Less than 2 weeks away, and the closer it gets, the crazier it becomes. I’m willing to eat some crow here if I’m wrong, but those of you fawning over Micah Parsons or any other defender for that matter, are barking up the wrong tree. I mean no disrespect, but no matter how good our defense is, if we don’t surround our QB with premium weapons, why would you expect the offense to be premium? Let’s face it, the NFL is an offensive league, and the Kansas City Chiefs have proven that to be the case by making back to Super Bowl appearances, winning last year in 2020 but losing to the offensive powerhouse Tampa Bay Buccaneers in this past Super Bowl. Did TB have the better defense? Yes, but their defense was a compliment to their own high powered offense. The TB offense put up 492 points (#3 in the NFL) and allowed 355 points (8th in the NFL). The Miami Dolphins on the other hand were #15 in the NFL on offense, and to be fair, a lot of that was a decline in the offense after Tua took over for Fitzpatrick. The Dolphins averaged 26.6 points with Fitz at the helm and only managed 24.4 with Tua, including a couple of relief appearances by Fitz which helped that average. On defense, the Dolphins were #6 for points allowed at 21.1 PPG. My point is, if you think we’re taking a LB at #6, THINK AGAIN!!!
The Dolphins have to improve this offense and that could be done a few different ways. I’ve made it clear and will continue to reiterate that our WR corps is shaky at best. The top 3 are all health question marks, Parker, Fuller and Williams. The next 3, depending on what order you believe the depth chart is would be Bowden, Hurns and Wilson. The latter 2 haven’t played in over a year and were both recovering from serious injuries, Wilson with that terrible hip injury which he seemed to have finally shaken off by his last season’s end and Hurns who suffered a gruesome ankle injury with the Cowboys in January of ’19. Add Jakeem (No Hands) Grant and Malcolm Perry, Mack Hollins and Robert Foster and I’m sorry but you just can’t expect Tua to improve with this crew. No, they need TOP SHELF talent, and being at 6, we will get it. One of the following players will be there, Chase, Pitts or Smith. I had dismissed Smith for a while because once we acquired another WR who can’t stay on the field, my thought was the last thing we need is a 170 pound WR at #6, but there is familiarity and a super high level of talent there, and in spite of his smallish stature, he knows how to stay on the field and is a superior route runner who gets separation. I still believe if Chase or Pitts is there, we will go with one of those guys but if the Falcons don’t take a QB and the Bengals don’t go OL , potentially Pitts and Chase could go respectively.
While the O-line was much improved, from terrible to average, it’s not yet become a force. I think it’s pretty clear that both Solomon Kindley and Robert Hunt are our guards for the foreseeable future, and Austin Jackson is one of the bookends, most likely our LT. Penei Sewell could be that bookend that really pulls things together. I think the way we handled the center position in FA leads me to believe we’re going to draft a center, which would mean a 2nd or 3rd RD pick, because the acquisition of former Ravens C Matt Skura was underwhelming. The Ravens are a first class organization, and when they let a guy walk, there’s a reason. Add in the fact that he’s here on a 1YR deal makes me feel like Skura is here to start unless the rookie we draft beats him out or if the rookie isn’t ready to start. Sewell would be an upgrade over swingman Jesse Davis who has been wonderful filling in anywhere and everywhere. Giving Tua more time and confidence that he has ample time makes him a better QB.
I do think one of our first 4 picks will be on a LB/EDGE player, but not at #6, we just have to give Tua a chance here, and nothing we’ve done in the offseason despite a couple of potentially good signings in Will Fuller and Malcolm Brown have really elevated the talent here. Fuller is too often injured and Brown is a committee type RB, not a bell cow back. There are LB’s and tweener LB/EDGE guys that could help at #18 like Jaelan Phillips, Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, Kwity Paye, Gregory Rousseau, Azeez Ojularia, Jayson Oweh etc. I get the Parsons love, I do, but with the state of our offense, I think that needs to be the focal point for a premier player, just the way I feel. We simply can’t wait to see who’s available at #18, unless we trade up from #18, which is possible, it’s about getting great players that impact the team, not about quantity. Quality over quantity every time, especially where we’re at in the rebuild.
GO DOLPHINS!!!

Najee is quite the quirky cat, as I’d heard. That video was interesting. I can tell he’s from the Bay Area, and that’s not a diss at all.
I support the IDEA of black lives mattering… who wouldn’t? But moreover, I support the idea that ALL lives matter.
I applaud Najee for supporting black lives mattering… but the movement/corporation of BLM* is a con-job. JMO
Don’t want to delve into the political realm with my statement above, just wanted to mention that Najee showed leadership in the video above, while he does NOT want to be considered a captain: that’s humility and leading by example.
He reminds me of off-the-field Ricky in many ways… I’m trying to deduce if that’s a good thing or not…
People don’t need to be shareholders in the organization to support the ideas behind it
Most people support the idea and often don’t even know or care of there is an organization
Neither one of them behind the wheel? A fatal trust in the new tech.

Two men died after a Tesla vehicle crashed into a tree on Saturday night north of Houston. The 2019 Tesla Model S was traveling at a high rate of speed, when it failed to negotiate a curve and went off the roadway, crashing to a tree and bursting into flames.
After the fire was extinguished, authorities located 2 occupants in the vehicle, with one in the front passenger seat while the other was in the back seat of the Tesla.
