The Dolphins managed to get perhaps the top DB in the 2018 NFL Draft and stayed put at #11 to do it as well. As usual, admittedly, Minkah wasn’t my pick, but also as usual, I can see why we got him. I think it’s clear the FO, Gase, and defensive coaches alike, all felt like we don’t really have that deep safety. Minkah is not only going to be a deep safety, he can cover in the slot, on the outside like a CB, and may possibly be the guy to cover TE’s. We’ll see, not going to get too far ahead of myself here.
There are many positives to glean from this selection, he thoroughly solidifies our secondary, and our CB’s will look even better knowing they have a guy they can rely on to pick up deep receivers in our zone defense. There’s also a negative. We just signed safety T.J. McDonald to a 4YR/$24M contract through 2021. Why? We have all-pro safety Reshad Jones, and if they wanted to draft a safety with our first pick, which is fine, why sign McDonald to a 4 YR contract. The only thing that makes sense is that T.J. McDonald will be our hybrid S/LB and most likely nickel LB. Can he handle that role? We’ll find out this season, for better or for worse. I’m not trying to knock the Fitzpatrick pick in the least, but I would love to see what the plan is, and ya know, hope there actually IS a plan.
In the meantime – Welcome to Miami Minkah Fitzpatrick, may you be blessed with a long and healthy career All-Pro career here in Miami! Go #29!

Like Minkah – First
Second
Good stuff so quickly Mike.
Thanks
Too bad Sony is the enemy I used to like him.
I wanted a defensive playmaker in the first or a trade back for a tight end and it seems we got the first one. Get that TE in the second and I’ll be happy.
Who are some good suggestions at LB for 3rd round and beyond?
Skai Moore
If we don’t get a TE NOW, I will not be so forgiving. Darius Leonard, Fred Warner, I think Wyo likes Malik Jefferson, I like Skai Moore later in the draft too
6 0f the first 23 picks last night were offensive linemen. And 5 first round picks were QB’s. Miami, on the other hand, appears to be sticking with an unproven O-Line and a QB who, because of the beating he has taken, has become somewhat injury prone and fragile.
DOES ANYBODY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS?? –NOT in the Dolphins front orifice. I noted that Tampa Bay traded their 7th pick for a 12th pick plus numbers 53 and 56. SMART MOVE!!
GAPING HOLES still exist at TE, OL, DL, etc., etc. WE have yet to address any of them. Minkah should NOT be a stinkah. But his selection, alone, will not cure what ails the Dolphins. We have a TON of work to do, and we expect (hope) that a proven loser like T-Bomb can get the job done??? It will take a miracle.
Unfortunately, Miami’s BIGGEST NEED can not be addressed this week. That would be our great need FOR A NEW OWNER, an owner who won’t hire the proven losers that have run this franchise for the last decade.
OD – We did address the O-line. We brought in a starting C in Kilgore, and brought in a top OG in Sitton, and signed James for his 5th YR contract We may draft an OL, but it’s not the top priority.
lol. injury prone and fragile from a beating.
It looks like we may get a TE at 42 as there are no LBers ranked that high
Unless a couple of teams ruin that. I might just cry if we don’t take a TE with our next pick
Goedert or Gesicki
we need depth at LBer
SMH OD PLEASE, Tannehill has not become injury prone & fragile. Hyperbole!
We do NOT freaking need all 5 olinemen to be first round picks. NO team does that.
Can let it go with Ross? Fucking go get some investors and buy the team or…suck it up, you have no say!
ROSS IS A GOOD OWNER
We are one hit away from Oswieller!
Osweiler was 2012’s Josh Allen. Anyone feel better about that? 🙂
NE is one hit away from Brian Hoyer
GET OFF MY LAWN DUFFASS
Quit yell’n Rock, It’s too early!
LOL! oh sorry, lol
🙂
We need to trade up to get our TE! I can feel it.
I don’t mind one bit if we do. Just do it!
THIS goes to prove that no matter what you do in life, half the people in the world will think your a dumb ass!!!!!!!!!!!!
they may not have a TE in mind at this point, there are a couple of OL that may be available or perhaps chubb the rb
I will start burning shit down if they do not take a TE today.
I will drive across town first, but I will burn shit down.
😉
Every year is different, a new chemistry of men and their talents. What we had wasn’t a good chemistry. Keep core values/talent while shedding bloated salaries/ego.
