“The Underwear Olympics” as some people call it. Regardless of that smear, I feel like the combine has its place, and just like any piece of information, if you’re doing your analysis correctly, it’s another piece of data you use to form your final report, not the only piece. The problem of not having a NFL Combine is the information you get from Pro Days, which are not sanctioned by the NFL, can be slanted, or maybe I should just say ARE slanted. Each college program wants their athletes to succeed because it helps their program succeed. It seems like all the top WR prospects that actually ran at their Pro Day ran sub 4.4 times. It’s not impossible that it’s true, but more than likely those hand held timers (homers) shaved a bit to make that happen. I like when each player is running on the same strip of turf and timed by the same guys and called out if they lean a little too forward or don’t start from the right position. Geez, these guys don’t even wear shirts anymore! Will they be running in jock straps soon, or maybe without them? I suspect that next year we’ll be back to the good ole combine as it was and they will have to wear shorts, shirts and those dreaded heavy numbers on the shirts that most likely easily add a few tenths of a second to all timed events.
Now on to Dolphins news, even if it’s old news. The Dolphins were involved in 2 trades, likely synchronized trades with both the San Francisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles. The net result of both trades for the 2021 draft is that the Miami Dolphins will now pick at #6 in RD1 instead of #3, but we have acquired no further compensation in this draft. That compensation doesn’t arrive until 2022 and 2023. We still have picks 6, 18, 36, 50, 81, 156, 231 and 258. Definitely top heavy with two selections in each of the first 2 rounds and no 4th RD selection. I wouldn’t be surprised if we trade up or trade back and either lose a pick or gain a pick here and there. The most important thing is finding players that make your team better, no matter when you are selecting. We have flexibility and draft capital to get what we want, so now we hope that we want is on target. The Dolphins have also signed DT John Jenkins to a 1 year contract. Jenkins last played DT/DE for the Dolphins in 2019 and spent 2020 with the Chicago Bears.
Offense or defense? Which side gets the first pick? I still believe it’s offense, but I’m not convinced it’s DeVonta Smith or Kyle Pitts. If we do go WR I think it’s going to be Ja’Marr Chase. If we go OL I think it’s either going to be Penei Sewell or Rashawn Slater. A lot of you seem to be on the Parson’s train but I don’t think we’re going there. If I were GM, priority #1 would be helping Tua become the QB that can take this team deep into the playoffs. I personally believe that Tua will be a better QB regardless of the players we bring in because he’s a winner and he’s working so hard to be the best he can be, but adding talent around him makes that concept closer to reality. Even if Allen Hurns and Albert Wilson came back to a level close to their previous best, can you count on either of them to finish the season? Both were out all last season and have a lot of catching up to do to get back into football shape. Can DeVante Parker ever have a full season where he’s healthy and basically the same for Will Fuller? Can you lean on Jakeem Grant as a WR and not just an electric return man? Can TE Mike Gesicki really get to the level of a Travis Kelce or Darren Waller? I think he can but that would require him being a much bigger part of the offense, and over his first 3 seasons, he’s yet to eclipse 100 or more targets in a season. Compared to the aforementioned Kelce and Waller, both had 145 targets last season and although both had less targets in 2019, 136 and 117 respectively, each still topped 100 easily. So does that mean TE/WR Kyle Pitts is more likely? If it were me, I’d go WR all the way, we have a really nice TE corps right now with Gesicki, Smythe (who improved last season as a pass catcher), Shaheen, Cethan Carter and Chris Myarick. Smythe is a solid blocker and Shaheen is another big bodied TE that caught 3 TD’s last season. When I look at the WR corps, unfortunately I keep coming up with more questions than answers. Parker, Fuller, Williams, Hurns, Wilson, Bowden, Perry, Grant, and Hollins. Who is the one guy in that bunch that you can count on? Realistically, the answer is none of the above. That’s why my best guess is Chase, and not Smith. I think we need a reliable target, one who has ability but also has availability. I do think that Smith’s size is going to keep him off our roster and the huge consolation prize after Smith who is truly an elite route running WR is Ja’Marr Chase. Mark it down folks, that’s my pick and I believe it will be our pick as well.

