The Miami Dolphins got themselves a very nice player in DT Christian Wilkins. Very high character, productive Defensive tackle. You’re probably thinking this is a conformist puff piece, right? NOPE!
So the Dolphins drafted a nice DT, that’s great. Guess what? We may have gotten the 3rd best DT in this draft in our division. Quinnen Williams, who may be the best player in the draft went to the Jets, and Ed Oliver a diversified freak of an athlete went to the Bills. Guess what else? Both of those teams have QB’s. Just shows how far behind the 8 ball we are. I will be watching Dwayne Haskins career closely. He was right there and we passed. I know so many of you are happy we did, and so many of you are happy we drafted Christian Wilkins instead. I’m not that guy.
Sure, there’s a possibility we take a QB in RD 2, or maybe in RD 7, but in my mind, our success or failure will be measured by Dwayne Haskins and Christian Wilkins. We didn’t have to reach for him, there was no trade up necessary, we just went in a different direction.. Look, this doesn’t mean I’m right, it’s just my opinion, and my opinion of this move is not good. Maybe we wait until next year with Tua, Herbert and Fromm, or maybe it’s just Tua and Herbert and Fromm plays his Senior year. Who knows what happens down the line, and it’s very risky putting all your eggs in one basket.
The draft isn’t over yet, I’m not condemning the entire draft of everything we do, I simply don’t agree with the choice they made last night. I hope Christian Wilkins has a great career here and is a perennial All-Pro. I just hope next year at draft time we’re all not scratching our heads about what we do at the QB position, the most important position in football.
Finsmob Unleashed 
14 picks next year so far. Top 10 talent on the DL to stop the run. QB who was a top ten pick last year. Fastest rebuild ever.
14 picks next year? what a coincidence, that’s how many Rosen had last year!
Fabre couldn’t get on the field his rookie year, had an 85 QBR his first year and a 72 QBR his second. Eleanor had a 54.9 QBR his rookie year.
Rosen is a young QB that played on the worse team in the league as a rookie. Give him a chance. If he sucks he cost almost nothing.
Elway also had 14 Picks as a rookie.
I wonder if we’ll try to move up and get an edge guy
I wonder if he’s stalking the fins on Facepage yet?
Lol at facepage
I’d take credit?
But someone said it earlier!
Facegram dammit. Electron cavemen…
14 picks to go
Most of the players I liked at the start of the 2nd are still in the board
Guys killing it, that was kind of genius
Least good poker playing.
If anyone would like to me a favor (Piggy, Tim), if you could please photoshop Josh Rosen in a Miami Dolphins uni please . . . .
Oh I see how it is 😡
I’m a little out of practice Mike

We still have ZERO edge-rushers, and our DBs (as great as they are) can only keep up for so long.
That’s ok!
After we punt 25 times in the first half they will be to tired to line up!
75 plays = 50 TFL
😖
Sorry, Dbolt!!! That sucks!
Did ESPN have it wrong? They listed the Cardinals as getting the 5th next year?
Fins give up the 5th next year…..so it was our 2nd and 2020 5th…..
I have to say, I think a 2020 Draft Party is in order. I think I’m taking that weekend off. Who’s in?

C’mon man, they were terrible. They fired their HC after one season. You have to be abominable to get fired after 1 season.
_____________________________________________
I hope you’re right, the thing is no matter how bad the team is good QBs find a way, they don’t sit back and get pummeled and throw balls up for grabs they adjust and get rid of the ball quickly.
he reminds me of Tannehill
Toba – You photoshop bro? I had no idea. My sincere apologies, I thought you were offering up Piggy and Tim’s services.
Lol there ya go !!!
Man, it amazes me that the media after covering this sport for so long still act like they started following it yesterday. LOL
Ha! Thanks ER.
Toba, I really didn’t know you meant that you could do it. If you would be so kind, I’d appreciate it.
That’s the extent on my skills….
Still think we should have went edge with that second rounder then offered the third.
Here you go Mike
That’s pretty cool
Gotta run, may be back later! GO DOLPHINS!!!
So we gave them a 5th ?? Wth ??!
That’s ok we got a 2nd for next year first
Stanger had this figured out as soon as Kingsbury uttered Murray’s name back in Jan.