Just got dose 1. As a reward I took myself next door to Baskin Robbins for one scoop of Baseball nut. If anyone thinks that isn’t the best flavor ever, fight me!
🍦
Feels good don’t it? Ken knows everything and he said to be sure to fully hydrate both before and after the 2nd shot.
I may have posted this one before. If so, it’s worth a re-watch. We’ve got to replace either of Shaq Lawson or KVN… preferably, with a stud pass-rusher…
To me makes the case for a guy like Parsons rather than an elite power guy. But heck yeah either way we need someone who will go after the QB.
BOOM!
Been to a few bill signings…. this blows my mind. Had nothing to do with the bill. But guess “Welcome to Florida.”
————————
“We only want to share one thing as you move in hundreds a day. Welcome to Florida, but don’t register to vote and vote the stupid way you did up North, or you’ll get what they got.”
— Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd at an “anti-riot” bill signing by Gov Ron De Santis (who laughed).
The delusions of grandeur are for real
Article didn’t have a pic of the sheriff…… but here’s what popped in my mind.
His quote gives that impression
But Polk County is actually pretty big
On Wikipedia it says they are the 89th highest populated metropolitan area. They actually are kind of closer to purple in our political spectrum than most places in the US. 2020 had 56% Republican and 42% Democrat
It’s right by Orlando
He’s obviously trying to play up to generalizations. But that’s not anything new these days
Was just amazed at an elected official threatening people if they don’t vote right. In this case Yankee carpetbaggers like me. Same time, indicates he’s a bit worried about all the dirty lib Northerners flowing in.
He ran unopposed in 2020
He’s afraid of any opposition at all
He’s saying you left your former shit hole state, because you didn’t like the way things were run, so voting the same way here will lead to those same results.
Makes perfect sense
He’s ignoring the makeup of his own jurisdiction and the fact that people have been moving to FLA from the northeast for decades to fit a political narrative
How bout those violent comments by Maxine Waters today?
He’s just telling it like it is, a little logic that’s all
steve — you saying CT and Virginia are “shit hole states”? Moved to FL cause of the weather and it is a lot cheaper.
I didn’t see what waters said and I don’t personally care about what she said
He’s not being logical
Anyone fleeing a blue state bc of the way blue states are run probably wasn’t voting for those leaders in power anyway
He’s just puffing his chest out and playing into generalizations that people believe
There’s a lot of people like me in my state that are happy/satisfied with the way the state they live in is run
The #Dolphins have already made two moves in the NFL Draft and they may not be done yet: Sources say they’ve received calls from teams looking to trade up to No. 6 and it is something they’re considering. Lot of things in play, but Miami could be at it again.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 19, 2021
We can sit at 6 and see who drops and then make a decision
Would be crazy to trade down and get more picks again
But you can see how it can happen
If they wait until they’re on the clock they can see how far they can drop, but if someone like Chicago is calling, that’s a long way to go.
I want a top receiver, and if a qb needy team is calling, making pick 6 the 5th qb to go…
I’d expect a trade up from 18, if we trade back past 18
^
completely unrelated to anything;
WTF knew Negan was a high-school gum teacher before becoming a post apocalypse warlord.
I haven’t watched that show in so long
Good thing we don’t need one
CORRECT!
I can see us dropping to 9, then up to 13 for the same comp
That might work
But at 9 you probably miss out on chase or Pitts
If you value Waddle Or Smith the same, it can work
But if you think like I do, 9 is too far unless chase or pitts are already gone at 6
Fyi
As far as I am concerned there is a big 2 at WR (I’m calling Pitts a WR):
Chase and Pitts
Then Smith and Waddle are the next tier below them, but still worthy of picks in the upper half for the first round
I think Smith will be better than Chase, at least for us
This blog is so random.
We should go back to speaking about aliens
What do you mean Herd?
El Arroyo Texas Mex Rest sign:
A big nose isn’t an excuse for no mask, I mean, I still wear underwear
and your worried about a polk co sherriff?
I’m actually not worried about the Polk Co sheriff – I just know pandering and finger pointing when I see it
A Tucker Carlson circle jerk isn’t going to change that
He really shouldn’t need to shit on other parts of the country to appeal to his own constituents
Maybe next time he runs, if he’s actually opposed this time, he can try to sell his constituents on his own ideas if he has any of his own
Putin has ordered hits on american soldiers in afghanistan when it stops trump from pulling soldiers and suits the left politically, but when they want to reverse that narrative now that they are in charge it was disinformation.
It’s laughable that you don’t see the hypocrisy of the left, never have you questioned the outrageous behavior of the left. you’re either blind or an accomplice.
Adam Schiff jr.
Is this an appropriate response to me commenting about the Polk Co sheriff clearly attacking the state that I live in for no reason?
Sometimes you are the epitome of a blowhard ORob
How can you not see that the sheriff is bad mouthing my home?
I never said anything in support of that sheriff, all people have the right to vote how they please. it’s just small potatoes in the grand scheme of things
Piggy, the reason he runs unopposed is because his crime rates have dropped as the population has expanded. His entire schtick is that his own good policies and their terrible policies show up in the results. He’s not wrong either.
Honestly, big city Dem policies on crime have never worked and continue to not work. They are trying to fix it, by making many crimes unreportable. I think that’s a terrible fix but it shows up less I guess.
