The #Dolphins and the #Browns exchanged 7th round picks while sending Jamar Taylor for a fresh start in Cleveland
Good for both teams. And Jamar, who really needs to just start over.
Thanks for nothing Ireland. Man he fucked that draft up bad for us.
WHAT ?
in one of those clips, Lippett scores a TD on Lucas.
Ravens just took Canady, now that’s a CB @ 6’1 193 that I probably would have took over Jordan Lucas.
PSU baby!!!! Jordan Lucas can make some plays.
2nd round pick garners a 7th round swap…. not even their 7th round pick straight up. damn, that’s harsh.
We gave up Jamar Taylor for a 7th round swap?
Lucas got overwhelmed by the Mich State TE blocking him, but if a TE CAN’T block a CB on a run, then that is a sorry-ass TE.
After this draft and FA, the writing was on the wall for Jamar who sucked his whole time in Miami.
Chris Perkins ✔ @chrisperk
#Dolphins trade 250th pick (7th round) and CB Jamar Taylor for Cleveland’s 223rd pick (7th round).
Hal Habib @gunnerhal
Bottom line: Jamar Taylor’s value was 27 slots in Round 7.
We were lucky to get that.
Jordan Lucas
Strengths Team captain and three-year starter. Played cornerback two years before moving to safety this year. Praised for his character and leadership. Doesn’t need much runway to hit his burst gear to close. Plays with smooth feet and change of direction for the safety spot. Takes smart angles to the ball and rarely runs himself out of a play. Lined up over slots in sub-packages.
Weaknesses Has short arms
Tim,
Here’s my point :
We traded down a mere four spots to get in front of three teams, two of which nabbed a CB in the first round and one of those inked a FA CB to a huge deal this offseason, in exchange for a fourth rounder, which caused us to:
trade a 3rd and a 4th next year for this years 3rd and 6th.
We traded a 5th round pick to the kings of our division for two 6ths and a seventh. They in turn traded it for a fourth.Even though we are stockpiling picks in the 6th and 7th rounds, we are not getting good value for them.
That’s been my point all along as well. There is a difference between picking good players and picking good players at the right spot. Wasting picks just isn’t smart. There is no value in waste.
I agree a 100%
Okay, I don’t view it that way. Future trades you always take the hit, it’s always been that way. You drop a grade. It’s how you approach an offseason to retool your team for your new HC and staff. The personnel we acquire is more important to me than the picks. If that doesn’t pan out you lose.
Leaving Jelani Jenkins, Dion Sims and possibly Dion Jordan from a draft that was only 3 years ago.
A draft with 5 picks in the top 85….SMH!
Yup, he blew it badly
‘Weaknesses Has short arms’
so you are saying he is a decent football player but cant masturbate worth a damn.
er not the image i really wanted to take from the draft Rob.
pls resend some NLCheerleader thoughts immediately
OK, just got caught up with day 3. For a while I was wondering if we were actually going to make a pick today. With that said, both round 6 picks seem like solid choices.
I just hope they are right about our front 7 on defense. If not, we might need to score 30+ points a game just for a chance to win.
Okay, we’re totally churning our secondary. Good luck Taylor.
Lippett and McCain are absolutely in the mix in sub packages. We’re getting bigger overall.
Can you feel it getting bigger Tim?
Ghey
This coming from the men in tights queen….lol
Time for a clean slate anyways. Our old secondary couldn’t get it done.
tru dat
Howard’s job to lose now unless Lippett makes big strides
LOL at that pun
F’kin NE just took my lil man crush @ MLB Elandon Roberts….crap, that’s a good pick. Hope he blows out his groin.
He’s autosexual? Is this the next frontier for the NFL after Michael Sam?
One thing you have to keep in mind is that NFL teams actual boards are going to look a lot different than Kiper’s or CBS or any outsider so what we perceive a player to be may be completely different for a team. We say 7th while they might say 5th. You are what your draft spot says you are.
Absolutely and we see evidence of that every year. LOL
McCain is the shorter quick twitch slot corner for us. I think Thomas is also going to play more nickel slot than safety, he’s better in that role.
GD, you and others think about the men in tights more than I do. I think I may have opened all your closets. LOL
Yeah they did, how dare you keep them in your closet all these years.
Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz · 21s22 seconds ago
Dolphins getting 2 confident WRs. Carroo says he’s a “much faster Anquan Boldin.” J. Grant says: “I definitely will be the return guy.”
Well Terrence Fede will actually be the returner as he’ll hide Grant in his back pocket
Who the hell will find Grant in a crowd, Whoop, there he goes….boogity boogity, they call him the streak….fastest thing on two feet…..boogity boogity
Seahawks just drafted Mike Hunt…bet his phone was ringing off the hook.
Mike Hunt we have a call for Mike Hunt
LOL
Aziz Shittu still out there?
Not much left of my big board now except for the 2 RBs Johnson from Marshal and Carson from Texas A&M. And maybe the ND WR Chris Brown.(??)

Steelers take LB Travis Freeny
NE takes OG Ted Karras
Dolphins on the clock.
oh yeah I did have Mills and Cash as 6th-7th rnders, but I had Wright as a 5th round guy. All still out there. And i had Charone Peake WR as a 4th rounder. Blew that one as a Clemson homer.
WOW
I like that pick, sure you do too GD
Yes, the Davie Fla QB…wooo….Bye Bye Matt Moore. This kid will be good.
Oh no, a QB!!!
wow, I know nothing but I didn’t expect that.
Look out Tannehill
Doughty is here…
New Dolphin Doughty’s 111 TD passes 15th all time in FBS, at Western Kentucky.
Doughty threw for 49 TDs one yr and 48 the next, but he has a long neck.
Herd, I’ve been touting a later round QB for months, especially before Moore resigned.
Brandon Doughty could be a steal after a few years of grooming.
6’3 218 Back-to-back Conference USA MVP in 2014-15. Rhythm passer. He turned heads with a good throwing session at the combine.
QB Brandon Doughty, from Davie, threw 49 TDs, 10 picks in 2014 and 48 TDs, nine picks in 2015.
Yes, I’m aware of him being in CUSA and ruining the Herd’s perfect season in 2014.
Looks like there are going to be a ton of priority UDFAs. I’d be all on Peake as a UDFA invite.
For me a late round QB selection has always bounced between doughty and driskell
Yes, for me too and the other Brandon, Allen who went a lil earlier to the Jags.
Good job GD you were calling for him waaay back in Jan
We have 1 more pick left
231
Anyone think it’s a LB?
😱
Scooby would be a value pick here.
Doughty is a good pick
So his football style is much the same as a lot if people’s birth control method? Hope he isn’t as ineffective
He’s got to be better than that stiff Philbin trotted out all last pre season, I can’t even remember his name I purged it from my memory.
No wait – Lobatomy
Thanks Son, can you imagine how excited he & his family are….he grew up in Davie….great stuff.
I might have to join the Tannyhater club now….lol
LOL.
That’s pretty awesome
2 more I think. One really late 7th rounder too piggy
Not according to this
I think we traded a 7th to get that little WR
http://m.espn.go.com/nfl/draft?year=2016&grouping=rounds&round=7
I think we traded that one with Jamar?
Piggy, yeah I hope our last pick is either Tyler Matakevich, Scooby Doo, or Blake Martinez.
Cox Ucker
All signs point to we feel Hewitt and Vigil are legit. Alonso, Jenkins, Misi and them. Alonso replaces Sheppard. Paysinger may hang on for STs and a backup role. Maybe Hull too.
Our DL is going to be asked to blow up blocking assignments and let the LBs clean up. All five have good instincts. They need to stay healthy.

Good stuff Herd, better he’s on your team now. 🙂
I’m still holding out hope they get Devon Johnson as an UDFA. You know how I am about wanting a Herd player…..
We’re up. Oh my!!! LOL
NM we gave up that late one this is it for us
Commercial
Of course
A TE….
😤
Figures, they really liked that kid. Maybe Scooby as UDFA
LOL, no front 7 guy.
Wasn’t someone really high on this guy?
