Draft day is approaching very quickly, so much so that I can already envision the arguments about who we took, when we took them and why we didn’t take this guy or that guy. It’s coming. Chris Grier and Brian Flores and the Miami Dolphins Scouting team will be questioned, ridiculed and revered by others all after 4 days of the draft in which the Dolphins currently hold 8 selections, starting with picks 5,18 in RD 1, 36 and 50 in RD 2, 81 in RD 3, 156 in RD 4 and then a long wait until picks 231 and 258 in RD 7. As usual, you can almost certainly expect some movement by our team in the draft, we have a history of wheeling and dealing, moving up back and all around at different junctures of the draft.
I think for the most part, the majority here understand that we need to help our QB by giving him better weapons on offense, and that could mean at a variety of positions including the trenches to give him better throwing lanes as well as keeping him healthy, more talent and reliability at receiver whether that receiver is a WR or TE and a durable ballcarrier who can also be a quality receiver out of the backfield. An easy way to have the QB improve is to give him better players around, see Ryan Tannehill and the Tennessee Titans for proof of such. We also have needs on defense but we made two key moves to make us better up the middle. First move was trading for ILB Benardrick McKinney to pair him with #55 Jerome Baker. We then signed FA DT John Jenkins. We do have AVG and Vince Biegel coming back on the outside but Biegel is coming off a torn achilles. He showed some promise before the injury, but whether the Dolphins are going to count on him remains to be seen. We need to get pressure from the edge, so I’d expect us to be looking at either an OLB or OLB/DE tweener who can rush the passer both standing up and with his hand in the ground.
Who are the most likely targets? I see mocks split for pick #6 with the usual suspects, WR Ja’Marr Chase, WR, DeVonta Smith, TE Kyle Pitts and OL Penei Sewell and Rashawn Slater. Once you get past our first pick, things as expected get more muddled. #18 is all over the map, from RB Najee Harris to EDGE rushers Kwity Paye, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Gregory Rousseau and Jaelan Phillips. Who we take at #6 will undoubtedly affect who we take next. If we don’t take a receiver with our first pick, say we go with an OL then I’m inclined to believe our next pick will be a WR. I can’t see going forward with the WR corps we currently have without finding a dependable, reliable high talent WR in this draft. I suppose receivers like Kadarius Toney or Rashod Bateman or Terrace Marshall could be the guy but I think we go for top tier talent here and either Chase, Smith or Pitts is the first pick. I’ll get more into the rest of the draft next week, and I’m sure there will be even more speculation, rumor and innuendo to discuss next week.
GO DOLPHINS!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Kwity Paye is NOT slow at all, hes fast
There is footage of him on the internet running a 6.37 3-cone drill and during Michigans Pro Day Paye ran a 4.52 40-yard dash. Remember this is a prospect that weighs 272-pounds and plays defensive end.
I don’t care what he does in shorts, when he has zero quick moves to the QB

Repost from before page turn
I like him!
In the second
Might even e blue to get him in the 3rd
We’re set at WR, after we take Pitts or Chase, not sure what the point is in having 9 WRs on the roster with NFL experience, then drafting 2 more
If we take Pitts at 6, I guess we could take another WR in the 2nd. I do like loading up on O, just don’t think we have room, when comparing dead space and roster spots
That’s the point
These guys Im posting are probably not 1st or 2nd rounders
If we draft Pitts, we can use a WR. I don’t think we are set with Parker, William and fuller top 3 given how much time they be spent being injured
LOL, it’s all about 9 routes.
Isn’t that what Fuller and Foster were brought in to do?
Foster seems like a long shot and has 100k dead money, if he doesn’t make the roster. Seems odd to bring in low level FAs and give them guaranteed money, Hollins 337.5k dead money, both about 1m contracts
I don’t look at Foster as a big deal. Fuller can help us for sure as long as he can stay on the field.
I don’t know what it is about St. Brown. His game does not impress me. He said he was training hard to prove doubters wrong about his 40 time then goes and posts a 4.51 at his own pro day. I would not take him any higher than 4th round and would rather have Marquez Stevenson there.

Rocky, watch me pull a trade out of my hat
Double Down on the offense Plus a couple of weapons on D thrown in. This draft can be franchise changing.
I agree, my mocks have been all over the place this year.
I see you did the Piggy DL Double Down. Not a fan of that with what we have now but like taking one #81 or later.

One things all these mocks show me is that there are a lot of potential upgrades available with the ammo we have;
I hope it transfers to the real draft
potential is only a part of the equation as you know. But I like at the least that we have increased the odds of hitting on star players. We will see. Grier is the same guy that was there when we traded up for Dion FF and who took Harris in the 1st .
If we go Edge in the 1st the results will likely be the same
Grier has cleaned up cap space and acquired draft capital but lets focus on DJ fuckface. LOL
It never ends. SMH
I wonder why “police power” is tolerated. Check out the “detaintment” of an Army Lieutenant who was physically (sprayed and put on the ground), mentally, and emotionally assaulted!
Nice! I feel protected now.
For context, this was last night in VA.
From a lawsuit filed 4/2 and just released.
Happened in December. Yesterday they announced that they fired the cop after an internal investigation. Poorly prepared small town cops.
And, last night in MN, man shot after traffic stop. Will it ever stop?
Dude in MN had a warrant for arrest. Cops tried to arrest him, he jumped back in his car cops shot him. Two different situations. Cops assaulting innocent army officer because they are scared, bad. Cops shooting criminal resisting arrest, meh.
Unarmed and nonviolent. Guess you shoot him. Meh.
Criminal resisting arrest. Cops don’t know his intentions when he climbs back in his car. Going for a gun? Going to run over them? You don’t know what the warrant was for. What if he’s wanted for murder? Rape? Child Porn?
Keep kneeling on a neck 2 minutes the dude’s dead from kneeling on his neck. Meh.
And that cop is being tried for his actions. Not that Floyd was a big loss to society.
Being a cop is dangerous. You deal with the scum of society everyday. Now the knee jerk reaction is to riot every time a criminal gets shot. And that’s how you end up with Portland.

