A Look at the 2016 NFL Draft

2016 NFL Draft

 

So many possibilities exist, because despite all the prognostications, no one really knows how things are going to shake out on draft day, which incidentally, is only 1 week away!  7 days folks, and ALL the First-Pick and Fanspeak mock drafts will disappear, at least for a few months until we start them all over again.  We’re hardcore fans, we can’t help it!

What I’m going to do is give you all a look at how our draft appears to be shaping up and who seems to be popping up the most for us at #13 .  I could go further, as 7 RD mock drafts are more commonplace, especially this late in the game, but I think it gets silly to try and determine all 7 RD’s, so we’ll just look at the 1st RD.

With the 13th pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select . . .

I’ll start with NFL.com  . . .

_________________

According to all the mock drafts I have listed above, this is how it all stacks up.

It’s pretty obvious that most of the people who put in some time think we’re drafting a CB.  Although the vote is somewhat split among 3 players, Eli Apple, William Jackson III and Vernon Hargreaves III or Mackensie Alexander, the majority of selections were us taking a CB.  The winner, by just 1, and of course, there are literally thousands of mocks, which kind of made this exercise futile, but, I did it so, the winner is . . .

Ohio State CB  – Eli Apple 6’1″ 199

Wait!!!!  What’s this????  It’s a TIE????  Yes, it’s a tie!!!!   After tabulating all the selections, it seems as if we have a tie between Ohio St. CB Eli Apple and Ohio St. RB Ezekiel Elliott!

Ohio State RB  – Ezekiel Elliott 6’0″ 225

NCAA FOOTBALL: OCT 10 Maryland at Ohio State

Ohio State CB – Eli Apple

NCAA Football: National Championship-Ohio State vs Oregon

Ohio State RB – Ezekiel Elliott

LB Darron Lee, CB William Jackson III and DE Shaq Lawson get honorable mention falling just one shy with 4 selections.

I can’t believe the draft is just a week away people.  The draft is something I always look forward to, and yet somehow,  get disappointed how it turns out.  Let’s hope we get what we need, and give our new Head Coach Adam Gase the right tools to work with.  No question we’re short on CB’s, so there is little doubt we will be selecting one early, if not necessarily 1st.  I think we might take two CB’s, but we’ll see how it turns out.

Are we done tinkering with the O-line? Do we have our starting OG’s in house?  I don’t think so, so I expect at least one early pick on an OL, maybe an OG, or an OT who will be moving to OG.  We need a youth infusion at DE as well, so I won’t be shocked if we go DE early either.  I feel like we need a solid LB, but we did trade for Alonso, and Jenkins should round back into form, which leaves Misi.  We know what Misi can give us, but I want better.  We also have to hope Alonso can regain his rookie form, when he was a dominant player.  I’m leery counting on him, but it seems like the team isn’t.

We have 8 total picks at the moment . . .

#13, #42, #73, 107, #147, #186, #227 and #231.  Do we finish the draft with 8 picks, or less, or maybe more?  Tune in next Thursday, and find out.

      The same to you. I’ll be heading down the shore with my daughter tomorrow for the holiday. My wife left last night to go see her Dad who’s in the hospital. Sadly he won’t be able to join us for the holiday, but we’ll all go to see him.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        That’s nice that you guys will at least see him. Sad that he can’t do it out of the hospital.

        maybe you can get him a phone that allows you to see him while talking. It’s so cool that you make it a point to see him.

    We must visit our elderly & the sick in hospitals. A year or so ago, i began helping our pastor as assistant chaplain, to go visit those in hospitals, hospice, & nursing homes.
    It means soooo much to them to know someone out there cares. To see a face they may know besides doctors & nurses all day. Someone that will talk to them, listen to them, pray for or with them, as well as just sit there and keep them company by watching a tv show together or listening to some soft soothing music.
    It does both their heart & mine just as much good.

    jetssuck, my father-in-law isn’t one for many visitors except for close family. So he wouldn’t want everyone looking at him in a hospital bed via video. Though we do have that technology via FaceTime.

  7. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Guys, please don’t heap praise on me. I don’t go near as often as I should, or as often as the sick people really need. I need to be better at it. We all have to do our part for our fellow man & do it with a humble heart not expecting any reward. It has to come from the heart.