I think Simms might be playing off of what Orob said, that the Jags suck at picking QBs, so maybe Lawrence is better, but the Jags do what they do and F-up Lawrence
UP AT 5:30 AM to walk the doggies. Then on to Moffitt Cancer Hospital in Tampa for an entire day of diagnostic tests. NPO after midnight, of course. By 3 in the afternoon I was ready to take a bite out of an X-Ray cassette!!!

But the news IS GOOD!! – – – no sign OF ANY RETURN OF THE CANCER!! – – I’m good to go for another 6 months!!

BITCH OF THE EVENING. The Eastern Time Zone sports fans will have to let the California “TAIL” wag the the American sports scene. The start of tonight’s National Championship Game is 9 fucking 20 PM—-and will probably be delayed by yet another mountain of commercials until 9:30, or so. GOD FORBID an 8:00 PM Eastern start for this title game because, after all, pleasing the California wackos is far more important than pleasing those of us in the other three time zones!!

The Old Dolfan is out (by half time or earlier)!!!
GREAT to hear, Mr. Campbell! I’m very happy for you and your Mrs!
Good news. My 6 month follow up with the oncologist is in May. It’s weird getting used to living in 6 month increments
That’s not living, Ken. You live beyond that and whatever happens, happens.
Keep dreaming, keep hoping, keep on keeping on.
Tim,
You like Parsons that much, huh? That is some major praise comparing him to LT. I haven’t seen that. I’m still just confused as to why folks see him as a legitimate edge rusher because he hasn’t been that in college….not even close. Yeah, he’s an athletic freak, but he’s never been a serious threat off the edge. Im not saying he can’t improve in that area. He certainly has a high ceiling, but I’m not so sure his future is as a 14 sack edge rusher. I think he’s better suited to be a do-it-all kinda LB, if he can learn how to play with more discipline.
I wouldn’t compare anyone to LT until they do what LT did. All I’m saying is id Parsons is who the pundits are saying he is, he should fill a hole and hopefully improve the defense and move it to the next level. Why wouldn’t you want that if it’s possible?
^if not id
I do think Parsons is going to be a special NFL LB.
LT will take your head off, I should know, he almost took mine off😉
That’s what made him LT, that’s not Parsons.
I think Parsons and Owen both played out of position, they should both be playing OLB in a 3-4, and dropping in coverage at times
MF-13:Thanks for your kind response.

WHO ya’ got in tonight’s game???
Gonzaga!
steve,
I’m not sure why they let Lawson and KVN go, but they did sign them to begin with. That suggests to me they liked what they brought to the team. There are several reasons guys get cut but usually only one that they get signed…they like them. Both guys had pretty similar years to what they’ve been their whole careers, so I can’t see how Flores didn’t like their production and cut them because of it.
****
I think these guys like tweeners. It gives them flexibility. I don’t even think of us as a 3/4 or 4/3 anymore.
Tweeners are more 3-4 or what the late great Bill Arnsparger created with the 5-2. It’s the same idea, 3 good interior linemen and a swarm of LBs. We have a very good secondary.
It’s interesting that as things change they remain the same. 😉

Piggy,
For me, he looked kinda slow and stiff playing. The more I watch him; the more I wonder if it’s more about him being more of a technician. I actually like the way he plays. He’s a powerful kid who plays hard, and he plays smart. He has a lot to like, but I just don’t think he’s a top #18 guy. That’s just me.
***
He’s also kind of a tweener who is probably viewed as a 4-3 DE. I don’t know if that really means anything in our defense, but ya never know. He played at around 270-75. He was 260 at his pro day, and I believe he said he did it on purpose.
—————–
100% agree with all of the above, Randy. Paye is a very good player, but I don’t see him in our future. I form my own opinions, and it’s very seldom I ever read a scout’s take on a prospect unless I become totally flabbergasted.
I said a week ago that I view him as a nice fit in a 4-3 D, who can flex between DE and DT (tweener)… comparing him to Jared Odrick.
Yes, he could work for us… but not in the 1st round. We need to get faster — not slower — at the EDGE positions.
If we were still the 2012 Miami Dolphins, yes, I’d consider Paye @ R1P18. Today? Not so much. JMO