I would never want to be a cop. The situations some of them face are awful and then of course you have civilians judge them like they’re watching an ice skating performance. Maybe they should make as big a story every time a police officer is attacked or killed in the line of duty, maybe people would have more understanding of what it can be like to be a cop.

More talk about, if picks 4 and 5 don’t go the Fins way we could trade again, by Fansided.
Just make a damn pick at 6, it isn’t worth dropping back a few spots to get another 3rd or so and lose out on a top talent

No, you are right. Fair evaluation of a person’s performance at their job does not end. Why are you Shaking your head? It is not as if I was railing against Grier being GM. I just pointed out that having the draft capitol was only part of the equation. The other part is up to the players and coaches to achieve the potential.
In no way was is a pile on of Grier. Yes he has done a good job (The past two years) in acquiring additional draft picks. NOW he has to do a good job in picking players.
My point was that it is encouraging, but it does not mean we will automatically get better because of it.
It seems some fans are willing to give him a free pass for everything before Flores got here. He has been a loud voice in the room for more than 10 years.
I was not calling for his head, but no free passes.
(2007–2015) Director of college scouting Miami Dolphins (2016–present) General manager
I don’t know what the director of college scouting does
But I don’t think it’s the person who’s ultimately responsible
I don’t feel comfortable judging him too harshly if he wasn’t pulling the trigger prior to 2016
The 2016 draft is pretty good
The 2017 is horrible
The 2018 draft is pretty good – but by hen player we selected 1st wanted our (mr fuckface)
2019 is so so
2020 too early IMO
I think overall we aren’t in A territory
But o don’t think a B grade is so bad
He was shaking his head, because you were railing on Grier a little bit, a little bit, but I agree with what you wrote.
A GM can only be as good as the HC allows him to be, meaning he has to pick the right type of players and the coach has to use them properly.
Flores is and will make Grier look better than he is, because of his schemes and how he uses/motivates his players
I see Grier’s GM skills as adequate or maybe a little above average, where he excels is working with Flores as a team and neither seems to have a big ego.
Flores I see as a great coach, with people skills, but isn’t everyone’s buddy, because he’s soft on them, but, because they believe in him and see the job he’s doing. The kind of coach players will go to war for
Piggy request that there be no politics and everyone takes their ball and goes home. LOL
Slow day on the ol’ blog today.
The big ole meany he is🤪
Have less to talk about and there will be less talk. And part of it is we are in the post-FA pre-draft dead zone when it comes to Phins news. Did a google news search for the Phins yesterday….. wasteland.
Which former Dolphins player still in the NFL would you want back?
By Kevin Nogle SBNation
Marino, he still works for the NFL 😉
Mostert or OV maybe? Not really a lot of guys we’ve gotten rid of that I think could help, except maybe Minkah, but…
Tunsil or Fitzpatrick are probably the highest quality former Fins out there but at least we got really good trade value for those guys
If you say Tunsil, you have to including that big fat 22m per yr contract. I don’t want that contract, and why I didn’t mention him
Yes but there was no qualification about contract just which one you would have back he is clearly one of the better OTs in the game. I was not happy when he was traded but in hindsight I think it worked out great for us
Gotta look at the whole picture, just like when he was traded.
When he was traded we knew he was due for a large contract

An astonishing 91% of Kyle Pitts’ catches resulted in a TD or first down in 2020. He didn’t drop a single pass. He’s the most athletically gifted TE prospect in the draft in over 10 years.
The more shit like this that comes out the less likely we get him
Teams interested in him already know this, just referring to how much better he is.
I hear Jerry Jones has a woody for him and may trade up to 4 to get him
Not that it means anything, but…Pitts would be available after Fields at 4 and Chase at 5.
That’s what we want…. a 4th QB taken in the top 5. Other luck in is Sewell to the Bengals.
I prefer Pitts, but just leave one of Pitts/Chase
Pitts, Chase, Smith and Waddle can all play the slot, so they’d move right in as WR3, maybe Williams would give some competition too
Based on a couple twitter polls pretty clear who folks want at #6. And yeah not exactly done by Gallup…. but margin of error don’t matter based on the results.
Both polls assume 4 QBs go up front.
Poll 1
Assuming the Cincinnati Bengals take Chase at #5, the Phins should take.
Pitts 83 percent
Sewell 8 percent
Smith 7 percent
Waddle 2 percent.
Poll 2
Assuming the Cincinnati Bengals take Sewell at #5, the Phins should take.
Pitts 71 percent
Chase 25 percent,
Smith 4 percent
Parsons 0 percent.
Ok, so it looks like we won’t draft Pitts under any scenario🤪
Just need that 4th spot to be a QB. Don’t think the Bengals would take Pitts, but then again they could trade down with a team that will.
Who is Who? And who would you prefer at face value?
Player “A”

Hint: these are all pass-catchers and the oldest one was drafted in 2007.
Scratch that… oldest was drafted in 2005.
I will take player “D”.
Who is Kyle Pitts Alex.
BOOM!!!
Yes, player “D” is in fact Kyle Pitts.
How about the others?
Hint 2: one of these guys just recently passed away.
Aaron Hernandez
Good guess, but no.
Vincent Jackson
BOOM!!!
Vincent Jackson is player “C”.
VJax was #3
Since Pitts is gone….. I’ll go with Player A Alex. 🙂
I’d go with player “A”, too! But who is he?
Here’s a hint for player “A”: he’s entering the HOF this year.
If you want me to know that I ventured onto the wrong board, but will throw out Vernon Davis cause pretty sure he is one of them.
Great guess on Vernon Davis, and I almost included him! But sorry, no.
Megatron
Player “A”
Who is Calvin Johnson ALex
BOOM!!!
Calvin “MEGATRON!!!” Johnson is player “A”!

