Whatever we do with our 1st pick, I don’t think anyone here should be surprised. I think we can go a multitude of directions. By that, I mean we can stay put at #13 and select whomever we believe is the best player , we could move up and take a player (read QB), or we might even trade back and collect more draft capital. I really have no idea what we’re doing and I definitely don’t have a strong feeling about any particular player that we’re interested in. I’m not always right about who we’re taking, but I usually have a pretty good hunch, even if it’s wrong.
I think many of you that believe we will just be going whole hog on the DL, both DE and DT, and also staying in the trenches with numerous OL. I think you guys are all overlooking the fact that we need a QB. I know we’re supposed to be all in on Tua, but I don’t buy it. We need to upgrade the QB position with some young talent for the future. Fitz is a placeholder, and right now we have Luke Falk and Jake Rudock. I feel very strongly that we are taking a QB in this draft, and it will be no later than RD 3, and very possibly RD 1. Now which QB that is, I really have no idea. I don’t think Haskins is going to make to #13 and I have no reason to believe we’re in love with him enough to trade up to get him. We very well may be, and if we are, GO GET HIM! If there’s one thing we’ve seen here since Dan the man departed in 1999 is that we’ve yet to replace him with the right QB, and thus have been 144-160 AM (After Marino).
It’s definitely not all on the QB, but when you have the right QB, you have the most important player on the field locked up. You build around that. No DE, DT, OT, OG, OC, LB, S, CB, RB, TE, K, P or LS can make that impact. You gotta have the QB, and we don’t have one. It’s time to remedy that. Take one this year, and much like the Cardinals, if you’re not sure about that guy, take another one next year, but find that guy! Having Fitz means if we do take a QB, even in RD 1, that we don’t have to rush them into service immediately. If at some point during the year the QB is ready to go in, then maybe we’ll get a peek at what is to come, but it’s not a necessity. It would also give us a jump start for next year because the QB will know the system having been here a year, even if he doesn’t play. That will make the transition next year much easier.
It’s gonna happen folks, we’re taking a QB whether you want us to or not! Get used to the idea, because it’s happening this draft. Or at least it should.

I agree we have some talented areas on our team, WRs, DBs, LT, RBs, LBs. and some very weak areas, OL, DL, and QB.
We’re a .500 team. Not good enough.
I thought I just said that. LOL
That’s why I said, “I agree.” WTF????
LOL, you reiterated what I just said as a reply. That’s all. Not a big deal.
I don’t get it. You made a comment and I agreed with it, then you said you just said that. I’m confused.
Unfortunately, our weaknesses directly impact are strengths…..weakens the entire team.
Just remember, this is a rebuilding year, bud.
I think that so long as we build the trenches (both sides of the Line), we’re going to be alright moving forward.

What is it with the NFL WR position that so often turns ferocious competitors into divas? I don’t see it in other sports, as much as I do the WR position in the NFL. It’s weird!
I mean, “diva wide-receiva” has all but become a household term these days, for example!
Semantics…..rebuilding/relaying the foundation for the future. Getting rid of bad contracts, dead money, accumulating draft picks, but retaining our strengths.
I guess one could argue we have no strengths, so the nuclear option is the only option. That’s not what I see, though.
I hear ya, Krishna… I honestly do. Had we put more focus on the O-Line, I think we were building a winner. That, and Tannehill wasn’t the answer at QB.
I very much dislike the nuclear option as well, but we’ve drafted so poorly and for too long.
Krishna, it’s not worth a lot of time. We agree. Communication breakdown. 🙂
I think a lot of us are saying the same thing and have been for a long time. Maybe, this is the time.
We can only hope.
That’s why I believe in BPA or all-in for the QB you want with full conviction in the 1st round. Is the FO all in with any of the QBs in this draft let alone the 1st round? I’m not, but I’m an armchair GM.
Hey, we’re ALL arm-chair GMs, man! 🙂
Let us hope for the very best!
Tannehill was not ready (short college experience), had skills, and poor coaching. Hard to succeed.
^^^
BOOM!!!
We ALL hoped for the best from Tannehill, but it certainly didn’t pan out the way Philbin & Sherman had planned… and for the rationale you stated.
Krishna,
It was good talking today with ya, man! You and I agree so very much on a LOT of football matters, sir. And as always, it’s ALWAYS alright to disagree… I respect you!
—————-
I’ve done some homework on one Justin Hollins. I’m sorry, but I’m most unimpressed. He’s a “one-trick pony” who doesn’t have ANY kind of arsenal of pass-rushing traits. He’s speedy, and that’s it.
He’a not a top prospect.
That would depend upon who one may ask. He’s slotted to go in day 2, but I don’t like our chances of drafting him… as in, he’s not worth it, IMO.
Who’s the best interior DL at 13 in the draft and will that be the BPA? That would be my pick.
My favorites are Ed Oliver, Christian Wilkins and Clelin Ferrell – two Clemson DL who our new DL coach knows well.
If they are there it makes perfect sense. If I’m their coach who do I pick? He must have a favorite.
My bet would be Clelin Ferrell.
Interior DL, DL, DE (is that edge these days?), RT. Interior OL is my order of need/BPA. Hate to go RT at 13.
It’s about making the right calls — not passing on Drew Brees twice, picking Gronk and not Misi, picking T.J. Watt rather than Charles Harris, picking Dallas Goedert rather than Mike Gesicki, picking Ziggy Ansah over Dion Jordan and on and on.
Philosophy is good. Principles are good. But we’ve pretty much seen them all tried already — at least I have.
Good decision-making?
Now, that would be new.