I hope everything is going well with you, too, Ken. Best of luck to you on your follow-up in May, in case this topic doesn’t come up before then, bud.
👍
LOL…I know Tim Knight doesn’t like holes.
IMO, we have at least 4 holes and hopefully the draft fills those holes with our 4 of the first 50 picks. These are not upgrades! Lmao.
How awesome would that be?
I don’t refer to them as holes. 😉
I know you don’t, but that’s our difference. I don’t think we just need upgrades. I think we need caliber talent and pehaps what we have is depth.
If all you have is depth how do you define yourself? We have a lot of depth? I’m just trying to understand.
So far 2 big sorry white guys vs a bigger, stronger, quicker Baylor team
Seriously?
If you want to go there, white guys look timid. Not sure why. Big 12 tougher? What conference is Gonzaga in? I think they’re the Cinderella.
They’re in the cream puff conference.
Zags are outmatched.
When you play against someone that’s bigger and more athletic, unless you can catch fire outside for 3s…
Now I can agree with you. You’re prevoius cooment was bs, imo.
^comment. geez, loueez.
^previous…lol
Can I say blasphemy when comparing anyone to LT anymore than I’ve already done? LOL
Yes….lol. He was a beast! I loved LT.
That was a nice song, too, TK.
Tim, too bad your football acumen is not as good as your music, Great song
At least you don’t have to stay up all night OD to find out who won
If they started the game over and spotted the Zags 20 pts, I wouldn’t bet them
Reminds me of being teenagers hanging in the woods around a fire and NOT doing satanic things. 😉
Lol…that was nice.
I’m almost hoping Parsons doesn’t last too long, with NE sitting at 15
They’ll be all over him. Then we have to deal with him. Yikes!
Steve,
Have you read the article called 30 Tyrants by Lee Smith? It’s a terrifying read about our political and corporate class and how they’ve sold us out to China.
On to football, getting rid of Lawson and KVN was all about production. As Steve stated, we were slow to get to passers all year and both had terrible stats outside of 1-2 games. KVN was amazing at Cincy….and pretty subpar the rest of the year. Lawson getting 4 sacks…is pretty pitiful honestly. I don’t know who is the upgrade, but our two ILBs are studs. I like Parsons but not nearly as much as Tim. I love Pitts as much as Tim loves Parsons lol.
Ja’Marr Chase – That is all
thats my choice also, Chase is what the Fins need
No I haven’t read it, just knew about China a long time ago. Biden is on video, a long time ago, saying it’s good for the world, if China is economically powerful. That pretty much says it all, then there’s other politicians taking china’s side with the Rockets NBA issue, then kissing their ass when the virus came out. A lot there that tells us who’s who in political corruption
everyone loves a good slot receiver!
but the value of an outside receiver is higher IMO
because almost all WR can play the slot, but not all slot WR can play outside
the value of Chase over Smith and Waddle , is too much to ignore IMO
i love Smith and Waddle, but Chase can do it all, so he provides more value

So Sam Darnold is way better than Teddy Bridgewater?
I really don’t understand the Darnold trade. You paid pretty good money to Bridgewater, he looks better than Darnold, and will win you more games. You are also deciding on Darnolds option with at best 16 games of data but he hasn’t played a full season yet. They paid a pretty decent haul on what looks like a really risky bet. Let’s hope the Jets break another QB.
If you’ve actually watched the two play, then yes, Darnold is better than Bridgewater. Is he way better? That would have to be defined, but it wasn’t really much to give to trade for a young QB who’s been thwarted by bad coaching his entire career.
They didn’t give up a lot to get him, but yeah seems odd.
Bridgewater’s contract last year was puzzling, thought of him as just a care taker in NO.
Could they still trade up with Atlanta and take another one?
Only 400 pts, and 450 for Denver makes the most sense.
If Atlanta keeps the pick and does something weird like a CB…
All options may be open for us
Jets are good at breaking QB. Carolina could package Darnold and send him to Atlanta for the 4th.
Here’s another guy who is spot on!
any questions?
You gonna be rooting to be right or be wrong about him next season? Seems all the chances of someone else at QB have faded away.
I am really surprised at the amount of QB movement this off-season. I am some really big high draft choice QBs have moved. Matt Stafford, Jared Goff, Carson Wentz and now Sam Darnold. I don’t think I remember that many high pick QBs moving in off season in quite some time
QB tenure these days is about the same as head coaches. Teams are always looking for someone better. Tough jobs.
I am really surprised at the lack of QB movement by miami
You are the only one so surprised
You can’t remember last year?
Rivers, Newton, Winston, Marriota
Marriota and Winston were essentially considered washed up and back up material. All 4 this year are game day starters at this point
Does anyone believe this woman? I hope Watson gets the book thrown at him, but come on man.