Anyone who condemned Trump for inciting violence (Kong raises hand) should be right there condemning Waters’ dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric as well (Kong raises hand).
I mean even the effing trial judge came out and said it lays the ground for a retrial before the verdict has even come in yet, smh.
She’s terrible and has basically ensured he can’t have a fair trial and the results end up bad for Minnesota and the people who live there. Where’s she live again? Oh, California, so her incitement hurts her and her constituents not at all. Terrible person pushing for violence and ruining the opinion a lot of people have for each other.
Maxine wants an acquittal, so she can push the bs of the left
Rock, Negan was a gym teacher in the comics too.
I doubt anyone comes to this site to see you post Fox News videos
Is it time to have a war over clips for politics that everyone endorses?
She’s smok’n!
It’s hard to know what rumors are true or not. We have about 5 legitimate possible guys we might select at 6, and there is a real possibility we trade back a couple of spots too.
I can’t remember the last time I was this excited for a draft. It’s going to be fun to see how this plays out.
great video
Alright guys
ORob decided to make this blog a video collage of Fox News bc he’s offended that I mocked the Polk Co sheriff for attacking my home for no reason
I’m out
Enjoy your Fox News clips and “Tua sucks” comments. Should be stimulating stuff
stop getting your piggy tail in a knot, i could care less about a polk co sherriff, i agree that he shouldn’t be telling people how to vote.
Dude re-read your 7:51 post to me
Come back and tell me whether you think you were being an ass or not
And then I’ll decide which way my tail squigglies
I did read it, i wrote it, not trying to be an ass, trying to understand how you can defend that behavior. you never have any issues with the hypocrisy of the left, you defend them at every corner.
those videos are un-defendable.
just trying to understand your logic behind supporting the hypocrisy.
has nothing to do with a polk county sherriff
you dissmiss any negativity about the left, as quickly as you responded to the videos i’m sure you didn’t look at them yet you have an opinion on them.
Jeez, give him some molassis corn?
Nice
Piggy
I never said anything to you, you were not the only one commenting on the polk co sherriff,
I was just watching these videos and had seen the sherriff comments.
i thought they were trivial as to what the videos i was watching were, you’re the one who got all butt hurt.
You definitely said something directly to me at 7:51. I don’t know who you think you are fooling but that was clearly directed at me. I may have to read it again, but,I think I was called an “accomplice”…wtf!
If you didn’t mean to be an ass, I guess I can accept that you are effortlessly being an ass….lol…that’s just me busting balls…it’s okay to do, but come on, your 7:51 post is a little over the top.
I didn’t watch any of the videos you posted, the only thing I commented at all was the Polk co sheriff. I live in NY. I know that it’s not the place some people are trying to pretend it is. I don’t know why you think some one who doesn’t live here ignorantly talking about it is a matter of political affiliation. It’s not. It’s just ignorance. That’s not political. That’s a misrep of my home. Of course I’m going to defend that. It’s not hypocrisy.
I just don’t really want to engage is this stuff all the time every day anymore
Enough people have posted stuff about how annoyed they are by all the politics
I told David the other day that he won’t solve all the problems of the world on this blog, so I’m certainly doing it both ways.
TUCKER CARLSON FOR PRESIDENT 2024!
I’ve been watching him this whole hour, my bud.
Orob I think you’re right about Smith being the target and I think they want to make sure they get Harris too.
Then you’ll be wrong about Tua. Smith and Harris are special athletes, like the kind that become greats, so what if Tua gets his guys the two of them plus they know each other would be a lot of fun to watch for next several years.
Smith then Harris final answer
well i hope once Tua has Smith & Harris he can throw for over 100 yards a game, at that point he may get to 120 YPG!
I was on I-4 near Disney and guy had a girl on his motorcycle and there was only one helmet. Guess who was wearing it?
Unbelievable a guy would put a beautiful girl on the back of his bike (crotch rocket) take her on the highway and not give her a helmet in this case THE helmet. That ain’t right.
Was this his helmet?
That didn’t work
Tucker Carlson for President. LMAO now that is funny
you guys are as bad at politics as you are at QB evaluation!
People laughed that Trump would win once upon a time. After that, you really can’t say anyone is unelectable.
For the record, I do not support political discussion/debate/name calling, I wish there was less of it here. I hoped it would die out after the election. But, it’s what’s on the news, social media, everywhere, day in, day out, so not shocking it ends up on here. I used to watch the news most every day, Keep informed on what’s going on. I had to stop that. Too much bitching by everyone. Same goes for here.
Believe it or not, I’m watching less news lately as well. It’s great to be up on current events. But people are just pounding their fists on the desk now bout their opinions
you’re confused piggy, i definitely said something to you at 7:51 but i was responding to your disparaging remarks at 7:44. you didn’t even watch the video.
I never directed anything to you at 7:36, you’re the one snorting and slobbering after that.
New Age
This is specifically for you regarding nyc crime rates
https://www1.nyc.gov/site/nypd/news/p0106a/overall-crime-new-york-city-reaches-record-low-2020
These are the nypds own numbers
The crime rate as a whole went down. These are actually low crime rate numbers for a huge city.