Yes let’s hope the Research crew is better than what we had!
But then again how many times did the previous regimes go off the rails to get their man?
And that would be why they are gone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
see, that’s the thing though. They are NOT gone. Most of the scouting department doesn’t turn over when the GM’s come and go. Grier had been here for 15 years. He WAS GM last year. This isn’t a “fresh start” it is the SAME PEOPLE only now Grier get’s final say rather than Mikey tradey pants. 90% of the scouting department hasn’t changed.
holy crap that is a long article!

Wyoming, I hope that the decision makers make better decisions.
I was responding to your post of “let’s hope the research crew is better than what we had”
it is MOSTLY the same crew was my only point.
Any perceivable difference will most likely come from the coaching / scheme change. IMO
I am not a fan of the Grier pick and I am on record saying I’m not a fan of Flores and trying to copy “the patriot way”
it’s been two decades and no one has been able to do it yet.
but I can only wait and see right now so
wait and see, root for positive change.
They already doomed themselves though.
They re-signed Denney.
It’s about making the right calls — not passing on Drew Brees twice, picking Gronk and not Misi, picking T.J. Watt rather than Charles Harris, picking Dallas Goedert rather than Mike Gesicki, picking Ziggy Ansah over Dion Jordan and on and on.
—————-
If any other team had taken Brady, it’s likely he’d never have amounted to much, let alone win an SB.
It’s not just about who you select. That player has to fit in with what you’re trying to do, and the coaches have to put them in a situation that works for the player and the team.
With our shitty QBs and coaches, if we had drafted Gronk he may have been a JAG.
Now take a guy like Minkah, and he’ll fit in with any scheme.
Why should anyone take a failed GMs opinion?
Yeah im not sure a former GM who has no vested interest in a teams future should be a truted source of suggestions lol.
I was really psyched about getting Raekwon and all the pre-season hype about his leadership, etc up until he blew his knee on the first play of his NFL career. He was disappointing his second season while still coming back from the knee injury. Now I am holding out hope again. Fingers crossed!
Good article
https://www.lockedondolphins.com/dolphins/raekwon-mcmillan-miamis-front-seven-lynchpin/
Last year essentially was a rookie year and our DC didnt really have a cohesive strategy. I think i can give him a pass for last year. He did start coming along last year towards the end so it could be a matter of him finally getting up to NFL speed.
yeah, as the article I posted the link to says, he came on towards the 2nd half of the season. I hope the ^^ trend continues.
“Merely 13 months removed from the ACL injury, McMillan led all NFL linebackers in run stops (PFF stat for stops within two yards of the LOS) from week-five to the end of the 2018 season”.
“I’m not a fan of Flores and trying to copy “the patriot way”…it’s been two decades and no one has been able to do it yet.”
Rock — That is one interesting and good point. What they do has been out there on tape and in roster/draft moves for more than a decade. And a lot of their coordinators have moved on to try it elsewhere as HCs as well. That not much success by itself should be a golden ticket into the HOF for the evil genius. Yeah he has had Brady….. but it is more than that.
it’s because Belicheat sold his soul down at the cross roads.
Brady went down for the year with a blown knee, Castle gets them 11 wins and they get draft picks for Castle, Castle gets a big contract and then slides back into a backup roll.
I think it is more Belicheat than it is Brady, who IMO is a very good system QB. Take TB out of NE system and he is not the HOF QB he is today. (Again IMO)
The whole Flores hire just felt like grasping for straws to me. Yeah, he was around NE for a while, but Patricia called plays the year before him. He had only one year as a “coordinator” without ever, you know, ACTUALLY being a coordinator.
I hope I’m wrong, but I feel like we are going to be hitting the reset button again 3 years from now.
Al Groh