Vincent Jackson missed what this tweet addresses by a mere tick (4.46), but Kyle Pitts qualifies.
And THIS is what the purpose of this exercise was all about… WOW, Kyle Pitts is — in fact — ELITE.
Great quiz M13. After reading all those similar metrics was left with a Q — why is Pitts a TE instead of a WR? And that may have been your point. Some of you folks who scouted him more might have the answer.
Stanger!!! You got the purpose of the quiz, sir! Pitts is essentially a WR with ELITE traits!
But FL still played him at TE. Even if yeah he ran a bunch of WR routes. Assuming if we got him he’d at least be lining up on the line at times.
Indeed, Stanger… he’d be a total NIGHTMARE for opposing Defenses to account for.
He’s too tall for CBs to cover, and too fast for LBs to cover.
I believe the reason Pitts was at the TE position at UF is because he could be that. In college you just put all the talent you have on the field on O and pull the trigger.
He’s a gifted athlete he does it all and allows specialists to do what they do. Jmo.
Now here’s the second purpose of my quiz… we already have (big and tall) DeVante, Preston Williams, and Gesicki. Do we really need or want another ‘big and tall’ target for Tua, or would we rather go with another speed-demon to augment Will Fuller… so as to replicate the Alabama Offense Tua was used to? I honestly don’t know… just pointing something out.
Vincent Jackson fit the quiz so perfectly (just missed the 4.45 cutoff by a tick), as I’m reminded how Phil Rivers had the 3 TOWERS in San Diego: V-Jax, Antonio Gates, and my man Malcolm Floyd. Seems we HAVE that right now in Miami with DeVante, Preston, and Gesicki.
Seems we may need more speed for Tua.
2 of them are rarely on the field. I think this year is Williams last chance to show something or else he is not worth a roster spot anymore
I agree, Ken.
Williams is gonna be 3rd WR on the outside (so sitting a lot). Parker and Fuller will start. Gesicki will play a lot. Seems boils down to whether the other non-RB option is Pitts or Chase/Smith/Waddle. Life could be worse for Tua.
Williams has shown he can play but he can’t last a season. That’s the only negative I have with him.
I don’t agree Ken, so you’d rather have Mack Hollins or someone like him?
Preston has been hurt, that just means he won’t make the big bucks after this year, if he goes on it again
So when it’s all said and done, I have no doubt we’re targeting a WR (yes, I’m calling Kyle Pitts a WR for all intents and purposes) @ R1P6. And as Ken just stated above, two of our WRs aren’t reliable enough from a health standpoint.
NO… Kyle Pitts would not replace the incredible Mike Gesicki, in my eyes. Pitts is an OW (Offensive Weapon).
If we draft Pitts, I hope to see him and Gesicki together for a lifetime in Phins uniforms. That would be incredible!
Would like that too. But Gesicki is going into a contract year. And Pitts coming here would make it easier to let him go elsewhere.
My guess is they would tailor the O to Pitts and Gesicki for a majority of plays and sees whether it works.
I would think we’ll re-sign Gesicki. Why develop a playmaking TE then let him walk? The idea is to keep your own guys when they produce. I don’t see him breaking the bank either.
SMO (strictly my opinion)… Gesicki is emerging as one of the best TEs in the league. If drafting Pitts means even possibly letting Gesicki go after this season, I’m out on Pitts.
That would mean overkill on the TE position when we don’t need help at the TE position: we need help elsewhere. Should that be the case, I’m with Piggs on drafting Chase instead.
Gesicki is a FA after next season. That means there is a chance he walks whether we want him too or not. And I really like the guy. Don’t see any way around if we take Pitts there will have to de a different scheme cause assume we would play both. And yeah if you take a stud of the world high-end hybrid TE means you have less need for two….. unless you want to play a scheme with both.
I hate when people call the current league year’s future games next year😉
The league year started in March, the games in 2021 are this years games
Randy mentioned LB Jamin Davis the other day and I saw a piece on him on NFLN today. He could be a guy we target. Long LB with big time speed ran in the 4.4s.
Late riser and I dig him. We could use a ‘Wildcat’ on the Defensive side on the ball, haha!
LOL
Watch this with fresh eyes: it’s our highlights from last season (I watched it last evening). Mike Gesicki is an outright STUD MUFFIN(!!!), and we’re so much worse without him. He and DeVante lit it up last year…
(PS: my man ORob WILL point out how we lost steam once Tua came in! LOL)
I saw that yesterday, and agree
YESSIR! We’ve got some building blocks, and Gesicki is one of them, to be sure.
That was refreshing!
Remember that Godsey as one of our co-offensive coordinators is also still our TE coach. So maybe he likes TEs. 😉
Cool!
That’s good, because he needed to drop a few. I think someone may have spoken to him
Stanger, I like the idea of having two good go-to TEs. Belichick is doing that this year.
I’m all for Pitts….. so yeah like that idea as well.
My 3 Qs are
1 — does it work?
2 — does it work for Tua?
3 — who is gonna block?
On the last — Gonk and Hernandez could block. Not so much with Pitts and Gesicki.
Works real well for Tua, and why he struggled at times last year.
His strength is throwing the quick slant, if you have 2 TEs one of them is going over the middle a lot
Gesicki’s blocking improved quite a bit last year and Pitts is considered okay at blocking but that’s not what you’re drafting him for. Pitts and Gesicki don’t have to be on the field together all the time. Smythe is our top blocking TE and we just extended him. If we want to improve the running game, having 2 TEs on the field and at least one who can also be mismatch in the passing game is a nice thing to have. Lots of ways to make it work. You also need depth at TE and Pitts would make us loaded at the position.
We ran 12 personnel a lot last year and effectively, that won’t change, especially, if we draft Pitts.
Gesicki doesn’t need to be on the field 50 plays a game, he’ll get his balls, 7 or so a game
Agreed, Steve.
I’m all in on Pitts, but what trying to figure out is the running plays. But since we know which way we are going…. them having to cover the 2nd TE on the other end of the line will help. Especially since that guy can slide wide and be the #1 target any time. Might help with play action as well.
Exactly Stanger. Pitts can also just simply line up as a WR at times and you can also have Gesicki and Smythe on the field. Lots of ways to utilize multiple TEs. Adam Shaheen is another quality TE. If we utilize 12 personnel often, you keep the opposing defense big and that’s a mismatch with play-action because LBs are going to have a tough time covering these guys all day.
M13
I’m less concerned with size vs speed and more concerned with a versatile WR that I know can play in the slot and move outside of necessary
If we have Pitts, Parker, Williams and Fuller at the top of our depth chart, what I’m looking for is a guy who is comfortable in the slot but can be comfortable outside if those guys miss games (which I honestly think we can count on)
That’s why I am talking up Amon St Brown. I think he has that versatility
So does Pitts and the 3 top wrs in this draft
Many of you have a great head-start on me, due to this COVID-plagued year: I barely watched any college ball this past year and it was the last thing on my mind for the first time in forever.
I thank all of you, kindly, for your takes, reviews, thoughts, research, etc.
First time in forever that I’m relying on YOU(!), instead of my own eyes. Great job, ALL!
I’ll check Amon St. Brown out… and I’m sure I’m going to like him! Thanks!
Put me in the group that believes even if we draft Pitts and he’s a stud, we’ll do our best to resign Gesicki. Gesicki has been durable, reliable, has improved each year, and IMO still hasn’t reached his full potential. Assuming Pitts is who we think he is, resign Gesicki and that is one hell of a TE room.
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!
That’s what I’m talking about!!!
And of course you meant to re-sign Gesicki… not to have him resign. 😉 LOL
lol, yes, we will not force his resignation 🙂
Is anyone in the group that doesn’t want to keep Gesicki long-term? But real world is real world. He’ll be a FA and can go anywhere he wants. If we take Pitts maybe he’d prefer to be a Kelce for another team instead of the #2 TE on ours.
Gesicki wants to stay in Miami, but if we play hardball he may just leave
No need to worry about that now. Let’s stay focused on 2021. 😉

