Liam Eichenberg, ND … 2nd team All American … played every game for last 3 yrs … in 12 games this past season he did not give up a single sack … zero. That includes two games vs Clemson and the playoff game vs Alabama.
He could certainly be there at top of 2nd round, although I think Ravens will take him with one of their late first rd picks.
Thanks Phelon – Hope that gets changed if it is correct. C’mon Murica, open this shit up!
Given they are holding a 6-ish hour headbangers ball in the stadium in June, I will be surprised if they were not allowing tailgating.
Mike – Sent the question on tailgating to my rep. Let you know when he answers.
Thanks my man!
I have a feeling the Dolphins might be targeting Alex Leatherwood in the 2nd round
Rhino, That is a good point on OT. The second round OT’s are really solid also. Samuel Cosmi is another.
They can’t let it go.

There’s no way we want him anymore
As long as they take Parsons and Paye in the first they can take as many WR, RB, an OL as they want later.
Hate I missed that draft last night. Spent the last 2 days/nights at the Hilton on Pensacola Beach for a last minute getaway. TBH, Chase at #6 would be my 4th option out of Pitts, Parsons, Sewell and Chase. That will make one crowded WR room unless we trade someone on the roster come draft day which could very well happen.
Crowded? I could lop off 4 guys right now for ya in 2 seconds and never look back
I could actually make it 6 and not even blink
Someone mentioned a rumor yesterday about Grant to GB for a mid round pick.
That would not be a bad trade.
Bag of chips as comp would work too
With Jones making way more $$ than Howard you may see Howard moved tonight.
you’re out producing the guy who plays opposite you, you were drafted by Miami he wasn’t.
and you are paying him 14m over two seasons more!
I’m sure that doesn’t sit well with Howard.
you either redo his deal or trade him if your miami
Mike – Rep says tailgating will absolutely be allowed.
Awesome
YES!!! Great news – Thanks
Did you tell the you are bringing a pig?
MikeE, I get what you are saying. We have our roster. It’s about upgrading positions now.
BBM – Ford, Merritt, Locksley, Hollins, Foster and one or both of the vets (Wilson and Hurns)
Just think, we’ll be picking up more UDFA’s as well, so many of those guys are as a good as gone
Hollis will make it, they love him on ST and he’s a nice developing player with good size.
I agree Son, otherwise why re-sign him?
Just went back and reviewed the FU Mock from last night …. I agree with Piggy, the second half was a clusterf@#k LOL.
We took Najee, so why did we care who was taken 19-32?
LOL. good point. Everybody had their Najee-gasm and immediately fell asleep. 😮😴
Tonight when we don’t take Najee at 18 we’ll be sweating out every pick hoping 1 of top 3 RBs is still on the board
Steve I honestly think the Najee picks makes the most sense at 18. And I didn’t vote for najee last night I voted for an OT
But at 18 najee just seems like the safest pick. If the Dolphins can trade down a little I think they will
I also don’t think the Steelers will take a RB, the real threat to take Najee are the Bills IMO
Morning of draft … if we take a pass catcher at #6 I have to say Chase over Pitts for me.
Pitts has ONE productive season (6 of his 12 TDs were in the first 2 games of the season). He finished the season with some big yardage games BUT …
… Chase was sharing the ball in 2019 with a lot of guys and he STILL had 8 games of 140+ yds (3 of 220+ yds) and 20 TDS.
Think of how Jarvis Landry was our first down machine and now make him bigger, faster, and even more alpha and we have Chase in crossing routes and I believe he’d be even more productive than Pitts in that role.
My only concern was Chase’s year off (SEC never hesitated to play). I think I’d even rather have Smith over Pitts. Am I the only one with a nagging feeling that Pitts will need a specific system to be the unicorn…, while certainly deserving of top 10 pick, just call him WR cuz his blocking sucks. Yes he has games where he breaks 100 yds, but Chase and Smith log 200 yd games like flipping on a light switch.
Pitts will move chains, but so can Chase, Waddle, and Smith. Plus, the 3 WR are WAY more of a threat YAC. I hope Atlanta takes Pitts so we don’t have to agonize as a fanbase. 🙂
Pitts’ game translates to NFL, forget about college stats.
No one can cover him, he doesn’t drop passes, he’s a beast on 3rd down and on the goal line.
What more do you want?
I’m certainly not saying he can’t be productive in NFL, I’m saying if we have to choose between him and Chase when we are on the clock, I’d go Chase cuz I think Chase will be far more productive doing those same things as Pitts.
