ROUND 1 – Disappointing . . .

Sorry Dolphins fan, we tried to look awful smart with pre draft maneuvering, making two synchronized trades with the 49ers to move out of #3 and move back to #12, and then the trade with the Eagles to get back up to #6. Did we get the best TE? Nope! Did we get the best WR? Nope! Jaylen Waddle is a good player, but the moves that we made don’t add up to the player we selected. We may have been able to get Waddle at #12. He will help our offense and be the player we hoped Tedd Ginn Jr. was for us. A dynamic return man and a a guy who will take quick hitters and turn them into big plays. He can be like Albert Wilson was for us in 2018 before he got injured. We can go back and forth about where Waddle would have been taken, but being at #6 and ending up with Waddle is deflating. Sorry, it just is. Grier and Flores get no pass.

With pick #18, I’m telling you guys, I knew we were taking Phillips. In our Mock Draft I picked Phillips because I felt he was the player we want here for our defense. I said it again last night. Although I was right, it didn’t make it any easier because I really wanted Najee Harris. We need an upgrade at RB, and if we somehow don’t end up with Javonte Williams, we will have failed again. I feel like we can have 4 picks in the first 2 rounds in every draft and still find a way to fuck it up. Quality over quantity. Right now I feel like we’re just getting quantity.

In our offense, Jaylen Waddle will be featured often. Tua Tagovailoa likes to get rid of the bill quickly and Waddle will be like Julian Edelman was to Tom Brady. He will help our offense. He will upgrade our return game because although Grant is electric, he’s so questionable about actually fielding punts and kick returns. His hands are suspect. Waddle is much more sure handed. I just don’t see a generational talent in him, and 2 guys went before him that definitely might be, Kyle Pitts and Ja’Marr Chase. We were at #3 and could have had either. This is my qualm. Everyone wants more picks, not me, I want great players, and I’m not sure we got ANY last night. We could have, we didn’t!

Jaelan Phillips is a Flores type player. He knows what he’s doing out there. When Grier took Charles Harris because he had a quick step, he did, but he had nothing after that. Phillips is the opposite. He’s a technician with a bevy of pass rush moves and he’s athletic enough to back that up. He’s fast, and he’s strong, and he’s very athletic. 6’5 260 and ran a 4.56 40, 36″ vertical, 10.5 foot broad jump, 4.12 20 yard shuttle, and 21 reps of 225 at his pro day. His Junior season and last season in Miami, he posted 8 sacks and 15.5 TFL in a shortened season. He’s the real deal, and we need the pass rush help, but we lost out on RB Najee Harris.

We got good players, players that will help our team be better next season, but we had a chance at elite. Pitts or Chase could be elite. When all is said and done, Waddle and Phillips might have very good careers, but Pitts and Chase could be HOFers. Time will tell. I try to be fair, I don’t want to be a rah-rah pom pom waving writer. I want to say it like I feel it, so I did. Go get Javonte Williams. IDGAF if we have to trade to pick #33, get him, because we need him!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!

    You guys tried that same BS logic, when we traded a watered down 2nd to AZ for Rosen, this time it’s a watered down first.

    If we had just traded from 3 to 6, which is what we really did, your argument would have no merit

  4. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    what they are saying is they intended to move up for Waddle giving up next years first in doing so.

    if they were only targeting waddle as suggested why not stay at 12 and try to test the waters, only move up a couple of spots like philly did instead of giving away a 22 first.

    none of that makes sense to me.

    Waddle is not worth two first, if we couldn’t get him at 12 there would’ve been other impact players to be had, Parsons went 12th.

    it appears to be a huge mistake.

    Year 1 take DJ metcalf………. instead we got Rosen
    year 2…take Herbert……..instead we got Tua
    year 3….take parsons or waddle at 12 and have two first next year.
    instead we give up two first and take waddle.

    it would appear the mistakes are adding up.

      Lol, but why ever have a 1st, and every team that drafts in 1st could’ve had an additional 1st next year too, so every pick made you could say the same thing.

      You pick, because it takes top talent to win

  6. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    What Rob is saying is not stupid at all. There’s a ton of validity to it. Listen, we made our bed, we made the trade up early, and if they’re happy with the result, great. I happen to agree with Rob that we probably didn’t need to get to 6, we could have traded up a couple of spots to get him and it could have cost less. It’s over and done, but he’s not wrong.