Preston has been hurt, that just means he won’t make the big bucks after this year, if he goes on it again
————————-
No I would rather draft new and better talent
Williams is a talent though. There were times when he was our top WR in some games. He has to figure out how to avoid season ending injuries though. He’s 2-2 so far and hopefully this year that ends.
He should be playing less, so…
That’s not what I’m talking about. Preston won’t be starting this year, if we draft Pitts or 1 of the 3 top WRs they’ll likely be 1st team in the slot, so as a replacement for him you’d rather have a lessor player?
Parker, Fuller, let’s say Chase in the slot as starter. Gone are Grant, Wilson, Hurns, Foster. That leaves Williams, Bowden and Hollins or you get rid of Williams and replace him with a 3rd rd WR. I’d rather have Williams over the other 3.
Gronk was also hurt a lot early in his career, that worked out pretty well
Did anyone here forget?
The Miami Dolphins can do so much with the 36th overall pick
by Brian Miller2h ago
We tend to forget that the Miami Dolphins are not just picking twice in round one but also have a top 10 pick in round two as well
I didn’t forget. #50 is not too shabby either. 🙂
That was rhetorical, probably should’ve left off the question mark
Brian is a nice guy. Used to play FF with him. He lived the fan dream…. turned being Mike E on the site he created into a full time paying job. My impression is he stopped running the joint when sold out to corporate though.
Run the football utilizing heavy TE looks and rotate your WRs keeping everyone really fresh and wear defenses down. If we draft Pitts we’re going to play him quite a bit so there probably won’t be much of a need to draft a WR because we have enough to rotate with the heavy TE looks. We’re going to use some spread with 3 WRs and the RPO game, so we can really create a lot of challenges for opposing defenses.
That’s what I’ve been saying too, but maybe we just want to kill it on O and take Pitts at 6, then wr at 18 and an RB at 36
Well I do think RB will be drafted but I’d like to mix a Edge/OLB in there.
Right on! And that’s why I like the Pigster looking at speedy WRs on day 3.
We do have speedy WRs on the team now in Fuller, Wilson, Bowden and Foster. Not sure how everything will shake out on the 53 but it’s not like we don’t have speed. Parker and Williams aren’t slow either.
I don’t want too many rookies at skill positions because not all rooks are ready for a big workload right away. We need a mix and there are only so many touches to go around.
Stang, maybe you’ve missed it, but I’ve seen it floated on this board that if we sign Pitts we’ll let Gesicki walk because he’ll be due a payday, and signing Pitts is basically to replace him.
I’m saying (and I believe the team will look at it this way too) I would rather we pay him unless some team throws ridiculous money at him and he takes it instead of signing here.
Gesicki may walk, but I’m sure the team will do what they can to keep him.
He’ll be looking at a North of 10m per year contract
Cav — he’s a $10 mil player to me. I’ll bet you that if we don’t draft Pitts that we lock him up early during next season. Sign Pitts and wait till the off season.
I think regardless of if we draft Pitts, we’ll still try to extend Gesicki during the season because that is the smart play either way.
But just because we try doesn’t mean it will happen. He may want to hit FA.
Chances are we don’t draft Pitts…. lets see if we do or not. No answer without that.
I would think, if we ran a lot of 12 personnel the TEs would be subbing often, with Smythe playing more on early downs
Yep!
Sorry Piggy, not impressed with St. Brown especially when he had been training hard to put up a good time at his pro day and could not break 4.51. I want someone faster and more elusive. IMO, St. Brown lacks a little of both. He looks slowish on the field to me also.
Give me an elusive sub 4.40 guy for the slot in Tylan Wallace or Marquez Stevenson. Both not smallish at 5’11. Stevenson is built a little like Devonta Smith but a little heavier.
No Tutu though. He is smaller than Grantman and don’t think he will last in the NFL.
The biggest bone headed thing we could’ve done in this draft was stay at 3.
Not sure we can screw it up too much, unless we go Slater at 6 and Paye at 18
It’s fun to talk about the multiple TEs and skill positions, but whoever we draft, if those players make us better and we win a lot of games, it won’t matter who we drafted.
Unless a QB goes at #4 and I’m not sure that will be the case, I think it’s only 50/50 that Pitts or Chase will be there for us at #6, and it won’t be both.
No reason to let Gesicki walk. He’s the guy we’ve been looking for, as Teddy KGB says, “Pay that man his money!”
Up to Gesicki too. But heck yeah hope they get him early and long-term.
Every year, we see some team willing to overpay for one of the top FAs. It’s easily possible Gesicki gets a deal like that and jumps at the money. If that’s the case, nothing we can do.
But some players will take real good money even if not the top offer to stay where they are, especially when they’ve been there from the start of the rebuild. Gesicki strikes me as possibly being that kind of player (pure speculation).
I agree and if contract talks haven’t started yet…gitter done
Edelman’s contract terminated, he’s expected to retire
The literally multi-million $$$ question is: when will the run on RBs begin?
A) WE start the run
1- Start the run with our R1P18, or trade back a few spots and start it
2- We might luck into the start of the run @ R2P4
B) We intervene after the run on RBs starts
1- Trade up to get a guy before we’re without a top RB prospect
C) We don’t value the RB position as high as most
1- We get a RB on day 3 or even FA, who we had graded higher than most, relying on our O-Line to pave his way
D) We’re relying on our current, in-house talent to get the job done
Most draftniks don’t think a RB will go 1st round. They’re saying that about DT too. I think the run on RBs starts at anytime in the 2nd round.
F) we don’t draft one and resign Washington
G) we start the run at 36
G
They must have activated some list I’m on. Yesterday got an e-mail from Matt Gaetz and today it is Don Jr.
You’re an FN republican hack now, watch out or you might get canceled
Long been a Republican. After gave to Rubio in 2016 was getting like 6 or 7 pitches a day from like every GOP candidate you ever heard of. Eventually called up the RNC said stop or will never donate to another GOP candidate again. Worked until now. Which yeah means Rubio passed on my info.
More than one way to get your info, like right off of the roll
What’s the roll?
Kong, we could talk extension before the season, show the guy some love and maybe he stays. I understand we can get outbid once FA begins next season but we don’t have to let that happen
Agree with you and also Steve mentioned it in reply. See my reply above to Stang. Regardless of whether we draft Pitts or not, our smart move is to already be in contract talks to extend Gesicki before he hits FA so we can avoid that scenario.
👍
Still think we got the 2nd best TE in that draft. The stats agree with me too.
Matt Ryan can still play at a high level at QB so if the Falcons are going to roll with him for a few more years they don’t need to draft a QB this year. They’ll likely continue to build around him. Now if they trade down, it’s not a lock that the team trading up is going for a QB either. It could be for Pitts or Chase.