I also hope Jets take Wilson … it’s like they are drafting an actor to play QB… they keep drafting guys that all kind of have this ‘square-headed, close hair cut’ guy that will be shipped off when they get impatient. I think Fields would elevate their game right off the bat, but he doesn’t fit their “market model”. I don’t know this, obviously, but its a big picture impression I’ve developed.
I’m working from home today (tax prep, ugh) so I’ll have sports shows on all day … I’ll be so worked up by the time draft actually starts I’ll probably exaggerate the significance of every single pick. LOL
I miss the late 70’s and early 80’s when we simply read a list of who we drafted and thought: “ok rookie, show us what you got”. Draft Day has certainly become part of the Entertainment industry. So, I guess, yes “I AM entertained”. lol
I guess East coast guys all had to get to work.
Watching sports shows the day of the draft (which is exactly what I’m doing now) is such a huge mistake
They are just going to throw out rumors and predictions and blah blah blah
Probably less than 10% of what they say today has any value
Stanger – When you get ready to do tickets for the fest my rep said he can help.
Everyone take a few minutes to thank Laremy Tunsil today
Thanks great one, we are not worthy.
We still have Tunsil picks the next 2 years, SFs 2022 1st and 3rd and 2023 1st, so this may be an annual thing.
April 29th Laremy Tunsil Day
I like it.
If we draft Chase does Tua give him the number 1 jersey? Since backs and receivers are now allowed to use single digits.
Yes and Tua switches to number Tua
I should think so
If he does he won’t be allowed in Tuscaloosa
When I look at the WRs on our roster I look at those currently on the top 51, the rest, except Preston and Bowden I feel are just PS material.
Parker, Fuller, Wilson, Grant, Hurns, Foster and Hollins made the list add Preston and Bowden for 9.
These guys need to be accounted for.
Locks seem to be Parker, Fuller and Preston and add a rookie, if we draft one in top 5 rounds.
Foster with 100k in guarantees meh, but he will get a chance to compete, and was productive in Buffalo, plays fast.
Hollins 337k guaranteed, not huge, but WHT throw that money away, if you’re not planning on keeping him. You know what he can do his camp, unless he regresses too much, doesn’t mean much.
That leaves Grant, Hurns and Wilson all 3 I believe will be gone cut/traded, saving 6.3m and maybe more, if cut after June 1st, but what do I know about the teams plans.
Of the 7 others above 6 should make it, not sure who the odd man out will be. Foster not much guaranteed, but shows up on tape. Hollins an ST specialist and we’ve paid more to have guys mainly playing STs, so… Bowden has about 1m in guarantees and we gave up draft capital for, but this FO doesn’t seem to keep those that don’t fit where the team is going and many of the other 2020 acquisitions are already gone.
I would add Preston Williams to your list of potentially gone not, rather than a lock. He can’t stay on the field. On the plus for him, he is inexpensive. Shoot, with this regime I can see Parker traded and replaced.
When he’s been on the field he’s been really good.
If Belicheat used that logic Gronk would’ve never been.
First year a freak punt return injury I believe, then last year the DB from AZ hellicoptered him, hurting his foot, coupled with a fresh PUP urinating all over him.
You can’t have a short leash with potentially great players, that have already shown signs
I’m really interested to see how they handle Hurns and Wilson. Interesting how we haven’t heard a peep about these guys. Parker, Fuller, Williams are the only 3 that I love being on the roster. How they handle the rest of the WRs, in any direction (ST, cut, trade, keep) I will be fine with. I can definitely see Grant having some trade value because of ST and replace him with someone with MUCH better hands. I guess rd 1 and 2 will reveal how Flores really feels about all these ‘bubble’ receviers.
Piggy,
The A’s have a day game today vs Rays … with pre and post game I think I can eat up about 5 hours away from ‘draft speculation’. That will just leave me with about 3 hours until the draft starts. I am going to listen to counsel and remove myself from the ‘last-chance-hype’. 🙂
Kaninhoppning?
Henceforth, this day in the annals of Dolphins history shall be known as the Festival of Tunsil. Rejoicing shall abound, and merriment will be had by all as the Dolphins blow upon the conch shell of drauft and select from the youth of a nation to lead our great society forward in pursuit of the almighty Trophy of Lombardi.