Nyc Crime rates as a whole have been relatively low for about 20 years or more now. And in that time we have had republican, democrats and independent mayors
Generally speaking crime rates in cities around the country went up in 2020. That’s not a huge surprise in a bad economy. I really think it’s just not accurate to associate crime rates in cities, which are bound to have more crime than rural areas, with political affiliation. I just think thats a false and illogical narrative.
ahh what the hell,
did you read the article?
it says in 2020 shooting incidents are up 97%
murders are up 44%
Significant Surge in Shootings and Murders Amid the Ongoing COVID-19 Outbreak
The mayor is boasting a low crime rate when the actual horrific crimes are on an all time rise
I think you need to read the article
NYPD in 2020 confronted a + 97% (1,531 v. 777) increase in shooting incidents and + 44% increase in the number of murders (462 v. 319) amid the challenges of an ongoing international health pandemic that has strained city residents and the police officers sworn to ensure public safety for everyone. Burglaries increased by 42% (15,463 v. 10,909) and car thefts increased by 67% (9.038 v. 5,422). Through it all, the NYPD has worked to mitigate violence as reflected in a 29% increase (4,253 v. 3,299) in annual gun arrests for 2020 compared with 2019 – including 2,057 gun arrests in the last four months of the year.
I did read it, you’re sugar coating it in your post.
not only that but they decreased their police force to accommodate the Floyd incident.
New York City and its Police Department were buffeted by conflicting forces in 2020, as a historic low in overall index crime was accompanied by significant upticks in homicides, shootings, burglaries and car thefts. In calendar 2020
challenges for New York City and its police. From a diminished headcount beginning at the onset of COVID-19 to large-scale protests sparked by the murder of George Floyd in May
They didn’t cut the budget in response to George Floyd….lol
You don’t understand how fiscal budgets work if you think 2020 numbers are affected by a vote in response to an event in 2020. They vote for the nypd budget the year before it starts…in 2019….
Are you just keep trying to bullshit through this
I just assumed by the lack of headcount that they were anti police like all the left wingers
I know you assumed wrongly
That’s the problem. All that tucker is rotting your brain. Ask yourself this, in this day and age, when they can broadcast anywhere, even from home, why is tucker broadcasting from nyc every night. Bc he doesn’t feel safe here? Bc it’s a crime filled post apocalyptic mess…lol
You’d need a gun to get me on a motorcycle!
I’m all for keeping it football, stop the politics.
it starts with you left wingers
Why do I have to watch the video to avoid being called an accomplice and a hypocrite? I didn’t comment on the content of any of them.
Wtf kind of logic did you scrape those ideas from?
Are you really going to pretend that when you open with “and you’re worried about the polk co sheriff?” before the clip, you weren’t specifically referencing one of two people criticizing him a few posts before that?
What’s next? ‘The blog isn’t really on your screen right now”
Seriously….
are you drunk? i never called you a hypocrite, i said you are either blind or an accomplice for not seeing the hypocrisy.
you’re leading words that i didn’t say,
why don’t we just call it a night, David will be here in the morning argue with him.
Oh that’s so much better…
Here’s a video of Tua highlights
I’m not saying it’s a response to some one who always says he sucks but I just happen to be placing it in this reply
and i was just reading your crime rate article, i was ready to reply but i think i’ll with draw that.
Im not saying you would be likely to cherry pick what you thought helps your agenda
But If some one happened to comment at 9:48, they would probably cherry pick to fit their agenda
Don’t get bent out of shape about that. I didn’t specifically mention your name or anything…
You guys, LOLz! 😉
Hate to see all the fighting here, especially tonight. It’s 4-20 eve!
Lol….yep
And now it’s 420!

****
I didn’t think I would have to explain this to you
Look at the raw numbers, not the editorial of the agency who are campaigning for more money
I did, an uptick in gun related crime and murders, is there something good about that i’m missing?
Yes you are missing that’s not a charge or an arrest
The felony assault numbers are actually down, which is more likely how a gun related crime would be charged. The murder numbers are up, but not more than of the country
The numbers don’t actually support then editorial. The nypd has been campaigning for. Ore money. They do it every year. The annual budget for The 2020 year is voted for in 2019, not in response to the Floyd Incident in the middle of the year.
Murder rates in the entire country went up in 2020
Nyc at a lower rate than most cities
That includes fla citites like Miami and Jacksonville who each have republican mayors and republican governors
incorrect gun related crimes are reported as such.

in your post above you are commending this?
we killed a lot of people last year but the good news is our assaults are down.
that is not good, i’d rather be assaulted than murdered.
Are purposely just ignoring the parts of my posts that you struggle with
Miami up 28.6% Jax up 16% NYC up 37.3%
How is NYC lower than Miami and Jax?
NYC higher than the average
The averages are at the top of the tweet. Nyc is slightly higher than average. It’s very slight like 1%
I didn’t say Miami and Jacksonville were higher than NYC. I said they increased too.
The point is the whole country experienced this
Why are you guys so hell bent on denying this fact? The crime rates in the entire country went up. That’s undeniable.
shutting down NY breeds poverty, poverty breeds crime
Piggy,
I agree that it isn’t a fair comparison and thanks for the data. NYC has definitely done better the past 20 years than a lot of smaller cities. It has definitely had a variety of leaders and their police are top notch guys. Cities like Baltimore, Chicago, and LA wish they had the numbers NY does.
While I agree it isn’t fair, good numbers keeps any sheriff in office I also think that refusing to prosecute lower crimes (in many cities now) is the wrong way to do things. It encourages bad behavior. There are a lot of more liberal policing policies that I don’t think work and I think real evidence bears that out. Grady may be an ass who has the benefit of policing a smaller area but I prefer his policies. Maybe I’ll see that I’m wrong someday.