Bryan Flores?
I hope you are wrong too. But get the concern. Same time, Flores least says what you want to hear and the reports are good. Plus he did keep a job (and different ones) under the evil one for all those years. So he is at least a capable coach.

Miami Dolphins Sign Ricardo Louis
Now that begs the question
Who is Ricardo Louis?
(answer: training camp legs)
He has been on our team before, at least on our PS if i remember correctly.
We finally signed someone from the Browns Super squad!
Yah!
Had a couple drinks with a Pats fan last week. Told him whoever first came up with the “evil genius” was right times 2. Got a laugh. His reply was his brother lives in the same town as Belichick where the running joke is you’d never know it cause noone ever sees him. Maybe he just holes up and watches tape during the offseason.

There are a bunch that ya missed too, and i see your point, you have to pick good, but hindsight is always gona look that way. The Dion Jordan pick, yeah it blew up in our face. Still the value of that trade was HUGELY in our favor, we gave up almost nothing to move up several spots. The pick busted, but the trade was a good one. Also, Dion Jordan was on everyone’s radar, Philly was going to take him if we didnt move up and get him. Its not like we are stupid and had been high on a guy that no one else liked, we were high on a guy everyone else was also high on.
Goedert over Gesicki, i know how you feel about it, but Gesicki was considered to be a better offensive weapon. That what they were looking for when they made the selection. Im not surprised they made the selection even though i kinda felt the same as you did about him being less appealing than Joedirt.
Harris over Watt was the right choice too. It hasnt turned out that way, but comparing the two prospects, their game footage showed a guy who has an insane set of speed moves. He left players looking just stupid. He was arguably the best pass rusher outside of Myles Garrett, and maybe Derek Barnett. Barnett was the guy i liked the best and he was off the board by the time we picked.
Misi over Gronk, i dunno what our needs were that draft, but all of our other picks were defense and one OL, so we obviously didn’t have intentions of taking a TE.
I guess what im saying is, Mando is preaching about shit that cant be known until it happens and you are looking back and calling foul. Thats cheap and he knows better or should.
So you guys are playing the hindsight game today. That’s always fun. LOL
To add to the bad picks. Could have had Keuchley over Tannehill and Cousins in the third that year.
And at one point we could have have Brady in the 6th…. or maybe 5th if the Pats were ahead of us that year. Can promised you I was rooting for us to take him in the 4th — was that sure of him. 🙂
I’ll say this about the QB crop of this draft and next year’s draft. Sure, it’s possible that next year’s draft has more talent, but I don’t believe that there still aren’t 3-4 QB’s worthy of taking in the 1st RD in this year’s draft. I maintain that if Haskins is there at #13, we should thank the football Gods, just like we did in 1983 when Dan Marino was there at #27. Is it possible that we’re the worst team in the NFL this season? Sure, it’s possible, and boy, sounds like a great time to have the #1, 2 or 3 pick with Herbert, Tua and Fromm in that draft. Think of the draft capital we can get and how nice it would be to already have our QB ready to play and in our system for a season? WINNING!