I like the pick as we have to beat wr’s, te’s, and not be left in the dust. Reshaping ol and dl, adding talent/strength to db.
More to do and hope we can get a future pro bowl te.
Who knows?

does the mock generator automatically fill in Minkah or did you do a “hybrid” mock?
If you don’t put in Minkah it screws the rest of the round 1’s up!
Wyo – We took one Jersey boy (Minkah), now it’s time for the Jersey Boys with Mike Gesicki
Mike you don’t take Fitz without a plan, unless you’re Jeff Ireland. Gase has ulluded to not liking the play of our safeties together, as much as he thought he was going to.
Look at everything we’ve done so far and it has Gase’s finger prints all over it. From the MTP signing of Suh released, to Ajayi, to Pouncey, to Landry. Everything has been done with a theme in mind, to get his guys, that play his way, and if you don’t…don’t let the door…no matter who you are.
Buffalo and jets dumped a lot of talent last year, it worked for both of them, so it can be done.
I love the Fitz pick and the direction of the team. We bitch about status quo, then bitch when changes are made. As long as I see a direction towards a path that makes sense I’m good with it.
OK Wyo, so what’s the plan for McDonald now? We have him for 4 years at $6M per. What’s he going to do?
Oops, Steve. 😀
Trade him to Dallas for their #2 and get your TE
They’ve already talked about moving him to LB, lots of teams are moving towards these types of LBs. We now have so much versatility in the back 7 that Kiko may be coming off the field in the dime.
Picking Fitz and moving TJ to LB fixes FS and LB. The D is mostly set, but I still see a need for a DT. We can get by without one, but that would only work, if no one got hurt and they played up to their potential. Hayes playing DT on passing downs completes our 4 man rotation, hoping fresh is better than or close to what we had last year.
Then you lose your versatility Wyo
MINKAH the MERCILESS with a big hit

Wyo – Trading him makes sense, if Dallas wants him.
Tunsil screwed up our draft in 2016 because we didn’t expect him to be there and he was. He was BPA and they took him. I think Minkah was a BPA who fell to them too. They probably had someone else targeted there but when he fell….
I think he was the choice all along, 1B with QB being 1A.
I don’t see an issue with having Jones, Fitz & McDonald all at the same time. We play 5 -6 backs the majority of the game anyway.
Not only isn’t it an issue, it’s a strength. How many times have we seen Jones all over the field, like he’s the only one back there that can make a play? Now we have 2, that don’t have to concentrate on coverage as much and can make some plays.
The speed of the D has been increased Bigly. We’ve had guys nicked up in the past and seen guys like M. Thomas in coverage, yikes! Gase has gone about fixing the you can never have enough CBs, Fitz’ best skill is covering the slot, in a trendy way I hope it works.
Bobby McCain did a great job last season in the slot.
Miami Dolphins: While safety Minkah Fitzpatrick will likely turn out to be a fine pick at No. 11 overall, Dolphins fans who saw Rosen sitting on the board until No. 10 have to be let down. Given that it feels like this team is stuck in quicksand, an indefinite future with Ryan Tannehill as the quarterback is hard to get excited about.
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000929261/article/2018-nfl-draft-debrief-winners-and-losers-from-round-1
Ha! So the Broncos are winners for believing in Case Keenum, and the Dolphins losers for believing in Tannehill.

Then you lose your versatility Wyo
——————————–
I think I lost that in High School?
I’m just running around poking the “ButtHurt” folks with a stick!
Sorry if the description irritates you!
I wasn’t going to go there, but since you mentioned versatility and butthurt in high school😉 you may have some splanin to do.
I really, really like how Ozzie drafts. Guy is the best in the business. I thought all of the QB trades were solid and Arizona actually robbed the Raiders which surprised me a bit. Buying Bryant was also a terrible move so I question McKenzie a bit. Fitz was a great surprise just like Tunsil and Harris being available at their spots the two years before. Excellent value, great player.
I’m very interested in seeing how the coaches use guys this year. We’ve picked excellent picks the last 3 years, just removed a ton of talent, and have seen teams like the Bills and Jets thrive afterwards. I expect the same if these guys want to keep their jobs.
