The Sports Guy says 24 to Jags
24. Jacksonville (via fake trade)
Tim Tebow, QB
And … it's time. I've never been a big "gotta take the local hero" guy. You know what sells tickets? Winning. But Tim Tebow isn't just a local hero. He's a local demigod. He's the most popular person in Florida. He would immediately transform the Jaguars from "The team that's probably moving" to "Florida's official pro football team." This has to be the move for them. It's just smart business. I mean … have you been to Jacksonville? Not a lot going on. To say the least. If the Tebow thing worked out, that saves the franchise and legitimizes the (not so fun to visit, believe me, I spent a week there once) city of Jacksonville.
In the St. Louis/Bradford section, I wrote that it's "just as likely that Bradford will murder the Rams as save them." Same goes for Tebow in Jacksonville. But here's the big difference: You're picking him 24th instead of first. Give me home run odds on a $500 craps bet (like Bradford) and I'm nervous. Give me home run odds on a $20 craps bet (like Tebow) and I'm giddy. Tim Tebow should be a Jacksonville Jaguar. Just not at No. 10. Because that would be dumb.
Zooming through the last eight picks because I'm throwing crap against the wall at this point …

Tim Tebow is the most interesting draft pick in a long time.
There are some who think it's just plain crazy to think he isn't going to be great in the NFL.
And there are others who think he is a long shot even though he has been the best football player for the last 4 years in college. He dominated college ball and should have no problem doing the same in the NFL. The dude can play football. Flatout!
Funny thing is nobody is giving the Rams anything for the #1 overall draft pick. Nobody really wants to risk a overall #1 on Bradford and I think the Rams are not wanting to draft Bradford either.
What a risk!
I say draft Suh and get the next best QB with the 2nd pick. You will have just as good of a chance at winning with whoever is left in the 2nd. McCoy? Tebow?
Will Tebow even be there?

Kiper the coke addict is the idiot who tried telling everyone last year that Tebow wasn't going to higher than a 6th round draft pick. He started this non-sense that Tebow isn't an NFL QB and it looks like he will eat shit again.
Kiper shoved Jamarcus Russell down everyones throat too!
No one listens to this coke addict any more except ESPN fanatics.
Put it in perspective
Pennington
Jackson
Campbell
Smith
Leinhart
Quinn
Cutler
Stafford
ect.
on
and
on
How/why would any of you think Tebow couldnt be better than anyone of them?
Hell NONE of them could even be 1/2 as good as Tebow was in College and now these clown QB's are better? What made them better?
People are funny.
Puffery is alive and well and facts sure seem to suck these days.