—————-
Oh, man, I agree with you, BIG-TIME!
I LOVE Slater, but we don’t need him… besides, Penei is better than him, and IMO… we don’t need him, either.
Kwitty Paye? He’s not what we need, and I feel he’s overrated. He’s Jared Odrick, 2.0. Now, that’s not a bad thing at all… but it’s not what we need, dammit!
I’ve seen your comments, Steve, and they’ve echoed mine… we have no need for a Paye/Odrick at this time!!! Paye is NOT a quick-twitch athlete (we agree to the nTH degree!), and he comes from Michigan, to boot… we already have enough of that type of player on our roster, and it’s not getting us anywhere.
We need a quick-twitch STUD to freak off the EDGE at this time. His name: Micah Parsons, IMO.
In short, I think Steve and I are on the EXACT same page. We need a stud on the EDGE.
Really just you too? LOL
Obviously meant “you two”. 😉
Trevor Lawrence got married on Saturday. Actually a plus for me in players. Less chances to get in trouble.
I wouldn’t bet on that, he could get into a lot of trouble with that there gold digger
Either she doesn’t want him to smudge her makeup or she’s not into him. I’m betting on the latter
Nah, he’s good, she’s signing the prenup on the 6th pic LOL
Actually, from the smile on her face, it probably says that he is only entitled to 20% of his NFL earnings, and she gets the rest if they ever divorce. LMAO
LMAO Cav
First time I’ve seen the groom with more glowing and flowing hair than that of the bride… at least in the modern era. LOL
That hair is gonna be worth millions of dollars in endorsements. Aaron Rodgers is in a commercial and my wife goes “who is that.” Will be no doubt with him.
She must be standing on a box, her knees are higher than his
Poor Jax, Lawrence’s mind won’t be on football
That wedding dress is…um…nice!
Way to kill a nice football discussion, Stanger. LOL
Thought Trevor Lawrence played football. No one had to respond. And anyone could start another thread. We going content management these days? LOL
BB/JK
Don’t think he was playing football that day or later that night. 😉
Least you say what you think Tim. And I appreciate that. 🙂