Dude — not personal wins in this….. we all work together for the team. 🙂
Look it was a very low risk move to get a guy who can possibly show he is worth that top 10 selection. Like the guy or not it was a good move. I love Grier we could have selected him and I would have been equally happy but there is nothing bad about that mive
It was reported wrong
We gave up the 2020 pick
As has one of our 5ths in 2020
So essentially we gave up the 6th we got in the trade down and still have the 2nd next year. Not as good as getting the 5th…. but still a lot better than before we traded down.

Looks like we gave up a 5th rounder, not received one.

We are taking a QB next year IMO
_______________________________
I don’t see why? you really won’t know if Rosen can pan out in one year, obviously giving up a 2nd rnd pick for him you’d think that’s their guy. why would they do that if they’re just going to draft a QB next year? seems like a waste.
We won’t have Fitzpatrick in 2020
I don’t think a 2nd precludes you from taking a qb in 2020
We need a backup anyway
If they got the guy they wanted it wasn’t a waste
That was a good selection for the 9ers
I completely forgot about Polite
DEs stsrting to go now
Phins ain’t gonna be good next year but they will have a top 5 back-up QB on opening day….. no matter who is behind center.
I hate when my college players go to the fucking Jets
very happy Polite is gone. Did not want that guy.
Well that was Rude of the jets
Meet your new Oline Mr. Rosen.
Tunsil is in the restroom
There are some good OGs in the board too
Looks like his last year line , he’s used to it
So we drafted a DL who was in the top 10 on many teams’ boards in the 1st and traded a 2nd rd pick and whatever mix of whatever for a QB who was drafted #10 last year. What are they thinking? LOL
I can’t take this anymore……Where’s my damn gas mask!
That fucking Jarhead Sergeant must be a recruiter. No deployment ribbons.
wow Henderson to the Rams. Shit I wanted that guy.
Can’t beleive Jones lasted to the 3rd round
good player
So have I got this right?
We give up: 2nd and 4th this year, 5th next year
We get: Rosen and 6th, 2nd next year?
I believe that is correct
The 4thvstill irks me dunno why
Yep
Sounds right.
I forgot Arizona gave up their 2018 first-round pick, 2018 third-round pick, and 2018 fifth-round pick for Rosen last year.
and payed all the bonus money too
Yeah. Fins pay 6M over next 3 years for him.
ER — and if turns out Rosen is the guy we have the 5th year option too.
I do like those #’s
https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1121947974915858432
Yes, they traded up for a guy we essentially got for next to nothing a year later
Well one things for shore!
We got more TV time than I can ever remember!!!!!!!!
That will happen more and more as we build into a perennial powerhouse.
Btw Daniel Jeremiah has done a real nice job taking over for Mayock
Agreed and I’ve always liked him. He knows his shit.
BUG and NE before is to steal edge guys
Them paying the bonus is why we had to give up a 5th.
If Rosen works as a starter, we have a really cap friendly next 3 yrs at QB.
Buffalo now has like 10 runningbacks
No kidding wow
Cue OD IN 5,4,3,2,1
I think they released Ivory though.
They did but just signed Yeldon
Dolphins need to take an OL next, someone To protect Rosen
Pasties* traded away another pick. That’s kinda weird.
We pick #78….. see a bunch of Gs on the ESPN best available board.
Yes, guard is what we need
Maybe we get another trade back a recoup that 2020 5th.
Stone burner re-entered the daft ?
My brother-in-law who’s a Giants fan and did not like Daniel Jones at #6 told me “the fish” did a great job with drafting Wilkins and trading for Rosen.
Stanger
Yep. He’s a 1st round pick. 😉
Shrewd, no risk move at the end of the day
We have zero pass rush. We need an Edge guy and LG and RT.
Can you trade 2020 picks to get more picks in the 4th this yr?
or later in this round right now?
I’m leaning towards yondy cajuste being our pick
Me too
WFT, Rapaport, way to get it wrong. Just when I thought we got a great deal. I am good with the trade down then trade for him. I think that was an outstanding move but giving up 2 picks (be it one next year) leaves a bad taste in my mouth like I just took a drink of a flat skunky beer that’s been sitting in the sun for an hour with a dead fly in it that just flew in off of one of Phindog’s turds.