Just heard a report on the radio that the Dolphins, Giants, Redskins and Chargers have inquired about Josh Rosen. Good call Stanger!
If only instead of “Good call Stanger”….. it was they were “Calling Stanger.” I’d hand the phone over to GM Prof Lou. 🙂
A few years back, in a bad QB year, all the QBs flopped in the NFL, as they did that year in the Sr. Bowl.
D, how were the QBs in this years Sr. Bowl?
From what i saw and heard told to me by a buddy, they all looked ok, ups and down. Lock had the best overall showing during practices, showed more high end potential, but others would have moments that looked really good. A guy im seeing brought up around here a lot recently, i think by BBM, Gardner Minshew had probably the worst of the QB, but even he had some high points. I think Tyree Jackson came out with the most buzz around him going from a relatively unknown guy except for his freakish physical characteristics, to someone people i think could see raw potential in. Grier looked really good but didnt have as much zip on the passes he threw when he didn’t plant his feet, but was seen as throwing nice passes when he did get that amount of time.
It wouldn’t be optimal, but would it be the worst thing in the world if we drafted a QB this year and next with our 1st rounders? QBs ARE highly valued commodities in the NFL.
If you take a QB in the 1st this year and then next year it doesn’t show much conviction for the guy you drafted this year.
I think it shows that you are expecting them both to fight to do their best every year and earn their place, then when a defined winner has emerged, you could start thinking about trading one. Still i dont think you take the one in 2020 if you are happy with the one from 2019. You may still select a QB, but it would be to add depth.
Randy — I say keep talking one till you find the right one. The ones that you know aren’t “the guy” then become trade bait for at least some back. But then I want to spend a 2nd on the Cardinals guy that they decided was not the guy.
The Rosen situation is different because it’s a new staff coming in the year after he was drafted. If we draft one this year and then next year why did we draft one this year? It shows you’re not sure about him. That’s not a good practice.
If Rosen showed like Marino…. sorta of thinking they would be designing the offense around him rather than using their #1 #1 on another QB. Still want Rosen though.
Tim,
Screw conviction. I want an elite QB. If it takes me 2 1st round picks to get one, why not? Lol
****
Actually, what I was thinking is that if we did draft, let’s say, a Haskins this year….and he didn’t pan out or look like he was gonna be the guy, wouldn’t be so terrible to draft another QB next year? Again, it wouldn’t be great, but the position is so important, is spending 2 picks to try to find that guy so terrible? Teams give up multiple 1st round draft picks to go get a guy. How would this be any different….except we’d have 2 guys. I’m just spitballing here.
I’ve listened to many discussions about this with coaches and GMs and they all said that’s not a good practice. It means you didn’t have conviction on the first guy you took and is one season enough to determine he didn’t pan out? Obviously it’s an opinion but it’s one I subscribe to. I wouldn’t do it if I was calling the shots.
Randy — I’m right with you on that. So if you are spitballing I have a straw in my mouth at the ready. And if you really hit on a guy…. actually increases the trade value of the one who was not (so long as he is still young).
Tim,
Couldn’t it mean you HAD conviction on him when you drafted him, but he didn’t show what you were hoping he would in practice and meetings….so you decided to go another way after gaining more information? I certainly wouldn’t tie my hands because a guy’s feelings may be hurt.
That means you blew that pick and it only took one season to convince you. That’s really bad scouting.
Can any of you show one example of a team drafting a QB in the 1st rd two years in a row? I’m not saying it never happened, I just can’t think of one.
Tim,
Yeah, but the QB position is a crap shoot anyway. I’m just saying IF it happened, would it be so horrible to spend your first on another QB next year? Everyone keeps saying we gotta get one this year…or wait until next year. I’m saying; maybe we can get one BOTH years.
I know what you’re saying. I don’t subscribe to that practice. That’s all.
stanger,
Spitballing is a blast. As long as you don’t get one in the eye. Lol
Tim,
Do you wanna be just like everybody else….or do you wanna be special? Lol
No but I don’t want to be stupid either. LOL
Baltimore Colts did it in 1982 and 1983— Art Schlichter and John Elway.
Okay but that didn’t work out so well did it? LOL

Son, That is how I mocked it that year except I took Cousins in the 2nd.
Re: Durval Queiroz Neto, What if we were to sign him to our regular PS and not as a “Pathway Player”? Would we be able to do that instead or does it have to be that way? Is he here via the program just as a way to gain experience and learn and not really a Dolphin? Just asking cause I have never heard of this program and how it works before.