  8. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    for them to say they only had one player ahead of waddle and that was lawrence would mean they intended to give up two firsts for him. they never had a shot at lawrence.

    i would think most of us (not all) would agree that while waddle may be a great player, he’s not worth back to back 1st rnd picks.

    if that’s the case then it was a blunder by this F.O.

    I don’t live in Mississippi, nor was I born there, but nice try with the personal insult. I never said Marino sucked, nor did I say anything about his injury at Pitt, so it’s really funny you giving me a lecture about reading and thinking before posting.
    —————————————————————————————
    He was temporarily in Mississippi. I however am currently living in Mississippi, though i also am not a local, but ill claim Mississippi anyways. Nothing wrong with being from here, living here, or having family from here, which i also do lol. Guess you missed your target and hit another one, lol.

  12. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    as for Crystal balls, if they moved to 6 and had multiple targets that would be OK, if they wanted Pitts, or Chase but had to settle for Waddle. OK.
    Great, you rolled the dice, you still came away with a great player.

    Allegedly, that’s not what happened, they moved up exclusively for Waddle spending two first in doing so.

    if that’s the case you don’t need a crystal ball to see that’s a mistake.

    • bookman11's avatar bookman11 says:

      I see it as maybe not knowing, or misjudging where Waddle might go, and not wanting to take a chance if not getting him, but your point is well taken

      By the way, nice job in not engaging the insults.

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      They did have multiple targets. Although to be fair, this doesn’t say that Waddle wasn’t their #1 target, but I have a hard time believing they would have taken him over Pitts.

      From the Herald:
      https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article251064284.html


      Any buyer’s remorse?

      “No,” Grier said late Thursday night. “I’ve told you we’re very comfortable where we were.

      “We had a number of players — like we said — about four players we felt really good about taking at six and we’d be tremendously happy to have. So we had — again, don’t look back — but at the end of the day, we’re tremendously excited and this was a player we’ve been looking at for a couple years.

      “So for what we want to do for our team and our roster, we’re very happy to have Jaylen and no regrets, and I say that with all honesty to you.”

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        Exactly. No need to sugarcoat it.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        That sounds better, from what was posted above they said it was either Waddle or Lawrence.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Reading btwn the lines on comments from Grier, sounds like we had Pitts first on our board and Waddle second.

        Obviously we had Waddle above Sewell, Smith and Parsons. We may never know about Chase.

    • Phindog's avatar Phindog says:

      Realistically we only gave up 1 first rd pick. We moved from 12 to 6 and gave up our next year’s 1st. If we stayed at 12 we would still have our 1st next year. Not sure how that equals giving up 2 1sts when we got the 6th.

  13. twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

    It boils down to – they targeted a player, felt pick 3 was too high and pick 12 was too risky (and it would have been too risky). So they essentially dropped to 6 and picked up another 1st. The 1st given up might as well be mythical at this point. So I see it as Waddle plus an extra 1st, not two firsts for Waddle.

    I could see the argument though that holding at 12 and maybe getting Smith if one feels they are comparable, but they obviously didn’t feel that way. Time will tell on that one (goes back to the crystal ball thing).

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      you had to use a first to draft him, you had to use a first to get to 6,

      that equals two first rnd picks for waddle.

      • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

        Right – but lets say hypothetically you had a willing trade partner at 6 and they wanted to give you another first to swap. Would you do it knowing the player you covet will still be there at 6?

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        How many firsts did we use to get #3?

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        i don’t question the move to 6, Pitts or chase could have came to us, we could have taken sewell or we could have traded back for better comp than next years first.

        what i question is doing so with only one player in mind who wasn’t close to the 6th ranked player on the board.

        getting mixed messages though, some say it was waddle all the way and some say different. who knows what to believe?

        i’ll just leave it alone, some are offended when you kick the tires on this F.O.’s decision making

      • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

        If you feel Waddle wasn’t worth the move back to 6 and felt he would still be there at 12 so I get where you’re coming from. I personally think Waddle would have been gone by 12 but who knows. If he turns out to be another Tyreek Hill (Minus the off field stuff) then worth it – if not then yes it was questionable And yes as fans we should scrutinize the front office moves so I welcome differing opinions to view everything from all angles.