And to commemorate the great sacrifice put forth by the Texans of Houston, each year a member of the Texan nobility will be sacrificed in honor of the great Bill O’Brien, the first sacrifice, who made all such things possible. Here ye, Here ye!
Let the festivities commence…
We will chant “LA-RE-MEEEEEE” from the rooftops
We will march the streets in gasmasks
We will smoke weed like never before….we’ll maybe like before…
All right guys
Just finished with my virtual conference
So now I have nothing but time before the draft at 8pm to speculate on what happens
Here’s what i think will happen
Do we have a pick #102 this year?
Don;t think we do but PFF just added it to the draft order recently.
That’s the FDup SF 3rd, that’s a 2022 pick
OK my final mock with no trades, which tells me we are going to have to make some trades to get the players we want.
6 Micah Parsons LB Penn State
18 Teven Jenkins T Oklahoma State
36 Javonte Williams HB North Carolina (Najee keeps goin 1st round every time)
50 Elijah Moore WR Mississippi
81 Jamin Davis LB Kentucky
156 Josh Myers, OC Ohio State
231 James Wiggins S Cincinnati
244 Tarron Jackson ED Coastal Carolina
Looks good, but if you want Parsons I’d trade down

Yes and Tua switches to number Tua
_______________________________
I agree, he will switch to the back up qb.
i’m glad we finally agree.
This FO will definitely have some hard decisions tonight with where we are positioned.
taking a WR at 6 is a huge mistake, we have good rec corps, it aint the recs it’s the guy who can’t throw them the ball.
you take sewell at 6, you take the bpa at edge at 18.
then take your candy
Stop describing skill positions as “candy”
This isn’t 1954. Teams aren’t wearing leather helmets anymore.
Skill positions are difference makers. The better you have the more likely you are to strike with bigger plays. It’s just that simple.
We struggled to score last year
With better skill players, maybe 6 points becomes 14 points on the same plays
I bet all your teeth are rotten!
A good samurai doesn’t even chew
you Molasses corn eating mofo!
taking a wr at 6 to appease Tua is compounding your mistake @ #5 last year.
You’re not drafting a WR at 6 to appease Tua, you’re doing it to elevate a position of weakness on the team. He needs weapons and if he can’t use them, the next guy will. That being said, I don’t feel we go WR at #6. I think the regime sees them as something we can grab in round 2 or lower.
if you take a wr at 6 and we may only have 5 recs on the team, you have 8 guys which most contributed last year all vets, which 4 do you dump to make room for #6?
parker, williams, will fuller are all starters and vets,
hurns, wilson, grant, bowden, hollins who plays ST & Perry,
Parker, DeVante Bowden Jr., Lynn , Grant, Jakeem , Merritt, Kirk Hollins, Mack , Wilson, Albert , Fuller, Will , Williams, Preston, Ford, Isaiah, Perry, Malcolm, Foster, Robert
The first team on the clock better not take the entire duration of time either.
You know they will
I never get that
But it’s going to happen
I know they’re going to do it, but it won’t stop me from unleashing a tirade of insults at the TV while they do.
It’s my 10 minutes of fame and I’ll use it any way I see fit, dammit🥳
They have to take their full allotment of time, otherwise it won’t be time for a commercial, when we’re on the clock
Piggy
you can bet with the acquisition of brown, the beef we drafted last year Flores is gearing up for a power running game, he is playing the down and distance on 2nd down game, he’s not trying to have a Mahomes to hill wide open run & shoot offense.
he wants to impose his will on you and play great defense.
I agree, but he’s from the Belicheat school of you have to win games, when the scoring is high, and low, and when you pass a lot or run a lot.
Whatever game they want to play we’ll be ready
you have to adjust to what you have…….bellichick had brady…………….
shula had marino………………….
Steve, Re: trading down for Parsons, yeah I can agree. I was just trying to do one without trading. Rock hasn’t been on yet today so I didn’t have the “Trady Pants” influence. LOL
I think in order to get Najee, we may have to trade down then trade back into 1st in order to get Harris.
In that scenario above I’d say yes, he won’t be available at 36
I would still be happy to trade down for parsons and take Williams at #36 if Harris is gone. Use the extra picks for more talent. End up in the first 3 rounds with:
Micah Parsons LB
Teven Jenkins T
Javonte Williams HB
Joe Tryon Edge/DE
Elijah Moore WR
Jamin Davis LB
That would be a sick draft IMO.