__________________________________________________________
LOL who’d of thunk that ! a new approach to the problem.
some say let’s build a foundation first but isn’t that what we’ve always tried to do along the OL and DL?? Jake Long…merling…Odrick…Jerry….pouncey…jon martin….dion jordan…b albert..suh..
Tell ’em Randy and Rob! We could draft OL and DL all day, but until we get the QB, we’re just a team w/o a QB!
So because it didn’t work out in the past for us the trenches are now unimportant? With that sort of thinking then you look at the bust QBs taken in the 1st round and you shouldn’t take one because of that. LOL
Not sure you’re really understanding the problem with drafting QBs in the 1st in back to back years. Once you draft the second one, the previous QB knows you don’t believe in him. The entire team wonders if the FO knows what it’s doing, and the first QB’s value just depreciated by a lot because you’re telling the rest of the league you don’t believe in him. And doing this does not guarantee you the second QB pans out either. It’s a dumb approach.
I hope we draft kickers, punters, and long snappers with every pick this year so every single person on this board can be wrong at the same time!
Not sure if would double down on them, but still sounds like a good plan to me. 🙂
2nd guy from the AAF. Sounds like they are looking for the guys with desire. And if you want an NFL roster spot — what better team to come to?
Exactly! He has a great chance to play here. Hey maybe we get a late bloomer who took the long road to success in the NFL ala Cam Wake. 🙂

there has been an odd change in the logic of the mock draft simulator the past few days. I know it is based upon the “big boards” developed by other people, but I switch up which boards I use and I have had Murray sitting there at 13 way more than a statistical anomaly. Did he get caught wearing a gas mask or something that I missed on the news/
Maybe people started realizing he’s a 1-year wonder
He’s not graded as the #1 talent on many boards. He’s projected to go #1 because of Kingsbury and ARZ.

AND the back-flip, to boot! This guy is hopefully what we thought Jordan Phillips would be for us.
I also agree with Rock about Grier, being there 15 years, and our scouting department. It’s not about consensus, it’s about doing your homework and finding the right players. Then, coaching them up. Lot’s of failure/bad decisions over decades.
Evaluating talent with the same group concerns me, as well.
It’s not like we never drafted a good player. Grier has his job for this long because he’s good at it. You can’t climb down the tree and blame the 3rd or 4th guy for everything that happened in the past. What about the additions of Allen and McKenzie? Same group? Same coaching staff? Jim Caldwell from outside the Pats org. was a great hire.
You guys are searching for negatives. Just go for the ride and see what it is rather than telling your soul it already sucks. LOL
I don’t think I blamed Grier to be sure. I wonder if our eyes (scouts) need to be upgraded. That’s his job.
I’m not searching for negatives, but aspiring to superlatives.