Ashley Solis, the first plaintiff who filed a lawsuit against Deshaun Watson, said she has suffered through panic attacks and is in therapy as a result of Watson’s actions.
What were his actions? That is the question.
He made her touch parts of him, that she didn’t want to.
What all these women have in common is they weren’t forced, so they could’ve thrown him out at any time.
Mary was even going to give him another massage, if he agreed to be a good boy.
Doesn’t make what he’s accused of doing right, but I think it shows therapy is just a money grab
Least believe her a whole lot more than plaintiff #14 or #15. And what she claims she suffered that no Xray can confirm after is all about amount of damages. Sometimes, true and sometimes not, but always exaggerated. Just ask Ken.
You mean Ken the drama queen likes to exaggerate🤔
LOL — you know he’s a personal injury lawyer.
First round QB’s don’t cost what they used to that’s why so many get drafted much higher than they should and because the cost isn’t so great the teams don’t mind going back into the draft as frequently.
If top ten picks cost what they did when Matt Ryan was drafted Lawrence would probably be the only top 10 QB in this draft, the rest are just relative bargains so why not.
Good point. And for whatever reason they don’t sit for a season or two, which means you get more out of that rookie contract if they play out.
Hoping the dynamic plays out and first 5 picks are all QBs. 🙂
Atlanta is rumored to be talking to several teams, but Cin I don’t see trading out, unless they can get Detroit and the Cheats interested, or maybe they just go Penei
Stej always goes for the “faggy” QB’s
Here comes Wilson to fit right in lol
“Of course, I felt like I had to weigh out all of my options, but it was a no-brainer for me because of the scheme. I’m familiar with the scheme from Brian Flores in Miami. So, it’s kind of the same scheme.. I feel like I fit best in this scheme. I thrived in this scheme. I can play in any scheme, but I felt this scheme best fit my skill-set. And being able to be coached by arguably the greatest coach of all-time, that was a no-brainer.”
— Davon Godchaux on why the Pats made sense. And for sure sounds like the Phins and Pats have the same scheme.
Have we talked about Jabril Cox?
That dude could almost play Safety he’s not the pass rusher but he’s tough around the line of scrimmage. Versatile to say the least.
Not sure 5 QBs are going top 5 but I can see 4 in a row. A team may trade up with ATL for a QB if they don’t take one. I think it’s a lock that 3 go top 3.
Cincinnati could trade with Denver and still get Penei, so quite possibly 1st 5 are QBs, and more likely, than Pitts and Chase gone before 6
I hope so. I like Parsons a lot but I think if Chase and/or Pitts is there for us, I think one of them should be the pick. Sewell to the Bengals makes a lot of sense. Protect your young franchise QB.
Far as I’m concerned all we need is a QB taken at #4 or #5 or the Bengals to take Sewall.
I don’t know where all these rumors came from, we’ll I do but…, with Atlanta and Cincinnati taking Pitts and/or Chase.
Offensive Tackle
No team in the NFL has more of a need on the offensive line than the Cincinnati Bengals. Joe Burrow was constantly under pressure throughout his rookie campaign and ended up tearing his ACL and MCL as a result of his lack of protection. The unit as a whole allowed 48 sacks over the course of the season and wasn’t much better in the run game either, as the team ranked 24th in rushing on a measly 4.1 yards per carry.
Atlanta needs Edge, RB and CB, so they may go CB or trade down (currently talking with teams) so QB taken at 4.
QB at 4, Penei at 5
It’s only natural, that when you have a young team, part of the improvement from year to year is from the growth of the players, yet we rarely see that considered.
In a recent breakdown by position we heard things like QB is worse, because Fitz is gone, but if he only played relief pitcher the 2nd half isn’t it more important that we have a better Tua than Fitz on the roster, plus Brisket will get some wildcat type snaps.
Same with KVN leaving and AVG getting more snaps
I’ve been saying that for years that’s it’s more important for last year’s draft class to progress than who we select in the current draft. The draft is always about shiny new toys and the new excitement, but if last year’s class isn’t progressing that’s a setback. Jackson, Hunt, Kindley and Tua progressing is huge. The same with other young players throughout the team, but those guys for the offense are a big deal. It all goes together for the team becoming a contender.
Son made a great observation about the state of revolving young QBs…perfect sense.
Stanger, on fan affiliation for the no competition QB state this year was spot on.