Gesicki’s problem is, when he is in the game, D’s anticipate we will be passing due to his poor blocking ability, i’m not sure but pitts may fall in this same category.
the best offensive strategy is to keep the D guessing and gesicki doesn’t do that for us.
But when he’s in the game in 12 personnel with Pitts the D won’t know what’s coming
Trade to 9 and use the extra picks to move back into the first.
We could get Waddle, Owusu and Najee
We may even see us drop down to 19 or 20, then back down to 11ish, then trade 19 or 20 to get to 27.
MTP would have a blast running this draft
Here’s what I think will happen in the first 6 picks
1. Lawrence
2. Wilson
Those two picks are easy
3 is where it gets weird I think the rumors are true about the 49ers passing on fields for another QB
So 3. mac Jones or Trey lance
I don’t know which
Then at 4 I don’t think Atlanta will take a WR/TE. I think they are trading down and benefit from the Justin Fields sweepstakes
I also think Atlanta wants to rebuild their defense. Their losses last year were notables. A lot of 4th qtr chokes.
I think Carolina trades up to 4 after shipping bridgewater to Denver yesterday
4. Carolina – Justin fields
Completing the first ever 4 QBs with first 4 picks
Then at 5 the smart move for the bengals is to take an OT. But this draft is deep at OT and their QB is pleading for his old teammate. At 5 I think the bengals break my heart and take Jamarr Chase. Look for the bengals to trade back into the first to take that OT
So that means Pitts falls to us at 6 and we take Pitts
This is the oink prediction
Agree with the 🐷 or suffer the snouties
i think you’re correct with cincy, atl is a coin toss, they more than likely will take pitts, or maybe a qb, caro just got darnold and one would think they are not in a position to give up future assetts that it would take to make that move
I hope so Piggy. I’ve kinda latched on to those two ‘WRs’ so I’d like to see one in aqua and orange
I’ve been seeing a lot of Waddle at 6 lately with Pitts and Chase both gone. I’d definitely try to trade back at that point because I just don’t see him at 6. He started 9 games in college and never had 700 yards. I wouldn’t mind getting but at 6? Nahhh. Maybe 9 but he was the most likely to be available at 18 a few months ago. Nothing but smoke has happened since then.
If we are looking at waddle at 6, it’s probably bc pitts and chase are off the board
And if that is true than fields must be on the board
And so a trade to 8 or 9 might work
I think Fields is a legit top QB option. Guy tore Clemson a new hole and was just overpowered by a better Bama team. I guess it all depends on the doctors in his case
best case scenario, atl takes pitts, cincy takes chase and we get sewell, he’s a great run blocker and that’s what we really need.

Save for Will Fuller and his new contract, all of those guys are expendable. You have a bunch of inconsistent performers or guys who can’t stay on the field. We don’t have a good or reliable wide receiver corps.
Exactly. I wouldn’t bet $100 any of those guys would play 16 games this year. Maybe at 100-1 odds but why waste $100. Dependable as a house built of sand.
Test
Twice is the man
So not getting any work done today
when you have the 29th rushing attack in the NFL, i doubt WR is a good place to start this draft. unless of course sewell is gone.
We are getting a RB too and problably at least one OL
Atl needs a RB as well and they pick #35
That’s why we are spending the 18 on one
I seriously doubt that
future dolphin
Took a look at all the TDN experts final 1st round mocks (12 of them). This is how it went for them at picks #6 and #18. None of them had us trading out of either spot.
Pick #6
Chase selected 5 times
Waddle selected 4 times
Pitts selected 2 times
Smith selected 1 time
Pick #18
Paye selected 6 times
Parsons selected 2 time
Phillips 1 time
Rousseau 1 time
Barmore 1 time
Darrisaw 1 time
In sports the word expert is used way too loosely.
He did this therefore he’s an expert at it.
They’re probably doing the same thing we did last night in our mock, look at team needs, then fill in with who they think is a or the top prospect.
They don’t consider fit or team vision or use much thought
Another trade partner?

I was told #Saints GM Mickey Loomis is working the phone, trying to trade into the top 10, per sources.
The primary reason isn’t for a QB, it’s actually for another position.
Although, there is 1 QB (not named Trevor) who would change their minds if he was still available.
At 28?. I would say no unless they can work a 3 team trade……..Oh crap, should not have mentioned that scenario on here.
😆
I’m not dripping from 6 to 28 unless the Saints throw an entire decade of first rounders into the pot
So you are saying it is possible. 🙂
Not possible, you’re always dripping something
If it ain’t for a QB what is it for?
