In reading this I question the negative marks that Tebow got. Isn't these things coachable? I'll let those that know more than I respond to that question.
What he brings: This is a stretch. Tebow is a long way from developing into a functional NFL quarterback, and he might never become that. We have concerns about his footwork and elongated delivery, and his struggles at the Senior Bowl only magnified those issues. He has re-worked his delivery, but has only had a few weeks to make those changes. However, he brings intangibles that set him apart from almost any other player in this draft, and if he doesn't work out as a quarterback he showed at the combine that he has enough athleticism, determination and toughness to become an H-back and work as a signal-caller in short-yardage and Wildcat situations. Still, this was a surprising pick.
How he fits: Tebow won't be asked to start right away with Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn already on the depth chart. What Tebow will bring is intensity, passion for football and leadership. His willingness to improve and uncanny intangibles are qualities that coach Josh McDaniels does demand. Tebow has his work cut out for him in terms of mechanics, but he will be worked into the offense slowly. Time will have to tell on this pick.