Build through the draft and let it reveal itself 1, 2, sometimes 3 years down the road. Then, re-up best, if you can.
Team’s that have QB competitions in camp because they’re not sold on one guy usually doesn’t pan out. Not saying it’s never happened, but it’s not ideal. Most teams that win have their guy and go all in on them at least for a few years until they prove otherwise.
That said, I think building a team where you can still compete with your backup is the way to go. If it’s all about “your QB” and without him you can’t compete, you’re not a good enough team anyway. You need to be at least solid in all phases. Unless that QB is elite and makes that kind of difference. There’s not a whole lot of them in the league.
Yep — the team should be more than just the QB. And they are building this team deep and young, which really like. Even if your stud QB goes down you are better off, especially for the future. Gonna get a lot more deep after this draft.
Agree we both.
^with
Geez, loueez…
Just in case we don’t get Pitts or Chase, it’s not like there are no other good WRs and/or pass catchers in this draft. Even beyond Smith and Waddle. Many of us also want a nice RB too. There are lots of ways to get better. We’ve got the picks and some good young talent already on this team. Stay the course as they say. 🙂
If we don’t get Pitts, Chase…other option is Najee, Williams, or Penei
On D, Parsons.
We should be able to get 2 of these.
If not, yikes!
Out, sorry.
electric school buses , garbage trucks, and the trucking industry are coming, no more diesel fuel and urine, lol
electric battery suppliers and other green tech stocks are exploding, Romeo Power makes the batteries, up 59 percent today , just getting started
the US Economy will outpace China this year, and create alot of high paying jobs, converting away from fossil fuels
just had to say, this is exciting, lol
but anyway, what were the panthers thinking, Darnold tosses interceptions left and right, he sucks!
Do you realize how many things we use daily that are made out of fossil fuel? We wouldn’t be blogging without it. At least not yet.
Fossil fuel is not the problem, humans being fucking disgusting is the problem.
this isnt about whats the problem, its the direction the nation is going
all the big names, kenworth, Peterbuilt, etc, school buses, and garbag trucks are already on converting to electric
diesel is not part of the multi trillion dollar green infrastructure plan
of course fossil fuels are part of everyday life, but not such a big role in the future, they are obsolete
Batteries and tires are made out of fossil fuel just to name two important things. What are we doing there?
Tim, there really isnt anything to debate, because, Im fully aware of what fossil fuels are, and what is made from them
I also have My finger on the pulse of growing trends, and take advantage of them
green tech stocks are booming, even today, while oil stocks were down,
Green stocks were doing incredible!
investors want to invest in tommorow, not yesterday, because the infrastructure plan will incorporate greener technology, this is what the nation has planned
I’m all about green that makes sense. We probably won’t live to see what you’re talking about. By the way, fossil is natural. Everything on earth is made of natural elements. Human behavior is the culprit.
the trucking industry has wanted this for along time, seen how much diesel fuel cost lately? and they have to mix the urine ( DEF) in with it, lol
they are wanting to cut fuel and urine costs
Tim, Goodyear has begun making tires from isopropene from trees, and plants, with no toxic waste left over
they work better in cold and snow, than the fossil fuel tires
Fossil fuel is already made up of trees and plants. That’s what fossil is – dead life.
yes, but the processes are much different, and plants can be grown easier and cleaners, than sending money to saudi arabia , or drilling and polluting
its the way of the future, will be better for the environment, and create alot of good jobs
Okay George Jetson. LOL
This isn’t about politics, it’s about human behavior. We’ll all be dead before we see it come to fruition. Then we’ll have a new pollution we’re not prepared for. How do you dispense of all of the new products made of the same stuff? I guess sending it to space? How do we get to space, rockets using hemp? So the entire universe will be stoned. LOL
I bought Spacely Sprocket stock today
Son, D has been talking up Jabril Cox for quite a while.
He looks like he’d fit with us despite doing a lot of what Baker does. As a potential late second or third he’d be a nice player
I think he has a hamstring issue currently but that’s ok it April
We should be getting the new schedule in a couple of weeks