The best gunner in the draft
Good lord, this workday has already been 9 hours long and it isn’t even 11 yet.

Phelon — did he say how? And don’t get me wrong any tool in the box is appreciated.
No, but I would imagine if I give him some criteria he will do his best to meet them. How many tickets do you usually get?
Normally get like 20-29. Go through the group tix office and they assign you a rep (who sticks with you year by year unless leaves the job or gets reassigned). You put your deposit down and they later have a “seat draft.” Earlier you put your deposit down higher up you are in the draft order.
But maybe your luxury box rep has a way to get seats before the draft.

The Dolphins commitment to draft week smokescreens under Chris Grier is next level.
Last year they convinced the world they hated Tua.
This year? Trade an OL to scare the Bengals into letting Ja’Marr Chase slide to you at 6.
Why would the Bengals take Sewell instead of Chase cause the Phins traded Flowers? Sewell was gonna go in the next 3-4 picks regardless.
Agreed Stanger, makes no sense
Come on, you have to consider the U75 source, but you’re taking it too literally
If I missed the joke won’t be the first time…… and still do.
If justin Fields is there at 6, Chicago may sell the farm to get him. they sure wanted to give seattle a wealth of draft picks for wilson.
Where do we sign up? Can we get 2
at minimum
Can we get 2, as in this trade is so good I want to make 2 trades like this
It would take #20 and a 2nd this year plus 2 future 1sts
There’s a position by position rating done, that I saw yesterday has our WRs and DBs ranked high, everything else not so much, total ranking was 28th.
I don’t buy into that BS, but if somewhat accurate, the job Flores is doing with subpar talent is remarkable
I don’t know about 28th, but I do believe both years Flores has coached our win total was better than the roster
And see that even more in the 5 win season than last year. We gotta good coach.
I think we’re nearing a black hole as the 4th dimension of time seems to be slowing down
Man is that the truth. I think the clock is sloooow. Hey teacher! We’re back! I brought my pencil.
Slowing down? It’s completely stopped
I don’t feel tardy.
What we couldn’t account for in the mock is there will be trades tonight. And talking big trades. I’m seeing at least two. Big Q for us is if we are part of one. Sorta thinking we won’t be.
Why not us?
Word is you want to trade talk to Grier, Fins open for business
It sure as heck could happen, and I was projecting it until the Flowers trade. Now Sewell makes #6 sense. Only Pitts and Chase did before. At #6 we will be able to pick both talent and need.

“The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: I’m from the Government, and I’m here to help.” – President Ronald Reagan
Don’t want to talk politics today, just thought it was funny
It’s a great line. Reagan was so cool.
LOL, agreed, funny and it wasn’t political.
And on that note, I wanna say the lack of politics on the board recently sure has been nice.
Heading into a football dead zone after the draft. Gotta fill the programming slots with something. 🙂
Oh I know it’s temporary, lol. I’m just appreciating the moment
I usually take these 2 days of the draft off, but this year I decided not to. What the hell was I thinking? I’m not doing any work, and I’m bored enough to start ripping my own fingernails off just to break the monotony.
LOL
On the clock in about 5.5 hours
Even my lunch hour is dragging like a Neanderthal’s knuckles
Sources: Rodgers doesn’t want to return to Pack
MVP Aaron Rodgers is so disgruntled with the Green Bay Packers that he has told some within the organization that he does not want to return to the team, league and team sources told ESPN.
25mAdam Schefter
BREAKING NEWS
Crazy. I just saw a report the Niners offered a ton of compensation to try and trade for Rodgers. If things are that bad between Rodgers and the Pack, I’m surprised that didn’t go down.
4 hours away
Plus 1 hour for us to be on the clock to trade down
Plus commercial break
VGK leads the NHL in points, and are up 6 points on Colorado, but Colorado has a game in hand and plays 8 of final 9 against the Kings and Sharks, and 1 game with VGK.
It wouldn’t surprise me, if Colorado won all 8 of those games.
VGK winners of 10 in a row have to play St Louis x2 Minn x2 AZ x2 Colorado and SJ Sharks.
I had to come to my actual office today, my internet is out at home. It’s like a ghost building. Dusty and way too quiet. I’m blasting tunes on my phone just for some noise.
So who wants Rodgers?