Sounds like you buried your wick in Grandma. LOL
Orob, besides Ben being there they’ve (Pitt) just recently drafted both Josh Dobbs and Mason Rudolph with fairly high picks. We have an entire stable of undrafted Quarterbacks. The position is our biggest problem and the answer is sitting there in this draft. Haskins is the real deal.
If he falls to us why if he’s the real deal? Asking for a friend. LOL
He’s not falling to us.
If Cards, Giants, Denver and Cincy go QB there won’t even be one for us.
ehhhhhh he’s a buckeye
He transcends Buckeye’dness. Peyton went to freaking Tennessee.
I wouldn’t rule out Devin White at 13, similar reasons to draft as Minkah ie; special player.
Good point
Lol…I can’t even keep up….sorry
A GILF Tim? Really? LOL
LMAO!!! I just wanted to see how you or anyone reacted to a bizarre post. LOL
If Clelin Farrell and Christian Wilkins are both there at 13 you almost have to take Ferrell despite Wilkins probably being the better prospect because we have like only 2 ends.
Ferrell is also pretty versatile
Holy crap!
That’s a tough way to get dinner!
I’ve witnessed the exact same problem since our ’04 campaign: NO O-LINE.
We could have the overall first round draft pick this year and screw it up by drafting a QB… being we can’t (and haven’t been able to, since ’04) protect the franchise investment.
I’ve seen many highly-rated college QBs come and go (on many NFL teams), being they were thrown to the fire behind a weak-azz O-Line.
I do believe that Parcells had it right in drafting Jake Long over Matt Ryan… being we had no O-Line to begin with. Matt Ryan would have DIED behind our O-Line, had we drafted him in the ’08 Draft.
I call bullshit on the whole premise – no offense but I do.
Tannehill didn’t suck because of our Oline. He just sucks. Look at the passes he did throw. Missed wide open guys routinely, sometimes never even saw uncovered receivers, crap line calls, never getting out of bad plays, poor placement negating big plays, inability to bail on plays and taking stupid sacks, couldn’t/didn’t use the middle of the field, never ever walked the team down the field when opportunities to win games were there and it goes on and on.
Good QB’s make good Olines more often than good Olines making a QB good.
Just got posted a few minutes ago (check the time stamp)…
Parcells wanted Pat White instead of Matt Ryan. Is he
But this is what I talked of before.
First round Ryan did well , second round white did not
We drafted a first round OL, and had a second round QB, didn’t work out at all
Parcells found out the hard way a first round OL doesn’t mean shit if Younhave no quarterback.
Jake was a good pick for a team that already had a QB, or plannned to get one.
And the argument of better blocking doesn’t wash, because Jake couldn’t do anything to prevent white getting hit in the head out of bounds
I’m watching hostile planet on NatGeo and they just showed the scene above and I swear I looked like my Avi when I watched it. HOLY CRAP
fell a couple of hundred feet bouncing off of boulders and never let go of the prize
Today I went into cardiac arrest and flatlined from a wasp stinger stuck inside my right eye
I’ve been stung many times , usually doesn’t bother Me, but this one stung my eye. And had me fighting for life.
Doctor says I’m fine now, so I convinced him to let me go home and rest .
But lesson learned, if wasp stings You, remove the stinger asap if u can, and seek medical help.
Don’t try to be tough guy, that makes it worse.
Benedryl fast. The eye goes straight into the blood stream a lot quicker too.
Not doubting you but wasp stingers do not detach so you will never have to remove a wasp’s stinger. Bees yes, wasp / hornet, no. Different anatomies
It was a black stinger, so I thought a wasp. Florida has so many bugs, who knows unless u see it
Yep, very true
David, you’d better keep an anti-serem on-hand, Brah.
Sorry, an antidote.
This is the first time anything like this happened, it was such a freak event, if the wasp song Me anywhere but the eye, I would have been fine
I didn’t die because I fought with God, told him my family wasn’t ready for thiis.
I felt no more pain, and I immediately knew why.
I prayed to God, if You want Me, I’m Yours’ but please don’t hurt my family. Let me be there for them until they no longer need me, then I will give up
GAME OF THRONES RETURNS THIS SUNDAY
l
Deadliest Catch starts tomorrow
The last two Oline we drafted in the first round they let walk anyway so what’s the point.
Between Long, Pouncey and James we should have expected 30-40 years of combined service. We got about 15.
Besides Tunsil I meant
DAVID CARR SYNDROME
Like PTSD for football players

I call bullshit on the whole premise – no offense but I do…
———–
NO offense taken, bud… but I think we’re going to half to disagree on this one, or at least split hairs.
Now, I AM with you that a great QB can mitigate a lesser O-Line, but we’ve not really had a great QB since Danaldo Marinagnus. However, our O-Lines have SUCKED over the last 15 years. I mean, we haven’t really given our QBs a chance. Don’t want to see a rookie having to come in, developing DCS*.
That list of best pass blocking lines also featured most of the best QB’s at the top that’s not an accident. Guys who know where to go with the football.
Tannehill was so bad he has everyone all messed up. We need a real Quarterback.
I cannot disagree with ya on that one point (Tannehill), Brother. Nevertheless, we need to have a decent O-Line.
Factor this: some of the best pass-rushers in the game today come over the Right Tackle position. We NEED a solid Right Tackle to complement Laremy Tunsil, and I don’t care who’s our QB.
Gonna go back to sleep. Yo guys keep He vigilance up for a QB, lol gboodniyte
Be well, David!
And be happy you live in America. Had this happened to you in a socialist country, you might be dead now. *THINK* about that.
M, I do agree we need some Oline talent obviously but I believe the best way to build a good Oline is to start with a competent QB that’s all.
I totally understand where you’re coming from, man… and I certainly don’t disagree with you in any way.
Son,
One last thing… I get the sense that you think I’m funkin’ with ya regarding Dwayne Haskins. I’m NOT! I think I’d SPRINT to the podium to sign him, should he fall to us. Of course, I don’t think he’ll fall to us. Somebody is taking him before we select, and that includes a trade-up from another team.
I agree there’s no way he’s falling to us. Difference is that I’d go get him. Just like I would have gone and got DeShaun.
I hear ya! And something I’ve learned? You’ve got an exceptionally keen eye. I just can’t do that (trading up) in this rebuilding year: BPA @ R1P13 is all but mandated. We’ll see!
son,
You obviously missed the memo. Tannehill was a top 5-10 QB. It was just that everybody around him held him back! Poor bastard never had a chance.
I still can’t believe we gave him yet another 5 million it baffles my mind. I would have fired his ass way long ago. A 4 th for 5 mill is just crap and a waste.
H-A-T-E-R-S!!!
So Grier is the new whipping boy before the season starts?
My view on why he’s still here is because he was probably the only guy in the room that was getting it right, but being overruled. That’s just my hunch on why our terrible owner kept him around giving him more power as well.
YUP! I agree!
I totally agree. I think he was the only one to say out loud that Tannehill sucks.
71,428 per point (70 for 16th pick in the 4th round)
Pick 1 would cost 21,444,000 to buy at that price.
Browns paid 18 mil for a 2nd with the osweler deal
Blah Blah Blah!
Wake me up when we take the best DE and not a QB!
David man are you jivin us Bro?
anaphylactic shock was it?
nothin to play with … keep benadryl handy from now on.
Plus get an epipen
you’ll never be safe again.
Once you’ve activated that response , you more likely to have it again.
Here’s hoping for your speedy recovery.,
Ricardo Lewis too