    Many times, I just think of how one day that will probably me laying there, alone, afraid, hurting. It’s nice to have some human contact that makes that time more comforting.
    It’s actually a form of tithing too. It’s not always about throwing money in a plate. You can tithe by giving your time, or old clothes, or food for people in your communities. They don’t have to be sick in a hospital bed.

    This summer, go mow a elderly, sick person, or single mother’s lawn without charging them. Fix their fence, wash their car, trim their tree or hedges, drop off water or ice for them, etc.
    There are many cool ways to help someone that can mean the world of difference to them.

  9. The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

    I call this draft “Pass Defense first”
    I like Alexander a lot and I took him over Apple and Jackson and they both went off the board right after we picked. So there were 3 CBs in a row
    I think we might take a CB at 13

    Do we need a safety? We should at least acquire one to groom
    Cash can be a great safety in this league IMO

    Then I looked up in the 3rd round and the 2nd best pass defending LB was on the board
    After that I still managed to nab the RB I wanted and I have a couple of bodies on OL who can compete for jobs

    13: R1P13
    CB MACKENSIE ALEXANDER
    CLEMSON
    42: R2P11
    S JEREMY CASH
    DUKE
    73: R3P10
    OLB SU’A CRAVENS
    USC
    107: R4P9
    RB KENNETH DIXON
    LOUISIANA TECH
    147: R5P8
    G DENVER KIRKLAND
    ARKANSAS
    186: R6P11
    ILB BLAKE MARTINEZ
    STANFORD
    227: R7P6
    C MIKE MATTHEWS
    TEXAS A&M
    231: R7P10

  16. getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

    Gase has said the same as Tbomb is now saying. We’re not 1 player away off of a 6-10 season. So passing on Norman’s search for huge money is keeping with this offseason strategy & not deviating from a solid plan that you laid out. That is what got us in trouble in the past.
    Some years, yes you go big with contracts, then the next year, you should be sound & reel it in.

    From PFF’s grades of last years draft

    14. DeVante Parker, WR, Miami Dolphins

    Draft Grade: B-

    A late-season surge showed Parker’s potential as he became a downfield weapon for the Dolphins. He brings a little wiggle to his route running for a big receiver while showing the ability to make plays in contested situations. If Parker continues to progress, he’ll be a home-run pick for the Dolphins.

    Grier on if he is nervous about the upcoming draft:
    Yeah, actually I am nervous as shit. I’m not really sure what i’m doing and am just trying to fake it through this draft.

    Grier on what he thinks for our current roster:
    Man they all suck. We need upgrades at every position. It puts me in a real bad spot, because you can’t really tell who is going to be a good NFL player and who is not. It’s always a crap shoot. All I do know is what we have at every position isn’t good enough we were a 6-10 team last year and with this year’s schedule I don’t think we can even get to that.

    • Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

      • The Flying Pig's avatar The Flying Pig says:

        1 draft can really change a team

        But it worst best when the draft is geared to address one issue

        Here’s an example
        In 2012 the Panthers had a horrible run defense
        They used the 2012 1st rounder on Keuchly, who eventually blossom and help the run defense but in 2013, they selected Star Lotulelei int he 1st and Kawann Short in the 2nd round. Now those are their two starting DTs.

        Carolina went from 14 rush defense in 2012 to #2 in 2013
        In their super bowl run last year they finished the season #4 in rush defense
        Its been an unheralded part of their postseason success

    Unfortunately, the Dolphins don’t play in those divisions (easier).

    William Jackson III, Houston
    Around the NFL, Jackson is a love/hate prospect. Teams expect him to go in the late first or early second round, but there are teams that don’t like him at all. One general manager of a playoff team that has been very good at scouting and developing cornerbacks said they had a fifth-round grade on Jackson prior to the combine. Another team picking high that is in the market for cornerback help said they have Jackson as a late second-rounder. Still, after his ball-skills production and great combine workout, Jackson has a great shot of going in the first round.

    As a player, I see some flaws that could lead to Jackson being a bust. For starters, he is an undisciplined corner. He is a gambler who goes for interceptions, so double moves and a lack of eye discipline could lead to him getting burnt in the NFL. Jackson also is a little stiff, which makes his off-man coverage shaky as well. I think of the corners who could go in the first round, Jackson has the most bust potential.