He might be the dynamic Deshaun would have been if he wasn’t a scumbag
The Flying Pig says:
April 29, 2021 at 11:42 am
You know they will
I never get that
I didn’t like the pick but I LOVED that Miami took Jake Long like 4 days before the draft!
When we get to two hours away you can begin to drink
Started already
Tonight
Smith, Harris
Final answer
It could end up being much more dynamic and I’d like that but this is what I’ve been feeling and I’m going with it.
Smith…Maybe, Harris hell no!
I want Harris no matter what
I’d take Rodgers,
Stanger – I’ll check with my rep and see if he can do anything special. In regards to why Cincy is taking Sewell – They broke their shiny new QB last year due to atrocious OL play. Keeping Burrow healthy is more important than giving him a familiar woobie. Nothing to do with Miami throwing the bouquet.
When the trade talk about Deshaun started we were a different team and I said we’re a playoff team with him and we especially would be with Rodgers but we made moves that made this draft vital to our future. If we gave away this draft for Rodgers now we’d struggle more so.
Come on fellas conviction time
List your 2 you think will be Dolphins tonight
🐬🇺🇸🇨🇦🐽🏌️♂️
Pitts, Najee
Parsons & Paye
I’ll go with Phelon. Not who I WANT who I think they will take.
Parsons
Smith
they say there will be a record number of trades in this years draft
a report emerged Wednesday that the Detroit Lions actually tried trading up to move ahead of the Bengals for Chase.
Just say NO to taking Smith in the draft! ! !
Love you Son, but man!
Pete Thamel
@PeteThamel
How will tonight go? According to a source in the thicket of the top of the draft: “There are so many teams trying to trade up right now. I think you’re going to see a record amount of trades.”
That’s good for us
I don’t think Harris fits Flores definition of a RB, look at Gaskin and Ahmed, they are small shifty guys with power, malcom brown 5’11” 222lbs.
Harris is 6’2″ 230lbs.
If we do take a RB early I think Javonte fits Flores defined RB better.
I don’t think Gaskin and Ahmed are necessarily Flores type RBs other than they were the best we had and they earned their playing time in practice and then in games. We’ll find out soon enough if we take a back early or not.
It goes farther back than them, they had the same style of RBs in NE,
james white 5’10 205 lbs, Sony Michelle 5’11 215 lbs
Yeah but that wasn’t Flores’ call. Like I said we’ll see.
it would appear that flores learned from bill as that’s the type of rbs we have
What about Corey Dillon and LeGarrette Blount?
Neither was drafted by NE, and that was years ago
It doesn’t matter if they were drafted or not, and 2014-2016 wasn’t that long ago and they won 4 super bowls with those two guys. I don’t think they have a specific type RB, they look for good players that help them win.
Son, I honestly don’t have a feel for who’ll take. If teams are going to jump all over each other for QBs it will change who’s available at other positions. There are quite a few prospects I like and would be happy with. Whoever we take, I just want them to make the team better so we become a perennial playoff team for years to come. 🙂
So the Rodgers news is all about an extension

Here is my understanding of the Aaron Rodgers situation: Rodgers and the #Packers have been negotiating a long-term contract offer. They’ve been working on it for weeks. Rodgers has been unhappy at times during those moments. No deal is done, and he’s not happy now.
Pretty conspicuous timing the day of the draft
Most of why I keep having us get Smith is because we trade out because Pitts is gone. How could you not like pairing Smith with Tua win for us.
if we pick at 6 i do think they are targeting Smith.
A qb is still on the board if Pitts is gone
if so we may trade down, i doubt we take a QB, i think they think Brisett is their safety valve, too early to concede a Tua mistake. just don’t compound it by trying to take smith on tua’s behalf.
Not that we’d take a qb but someone would want our pick
definitely, if we can get some solid future 1st rnders for #6 i’m all in, no player we take at 6 would be worth the swap & two future 1st rnders.
get aaron rodgers!
Tempting as hell.
I believe Fins have a very high grade on Smith
Equally as high on Najee IMO
you have a mole in the FO? The janitor tell you did he?
i hear SF may be a rodgers target, what if they gave up #3 for Rodgers?
that would spin the ship a little.
That would screw up our draft for the next two years.
correct! at least 2023
no you’re right the next 2 years!
Tim,
the best way to predict the future is to look back at the past, a tiger doesn’t change his stripes.
i’m just using what Flores has done in the past to gauge that move.
i wouldn’t think it very likely that flores would want a 6’2″ RB when he has a track record of RB’s under 6′.
in some cases not all, being a tall RB is detrimental in the pros, being that big gives LBers a better chance to get a bead on you.
there are some exceptions,
I’m just speculating though, we could take Harris.
