Some of you regulars here have been doing mock drafts for 7 months or so and have probably done hundreds each. Guess what? That day is actually here, so that means no more mock drafts for at least 6 months. What’s more important than that is we will get a glimpse as to how this organization will be run by GM Chris Grier, and the new staff of Head Coach Brian Flores. Unfortunately, the team can’t be rebuilt in just one draft and undoubtedly, some will be frustrated with what they choose to address in this first draft of the rebuild process. Rome wasn’t built in one day and either will our team.
My impression from the regulars here at finsmobunleashed is that the majority of you feel we should and will address the trenches, OL and DL first, and then go on from there. Most of you know me and know that I disagree with that. No position on the field is more important than the QB, and since we don’t have a QB (please don’t tell me that stop gap Ryan Fitzpatrick is our QB), we need to finally get that franchise QB. If I haven’t heard a thousand times “Tank for Tua” I haven’t heard it once. We’re not tanking, it’s a long process taking a team apart and then filling the roster in the guise of the GM and Head Coach together. We Dolphins fans should know this well, we’ve been doing some form of this for the last couple of decades (without success I must say).
You all know I want a QB, and that QB is Dwayne Haskins. Yes, I’m aware he only played 1 year, but I feel that’s overblown. Either the guy has it, or he doesn’t. He understands football concepts. He has above average arm talent, with not only the ability to put NFL pace on the ball but NFL touch as well. Yes, he doesn’t run well (fast), but I want my QB throwing TD’s, not diving for the endzone and getting clobbered like Carson Wentz. I love his delivery, and I give O Rob props for noticing that it’s similar to Dan Marino. Relax . . . The way he squares his shoulders and drives the ball with his hips reminds me of Marino. Maybe because he was throwing to receivers like Duper and Clayton helped him, I’m sure it did, as Parris Campbell, Terry Mclaurin and Johnnie Dixon made up a fearsome group of WR’s.
I know some of you will disagree. We can get the best OL in this draft, and what does that give us? Tunsil is up and coming and becoming one of the better LT’s in football, and say we draft Jawaan Taylor, so now we have a legit set of bookends. Still a huge void at QB. So you’re thinking build up those trenches even more, so we take a DE/LB pass rusher in RD 2, and then a DT in RD 3. Some of you want to window dress your mocks and justify them with a 6th RD QB and say we addressed the QB position. Well, maybe you did, but it’s pretty unlikely.
Next year has at the moment 3 highly touted QB’s that will be in the 2020 NFL Draft. Tua Tagovailoa, Justin Herbert and possible Jake Fromm if he comes out after his Junior season at Georgia. If we draft our QB for the future now (Haskins), and we finish this season in the top 5 for next year’s draft, which is very likely due to the lack of talent here, we could be sitting in a place of high demand come April of 2020. Just imagine Fitz plays most of the season, and then somewhere around game 14 we give Haskins his first game action and after learning behind the veteran Fitz, Haskins acquits himself very nicely and continues to do so for the next 2 games. So now we have our franchise QB ready for 2020, and we’re sitting at #1 – #3 in the 2020 NFL Draft. I see multiple draft picks coming our way, and I mean multiple ones and 2’s. Y’all want to rebuild, THAT’S how you do it!
Anyhow . . . I can dream. Enjoy your draft day, I hope we get what you want, or something that makes you just as happy! GO DOLPHINS!
Another few players I hope we’re interested in . . . DT Dexter Lawrence, DE/LB Chase Winovich , OL Tytus Howard, DE Charles Omenihu, DE Justin Hollins, CB Michael Jackson (2 gloves!), OL Yodny Cajuste

He’s gonna be awesome
Are we happy with this guy?
He’s a good player
I just hate that we passed on Haskins
That’s the man who will be fining you Wilkins
STOP THE RUN
I’m happy with the pick

Great player, just one who can’t throw TD’s. 🙂
2 years in a row our pick is in a white suit.
Message to Tom Brady every team in the division took a DT
Kewl he’s our new Fullback too 😊
Trade with Atlanta!
Get your QB???????
SB, we always represent.
Good pick, we need the help
Brian Burns to the Falcons or maybe Dex Lawrence or Montez Sweat?
I love the pick.
I love Wilkins, sorry about Haskins but I was torn anyway. This guy will be fun to watch.

You KNOW it, buddy!!! HELL YEAH!!!
We could have Rosen in our pocket already???????????????
I think I’d notice if Rosen was in my pocket
Well they must have their reasons for passing on him, I’ll go with that
Falcons: Chris Lindstrom
Dbolt was pretty close to the mark!
Falcons blow it.