Steve – If TJ can play LB and it works, that’s great. All that remains to be seen
Yes, but the way it’s setup he doesn’t have to be great at it, he just has to not be a liability, because anytime you can get an extra DB on the field and not suffer in the run game you’ve succeeded. It also allows us to bring Fitz up to speed at a slower pace, because I see TJ playing FS too. We’re also going to be able to move guys around based on the matchup.
We’ve had our share of matchup issues in the past, this is what belicheat does better than anyone, and why they always seem to get back into a game.
I don’t think T.J. is playing FS. He’s not that type of player. I’m sorry if I think it was a little impulsive to sign TJ a 4 year contract last year. You can tell me from today till tomorrow what he’s going to do, if he doesn’t do it well, it’s pointless.
I can’t help but question our FO. They pay exorbitant sums for FAs that don;t seem to ever work out. That seems like really poor research or maybe communication with the coaching staff. Maybe it’s trying too hard to give Gase a safety blanket? I’m not sure what, but they haven’t worked out well since Tannenbaum arrived. To be fair, Acorn Man didn’t have an amazing record either but it concerns me
Everything doesn’t have to be black or white Mike, if it doesn’t work out to plan, you still have added depth and no worse than what we had last year, but if it does, its one of thise moves that could take the D to the next level.
We’ve been talking about the possibility of 3 safeties since Jan on this board. If you do don’t think that was a possibility, you haven’t been listening.
It doesn’t mean we won’t add a LB in the next few rounds
Spoke about 3 safeties at once when wedge discussed James (Alien dust portion) – it’s also kind of like the idea of drafts my Peppers last year
Steve – Well, everything kinda does have to work out. It’s not MLB and we’re not the Yankees. There’s a salary cap, so mistakes bite you in the ass.
We need another 2nd round pick. Would love to walk away with Gesicki or Goedert and Guice tonight.
That would be awesome and I agree
An extra 2nd would be amazing
But…
I’m digging Kalen Ballage. Not sure when he goes, but we may be able to get him in RD 4. I would love Guice, but we must get Gesicki first
I know I did a scouting report on Ballage by he does have some serious concerns
I would take Kelly or Scarborough before Ballage
you mean Goedert
Okay guys
Every year day 2 is my favorite part of the draft
But I probably won’t benhome until 830 tonight to watch it
So you are going to have to fill me in on what happened when I oink on tonight for the first time
Look at Mike Mayock’s pre-draft rankings… he had several guys ranked right around the spot that many thought were reaches… i.e. McGlinchey, Davenport, Ragnow, Wynn… DJ Moore ahead of Ridley….
and our guy at #5 🙂
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000928186/article/mike-mayocks-2018-nfl-draft-top-100-prospect-rankings
I happen to love the idea of drafting Christian Kirk too
Anyone surprised I’m trying to sell you on a WR?
Between a Guice or Hurst, who would you take? (Assume Gesicki if off the board)
Hurst is gone
Not Hayden – Maurice!
Goedert
Wyoming,
That’s a funny article. Fitz was the same value as Chubb at his spot as you mention. Honestly, the writer said his bias early. “It was a night for new eras and instant hope in the five cities that drafted quarterbacks in the first round.” He was all over the place in that as well. Buffalo was desperate to move up, Arizona did great though! Pure ignorance based off where someone placed a guy in their draft imagination spot. Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson say hi draft geniuses.
I think the chances of Goedert being available at #42 are pretty solid.
One of Goedert and/or Gesicki should be
Hoping you are right, but also guessing that if one gets taken someone trades up…..maybe even us.
Some speculation as to why Guice didn’t go in the 1st here
http://www.theadvocate.com/baton_rouge/sports/lsu/article_52ce054e-49b2-11e8-9088-3f4414a7aacb.html
My hit list on offense is a little longer than defense
Offense: gesicki, Goedert, Guice, Chubb, freeman, kirk, Ian thomas, Hernandez, Daniels
Defense is basically Hurst and Phillips, we can probably afford to wait for a LB
I think they will also wait until round 4 for RB if they take one at all (CJ Anderson knows the coaching staff here loves him). Having a better ‘read’ on bringing Anderson in would really help us fill specific holes with the next four picks.
Accordingly by to Mando C.J. Anderson is very unlikely to happen unless the dolphins comenout of the draft wo a RB
Piggly – I like Harrison Phillips more than Mo Hurst
I’m a Hurst pig
I took Phillips in the third in my mock above.