Dolphins were so determined to sign these two San Antonio LBs today before they left the building that they got them to cancel multiple other NFL visits this week: https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/barry-jackson/article228987314.html …

Dolphins agree to terms with defunct league’s best pass rusher
The Dolphins on Monday hosted a visit with outside linebacker Jayrone Elliott, a former Green Bay Packers played who led the defunct Alliance of American Football in sacks.

Need some DE’s on the roster because we’re drafting a QB in RD1 baby!
I kind of agree with Son about OL
Do you guys remember the days when we used to say draft a guy and plug him in for a decade?
We haven’t been doing that
I tend to think that’s a trend around the NFL
Between Long, James and Pouncey we’ve left a lot of years on the table when they moved on to another team
I don’t want to draft a RT at 13 only to hve to replace him in 5 years
If on the other hand we draft a QB at 13, I would be all for the next couple of picks being OL
If we drafted a QB in the 2nd round, same thing…
I don’t mind drafting OL at all
But drafting a guy to handle the RT spot for 5 years while we try to figure out the other positions – that doesn’t really make sense to me
It’s also a good draft defensively up front
So we might get a better player at 13 if we take a defensive player
The thing about OL is, if you aren’t building a cohesive unit – 5 guys that work together, then it doesn’t matter if you bring in 1 or 2 guys that are high draft picks

Piggy You’re right the Heat does get their 2019 1st rnder…now all we need is a ping pong ball to land ZION.
****
Yeah I liked it up
We have a 1st rounder this year and next year
I think I’m ‘21 we don’t have any picks – from the dragic trade
The nba is so weird about future picks
There are pretty good prospects in the top 5
It would be amazing to land Zion
But that’s like 1 in a million or something
regarding drafting a QB at 13…Grier has said his focus is on the trenches this year…what that tells me is..if lock or haskins is there at 13 one of them will be a dolphin….smoke and mirrors
or they really could be waiting for Tua
I mentioned yesterday. Say we draft Haskins at #13. We play Fitz most of the season and let Haskins learn. Next year, we should be in great draft position, probably top 5, and with all those QB’s like Tua, Fromm, Herbert, teams will want to trade up in that area to get those QB’s. At that point we can bring in a bounty of draft capital, AND have our QB ready to play in 2020 who already knows the system. That’s a good place to be.
great plan!
And if Haskins hasnt been making us comfortable with that pick, we can pick another guy.
I don’t think some of these AAF players we are signing are just camp bodies. They have some real upside and they have some NFL experience. When Jayrone Elliott was at GB he was behind some good LB’s put played well when he was in there. Not sure what happened in Dallas or NO but our staff likes something about him. I think they are looking everywhere they can to improve roster depth.
I agree. I saw San Antonio’s first game, those Lbs were all over the field.
I agree with Pig on the OL theory of getting 5 guys to gel. I also agree with the QB making the OL better, by being competent back there. Peyton and Brady did this, so do guys like Newton, RG3 and even Lamar Jackson.
It sure would be nice to get Haskins at 13 and know he’s the franchise QB, while sucking in 2019 only to trade out of #1 to get a king’s randsome.
It’s all about the future this year.
Don’t Ireland (fuck) it up Grier.