True, did we get the best one?
We got a really good one
add him to spence godchow and taylor
Haskins here
Seems the recent revelations of Montez Sweat really do have teams concerned.
This team wont be fixed with this draft. It’s a marathon not a sprint. Build this team right.
Mike E I think Wilkins can throw TDs.
Oh wait Gase is gone.
LOL
Dbolt was right abiut Lindstrom
Now go get me Risner or Little!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice pick. Smart kid.
DLINE? –CHECK!!
O-LINE? –Round 2 unless Grier is still on the board.
QB? –the kid from Mizzou may still be around in round 3. DOUBT that Grier will still be there.
——————-
Blue Jackets and Bruins headed into first OT tied 2-2. These hockey playoffs have been CRAZY1
Go Jackets .. hate the Bruins
Lindstrom was a name I saw mocked to us a bunch ..
Weren’t the Giants, Dolphins and Redskins the 3 teams who called about Rosen? Let’s see what Washington does here.
Curious to see if Ferguson makes it to tomorrow?
good point … so far things are set up well for us to get a really good DE in round 2.
Like the pick! We may have had trade offers but with all the DL going, I am sure they did not want to risk getting their guy. Him running and catching the ball just shows how much of an athlete the big is. Next up, OL and DE.
I don’t think you are joking about Wilkins playing FB, but only in special situations.
He has blocked on the goal line and run it in as well.
They were showing him on offense carrying for TDS and mentioned can even catch well
Haskins to the skins?
Ha-Skins…..makes sense
And the winners are…
Want/Get
Pig – Haskins/Ferrell
Wyoming – Josh Allen/ Wilkins
stanger — Haskins/Tytus Howard (after trade down).
BailBondMike – Ed Oliver/Josh Allen — trade back a little for Wilkins
Mike E – Haskins/Haskins
ORob — Haskins/ Wilkins
NewAge- Haskins/ Ferrell
Rock – Josh Allen / Ferrell
Tim – QB they like / Wilkins
ER – Allen / Wilkins
Prof Lou- Simmons/Simmons
Dbolt- trade down Lindstrom / Wilkins
M13- Josh Allen/Ferrell
son – Haskins / Jones
Pretty convinced now that Jones was the QB they liked most
Redskins: Dwayne Haskins
Ha-SKINS
HaSKINS
Grier in the third
Rosen in the pocket 😊
Minschew in the 5th
Dan “Deep Pockets” Snyder just played EVERYONE.
LOL SB – Here ya are
So that means Miami is the only one of the 3 teams that inquired about Rosen that did not draft a QB, not that other teams won’t inquire once the value goes down.
Curious isn’t it???????
Yep, no competition. Give them a third rounder
Rosen is toast in Arizona, so some team is going to get him in a trade.
Could be us.
Grier won’t make it to the third
We went need but we most certainly went BPA as well. What a great addition to Minkah from last year
Panthers: Brian Burns
I predict brian Burns to the Panthers.
Well done boys
Of all the Clemson DL in this draft Wilkins was the only one I would have been happy with. I’m weary of Clemson DL but Wilkins proved he was the guy all year and then, we he needed to step up in the last two games without Lawrence next to him, he did it and dominated in the middle.
We got ourselves a good one. Haskins would have been nice but I can’t argue with building the trenches, especially with the defensive minds we’ve got. We can still get our qb.
Leaving Haskins on the board hurts less because of the player Wilkins is so it’s not like we took a dud this guy can play
Giants OL
Sweat to the Giants?
I think so or WR
They deserve him!
So Wilkins and Goodell . . . Charge or Block?
oK, i am content at this point. I don’t want to wake up are read any surprises from Miami.
Nogtih all
Trade beck up for Taylor!
Wilkins was given the award for smartest football player in America.
I love everything about this pick and this strategy!!!! BPA matches need, imo.
I want an office full of stress balls
Going DL instead of OT was a good move, it may tend to improve our draft position next year

16- Panthers: Brian Burns
Well our staff said they want smart players
Sweat or a WR
Solid pick
Giants go for Metcalf? Sweat would also make sense, but covering the sting of losing Odell might push them to do WR.
PLUS a big target for the rookie QB.
Giants: Dexter Lawrence
great pick but I did not see it coming.
Bob’s big boy
And there goes the 3rd Clemson DL
How does that feel?
Want Haskins/get Wilkins,
3 Clemson DL in top 17, wow
Vikes really need OL
Pretty incredible that 3 Clemson D-Linemen went in the top 17 picks! And who is our new D-Line coach? YEAH!!!
A bunch of you called exactly who exactly who we would get.

That Viking dude used to live 5 mins from my house
Vikings: Garrett Bradbury
Titans DB..
No DB’s or WR’s yet
Just exactly how far will Montez Sweat fall?
I hope he’s gone before our next pick!
Just say no!
Taylor must have told the teams to FO in his interviews????????????
Surprised Taylor hasn’t been picked????
jeez I sound like a broken record … Taylor OT or Fant or Metcalf or Sweat?
Titans: Jeffery Simmons
Shit draft #57 on the right of your screen!
Big run on DL this draft
I fuckin forgot all about that guy Simmons.

I think I should quit now. Sorry so drunk.
All good! You don’t seem to be drunk!
Ol or Fant
Great pick. If Grier really is old school and doesn’t like 1 yr QBs, then this was probably the best pick we could have made. Instant space eater and we may finally be able to stop the run. He bullied Bama a few months ago and I see him bullying NFL OL for a solid 10-15 years.
Bronco’s still get Lock?
And how far is Jawaan Taylor going to fall???
Far enough to have Risner available to us in the 2nd!
I hope!
Broncos: Noah Fant
Naples we called his name enough we finally got it right

Makes sense to me, man! Either he, or Rock-Ya-Soul* 😀
Randy has to be feeling pretty good ‘night! 2 Hawkeye TEs selected in the 1st round? Unprecedented!