Sounds like Minkah is one heck of a player. Seems he was BPA as well. And guess Gase couldn’t stop himself from taking him. Man once said that “you can never have too many DBs”…..and in Minkah he got like three dbs with one pick.
A Swiss Army knife defensive back
Should get the rest of the DBs except for Jones to work harder…..he’s making all of them worried about their job. 🙂
What time does round 2 start tonight?
7PM
Thank you
If we don’t take a TE this round, I’d be scratching my head. There hasn’t been a more perfect time than this round in this draft to make that move.
Agreed!
i’m not scratching my head, I’m going to drive across town and set shit of fire!
Fitz 4.47 40 is pretty fast.
Exactly. That is why he can be a #1 CB because he is fast enough and has the coverage skills to match up against a WR but he is also physical enough to play Safety. I think he ultimately he is a FS but I can see using him in multiple roles depending upon the matchups
Too stiff to be a CB, doesn’t come out of his backpedal well enough
We essentially drafted the best player Alabama has in this draft! That usually results in ProBowls
We want Super Bowls
https://phinphanatic.com/2018/04/27/miami-dolphins-draft-safety-thats-safe-fitzpatrick-fits/
Positive spin article.
Alright time for my daily routine. Gym, radiation then nap. See you guys later
Keep grinding Ken!
Keep up the good fight brother!
I don’t like the term “swiss army knife” DB. I hope that is not what Fitz is. To me that means he’s not good enough at anything to be any one thing. (I want a screw driver to drive screws all day and a fillet knife to fillet a fish, a Kbar in battle, a skinning knife to skin a dear, at cork screw to open a bottle of wine. While a SAK can do all those, it is not as good at any of them as the actual tool.
How about a Drexel multi tool then. Picky
Dremel
Oh yeah we need Shaquem tonight. Oh man what an addition he’d be.
Is he the one with one hand?
Yes
as long as we take a TE (Goedert) in the 2nd tonight you can have your one handed / undersized LB son. (I know he’s a local for you)
Son — forgot to say congrats on calling the pick. But man was I close with Rosen.
Besides the obvious Tannehill pick I think that’s the first one I got right
They spelled it right too
I got the Ja’Wuan James pick right, but that’s all folks!
nah, you can’t claim that Stanger. you were nowhere close, they were going to pass on Rosen and still take Fitz.
Even if did not take Rosen, seems would have ended up one spot away either way…..and the trade down (which I really wanted) happened at #10 might have happened too. Close enough for me.
JBB Stanger. I think you know Rosen was my least favorite of the least favored position picks for me.
I got our 5th round kicker pick right 3 years ago…..(my claim to draft fame lol)
I’d like to walk away from today’s draft with a QB and a TE. A LB and OG would be an ok alternate to TE but id prefer it to be TE
Take the BPA @42
Then trade back up for the TE you want when the time is right!
Who was that that said Hurst was going to fall because of his age??????????????
I said he could fall. We may have to trade up to get the TE, never mind BPA and then trade up later
I said when the time is right! 😉
Ravens got very unlucky when they lost their TE, and they will only take a two-way TE, he has to be able to block.
Mike we both got the James pick right and we technically got the Gabe Jackson pick right, the dolphins just didn’t lol
LOL – True dat!
I am rooting for Fitz and hope he become a probowl player for us, but 35 tackles a year, 3 ints per year and 8 passes defensed per year average doesn’t seem to hard to achieve.
Most of the times the offenses schemed to take him out of plays. He was dominant in college. In fact I had him as the best safety in this draft and probably the best CB prospect as well. We got a good player
sweet, I did see a stat from PPF that QB’s had a 60 something passer rating throwing into his coverage area. (so besides PD’s he just made them miss too)
There are just two rounds tonight right? 2nd & 3rd? or am I wrong again?
Right on brother!
Right you are wrong about being wrong again
see, I checked and I still have a penis so I knew I was wrong.
We need more picks tonight! Trade away a player damnit! (LOL)
If we had drafted a QB we could have traded Tanny…. See what you did!
but that’s just dumb
OK, I am targeting a TE (Goedert) and a LB tonight. Substitute DT for LB if the right one is / isn’t there.
QB RB K tomorrow
I want DALLAS GOEDERT TONIGHT AND EDDY PINIERO TOMORROW.
Flowers tomorrow would be cool too, but I doubt they draft a FB. 😦
I especially like the first play in this video because it looks like he is beating a Jet’s player.