I don’t know thing about Grady other than his quote. My criticism is really about the generalization in his quote. Whatever his policies are, are up to him and his constituents not me. But for the love of all things decent – don’t bad mouth northern cities
Lol, I guess if you can’t say nice things….
He probably could have welcomed people moving to Polk and just talked up his reduction of crime stats over the years…he really didn’t have to take shots at other places that don’t see eye to eye with him.
He’s not going to be running against any nyc mayors in Polk
Just not that kind of guy from what I’ve read. Not saying he isn’t an asshole and blowhard. Karma could come for him at any time.
His policies are his business and the people of Polk
If he found the magic pill to stop crime, good for him and more power to him. But the dynamic between a city with 8 million people and 5 counties and a county with 600k are a little different.
He didn’t specifically reference nyc but it sounds that way to me
Did anyone watch Fluker last year? I remember him being kind of underwhelming at SD and has been a journeyman since. He only started 8 games last year so I’m not even sure he makes it out of the preseason. Competition is king so I’m glad he’s here but not exactly excited by the signing.
I didn’t watch him. But didn’t he start 8 games for the ravens?
He did. He’s worth a look for sure but at 342 lbs and 30 yrs old, I wonder at his ability to maintain for an entire game.
We did lose an OT to FA Davenport
the good news is, murder is only up 44%,
outstanding!
It’s almost like bricks are actually falling on your head as you post
And in football news:
https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article250780239.html
I must be in pay wall territory so couldn’t read it. Thanks for the effort.
Right click on the link and select “Open link In Incognito Window.”
I will try later on my computer. Don’t know how to right click on a cell….lol.
Ah…Copy the link and paste it into an incognito window.
Finally got to it. I think some of us are just done with the whole COVID thing.
I love the solidarity of the team on both the league-wide and team-wide basis. Sometimes those things are in conflict and choices need to be made.
Fluker played in all 16 last games last season for the Ravens, but started 8 at RT. Not sure if we’re looking at him as a starter or depth. I’d be surprised if he’s been counted on as a starter because his pass blocking is meh
Probably depth or the same role that had for Isaiah Wilson
Thanks for the effort Mike E. I think at 6 we get the best player available and all that will there will fill a hole/need.
This team needs more talent.
Translation: whoever is available at six will be a talent upgrade at a position of need….lol.
Time to begin the celebration!
Piggy – Over-generalization should be avoided. Everyone knows that NY doesn’t suck It’s only NYC and its suburbs of Connecticut and New Jersey that sucks! 😉
You love it here and you know it
Not me. I’m a small town and wilderness kind of guy. You can occasionally find some okay food there though.
Only thing that sucks about the Connecticut and New Jersey suburbs of NYC is the real estate prices.
Dunno….lot of you move to Florida. Must be a reason.
Cost of living and weather. Why live in the expensive place when you are living off fixed income?
From the article about offseason workouts starting today, the Fins players said they were in solidarity to skip them this year, but most showed up.
This is a push by the union to get rid of the OTAs and Mini Camps.
Not sure how much the vets need it unless something changed like an HC or coordinators, but the young guys sure do
Good for the players. Practice is necessary to be good at what you do. Glad to see these players wanting to be their best version.
The unions excuse was injuries were down last year without the in person off-season field work.
So was their performance.
Brady and Manning sure stepped up their teams play by using the offseason to get their timing down with their receivers.
The new TV contract is massive, they want to do less and get more
Yep. I always think it’s funny to hear how much they love the game but then want to take every opportunity possible not to play or practice any.
I don’t know shit about Fluker, just what you guys have mentioned.
Looks like Brian Miller thinks he’s great and a lock.

Miami Dolphins: 3 players that could be cut now that Fluker is on the roster
by Brian Miller12h ago
The Miami Dolphins adding D.J. Fluker will likely mean the end of someone’s time in Miami but the question is which offensive lineman will be gone?
Chris Grier made a smart move to get Fluker. He is a quality offensive lineman with a lot of starting experience and is consistent. Physical at the point of attack and good at both blocking for the run game and passing game. He can also play right tackle or guard
Don’t know if anyone watches the Falcon and Winter Soldier but the guy who plays Winter Soldier wants to play Luke Skywalker
And he has a pretty good case.
Damn, which one is the real one? On left?
Yeah the one on the left is Mark Hamill. The one with the 5 o’clock shadow is Sebastian Stan
That looks doctored. His images on the internet look more like Ryan Seacrest than Luke Skywalker
Hair is an exact match. Might have photoshopped in the face though.
That’s what I’m thinking too
But that’s how Hollywood is, they like people with blank slate faces. Think Carol Burnett and her many different characters she played
I’ve read that Sebastian Stan would be willing to play Luke Skywalker under one condition: he would need Mark Hamill’s blessings to do so. I’m sure Hamill would oblige.
I can’t see him refusing that
Absolutely agreed.
Just saw this
Now they’re going to be life long buddies…not that there’s anything wrong with that
Just a technicality, he wants to show respect
No doubt.
Same as what I tell my son, if you can do a favor for someone, that requires little or no effort, you should do it 100% of the time, then when you need a similar favor it will be returned, but don’t just do it for that reason, do it, because it’s the right thing to do
Definitely photoshopped
I’m certain I saw the original side-by-side of Hamill and Stan, and Stan didn’t resemble Hamill nearly as closely as shown above. I agree: it’s photoshopped.