I’m still a fan that’s on board with what Grier and Flores do in the draft. Not going to nitpick them unless those picks don’t pan out in a few years. The end result is winning games and competing for a championship, not draft grades.
Very possible but not sure he’ll be there. Serious question, do you think he will be?
I’m at 50/50

April 12, 2021 at 3:38 pm (Edit)
So does Pitts and the 3 top wrs in this draft
****
Yes they do
The st brown scenario is if they pick up Pitts at 6
We already have slot guys on the roster. Faster ones too.
Yeah but….it’s a gamble to expect them to come around
M13, back to the RB question.
The run will either start us at #18 or the Steelers at #24
Steelers currently have a backfield led by:
Benny Snell
Kalen Ballage
Anthony McFarland
It is my guess the Steelers may go:
#24 Najee Harris
#55 Landon Dickerson or Creed Humphrey
I could be wrong and they go OT at #24
They can get RBs in other rounds too. I think Center is actually more important for them.
The s kind of what I think too
Very dangerous to pass on RB at 18 and hope one of two guys falls to us at 36
Big risk
Tim I find it hard to believe there won’t be a RB selected In the first round
I know we’ve seen that before, but I think Harris has made his,case to go before we get into the 30s
I was just saying that most of the draftniks are saying that. I wouldn’t be surprised if Najee goes 1st round. I made the case for him the other day at #6. LOL
To me he’s a 15-20 rush/5+ rec PG guy.
Piggy see my post right before yours.
I think it’s 50/50 Falcons take a QB and 70/30 they trade out to someone who takes a QB. I also think there is no way in hell Cincy takes anyone but Sewell. Their OL got their shiny new toy broken last year and they have WR already.
The Bengals have only 5 WRs on their roster. Could it be Sewell or another OL sure, but it’s not like they can’t address that in the 2nd round.
Talking heads sure are fond of Cincy taking Chase. But either way would be great to know they will not take Pitts. And real into a QB goes at #4.
That’s because it’s easy to draw a dotted line since they were teammates. Just like Smith and Tua.
But the lines also go to us taking Chase over Smith.

—————–
The Stealers* are my biggest fear to take the first RB off the board. But by most accounts (take it for what it’s worth), they absolutely need to address the O-Line first and foremost after their losses in FA and Pouncey to retirement. However, if Big Ben is to adapt to the game, he won’t need half a minute of protection any longer via an ELITE O-Line… meaning, Najee is the outlet valve for him in lieu of a weak O-Line. Najee could be their Le’Veon Bell part deux.
The Bills are the other team that might take a shot at the first RB, should the Stealers* not. While I think they need to work on a better pass-rush (as evidenced vs KC in the AFC Championship), their Offense may become unstoppable with the first RB off the board… think of the (Tri-force) days of Kelly-Thomas-Lofton in the 90s, reprised as Allen-Najee-Diggs… SCARY, to say the least.
I want COMMAND of the first RB to go off the board!
Nevertheless, patience may pay off. It IS possible that no RB comes off the board in the 1st round this year.
Happens a lot these days. Clyde Edwards-Helaire was the first back taken last year at #32.
I’ve told y’all my dream hope, yesterday…
— Falcons don’t trade out of @ R1P4 and take whoever
— Broncos want their QB, and trade up to us from R1P9 to R1P6, we get an additional pick(s), plus one of Tua’s favorite targets in Jerry Jeudy (that addresses our WR want/need)
— @R1P9, we select Micah Parsons, who is the best EDGE in the ’21 Draft (even though he’s considered a MLB/ILB)
— @R1P18, we get to select the very first RB… may it be Najee Harris or Javonte Williams
The rest of our draft is GRAVY after that!
I’m fine with all of that but don’t think it’s going to happen.
Right on, which is why I called it my “dream” 🙂
I dare to DREAM!
I know it was just a wishlist, but Jeudy has 12.43m in deadcap, so 100% it isn’t going to happen.
He also had a great year 52 856 3tds 16.5 and was their best receiver
Giovanni Bernard signs with Bucs
Just watched Paye again, trying to find what the hype is all about, looks worse every time I watch him.
He does the same thing everytime, just tries to overpower the OL and he never wins.
Still waiting for his first move, like a swim move, or anything.
Any GM that drafts him in the first should be fired on the spot
11.5 career sacks several of them against teams I can’t identify
With no one in front of him he has a good burst to the QB, but he has trouble getting off of a block
100% agreed, Steve. Paye is very overrated. HOWEVER, he could be a great fit for a team that runs a rotational 4-3 D… hence my comparison to Jared Odrick. Paye could play DE and DT, just like Odrick.
He is NOT the “EDGE” defender most view him as. He’s a 2nd rounder at best, IMO, to a specific Defense… and it ain’t US.
He’s worse, than the guy we took dead money to trade in Lawson. Why would we then draft a guy with less potential?
Don’t ever listen to Chris Simms
Chris Simms shouldn’t ever listen to himself, either.
Remember what he said, he wants to be a GM, if he goes along with what everyone is saying he’s a JAG, but if he hits on one he can claim he knows what he’s talking about
Tim – I’m almost positive Chase will be there. Almost . . .
I’m just trying to add anxiety for everyone. LOL