    Thanks Al. I also notice my crush Ogbah up there with a hundred more snaps than Bosa.
    I wouldn’t get mad if Ogbah was our pick @ #13. He could have a 10yr career easily. He’s 22yo & still learning the position. Has no quit in him it seems. Them nigerian boys usually are tenacious on defense.

    “The Miami Dolphins allowed exactly 4,000 net yards passing last year, the highest total in their 50 seasons and a big reason they lost 10 games.

    Against the run they ranked even worse, 28th in the NFL compared with 21st against the pass. So it’s reasonable to assume the Dolphins will devote their first-round draft pick to defense.”

    That’s the start of an AP story on the draft. Gotta be realistic.

      We have to see if they last to the third but I do think at least 1 of them will

      • getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

        I like Dixon, but see him as a 2nd, I like Collins if he didn’t fumble so much, but I’m starting to think he’s too much of an Ajayi type (not that its a bad thing).
        Booker I definitely don’t want, he’s still rehabbing a torn meniscus…so I’ll pass.

    I don’t want the Dolphins to pick Hargreaves III because his name wont fit on his jersey…….

  57. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    GDP, I don’t watch ANY college ball so I only learn about these guys before the draft and I’ve only seen him listed as an OLB, so I guess the NFL project him as a stand up guy? IDK

    GDP you are right about Yannick

    I was just looking for a LB when I drafted him
    the pickings were slim
    I actually don’t like my draft after round 3
    but rounds 1-3 were excellent

    • getterdone's avatar getterdone says:

      Thanks, he’ll probably be best suited for a 3-4 OLB, but Maryland used him mostly with his hand in the dirt coming off the edge.
      The guy I really like from Maryland is Sean Davis the S/CB. Kid has speed & pop!

    This is from PFF’s Miami Dolphins Draft board. Can anyone tell me wtf it means?

    “While Elliott is very unlikely to unavailable at this point,”

    he is unlikely to unavailable? WTF? He is unlikely to be available? He likely will not be available?
    with the double negative they wrote he IS likely to be available?

  62. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Chris Jones, DI, Mississippi State

    The Dolphins were highly vulnerable in run defense last season and much of that can be attributed to the poor play of Earl Mitchell. Jones would provide the team with a highly-successful, run-stuffing option to pair alongside Ndamukong Suh. Areas of his game are unrefined, but he instantly improves this defense.

    What position is a DI?

  63. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    William Jackson III, CB, Houston

    Cornerback is another area Miami will most definitely need to address. Should Vernon Hargreaves III be available, he would also be in play. While Jackson will need time to adjust to the Dolphins’ zone coverage scheme, he could be the most complete cornerback in the draft.

    Will Miami be playing a zone coverage scheme this year? I thought they were going with more of a press man scheme this year? Or is that just wind being blown by guys on here?

  64. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    after reading the article I don’t like PFF’s “Bid board” for us AT ALL!

    GDP, if you are unlikely to be unavailable it means you are likely to be available.

      Btw, I guess when they put DI, it’s supposed to stand for Defensive Interior instead of Defensive End….very stupid, when everyone says DT or DE for centuries….lol

    Chris Jones is someone i have brought up fromt ime to time through this draft process. He is a great player, very dominant, Suh like to be honest, and he can play most techniques on the DL and line up as DE, but he has some off field issues. He’s there for day 1 of the draft, so again, someone thinks they might be taking him day 1.

    Ha, like right on cue. I was talking up my desire to draft Burns in the 2nd.

    Miami CB Artie Burns visited the Bucs in one of the team’s 30 official pre-draft slots.
    Tampa Bay finds itself in an interesting spot. It needs big help at both cornerback and safety but probably won’t find a value fit at either position in the No. 9 slot unless the organization is high on Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves. If they bypass a defensive back at 9 (to take an OT, for instance), a prospect like Burns may hold interest in Round 2 (39).

    ——–
    Most of the time he’s rushing in but he looks way more mobile as a OLB than some of the tweeners I’ve seen or even a guy like Leonard Floyd.

    I think many have him as a 3-4 jack LB but others might see him as a rotational DE that may develop some size to be a full time DE. He’s the same height as OV and about 8 lbs lighter (draft day variables comparison).