Then let us hope the Patsies* trade up for a QB… something that isn’t out of the realm of possibilities.
It’s 4/6/2021, and I feel we’re coming away with either Kyle Pitts or Ja’Marr Chase… with the possibility of DeVonta Smith, @ R1P6.
IMO, do the due diligence (Steve Ross to accept Micah Parsons, first) where Micah could go in the Draft. Trade up from R1P18 if necessary (WITHOUT giving up R2P4)… it’s looking more and more likely that the RBs will be going in the 2nd round, but who knows.
i’m thinking with Joe Burrow in Cincy, they should be all in on Chase, cincy has a history with drafting great wrs, burrow & chase have the chemistry already.
Chase to Miami
I tend to agree he would be my favourite at 6 …
Also good job keeping stuff coming out sir

What a performance. I hope Watson gets the book thrown at him, but gimme a frigin break, those fake tears and snivels
Atlanta to draft Najee at 35, if he’s there
there’s some whispers about rashan slater @6
waddle was out performing smith before he got injured
Sewell at 6 is the best option IMO, if he’s there, Chase does not have elite break away speed, we have that type already on the roster.
If Sewell is gone i think it will be a toss up between Pitts & Smith, i would think Smith is the favorite to land in Miami due to the chemistry with Tua.
Ja’marr Chase – 4.38 40
Julio Jones – 4.39 40
I would take a young Julio Jones any day.
That’s not real, he runs closer to 4.5. I’d say in the 4.45 range.
He is closer to what we already have, than Smith and Waddle, and the only true burner is Waddle
Waddle has lack of production issues, Smith size issues, and Chase no real issues, but is a smaller version of what we have.
I’m OK with a smaller version of what we have. Landry with more speed.
I don’t know what the FO is thinking though, if they want some insurance for Fuller being one and done, then Waddle may be the guy, if they don’t care what Fuller does, then Chase, if they want unlimited potential with a frail frame, that they think they can make stronger, then Smith
Tim, lol
i realize that its tough to wrap Your head around this green deal, and i dont pretend to have ALL the answers on every specific detail of it. im an investor of the future, not a rocket scientist

supporting terrorism for any reason, has never been a great idea
He is always good for a laugh.
We’re on the clock and both Chase and Pitts are gone, you have Denver, cheats, Chicago and WTF wanting to move up.
The cheats are likely out of a trade up with us, because of division rivals, what do you do?
I’d trade down with one of them and not trade back up.
With Denver take Smith, Waddle or Parsons. Comp will get us a 3rd+ a little more.
With WTF and Chicago I’d go after an OLB. Comp 725 or 750, so a little less than we got from SF 1000pts
I keep rerunning some mocks and really get stuck at #18. I have a hard time picking without wanting to trade down. So I finally did one and took who I thought was the BPA at #18.
6 Kyle Pitts TE • Florida
18 Rashawn Slater T • Northwestern
36 Zaven Collins LB • Tulsa
50 Javonte Williams HB • North Carolina
81 Patrick Johnson ED • Tulane
156 Tamorrion Terry WR • Florida State
231 Michal Menet C • Penn State
258 Chris Brown S • Texas
Seems just ok. Kept missing on players I really wanted.
I really like the idea of trading down at #18 and get and extra 2nd or more.
Don’t really want an OT at 18, but since you got Collins and Williams following I love the first 4 selections. Never really pay much attention to the later picks
The SS says Fins have big decision to make on Gesicki.
What decision? How much to pay him?
Seems no brainer to me, can’t see him breaking the bank
In the 1st 3 rounds we need to come away with a pass catcher, Front 7, RB, anything else should be BPA.
C and S would be next, but don’t reach.
We really don’t know what Deiter and Tom have to offer at C, so we may be good there, and at S no idea what direction they want to go
My problem with trading down any further is now is the time to make a run, wait another year or 2 and we’re that much closer to a QB with a big cap hit

Gio Bernard asked for his release and the #Bengals granted it, source says. The team had asked him to take a pay cut two weeks into free agency, which hurt his chances of landing elsewhere. But he’s expected to find a new gig soon.