DJ FLuker is 6′ 5″, 340 lbs.
Grier and Flores sure do like some junk in the trunk.
I always thought those 2 were too Buddy buddy
Guess who’s training with AP?
We can get more value from 18, if we don’t draft Najee, but enough with the trades time to get some talent.
We wanted Gurley, Zeke, an RB last year, but every time we were left holding our…
I hear ya, man. Perhaps we should just do it and take Najee @ R1P18. Hopefully, Greg Rousseau is still there for the taking @ R2P4. I think that could work, but Rousseau is going to need some time… that’s okay, though.
Yes, I saw that yesterday. Denver may be one of those teams. I hope you saw my scenario for as much… 🙂
How much is Jeudy worth straight up? Without a QB bump would figure #6 to #9 is worth maybe a 2nd and a 3rd or 4th.
Stanger, I don’t think we want to trade for Jeudy straight-up, being he was the 2nd WR off the board last year. But if the Broncos want to trade up for a QB, we should be able to pry him away.
Could we get a 2nd rounder in the deal? Possibly. But I’d say a 3rd rounder ensures it.
Was just asking how much Jeudy is worth in trade value. And have no doubt we could get him. Just not all that familiar so can’t kick the tires as to a trade with him involved.
If either Pitts or Chase is available some team is going to have to make us an offer we can’t refuse.
If neither are then let the bidding war begin. Don’t care if we trade down at that point.
Rough sketch for me, and will probably change my mind 100x between now and Draft Day…
R1P6: Pitts, Chase, Waddle or DeVonta (in that order)
R1P18: Najee
R2P4: Rousseau
R2P18: Dickerson (beware the injuries)
I’ve got Smith over Chase, but the rest is the same
It must be 4:20 somewhere!
Pretty mellow in Greenland and Eastern Brazil right now. 🙂
No disrespect intended whatsoever, being everybody has a vice nowadays (script or otherwise), but I can’t stand getting high! That feeling is no good for me and usually ends in vomiting.
Hey, to each their own. Happy 4/20 to you, my friend!
LMAO…..
Let’s catch up with MR. Pennington, shall we? This was from last week, on the Colin Cowturd show. I don’t like Cowturd’s take on Tua, but MR. Pennington is nothing but professional about it… and what he said about Mac Jones applies to Tua as well… THAT’S how smart MR. Pennington is…
I’m not sure what your exception was to Pennington’s take on Tua, but I thought it was pretty spot on.

—————-
Trade value is relevant to the trading team and the receiver of the trade. It’s difficult to tell with the Broncos, being Elway stepped down as GM and George Paton took his place. Perhaps there’s a new vision in Denver, perhaps not.
ROUGH GUESS, to answer your question… I’d say a late 1st rounder and some change. It depends on how badly Denver wants a QB, and how Denver truly views Jeudy after a year with Drew Lock… it’s really difficult to ascertain at this point.
Some will balk at only getting a 3rd rounder back (I went light to make it happen), some will say “HELL YEAH!”… we just got our WR in Jeudy, reuniting him with Tua! And that opens the door to make other things happen, so as to draft Micah Parsons and Najee before anyone else can.
Value is in the eye of the beholder, see.
Rough guess is all was asking for. Not even another team’s GM could do better. And that estimate makes sense as far as your proposed trade. thanks.
Not a problem, my man. But again, it’s just a rough guess, nothing more. I could be completely OFF on how the new Broncos view Jeudy right now.
Why do athletes say “Iron Sharpens Iron?” Iron doe not sharpen iron. It dulls it. Stone sharpens iron.
Jeudy had a 47.3% catch rate on 110 targets last year. Why in the world would we trade for him? It would take more than a 1st and a 3rd. it would need to be Tunsil-esque.
I like Smith better
Another team that is being talked about as far as trading up for a QB is the Bears, from #20. How much would they have to give up to make you pull the trigger?
I’m seeing a deal with #20 and 2022 and 2023 firsts for #6. And maybe something else thrown in if the QB bidding war breaks out.
Too far back, but we could trade up again, just seems like a lot of work.
They need to quit dicking around and just get a playmaker
We could turn #18 into #10 or #12 and pick up Smith/Waddle or Parsons. Spend a 2nd this year and walk away with firsts in the next two drafts. Has to be considered at least.
Verdict is in for the Chauvin/Floyd trial. Gonna be announced soon.
No matter the outcome rioting will take place.
That’s what the far left has done to this country.
Maxine inciting people
Who the are the people who gather in large numbers waiting for a verdict?
Assume same people who did protests after his now officially murder.
It’s on TV and you can access the info. on your phone.
Guess they chose not to see it over their phone. Am I missing your point on this?
It’s not a sporting event. Meanwhile the video clips show they’re all on their phones. LOL
Well that’s the modern age…. says a guy who barely knows to use his cell phone.
Taking a long time to announce. Not guilty?
That fucker better get something more than a slap on the wrist
Not a chance he gets off. Guessing Q is whether cities are going to blow up cause manslaughter is not enough.
If a team gives us an offer we can’t refuse for #6 than fine do it. There is some what would call premier talent in this draft and then there is a drop off but there is quite a bit of depth at multiple positions. It all depends on our board.