The clown has NO penis
??? is that a line from something or is the clown always right?
The penis line is a joke, from back when I was married. any time I had a disagreement with the wife I would concede saying “so silly of me, of course I’m wrong, I have a penis”
Step Brothers
So who falls today to screw up me getting Goedert?
Nice writeup, Mike!
Thanks Tim
Maybe we weren’t taking a QB no matter what, but wanted Buffalo to have to trade up to feel secure about getting one, or if one was available have Buffalo and AZ fight over it in a trade? Pretty solid strategy to weaken a division foe or get additional draft capital.
Makes sense to me
It depends of course who’s available for the trade up, but yeah MTP isn’t sitting back while someone he likes is sitting there.
Are you guys happy with the pick? Didn’t see any of it. I went to a movie premiere. 😂 A locally filmed/produced scary/gory thing. I think possibly the worst movie EVER made.
My hopes for a Herd player is them taking Kaare Vedvik undrafted. He was the Herd’s punter and kicker last season. Claim to fame is a 92 yd punt last season.
https://www.sbnation.com/platform/amp/college-football/2017/10/14/16477112/marshall-92-yard-punt-old-dominion-kaare-vedvik
LOL, was it friend’s movie or something?
No, just was invited to go, it was set very near where I’m from.
Ecstatic, Fitz was on top of my wish list. We’re the worst team in the league covering TEs and no better against slot WRs, so no brainer pick for me.
Cool. Good to hear.
My brother and his friend, makeup artist, have worked on some of those types of horror movies, when he lived in So Cal. He did sone set work and even had a small part.
Sounds like the same thing as this. It was supposed to be scary, at some point it just became funny it was so bad. But I think this was their first effort, nowhere to go but up. 😂
You newer know what will happen guess till it does. One of my childhood friends was Jason in the first Friday the 13th. He had all of like 5 seconds in the flick (grabbed the girl in the boat at the end), but flick did pretty well.
Herd – Yes, happy with the pick. Very good player. He just made our entire secondary better.
I’m so glad they didn’t do something stupid.
Ditto! He gives us more matchup options.
He can also play ST
Yep, he’s a complete football player.
Witten retiring . . .
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000929367/article/dallas-cowboys-te-jason-witten-expected-to-retire
Always liked him, but from our standpoint might make the Cowboys a team to trade up for a TE.
Baltimore gets the fifth year option on Jackson by getting him in the first round.
Are you trying to make me hate the Ravens even more?
Yeah and it’s a cheaper 5th year option since it’s outside the top 10
I think it’s becoming increasingly hard to pick what teams will select outside really obvious picks because bso many teams are adding the best talent no matter how deep they are at the position. Tampa did it, jags did it, Oakland went away from their primary need. So i think we look good as far as having a shot at a TE but I can’t say that teams above us wouldn’t take a TEnif it was BPA for them nor could I say we wouldn’t take Guice if he was there as he likely is BOA considering how much we are supposed to like him as a prospect. I know what I’d like to see as a selection but I think worst case scenario we still have a selection available that’s going to be really good for our offense, and there are prospects left that would be great for our defense too. I’m seeing a contributor in the second pick for sure and likely the third round guy too. Tons of talent still out there
Lol! So it’s harder to pick when they pick for need? If everyone just went BPA it would be like auto picking, and much easier.
Yeah and it’s a cheaper 5th year option since it’s outside the top 10
Evaluating a draft pick the day after it’s made is futile….unless it’s a Hawkeye! 🙂
James Daniels is still on the board!
You can only evaluate their potential not how good they will play. The NFL and the college game is still a good ways apart even if they are coming from Alabama
Herd it will probably wind up on the sci-fi network like Sharknado or maybe showtime beyond that shows a lot of campy horror movies like zombie amigo
Just one evaluation, but gotta like this one from Yahoo sports.
——————-
11) Miami Dolphins: CB Minkah Fitzpatrick, Alabama – The temptation was there to transition from QB Ryan Tannehill. Instead, the Dolphins picked up one of the most exciting defenders in the draft. Fitzpatrick would have been a fine pick in the top 5. In a choice between Fitzpatrick and Derwin James, Miami couldn’t have gone wrong with either of them. Best all-around DB in the draft. Saban sic’d him on any top receiver the Tide was facing or had him cover over the top as a safety. Considering Alabama’s DBs typically do well in the league, this was a solid pick. Grade: A
Only have to wait 9 picks tonight if we stay at #42.