Spot on!
And with that said, we’re going to draft Paye… LOL!
I have no problem with Paye at #18. Not sure what you guys are missing? Charley Casserly said he can play all 4 positions up front specifically in nickel. We run mix it up and match it up on long down and distance on defense. Lance Zierlein compares him to Emmanuel Ogbah but Paye is more versatile. He’s a solidly built dude at 6-3/6-4 270 running a 4.54. This pick would not surprise me at all. He might go earlier.
Simms was right about Tua
Lol…Queue the broken record.
Cue….English is a funny language.
From the expert on QBs. A QB who was even’t close to his dad and his dad wasn’t that great either. Lmao!
Last month they were so sure Cincinnati was going to take Penei, the month before that the jets were taking him, now he’s going to Denver at 9.
I think he goes to Cincinnati
^wasn’t even….oh god
Somewhere grampa is smiling
The lyrics are “he sucks, he sucks, he sucks, he sucks, he sucks……….” LOL
SMH
Wrong spot for the reply? 😉
I’m not stuck on Chase, I’d be happy with Chase, Pitts, Sewell or someone else, or even a trade back. I do believe Chase will be our pick though
Gonna be good choices at 6 no matter what
It’s silly to focus one guy
(Piggy tries to hide his Jamarr Chase shrine as he posts this)
Was just talking to my friend who’s a Giants fan and we were saying at #11 there will be a really good prospect. The Dolphins and Giants are kind of on the same page with how they’re being built.
🤣
Why the knock on Kwitty Paye?
In our defense, he’s a fit.
He’s very unpopular around here
Some people hate him
I know, I don’t get it. This guy reminds me of John Randle but not a pure DT.
I haven’t spent a lot of time examine him
But his name brings volcanic eruptions to the blog
He might be some one we are looking at @ 18
That should be interesting to watch…
Really highlights? They’re for amateurs 😉
His highlights include Rutgers and some Schools not even as good.
Seriously Tim YouTube Paye game tape
I am an amateur. I don’t need to study game tape, the people who get paid to do that have him graded as a 1st round prospect.
In honor of the 60 day anniversary of this classic
This won’t be a popular pick at 18
But what if…
The pick at 18 is Rousseau 100%, even if Parsons is there
He’s a beast, just as good against the run, if not better. Gets doubled a lot, running plays go to the other side, he doesn’t have a great 40 time, but with his length, height, long arms, wingspan and big hands He’s tough to get by.
Heard he may have had a nagging injury at pro day, but it doesn’t matter he plays quick and fast and should be a good defense to Josh Allen scrambling
Davis is going to eat next to him
I think Paye is a second round pick, myself. I don’t see top half of first round, but that’s the way the draft goes these days. I don’t evaluate him as a big edge rusher or sack guy. He probably won’t be, but this regime doesn’t…or hasn’t…gone after big edge rushers. They want well-rounded, versatile guys who play hard and smart. They can fit him in anywhere, and he will give you a consistent effort and production. He won’t give you a dozen sacks, but I’m not so sure these guys care about that. Evaluated from that perspective, he makes sense….but I still wouldn’t draft him at #18. I think there will be better value there.
IMO they want pressure from the Edge, we didn’t get much of it from Lawson, so he’s gone.
We also need someone to contain Allen, that’s not Paye, he rarely over powers an OL.
He’s an OK rotational DL, but after 4 years he won’t have 10 career sacks.
Draft him and the only one he may be better than is Strowbridge and that’s debatable
And he has zero moves, he just tries to muscle the OL and that’s not his strength
We had some trouble last year rushing 3 and dropping 8 on 3rd and long, with Ogbah, Rousseau and Davis we’d get a pretty good 3 man rush
steve,
I know I keep saying this, but Lawson was never going to be a big edge rusher/sack guy. I don’t think they signed him to be that, and I don’t think they released him because of it. Now, maybe they thought he was gonna make a big jump in sacks and signed him because they felt that way. But, if that’s the case, they screwed up. The guy is a 5-7 sack a year guy. That’s it.
***
Also, if you watch how we play, we don’t really set up our defense to just have one guy constantly rush the QB off the edge. NE doesn’t either, and we play similarly. I’m not so certain that’s a big concern of theirs. I get that it is for you but maybe not for Flores. I think he wants pressure from anywhere and everywhere. To be able to take advantage of each week’s opponent and figure out where to most effectively bring pressure…to disguise pressure…not just hope an edge rusher gets home consistently. Just my take. I’m just trying to go by what we’ve seen so far.
I think your bottom paragraph is what everyone here believes to be fact, and a sort of given into what I said.
They realized Lawson wasn’t special, he played close to how he’s played his first 4 years, but they want to go in a different direction, because they’re trying to beat Allen with more pressure from the side opposite Ogbah.
When Ricky lit it up for us that 1st year, our division opponents all went out and got a run stuffer. Flores wants to find the comparative to that for Allen. I think that’s Rousseau
3 man rush schemes aren’t really designed to get pressure on the QB. They are coverage schemes. DL are usually coached to maintain containment and not to let the QB move laterally. If you get pressure, great, but you don’t expect 3 to beat 5…or more. A sack is gravy.
I understand that, but at the same time you can’t let the QB just stand back there forever, and if he wants to it should result in a check down or coverage sack
Pp…Brooklyn city, MN man mentioned yesterday was pulled over for expired tags NOT outstanding warrants. Supposed to be tazed, but somehow shot to death. Meh.
Death for expired tags. Reasonable use of force?
Seems like a problem to me.
Yes, pulled over for expired tags and when they ran his ID they found the warrant. At that point he resisted and got back in his car. Cop reached for her taser, got the pistol instead. Grips feel about the same. That she only fired one round supports that she thought she had the taser. Piss poor training. However, if MN man had not resisted, had not climbed back in his car, had not been a criminal he would be alive. Maybe in jail (briefly), but alive.
I thought the tazers were specifically worn on the non-dominant side ‘to help you remember’. Poor training, bad reflexes….hard to understand, but I’m trying.
BPA at #6!
I would never want to be a cop, for sure.
I know NO one on this blog thinks “power policing” is color prejudiced, but I sure am glad I’m white. I love my white privilege!
Just wondering where all the videos are of white people getting pulled over for broken lights, expired tags or registration being shot to death. I would love to see those, just to be fair!
On that same token, you won’t see countless videos of blacks ignoring police commands and police getting shot at or attacked because that’s not what the media wants to portray, it’s all about disparaging cops. It’s the popular flavor these days. Sure, these few incidents make police look awful, but think of how many crimes police respond to each and every day all over the great USA, and how small the percentage of these terrible incidents with cops shooting “innocent” people. It’s too high, of course it is, but defunding, demilitarizing police isn’t the answer. It’s a two way street, citizens need to cooperate with police and if that poor guy didn’t get into his car and ignore commands, he’d still be alive today. That aspect doesn’t matter much to the people who want to dismantle the police.
its not up to the media for police reform, its up to the communities
also want to say we cant assume that all cops are perfect, and if we dont do anything wrong, we wont have any problems. there is NO excuse for the cop that murders while being paid by taxpayers
cops are not judges, nor GOds
they should NOT be worshipped or assumed to be infallible
Here you go.