Not even the flies go near those
I don’t think we need anymore 2020 picks right now,
It’s better get someone to block on the OL for 2019 , so Rosen doesn’t get folded into a pretzel
agreed
I knew it
I knew they patriots would get winovich
LOL
Tim I think you called that 3 mos ago
There goes Chase Winovich to the Patsies*! FUCK THEM!!!
LOL
Lol figures
Fuckin shithead pasties* steal from us.
Bill knew who his protege wanted
Fuckers
I’m happy if we still get the other DE.
Yessssssssss!!!!!!
There’s your OG
FUCK YEAH!!! MICHAEL DEITER!!!
Wo I forgot Dieter was out there.
That’s a great pick.
Nice
Wow a Wisconsin Lineman
Yessss! On Wisconsin!
GREAT PICK!
Randy’s Wisconsin boy!
Well I was right it was ol and that was as good as cajuste
Well I guess I rewound tonight too .. there’s another need filled
There’s our OL. Solid pick.
Yeah, a Fatty!!!
Those were some pretty good highlights. He knocked down someone on every block.
I got at least one pick right for us so far!!!
Nice !
I am busy at work. Do we still have a 4th? What picks do we have left?
no 4th
No
We don’t have a 4th
We moved down I thr 2nd
Picked up a 2nd next year and a 6th round pick
And gave up our 4th
Then traded our 2nd and a 5th in 2020fpr Rosen
Wilkins
Rosen
Deiter
Pretty good
yes it is
Yep! Trench players on both sides of the ball and a QB. What were they thinking? 😉
Oh right, we’ll have about $75-80M in cap space next year and 10 draft picks. What are these jokers thinking? LOL
Crap. I dozed off. We drafted Randy after losing our edge?
Well I’m done. Don’t see Miami trading back into the 3rd
Is it just 2nd and 3rd rounds tonight?
yup
Correct
Not a bad 2 days of work!
Wilkins drafted #13
Rosen Drafted #10
Dieter Drafted #78
Got an extra 2nd for next year!
Lets go for taco’s!
i felt the guard coming, love the pick , Rosen has to be smiling even more, except for that unfollowing the cards tragedy
but the Wisconsin guy is a big tough dude can play guard or tackle
We really should try to trade back into the 3rd and get an Edge guy.
YES
That would cap it for me!
There goes Lou’s guy
Well I’m good so far, they are putting in some work
See where it goes from here
So we have left a 5th, 6th and 2 7th’s in this draft?
With all the trades tonight these 70 players must be rated pretty close by all the teams?
thank God we arent tanking for Tua, this is far more productive and exciting, rebuild is in full blown mode now, and we can still draft Tua if we want him
Deiter even caught a TD pass. He has pretty sweet feet for a mauler.
i saw that too, yes, hes very solid in his lane dicipline as well
i cant stand OL that are in the wrong place half the time, Deiter is solid, diciplined
Is OT Mitch Hyatt still available? If so, I would take him if still there in the 5th. He did very well for Clemson in every game against Alabama.
yes, and some sources say he is one of the best day two picks
Really good work by our staff to change the identity of the team and start in a new era. It had to happen.
MICHAEL DEITER
6′ 5″
309 lbs
Deiter (pronounced DEET-er) came to Wisconsin from Ohio, where he was a first-team All-State pick and the Division IV Lineman of the Year. After redshirting in 2014, he started all 13 games, seven at left guard and six at center. Big Ten coaches voted him honorable mention all-conference as a sophomore after he split 14 starts between center (10) and left guard (4). In 2017, he was a first-team all-conference pick as a 14-game starter at left tackle. National media voted Deiter onto the Associated Press second-team All-American squad after his senior season and he returned to the first-team All-Big Ten pick as well due to his play in 13 starts at left guard.
versatile!
Wilkins is already in Miami, showed up at the facility “ready to work” and wants to start training right away.
Love everything so far this draft….BUUUTTTT we need some DE’s. If I’m MIA 3 of my next 4 would be DEs. I think you use some next years assets to get good talent now.
Wouldn’t be surprised if we added 4-5 Edge guys in late rounds and UDFAs. We’re not going to be a complete team this year anyway, but we’re not going to be a tank team either. Sorry Florida media, you’ve been wrong about that from day one.
Dolphins have the best draft going of any team IMO
dangit … I REALLY wanted that Ferguson.