Who do you take?????
LB MALIK JEFFERSON – TEXAS
RB DERRIUS GUICE – LSU
WR COURTLAND SUTTON – SMU
WR CHRISTIAN KIRK – TEXAS A&M
TE MIKE GESICKI – PENN STATE
DL MAURICE HURST – MICHIGAN
TE DALLAS GOEDERT – SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
S RONNIE HARRISON – ALABAMA
DL HARRISON PHILLIPS – STANFORD
I take Jefferson
Then trade my 3rd and a 4th (maybe both) to get back up for a TE!
I like the idea of trading into the 2nd
Gesicki
Guice
Kirk
Chubb
Goedert
Hurst
Jefferson
Phillips
Sutton
In that order
Happy with most of those picks
GOEDERT DUH
D,
I like Daniels. I think he’s more of a third round pick, but I think he could come in and play right away at RG for us. I don’t see it happening because I think TE and LB are just bigger needs.
While I think we can add LB for depth, I’m not calling it a need with the Fitzpatrick
I really think the idea of Amith, Edmunds, James or Minkah we’re meant to address the same issue
We took a safety instead of a LB
I wouldn’t mind a Alan but I’m not calling it aneed
Do you have something for people named Alan?
Lol
A LB!!!
Maybe they got tired of watching us allowing all those 3rd and long conversions.
We will likely have to trade back up before 49 it looks like with the retirement of Witten!
Why? Take a TE at #42?
He means if we take another position, then trade up for a TE
They weren’t the BPA in that scenario
And I don’t think they will be the BPA @42
JMHO
I don’t know much about these guys, but it seems like the back end of our defense is pretty young and athletic. Seems like we will have options in matching up with the different offenses out there.
Looks that way!
Don’t forget about Ian Thomas guys
He’s a solid TE prospect
um….GOEDERT!
#29 is available too.
“predominantly-slot player” and I read of him as a hybrid slot elsewhere. Doesn’t match up with a deep center FS. Know we have a player, just not sure how he will be used. And maybe that is the point…..other teams won’t either on a given play.
He was a boundary cb in college when he played cb. These guys guess at where they are best suited in the NFL but he has the speed and agility for the outside. And he is a good tackling FE more of a hybrid like Jones. Jones can cover like a FD but plays well in the box, same with Fitzpatrick
Ability not agility
Anyone feel Mason Rudolph might be our first pick tonight?
I hope not, unless we get another pick somehow
I wonder if we might
D – I guess it’s like with Jalen Ramsey. Most experts had him playing S or LB in the NFL, and yet he’s one of the best corners in the NFL. Have to see how he helps the team most.
Ramsey wasn’t considered a LB, I think you’re confusing him with Jabrill Peppers.
Definitely a S though
Eh, maybe you’re right, could be Jabrill I’m thinking of. lol
Yes
I think they said Ramsey might play CB or safety
I thought he was going to be a safety
If he’s still on the board when we’re up my gut is we take Dallas Goedert. He’s considered not just a receiving threat but also has the size and strength to be an in-line blocker.
YES! someone is listening!
1: R1P11 S MINKAH FITZPATRICK, ALABAMA

I don’t think it’s crazy

I would hate it. I am not a fan and generally don’t trust OK State QBs

I would much prefer Falk, White, Lauretta or Benkert
Why are we up Tim’s gut? Is that the new Dolphins HQ?
That’s a cheeseburger up Tim’s gut isn’t it?

I don’t want to be up Tim’s gut

Fitzpatrick was another pick we didn’t meet with.
Next year we have to remember to look only at prospects we didn’t met with so we can narrow down who we’re taking.
I’m told that is an outlier, and more often than not we do meet with the people we pick beforehand……someone spent a lot of time analyzing it last week so I’m just going to go with it…..
Probably one of the reasons is Gase has a relationship with Saban and besides Fitz’s tape they already knew he was a good kid and loves football.
The Colts have back to back picks, they may be willing slide back 5 spots
I hope we don’t pick that crappy TE Goedert, i can’t see my self yelling GOOO—DIRT!
We’re not, we’re taking the superior TE Gesicki!
back to back Jersey boys!
………………… I deleted 5 nasty replies and will just let this go……….

It was us that wanted Brice Petty last year. The equipment department wanted a live tackling dummy.
