 2012: Nick Foles and Ryan Tannehill.
Tannehill has prototypical size (6′ 4″ 220 lbs) and great arm strength, but has to improve his accuracy. He has Mike Wallace, one of the fastest wideouts in the NFL, and overthrew/underthrew him on plenty of occasions. Just look at these clips:
Tannehill still has loads of upside with his arm strength and size, and with Lamar Miller in the backfield and Brian Hartline and Mike Wallace to throw to, this year may be the year for Tannehill to validate the eighth overall pick the Dolphins spent to get him.