Yes, and they posted a video here, another receiver that’s a matchup nightmare. Tiny, Caroo, and now Duarte. should be fun
Scooby, Matakevich and Cash real threats to go Undrafted now
This part of the draft is probably one of the most exciting parts, who do we get as udfs. I’d for sure bring in vadal alexander, wright, Peake and McAllister
Possibly a FB/H-back.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/thomas-duarte?id=2555483
http://draftbreakdown.com/video/thomas-duarte-vs-cal-2015-2/
Lol, at the 2:51 mark Duarte catches a TD pass and they show a guy in the stands with a Dolphins poncho.
Well I will get to root for Ifo this year
Duarte definitely a FB lead blocker in my opinion Tim. 6’2 231.
Not sure I like that pick….Isn’t TE Tyler Higbee Brandon Doughty’s go to guy still on the board?
Duarte is half Japanese and half Mexican but he is also a tweener in size and speed.
Jalen Mills to the Eagles.
Mills finally goes. WTF do I not know about him?
Little head loves Duarte
There goes Alexander and Mills
Our UDFA list is shrinking….lol
DE Stephan Weatherly could be a good pick by the Vikings….big SEC pass rusher 6’4 267
This draft was basically a love letter to Tannehill
LOL, with Doughy anthrax powder in the envelope.
No excuses now
yup. But the FA period belonged to defense.
I think Gase made a lot of these picks. Looks like we’ll be running the run and shoot.
yeah
I feel like they are trying to build and offense to score 40 points
Then hire Spurrier to be your QB coach
Tim,
I don’t think that the coaching staff is satisfied with the current LB crew, and they were trying very hard to trade up in the second round to get Myles Jack.
Yeah because he’s a special prospect. But what else did we do at LB?
Has Keith Marshall been taken yet?
Nope
This offense needs to score points
They’re comparing Duarte to Jordan Reed.
He isn’t as complete as Reed but on the receiving side he might be comparable
No one better to develop a QB for Ron and gun than Spurrier
Duarte ran a 4.65, 2.73 20yd, & 1.62 10yd split.
33 1/2 vertical 9’10” broad
4,24 short shuttle & 6.97 3 cone drill….not bad at all.
Good ST weapon too.
He really looks like a good player
knee jerk reactions are never good
“The Baltimore Ravens would’ve taken Ole Miss offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil with the No. 6 overall pick were it not for the gas mask video that surfaced on social media right before the draft, league sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter on Saturday.”
I believe it came out right around that time. It was bizarre and a shitty thing to do to a person. I just hope this doesn’t escalate.
Son, yeah Jordan Reed is 6’2 237 & a 3rd rd pick & was a lil slower running a 4.72
It’s cool that they are getting guys that they can be creative with. Added to what is already here this makes the offense very diverse and deep with play making ability.
Now McAllister I’d gone fuck me I shouldn’t have posted that list
Is not I’d
It did read pretty funny…😳
Hoping for some UDFA LB talent like we got last year., maybe a hidden DE gem & OG as well.
How about what ffr looks for in the bars – long snapper
LMAO
I can’t see room on the 53 to carry Duarte, but he could go on the PSquad to develop and in case of injury.
Jason Fanaika is a solid looking DE from Utah, hope he makes it to FA for us.
I wonder why matakavich didn’t get any love. Dude showed out at the senior bowl.
He’s a shrimp
Physically he leaves a bit to be desired
But very solid technique
Whalen has now found himself in a very serious battle for a spot. The competition at WR looks to be as tough as last year, but with some different type of players.
I thought Whalen was our #5 and the European $6 but both might get cut now.
DAMN there go two of my guys back to back Peake and Marshall.
Peake also on my list it is my fault
LOL, now Jayron Kearse goes.
Kearse gone now too
Glad Jayron Kearde was drafted
There goes Kearse a guy I liked but gave up on for a lackadaisical attitude.
He was arrested for breaking and entering when he was in high school
last 12 picks is to no one in our division, so there’s that…lol
I think this draft is successful if Tunsil and howard can become solid starters this year. think tunsil will be but not sure about howard. Lippett might give him a run for his money.
10 TD’s between Drake and Carroo would be sweet
Steelers like the Matakevich SOB
Dropping like flies bye bye matakevich
Damn! Marshall Gone.
His knees are bad.
Worth a shot in the 7th!

Drake will see a lot of playing time as well.
Thank God Matakevich was drafted