  14. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Steve – sure, but we all have a general idea of where players are going to go and which players are tops at their position. They can say they wanted Waddle all along, I don’t buy it. I doubt you do either

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      Yes, a lot of teams will spin their pick with “that’s who we really wanted all along” ex post facto. Only they know if it’s really true or not. I guess one could argue that it isn’t exactly a good look to say “yeah we wanted x or y, but we settled for z” when you are player z.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        They don’t have to say they settled, you never know exactly how the draft is going to play out. They had a number of targets, as every team does, and they’re happy to get Jaylen Waddle. No reason to point at the board and scream he was our favorite always and forever. lol

      • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

        fair points

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      I don’t agree Mike. We had horrible separation last year, 2 players fit the bill to fix that, and 1 was maybe too thin and not explosive enough.

      Pitts and Chase were more of the same no separation type players.

      I can see where what Grier said makes sense, if true or not who knows, but there are a lot of people that believe Waddle is the closest thing to Tyreek and if 1 was Grier what he’s saying may be true

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        That’s total bullshit. You’re saying that neither Pitts or Chase get separation? C’mon, you must be joking

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        They do get separation however i don’t think Pitts or chase can knock the top off a defense like Waddle can.

  15. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    can’t wait for tonight!

  16. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    Not that we’re experts here or anything but none of us thought that Waddle was our top target. I would have thought Pitts or Chase would have been ahead of Waddle. The way they want to use Waddle as opposed to Chase as both a return man and slot and perimeter receiver is probably a better fit for us than Chase, which I didn’t consider.

    • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

      After watching Smith tape, only to have Waddle show him up changed my mind.

      When the pick was made I only wanted Waddle, but can’t say what I’d have thought with Chase or Pitts available

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      He’s at least a better fit with Parker and Fuller. Waddle sounds like a super car slot receiver. And nothing wrong with that….. but thin the chances of re-signing Fuller just increased.

    Jaylen Waddle was No. 2 player on Dolphins’ draft board

    NJ PHIN FAN says:
    April 30, 2021 at 9:42 am
    According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Waddle was the No. 2 player on the Dolphins’ board, behind top overall pick Trevor Lawrence. Waddle was the second wide receiver drafted, one spot after LSU’s Ja’Marr Chase.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        so which is it?

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Waddle was their #2 pick after Lawrence, followed by in no order Pitts, Chase and Smith, if Waddle was gone they were fine with one of the other 3.

        That fits both statements

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        One is a talking head who may be talking out his ass, the other is our GM. So I’ll take the GMs statement, lol.

        But again, both could actually be true. Grier doesn’t say Waddle wasn’t our #1 choice of the 4.

        Personally, I think Waddle was #3 behind Pitts and Chase, and I think the 4th was probably Smith, but that is just speculation.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        What’s it matter whether Waddle was 2nd on their board or sixth? Both those reports could be right though.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        it matters because i highly doubt Waddle was projected to go that early, he wasn’t in the top 10

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        So then you are just saying they shouldn’t have valued Waddle so highly. Not enough of a talent scout to know that true or not. But he was gonna go top 12, probably earlier. But maybe your football scouting skills are better than mine.

  18. Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

    How many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop? How many picks did it take to get Daniel Thomas, Leonte Carroo and Jaylen Waddle. I suspect only Will Hunting knows the answer to this one . . .

  19. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    They said today that when we were scouting Tua last year and watching film on him Waddle was the guy that kept flashing and impressed them. He’s more than an Edelman/Welker type, he’s our version of Tyreek Hill.

    I agree with Mike’s assessment on Phillips.

    I’m glad we got a receiving weapon early, and we added a good receiving weapon in FA. Along with Parker, Williams, and Gesicki, we have very good receivers and there is no disputing that.

    Tonight add to the oline, get a RB, and another rusher. This team will have no holes and depth at a lot of positions. We’re ready to take the next step. It’ll all come down to Tua progressing.

    There will be no excuses for Tua, and by the end of the year we will know what we have.

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      And with 2 firsts in 2023 the ammo to go and get another QB if it doesn’t work out by then.