I’m. going back to cave now. Hadn’t watched TV or news for several days and now wish I hadn’t.
Getting into “David” territory…..lol.
nothing wrong with being informed, sure glad i knew about BTC a few years ago. lol
gonna be a btc millionaire if this keeps up
it hit $61,000 !
and i have 100X margins on it
there’s a big drop off from 81 to 156, i would think we trade back one of our top 5 picks to get more in the middle rnds of this draft.
i would take williams at rb over all the other guys, i think ettiene will be drafted before harris, harris scares me just like tua did last year.
if you figure we have parker, fuller & williams as our starting recs, then we have grant, wilson, bowden, ford, hollins, foster,
where does a jamar chase or devante smith fit in?
now consider gesicki as a UFA in 22.
it seems very likely that Pitts fits best for this team at #6
Wasn’t Ford cut already? I’m not on the Chase train (rather take Parsons at 6), but Parker and Williams have proven fragile, Grant only catches about half of what hits his hands, Wilson is an unknown after a year off, Hollins and Foster are special teamers. So I could see taking Chase or Pitts, who can play WR or TE.
No one assumes all cops are perfect, but the fact that we have police in the first place means our citizens aren’t perfect either. There are proportionately more crimes than there are bad police. Better parenting and community involvement is a good start
they are all bad until they are needed
They are not all good. Some are just dicks. But most are trying to a really hard job, best they can because they care. What I don’t get is this love for criminals. I’ve said it before – being a criminal is an inherently dangerous profession. You, and only you are responsible for your choices and actions and the consequences that follow..
the cashews are out, and for the grace of god go i.

thats a horrific story, cops are cowards and in this case, executioners of the mentally disabled
the kid had the obsolete thought, if i call the cops, they will come and make everything right.
he should NOT have called the cops, they do NOT make everything right
You confuse mental health issues with mental disability. Also you are confusing the point of the article if that is what you got out of it.
note to self, 3 football posts on a football blog go unnoticed while political rantings are always the topic of the day here.
why do i waste my time?
we should rename this place to political mob unleashed
you posted tua hate and lies thousands of times, they SHOULD be ignored at this point
this is a Dolphins room, and there are some fans here, lol
google the term football fans and get back to us
David, you pollute this site, you do realize that don’t you?
lol says the guy that hates Dolphin players and trashes them constantly
whatever
i don’t “hate” anyone, including you, I don’t like the play of certain players and i call them out,.
are we required in your mind to like the ability of every player that wears a dolphin helmet? regardless of how they produce on the field?
take for instance Tua and his less than 100 yard outputs in 3 of the 9 games he started,
take another 3 games where he had less than 200 yards,
and of the 3 games he had over 200 yards we went 1-2
in your mind, are we suppose to like that?
I think people on this blog really hate Twitty Paye because he wears the number #19 and that’s really triggering for some Dolphins’ fans.
I think he will be gone before we pick @ 18, he’s an offensive disruption for what ever scheme he fits. Minnesota should take him at 14
Steve – Rousseau at 18 is the definition of a reach. Kid has one year of playing sandwiched between redshirting and opting out.
4.6 40, would be a total bust at 18
Reach? No way, a bust maybe possible, that’s where you have to interview and try to see what’s in his head.
I saw an interview and liked what I saw.
His long arms, big hands, tall frame allow him to be in Canton some day, that’s how special he can be with the right work ethic. He’s the guy that gets results, and doubled so others can eat.
Flores likes to disguise pressure, that will make it hard to stay on a double team of him at times.
At 18 you want a guy that can be special, a guy with a high ceiling
If Miami takes Pitts , or Chase at 6, and then selects Etienne at 18, the offense will be explosive and high scoring for years to come
