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
#staythecourse
Green Bay traded up
Pretty sure AZ has no choice but to trade Rosen to us
Taylor ? Houston was gonna take him next in my books
I’m thinking Ximines has to be one of our picks tomorrow. That would be a really good haul for us on the defensive side.
Packers: Darnell Savage
Interesting
They didn’t know who savage was ….lol
You have to root for a kid like Wilkins. He’s just got that type of personality. I’m glad he’s on our team.
OK I admit it!
I don’t know shit about player evaluation!!!!!!!!!!!!

Eagles trade up
Block or charge?
Lol
Actually I think the next 25 have almost the same grade!
I wonder how much it would cost to move up to the 1st and take Taylor
Houston takes him next pick
Maybe we do get a great CB available in the 2nd???????
I would rather take OL or edge
I would too!
But I’ll stay with BPA in this fire drill!!!!!!!!i

Dillard before Taylor?

Lesbian haircut scaring off all NFL teams
oh well … i wanted dillard.
Man, I can’t believe that Jawaan Taylor is still on the board!
Piggy – Where is the dude on the left in that pic’s hands? WTF is going on there?
Looking for Colonpokey
Looks like a hernia examination
That’s the welcome to Miami colonoscopy
Houston needs protection for Watson so maybe this is the time for the OT Taylor.
Would anyone be upset with Drew Lock in the 2nd?
please no
We need 2 pass rushers and a RT and a LG before we need a QB.
But you might be right in your prediction of him dropping right out of round 1.
Do you think Lock goes to New England? or Denver in round 2?
I have no idea Naples.
Texans: Tytus Howard
Mike E
You going to be OK with no QB selected?
I’m going to have to man. It’s not the way I would have done it, but I’ll have to live with it.
WOW?
Taylor must have jerked off in the interviews????
“Oh, I’m supposed to wear pants to these interviews?”
It’s still be reported that we are talking to the Cardinals concerning a possible trade for Rosen. With ALL teams being taken out of the mix for a Rosen trade the market has dried up completely and there’s a feeling we’re going to make the trade and it’s going to be a good deal for us.
I like it!

Raiders next 2 picks will be 2 of Jacobs, Greedy, or Brown WR
very good list of possibles

———–
JMO, but yes… I would be. He’s not that good.
Strange fact, but Josh Rosen would be the 3rd Jewish QB to be on the Miami Dolphins roster (Fiedler and Rosenfels)
I can’t decide whether to be stoke about the talent remaining?
Or
Disappointed in myself, for being a dumb ass?????
LOL, don’t sweat it, man! The Draft is NOT an exact science! It’s more of a crap shoot, to be honest!
It was definitely tongue in cheek! 😉
So now we can get away with a 4th for Rosen.
Raiders: Josh Jacobs
They was pretty obvious since Marshawn is retiring.
Agreed!
Getting Rosen for a 4th RD pick would be nice, provided he’s not ready to quit.
That would be a steal. I am not a fan of his, but it’s a no risk situation
You have to admit that if we were to come out of this with our franchise qb in a trade, a top DT and a pretty good DE you wouldn’t be unhappy about that. Ximines will be one of the guys we target tomorrow. Don’t know if it’s in 2nd or 3rd, probably needs to be the 2nd, but if he’s there he’s ours.
LOL
what? they spent a ton of time with him and they usually take guys they spent time with. plus, he’s as good as anyone who will be there.
Chase winovich would be a good pick for us
So would Taylor or ford if they continue to drop

There is that!
Sweat to Ravens ?
Man if we could have cornered the market on Josh Allen’s!!!!!!!!!!!!
RIGHT!!! 😀
If I had to do a comp for Wilkins it would be Fletcher Cox
Is that good?
Yes!
Mike E
Making fun of you will never feel as good as being right!
But it will have to do, I guess? 😉
It’s all we got left right now.
Actually both of our guy’s were there!

M – Thanks for keeping up with the picks man!
My pleasure, sir!
And in turn, I thank our Brother Naples for doing as much during our FMU mock draft last week.
Don’t you know Prime Time is looking at that little receiver saying I’d Whoop your Ass boy!!!!!!
He wouldn’t whip his ass, but he’d definitely shut his ass down and probably step in front of a couple and snare a couple of picks

You and I absolutely agree on Ximines. I’m LOL at all of your other predictions going up in smoke!
I don’t care about any of that. I just want to see us have a productive draft. I’m not into swinging my dick anymore. I can understand why Wilkins was graded as one of their 5 elite defenders in this draft and if they keep going with that mentality we should do pretty well.
Alright, I hear ya now, my friend! I feel the same way, too!
Alright!!!!! LOL
Goodnight folks! GO DOLPHINS!
Peace, Mike E!
May you QB dreams be productive!

If you look at one of the reasons we took Wilkins, intelligence, it’s probably one of the biggest reasons we’re interested in Rosen is because he was considered the smartest qb in last year’s draft.

Well I’m out for the night!
Gonna have Fatty dreams for tomorrow!!!!!!
Go phins !!
I have a feeling it will come out at our 3rd rd pick that the Rosen trade was done by Rd 2 tonight if not done earlier .. thus we won’t have a 3rd pick
Winovich
Deiter
Ford
Some good players in the 2nd that can help us
Go Fatty’s!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m audi for the night as well!
GREAT JOB, CHRIS GRIER!!!
GO CHRISTIAN WILKINS!!!
GO PHINS!!!
HELL YEAH!!!
Have a good one sir .. Happy Day 2 to all !!
Here’s to waking up with Rosen as our new QB!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda shocked Taylor didn’t get taken in the first. If we could get him in the second that would be a nice addition. Will Grier made it to the second I’d pick him up. A guy like Ferguson or Miller would be solid passrush olbs in the second
Don’t know what Taylor did or does?
but he must have pissed off everyone!
Lock too it seems. Just noticed he didn’t get taken in the first either

Lock too it seems. Just noticed he didn’t get taken in the first either
————————-
He was always looked at as a semi project?
Guess the GM’s liked the other talent?
don’t ask me! I don’t know shit according to how the draft has went so fa!
He has a live arm and pretty good QB skills. I’m thinking maybe there is something that might not be right with his football IQ that has teams worried. That said a second for him would be a good risk-reward so I think there is still potential we get him but I’m about 50/50 on that being the route we go vs getting Rosen.
A lot of players I didn’t expect to be taken in the first did so a lot of top talent is there in the second. Guess we will see how we proceed. With Lock, Grier, Finley, etc still out there the price for Rosen is dropping like a rock. Will be interesting if we wait until we see if we can snag one of those guys in the second or leverage Rosen for a third
Nice to see the rookie already throwing respect to a guy who was a former adversary. Shows he appreciates what it takes to be a special talent in this league
Yessss!