You know why it is leaking out that the Cowboys love Kyle Pitts? To ensure that the Florida tight end is taken in the top 6 spots.
Not into rumors, but I hope he does go top 6, but not top 5

That’s not real, he runs closer to 4.5. I’d say in the 4.45 range.
He is closer to what we already have, than Smith and Waddle, and the only true burner is Waddle

Doe that mean Julio Jones’ wasn’t real either?
No, Julio ran with an unbiased timer
Hmmm….
Shit is starting to get serious

According to a source, Beats by Dre has ended its relationship with Deshaun Watson. Earlier today, Nike said in a statement that they have suspended their endorsement deal with the Texans’ quarterback.
John Jenkins contract is out, $956,618, only 106k net against the cap.
New cap # $6,968,258
Unless we sign someone else, this cap space is close to what the rookies will cost.
McKinney’s contract still to be reworked as the team said they would, adding up to 6m
The 40 times posted don’t mean a lot, it’s just ear candy.
Teams in attendance at pro days keep their own times

____________________________________________________________________
If this FO did that they should be fired, after all we were sitting at 12 and gave a 22 first rnder + to move to 6, you’re going to drop back to 9 for a 3rd?
not on my payroll your not!
We may have dropped to 6 to keep the cheats from getting a top 5 QB, at least that’s a rumor, and it does make sense
The Bengals cut Giovani Bernard today. He was on the books for $4.1 million this season. He’s 29. Maybe not for us, but wouldn’t make a bad one-year sign for some team.
Over/under,
what game will Tua be demoted & Brissett becomes the starter?
Game 4, over or under?
Under for me
Over for the duration of Brissett’s contract.
OK, I traded down from #18 to #25. May not get 3 picks like I did but would have been happy with just their 2nd and 3rd.
6 Kyle Pitts TE • Florida
25 Zaven Collins LB • Tulsa
33 Javonte Williams HB • North Carolina
36 Carlos Basham Jr.ED • Wake Forest
45 Jabril Cox LB • LSU
50 Landon Dickerson C • Alabama
65 Tylan Wallace WR • Oklahoma State
81 Talanoa Hufanga S • USC
156 Bobby Brown III DI • Texas A&M
231 Ian Book QB • Notre Dame
258 Josh Ball T • Marshall
A QB? why do we need that?
do we have the cap space to sign 8 top 100 rookies?
The bottom 4 won’t even count against the cap for sure. You can structure the rest to have a bigger hit in 2022.
I wouldn’t worry about that too much. Wilson, Hurd and Grant might though.
Not currently, but it might be a wash, with the difference going down from 18 to 25
Dickerson have a chance to start? I was thinking C in the 2nd or 3rd.
IMO, with the gap between 81 and 156, I would not be surprised if we traded one or both 7th’s to move up somewhere in the draft and/or just trade 258 for a 2022 7th.
Lol, we can trade both of our 1 pt 7ths for a 2 pt comp pick in the 6th

Jaylen Waddle averaged an incredible 44.53 yards per TD catch on his 17 career scores through the air at Alabama.

