Aggie alumn here.
I don't see him as a top 10 pick. I do see him better than most in qbs in the 2011 draft, but I'm not sure how much that is saying.
Positives - lots of potential with only ~16 starts in him at this time. Basically he's a Jr. in college with regards to experience, so I do think that says a lot. Good pocket presence and very mobile. He does have a strong arm, and is accurate on short and intermediate passes. He throws well on the run. Intelligent.
Negatives - only ~16 starts. ha. He is terrible at the deep ball. He forces too many passes, but to me that was better than Stephen McGee who only threw when the receiver was very open. Not a leader, and lacks composure when things start going back. Not composure emotionally, but the ability to put it behind you, and immediately learn from that mistake. His mistakes came in spurts, and it was very difficult for him to stop it once it started.
Once again, because qbs are so valuable in real life football, the best after the first tier really get elevated up draft boards. To me, there isn't much quality after Tannehill, so that pushes him up.
As far as his stats last year. The Aggies led college in dropped balls I believe. Some of that is on him, but after watching every game, I'd say most of that is on his receivers.