Chauvin guilty on all charges.
Guilty all counts
Long time since was in law school. But thought you couldn’t get convicted of both murder and manslaughter. Doesn’t the lesser included charge fall out at that point? And yeah get didn’t today.
For my fellow headbangers, guess who is going to see Motley Crue, Poison, Def Leppard and Joan Jett at Hard Rock in June?
Go get beers and take a piss when Poison is on. LOL
LOL
I’ve heard Tawny Kitaen has had some “work” done…

are they all still alive
Mostly
Now comes the appeals process. How long will that take?
It could take years but he will be serving time during the pendency
Years?
After a guilty verdict, you still go to jail pending any appeal
The appeal process never really ends sometimes
Finally, back from 4:20 break! What a day!
Never thought Chauvin would get off nor should he have. The entire world saw what he did.

—————
I’ve absolutely no idea why athletes say, “iron sharpens iron”… you and I both know better, but it is what it is. It’s a good sign that Najee is training with the likes of AP, a MONSTER.
Jeudy didn’t have a 47.3% catch-rate at Alabama with Tua… what happened? Perhaps it was Drew Lock throwing the passes? New scheme? I dunno, but we could use him, reunited with Tua.
It’s possible the Broncos are already thinking BUST with Jeudy… but maybe not. Buy low and sell high. I say buy low with Jeudy, and we’re going to see magic once again between he and Tua.
I count 50 yards in the air to Jeudy, before Jeudy takes it to the house.
Tua’s arm strength? CHECK
M13
I didn’t watch a lot of Broncos football
But didn’t Jeudy have a pretty good rookie year?
He did just fine. What I’m not sure of is if the Broncos are open to trading him.
Correct! That’s why I said that I’ve no idea how they view him right now, under a new GM.
If ya disqualify his 47.3% catch-rate, yeah, he wasn’t too shabby…
52 receptions, 856 yards, 16.5 YPR, and 3 TDs.
Imagine what he could do, reunited with Tua.
See, that 47.3% is beyond abysmal… I mean, BUST-LEVEL bad.
I’m not sure why we would be dicking around with the 6th pick because of trying to get the best “value”? At 6, you should be able to get a starter, fill a hole, and better the team. Next! Lol!
All about what is offered far as I am concerned. Would you turn down a RG3 or Herschel Walker deal?
Probably. We 5 picks in top 100 in this draft. It’s time to load up now and hit it.
We don’t need to keep kicking the can down the road.
Guess you throw 3 or 4 first picks at me to move down in the first round and I’d at least consider. Deal could include say 2 All Pro players as well.
Yeah, the iron sharpens iron moment was confusing to me. Some form of marketing gimmick is all I could come with. But, if you think about it, it comes back to rocks for jocks. Lol.
Alright, to move up from R1P9 (Denver) to R1P6 (US), it would probably take a 1st rounder (we’ll call Jeudy and his 47.3% catch-rate the 1st rounder) and some change… I say a 3rd rounder… $#!t, maybe a 4th rounder instead of a 3rd rounder.
I say we can make it happen!
I cancelled my subscription to PFF last year. In other words, I wish I could tell y’all what Jeudy’s catch-rate was from Tua at Alabama… I all but GUARANTEE it was above 65%.
How do spell ewww!
Glad Chauvin got his. He’s no good. That’s not a referendum on police, just him
Agree
Jeudy’s rookie year was plagued by numerous drops
Yes, we’ve been discussing that above… his 47.3% catch-rate from Drew Lock.
That stat is measured by catchable balls he failed to catch. It’s on the WR not the QB I get that you don’t think Locke is good but that doesn’t change the stat
We moved from 12 to 6 for a first. We move back even further and it’s still only worth a first. To move to 16 nothing short of two firsts. This F.O. would look crazy giving up a first to move to 6. Then getting a first moving back to 16
Krishna – I’m with you. Stop looking for great deals and start looking for great players!
Yep. It’s time to fill more holes today.
Tomorrow is another day and we’re already set up for that too. WTF?
It’s like a RB dancing behind the OL! Fucking pull the trigger, dude.
Ok so I may have read that wrong mf 13. We were at 9. What did we get to move to 9?
C’mon, man!!! LOL
We trade from R1P6 to Denver @ R1P9. They want a QB, badly, so as to move on from Elway’s mistake in Drew Lock.
WE GET: Jerry Jeudy and maybe(?) a 3rd round pick. Perhaps a 4th rounder?
I’m only talking about this trade if our target(s) are off the board when we select @ R1P6: likely Pitts and Chase.
And then we take Parsons at 9?
CORRECT!
I doubt any moves will happen until teams know who’s there at 6
Tim:
The appeals process can go on for years. There multiple levels of appellate courts and even trial court level motion practice such as a writ of habeas corpus. But during the pendency of all this Chauvin will be incarcerated
I sometimes feel the system is such a game that it makes no sense. What happened to a jury of your peers? Why does it continue on and on? Especially in this case, everyone saw what happened.
Also how could the other cops on the scene not say hey we can arrest this guy, we don’t need to do this? Human rights and the value of life needs to change.
There is a legitimate role for appellate litigation. There are numerous cases of wrongful convictions. There has to be some mechanism for someone who is wrongfully convicted to address that. I doubt this will be one of those cases
Right, it was on video. He did that.
This is the most intriguing draft for miami I can remember.
Another 4:20 moment somewhere! Lmao.