“Over The Cap has the Dolphins marked as the 9th youngest free agency class of 2021 as things currently stand, with an average age of 27.82 years of age.”
There is a theme to what our FO wants to accomplish, but at some point it might be wise to get some 30 yr olds on the team.
A pro of having a young team is they bound back quicker and might even avoid injuries older players get.
We’ve made the FA mistake of having too many old players and had lots of guys out due to injury.
The Lakers going after a Shaq last hurrah signed Malone, Nash, and Payton, when the finals rolled around everyone but Malone was hurt
Our players will get older and they’ll keep some of them. We talk about the Pats cause of Flores, but think the team building model is the Steelers. Build through the draft and sign the keepers to a 2nd contract.
Those you let walk…. back to the draft. But obviously some FAs are involved too, just not as many.
What we haven’t seen yet is whether they’ll plug in older vets when the time to contend is here like the Pats do.
“The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department has released the cause of the February wreck where Tiger Woods suffered extensive injury: excessive speed of 82-87 mph in a 45-mph zone.”
That curve is nasty, my brother’s friend got in a wreck there too, excessive speed was also the cause
Sounds like they bent over backwards for Tiger, not to charge him, which I don’t have a problem with, since it was a single car accident, but at what point does he get it, that he’s not above the law?
It’s his 3rd traffic related investigation
Just got back from getting my 1st Pfizer shot. No problems so far.
I have my first shot on Saturday
Had my first Pfizer 24 hours ago. Arm is a little sore but that’s it.
Isn’t Landon Dickerson the guy we keep telling each other has a history of injury?
We keep redrafting him in every mock…lol
No he’s the guy we keep mocking to us, that’s always getting hurt
He tore his ACL in 2016, missed nine games in 2017, and was forced to redshirt by an ankle injury in 2018. Then he tore his ACL again at the tail end of the 2020 season.
Other than that he’s 100% healthy
Bc we all demanded it
What kind of flavoring are you putting in that pig?

Our govt is so stupid, there’s only so many vaccines available, so why are they wasting them on people that have the antibodies?
This is going by what someone on here recently said, that they should get the same treatment as those with a vaccination card, because they may be less at risk, than someone that got vaccinated
In the ahh 4th rd of the NFL draft, pick 156, the Miami Dolphins select…Fansided
Read somewhere that the Moderna shot is only good for 6 months.
Lol
The Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines could offer immunity against COVID-19 for up to two to three years. However, they will most likely have to be administered annually.

Saw WR Jalen Camp from GT on GMF today and he’s really impressive. Not sure where he goes in the draft but he’s a big WR 6-2 220 did 30 reps of 225 and runs in the 4.4s. His dad owns a gym and is a personal trainer so that’s probably why he’s so strong. He came off as good dude, smart, got his degree and has a lot of experience blocking because of the system GT runs. His receiving numbers are very modest because of that but he looks the part.
Jaylen Waddle averaged an incredible 44.53 yards per TD catch on his 17 career scores through the air at Alabama.
——————————————–
FSU’s Tamorrian Terry, 6’4 210, 4.44 40, 50% of his TD’s were 50+ yards, 5 of the TD’s were 70+ yards.
Draft Pitts at #6 and Terry later. Both Piggy and I posted him before.
His speed also shows up on the field. Also, a little elusive for a big WR.
Imagine all that size in the RZ, Parker, Pitts, Gesicki, Williams and Terry.
He is also a gunner on ST.
He’s dynamic and being a gunner helps, so what’s his downside? Is he inconsistent or drop passes?
Damn school rosters! He actually measured just over 6’2 and weighed in at 207 at his pro day.

Phelon, can’t remember if I told you. I added to my zombie arsenal with a Citadel Boss-25.

Very nice. Can’t have too many anti-zombie devices around these days. I’m just finishing my long range gun. DD5v1, Maputo PSR adjustable butt stock, NightForce NX8 2.5x20x50 MilRad scope, Magpul bipod, Heavy Buffer buffer and tuned buffer spring. Ordering a Dead Air Sandman S for it tonight.
Steve (re: Terry), It is linked with some drops but I think it had a lot to do with poor QB play and constantly having to adjust to the ball but he gets credited with a drop. You can see just in the video how many passes he has to adjust to.
He adjusts well and seems to be able to handle contested balls.
What rd does he go?
Being a gunner he could replace Hollins.
Hollins has 337.5k dead money, not a lot, but why sign him to a 1 yr contract, pay him this bonus and cut him?
The downfall for Terry has been irratic quarterback play that’s lead to just a 52.5 percent catch rate on 181 targets. The return of …
I’d give him a shot, especially after taking Pitts at 6, instead of another WR
The NFL sure is a different world, as shown by this comment from an evaluation of Rashawn Slater……”he’s just a little on the smaller side at just 6-foot-4-¼ and 304 pounds”
Biggest dude by far everywhere he goes except….
