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!
Finsmob Unleashed 
We will have our pick of TE’s folks. Which is why we’ll probably take Mason Rudolph and this blog will MELT lol
I’d be good with Rudolph, but I WANT a TE first, DAMMIT!!!
What if Landry makes it to us?
We’ll take him and trade him. That’s what we do with Landry’s!
True
we may take godirt
GOD-ERT
Ronald Jones!!!
that’s ok for us and great for Tampa Bay.
I just put my shoes back on. Just an FYI
James Daniels!!!
again I’m ok with missing out on Daniels even tho he’s a good C.
Alright, pressure is HIGH over the next two picks!!!
I’m about to crack
Denver can’t pass on Guice
Hey man good to see you
Please don’t draft a TE!!!!!
More specifically MY tight end!!!!!!
Kumbaya Brian
Does Oakland need a TE?
there are rumors that they like Goedert
good pick by Bears. kinda think if Daniels was there at 42 we’d consider it pretty damn hard.
Denver took Chubb so they won’t take Landry
Brian,
You and I are sharing the EXACT SAME BRAIN here!!!
I want that TE that can make us relevant once again! Go Fins!!!!
Added to my pressure , my son is in the edge of the couch hoping for Gesicki….
Aww!
Denver to take OT ?? seems logical
That is a big ass free safety
Courtland Sutton!!!
Moment of truth on the TE right now
ok… we get one of the two TEs if we want one.
History of Fin drafts gives me a feeling of dread about what direction our #42 goes.
So we’re going to GET a TE… if we so will it!
WHEW … one more, guys … and they are not allowed to pick TWO TEs … are they? It’s Gruden … maybe he has special privileges.
I’m waiting for us to not pick a TE and blow this blog the fuck up. LOL
So what are the chances we don’t take a TE now?
High? Low? AHHHHHHHHH
Burp
oh shit
Nooooooooo!
Watch… we’ll take a Kicker
Making a sacrifice to the Football Gods….
Please make it so!!!
Titans will take a TE
Raiders fucking us again?
Rudolph lingers
Steve Smith doesn’t like him
Oh boy…
Mike E is out in his shed asking his wife to tell him what the pick is. LOL
lmfao
TRADE to the TITANS … Aren’t they stacked at TE?
Titans traded up?
are they taking THEIR pick of TE before we get a choice??
Landry!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay
VY can’t freakin’ read LOL
I heard Connor Landry
Pleeeeeeease!
Fins UP!
Ok Brian I hope you and your son get your wish
niiiiiice a guy we’d never pick this yr.
GESICKI is on the board, DAMMIT!!!
TAKE HIM!!!
Now get ready for us not to take a TE
That was wuick
what was the cost for Titans to move up 14 spots in 2nd. dang.
Of course we go to commercial… Fuckers 🖕🖕
LOL happens all the fucking time.
will the conspiracies never end!!! 😉
Brian,
I’m with you and your son on this, man!!!
ESPN didn’t even list TE as a top 3 need. smh. That’s just lazy.
Pick is in
Wasted no time on whoever it is
Here we go!!!
Miami’s pick is in. Let’s go to commercial
Always
Lol
could we have a few more commercials, please!!
Chanting TE…. TE….TE….
Is Gase someone who takes chances on small college guys like Goedert… if he needs the dude to block then it will be Goedert. If you want a GIANT WR then its Gesicki
Woo hoo
GESICKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Brian just cried
I’m literally in tears!
There you go Brian!
Yeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!!!
FUNK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Yeeeeeeeeeeees!!!!!!!
Burp!
we got our Antonio Gates / Jimmy Graham !!!! Tannehill just sacrificed a chicken for the health of his knee
They did it!!! Yes for so many reasons. Congrats Brian and your son and M13 and everyone else. 🙂
Nice. Can’t block but who cares right? Lol
We will get another TE before the draft is over
That’s not what he’s going to be doing Debbie Downer. Geez! LOL
Did I mention YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
High five hand way to go
We are being read?
There he is!
Brian,
CHEERS to YOU and your son!!!
#PSU4Life!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
WE ARE……
Happy for you guys Brian. That’s awesome
Happy for our team too
I’m loving this draft !! I love that pick more than a fat kid loves cake 👍👍👍🥃🥃
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I tell you the Truth now, he is gonna be dynamic in Gase’s speed hit system.
He’ll be open and behind the LBs so fast!!
THERE YOU GO, YOUNG STANGER!!!
WE FINALLY FILLED AN AREA OF BIG NEED!!
NOW get the best available O-Lineman in round 3!
Not just me a bunch of folks…..but what the O has been missing.
I may be buying another jersey…
Don’t worry – I won’t be
BTW I love the Gisecki pick. We got the best pure receiving TE in the draft
High Fives all around guys.
Tim,
I said “who cares”. I like the pick, ya rainbow farting unicorn. Lol
LMFAO!!!
Pats wanted him. They traded right out once he was gone.
Exactly
well Detroit certainly needs help at RB.
JERSEY BOYS BABY!!!!!
Parcels always loved Jersey TE’s

WE ARE……
———–
WE ARE!!!
Awesome for you guys
Thanks, Son! We’ve been through SO much as PSUers, what with the Sandusky crimes.
Looks like Guice is being cast out
Trotters crosses that’s a Guice continues to drop
Bri – I think Gesicki is the only jersey I would consider buying. Piggy called it the other day, and he’s right
Don’t you do it
That’s true Mike- you have the jersey jinx . I’ll never forgive you!
I’m probably getting one when they come out. One for my boy too.
Damn Guice is the recipient of this year’s Piggy RB crush curse
It’s worse than the cover of Madden
He’s lucky I don’t buy his jersey
Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now let’s double down and get a blocking TE tomorrow, Smythe!!!
We got that target at TE. Fuck yeah!!! I love this draft so far.
pretty good f’king draft so far 🙂
Merton Hanks….former Hawkeye!
do you pronounce it juh sick ee or guh sick ee?
Hard G
Good question. Dwight certainly struggled with it.
So we’ll have Parker, Still, and Gesick in the red zone, scary, the underneath should be wide open!
No doubt our new TE will be a key redzone guy. You seen some of the catches?
Everybody lay off the Gesicki jersies… let the kid have a chance. lol
I’m 99% getting one. I had an OJ Mcduffie one and that worked out!