I think you are down to the west coast now
Ever watch the movie “Friday”? Classic!
I’m not so sure Pitts is our target, sure he’s a great pass catcher but can he block? if he can’t block he’ll be a liability on 3rd down.
He will move the chains on 3rd down.
Pitts is a “willing blocker”, and it shows on tape. No, he’s not great at it, but it’s part of his game that he wants to improve upon… much like our own Mike Gesicki… who’s become a much better blocker for us since his rookie season.

Lol…ready to swing with the apes!
That was to piggy at 7:27!
🦍🌿🔥 🙂
That is an ape smoking pot and being happy, lol
i thought apes smoked banana peels?
myths and legends lol
There’s been some talk Miami is talking to other teams about trading back, i wonder where that came from, who leaked that info?
Miami has been pretty tight lipped.
Maybe Atlanta leaked it? trying to get out of #4
Hey, man… it’s SMOKE SEASON. Rumors galore, ya know what I’m sayin’?!
And it being 4/20, I’m sure Krishna’s going to take that in a different kind of way! LOL 😉
I guess i owe you a beer. Show up and I will hand it to you!
Smokescreens?? Seriously? You believe anything at this time of the draft. I get bored with all the bullshit.
LOL!
what does the date have to do with anything?
Good question! I asked the same. Back in the 70s, maybe 80s, a few California students needed to take a break at a campus statue. The meeting time happened to be 4:20. Close enough for urban myth and works for me. Lol!
It’s because the rumor mill is reaching ludicrous level. But where there is smoke there is fire. Some teams are desperate and there is no problem listening to offers. We’re not shopping the pick, we’re listening to what teams are willing to give up. That’s what having such good draft capital allows us to do. Maybe that’s why we wanted to get back to #6 so we’re still in that arena. It’s fun isn’t it? 😉
Tim,
we double dip on qb needy teams, first SF, then the next team up pending the QBs who’s left at 6, that would be a great reason to do the philly trade.
If Denver wants to move up to 6th, nothing short of a 22, 1st rnder would do, otherwise this F.O. doesn’t look very good.
after 5 qbs are gone you will get a great player all the way up to 13 i would think. after that the talent may drop off a little
Krishna I’m observing the occasion. You aren’t the only one. ☺️
I was hoping someone would join me! Lol!
Stepen A Smith seems to have a good take on Tua

And, if you don’t have one, good for you and you’re in a very rare place.
Correct! And that’s exactly what I said to you up the board! We’re good, man.
I don’t mind having a few beers at the end of the day… I’m an ‘everyday Joe’. And, I do NOT judge others on their vices… we ALL have them.

Watching Miranda Devine right now?
Thanks MF 13
i sure hope we do something good with that pick @ #6,
IMO i would think we won’t trade back unless the offer is too good to pass up, and i can’t see any team out there that would make that move. i’m positive N.E. won’t, Bellichick doesn’t give up future draft picks like that he acquires them
Denver doesn’t appeal to me either. to move back to 9 you may miss the guy you moved up to #6 to get. and how much compensation is Den willing to give up to move to #6?
I think the reason they went back to #6 is for a player, and that player is Smith.
he’s very elusive, we don’t have that type of rec, we have Parker or williams who’s more of the chase mold, we also have Gesicki, why would we want Pitts?
Smith also has history with Tua
Smith ck’s too many boxes, i think he’ll be the pick @6
If we get a really good offer I think we do trade back. How far no idea, but I can see it happening. We’re not trading for 5th through 7th, it’s more premium picks.
We would want Pitts because he’s a kick ass WR, a seam threat TE, and multi-dimensional player that Flores loves.
Your blinders are amazing!
I don’t think he makes it to #6.
You are probably right, but hope you’re wrong if rhey O is higher on their board.
To say Pitts is a Gesicki mold is stupid shit.
4:20 again soon somewhere! How does that keep happening? LMAO!
LOL

Thank you, Phelon.
Calais Campbell, talking about Greg Rousseau…
Campbell had the same cons on him. There were a few other guys I can’t think of right now that got the same label and they’ve panned out. I’ll think about it. One thing I’ll say about Rousseau is he seems to have his head on straight and wants to be a great pro. He does not come off to me like DJFuckface who was always wishy washy.
He’s not a pure speed edge rusher, but moving him around with his size and length might work in our multiple scheme. Flores doesn’t build his team around one guy and I think we’re seeing that. It’s about matchups across the board. Stop the other team from scoring and score enough points to win. Football is not that complicated.
Rousseau put up stats in 2019 lining up at NT – 0 technique. Maybe at #18 he gives us a front 7 guy on defense that makes a difference. We talk about moving Parsons as a prospect all around. This is just a different type of player.
….if they go O like Mike E’s article suggests…..
it’s very iffy if pitts will even be there at 6, we moved to 6 for a reason, If we were targeting Pitts we wouldve stayed at #3
not sure how much better pitts is than gesicki only time will tell. they both are the same type T.E. long and lengthy,
why would we spend that pick on a guy when we already have guy sufficient in manning that position?
there’s only one ball. we also have similar wrs to chase, the same applies to him.
the elusiveness of smith is what we lack in this offense.
it’s called common sense.
not that i’m a huge fan of Smith, i just think it’s safe to assume that he’s the odds on favorite to be a miami dolphin at #6
he’ll be there for sure.