Jordan howard was 6′, 225
Not sure where he fits in that discussion lol
a FA on a 1 year contract and he wasn’t 6’2″
Yeah, I said he was 6′ lol
I didn’t realize Harris is 6′ 2″
I think the harris convo is similar to the Smith convo. I don’t think our hc says ‘we don’t want him because he’s too tall or too light.”
I think they say “is this guy a football player, and will he make plays for us”
Will he/they inspire the fuck out of everyone in the locker room ?
The answer like the questions you asked are all affirmative.
If our FO likes what they bring to the table, and the draft falls a certain way, then I think they’ll take them.
I guess what I’m really saying is I don’t think either of them are off our board because of height or weight.
Agreed
A couple more hours and we can put all the speculation to rest. woohoo!
Would anyone here be completely shocked if either of our two 1st rd picks aren’t any of the players we’ve speculated about the most?
You never know, it could be a gunner and a punter….🤣
Najee NEEDS to be a Fin I’ll be distraught otherwise
With all the potential trade jockeying by everyone who knows where the spinning dial will land.
Right? I’m pretty sure we’ll be selecting football players, but I’m not betting my own money on anything…even that.
And with the #6 pick in the NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select Henrietta, The Buff Hamster
Positives: Nonstop motor
Negatives: A hamster
LOL
The only certain thing about our draft is some people here will be unhappy, lol.
I was going to add, and some people will be happy, but I’m not sure that’s a certainty… 🙂
I’ll admittedly be pouty if our first pick is OL
That’s what’s good about having the draft capital we have, we can draft a few positions to upgrade the team.
Najee Harris is also and exceptional receiver, not just out of the backfield as a check down, but down the field running routes. He’s a dual threat. And as M13 likes to point out, he’s also very good in pass pro.
he wont be there at 18, Arizona will take him.
Melissa Stark with incredible Camel Toe
Damn
I noticed that too. I said to myself, why not just take off that pant suit. LOL
I dig her man
Quite possibly the greatest camel toe in the history of television
My final want is:
6 Parsons
18 Harris
I promise you it won’t be the last thing you ever want….lol

🤬that didn’t work
I have no clue what they’re going to do. I kinda like it that way. My guess is Chase and Paye.
There you go glad to see you make a pick and we’d be fine with those guys
Same here, it’s kinda like Christmas when you’re a kid, you either jump up and down with excitement, you’re just okay with it, or you pout and complain you didn’t get the gift you wanted. LOL
In my heart of hearts I expect to pout tonight. Truth.
At the end of the day it’s the results in the standings moving forward. If this draft doesn’t impact the team to becoming a top team sooner than later, that’s when the failure will set in. Not tonight, at least not for me.
That’s wise and settling as well. Let the chips fall as they may. I’m in.
i think the fins will miss out on Pitts and Chase,
in some ways it would have been better to stay at 3 and take Pitts
Waddle may be the BPA at 6, and hes a fine player, but not a giant impact player like Pitts
son,
Lol. Do I not make picks much? I tell ya, what I like is this draft is deep in some areas of need for us. I wish there were better options at edge, but this draft is a good fit for our needs. RB, WR, OL are all deep enough that we can kinda mix and match who we go after where if the picks don’t go our way. Lots of options down through the first 3 rounds. This draft should be really impactful on this roster.
^
I WANT chase and Williams with 1and 3. If 2 is Parsons HELLYABONUS
Yes
i think Chase is going to the Bengals, we likely missed out on him and Pitts
the fins will select Waddle and a defensive player at 18, maybe kwity paye
Are you guys watching Melissa Stark ?
shes hot, seen her nudes on google images, lol
the fins could shock everyone and take Sewell, maybe they think he is the BPA if Pitts and Chase are off the board
If Pitts and Chase are gone then there is a WB available that we could trade out
That wouldn’t shock me. Players like him can help your offense move. It’s not all about skill players.
Said it two evenings ago and I’ll say it once more… I have this suspicion that we’ve hidden our true intentions well, and are actually targeting Micah Parsons. We’ll soon see!
I’d buy it
Do you guys think if I write a strongly worded letter to the nfl, they will agree to start a little early
I’m tired of waiting
Or at least go to commercial before pick #7