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        Exactly, if Tua is really bad this year, and we look to move on, we can parlay those 2023 picks into a move in the 2022 draft if necessary. If Tua is mediocre and we want to give it another year, we can make the move in 2023.

        The key thing is the roster is coming together, and it looks like we’re close to having a complete team. 🤞

    I don’t know why anyone is debating where Waddle was rated and where we had him on our board. We drafted him. End of story.

  28. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    We all evaluate things our own way, and there is nothing wrong with having your own opinion.

    For me, when I look at the draft a couple of years down the road, I’m not thinking about did we pick a guy 6 spots before we should have because that’s where draft pundits say he should have gone. I’m looking at did we get some football players that are starters on our team and are any of them not just starters, but studs.

    If Waddle turns out to be our Tyreek Hill, nobody will care we selected him at 6 instead of maybe getting him at 12.

    The flip side to that coin is if Waddle turns out to be crap, then it’ll have been a bad pick, and it would still have been a bad pick at 12.

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Well said.

    • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

      dont forget to include the 22 first,

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        I don’t evaluate that double trade like that. I look at the end result of both because our GM said it was basically one trade executed in two steps.

        So what I see is we traded down 3 spots and picked up a future 3rd and a future 1st. We’re also the only team in the top of the draft that turned our pick into extra draft capital.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        the facts are we still do the trade with SF and could’ve stayed at 12, especially if we’re targeting a player not projected in the top 10.

      • steveccnv's avatar steveccnv says:

        Lol

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        The fact is our GM said we wouldn’t have done the trade if we didn’t have a partner to trade back up into the top 10. We didn’t want to be at 12.

        We wanted to make sure we got one of the top pass catchers, and there is no guarantee one of them would have been there at 12, while there was a guarantee one of them would be there at 6.

        I really think it’s that simple.

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        I get that, but that’s not to say we couldn’t have stayed at 12

    Any recommendations?

  30. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    I think some of us including I were against trading back to 6 when we did it, that’s where the whole 3 team trade vs 2 team trade argument came from.

    and what we did last night confirmed it for me.

    bad move.

    • D's avatar D says:

      Gonna take time to prove it, but i would have loved to have gotten Pitts

      • ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

        would you have gave up the #3 over all and a 2023 first to get Pitts?

        or would you rather give up #3 over all and get a 2023 first and take waddle?

        the 2023 first is all that separates us from waddle to pitts.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Think every NFL fan not looking for a QB wanted Pitts on their team.

      • D's avatar D says:

        Still getting a haul of picks (if the trade back up hadn’t happened) is more the question.

        I don’t think you can poo poo the trade back. You trade back you set yourself up for more in the future and that’s how you keep things going, since you have no clue how a prospect will pan out a trade back is hard to bemoan, or at least it takes years and a lot of hindsight to call it a bad idea.

        The trade back up though, you gave up stuff for that, so easier to poop on that one. In this case we wouldn’t have gotten any of the 4 top receivers in the draft if we stayed at 12 and the drop off after those guys was steep. I think it was the right call.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      Was one of those folks, but what I don’t know is where Waddle would have gone if we didn’t take him at #6. Smith went at #10…. not so far from #6.

  31. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    I think the trade back and losing out on Pitts is a much more legitimate gripe than nitpicking the double trade. I’m still not sure which side of the fence I’m on for that one, if I’d rather have just stayed at #3 and taken Pitts or the extra picks and Waddle.

    If we stayed at #3 we get Pitts, but then we lose that flexibility to move around in the next two drafts for a QB if Tua ends up being crap.

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      I guess it’ll depend on just how good Pitts and Waddle end up being, so again hard to really know until it all plays out.

      • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

        Pitts is just a freak of nature….. but then so was Tony Mandarich (even if some science was involved).

    ————————-
    Twice, I think if Tua doesn’t pan out this year we spend next years 1st on a QB.

    That QB for me would be UNC’s Sam Howell. Despite handing the ball off the last 2 years to Javonte Williams and Michael Carter, he has put up some huge #’s passing. He started as a true freshman and has played 25 games where he comp. 64% of passes for 7,227 yards, 68 TD’s to only 14 INT’s. Has really good deep ball accuracy.

    It’s actually going to be another interesting QB class to watch next year with:
    Sam Howell, UNC
    Spencer Rattler, OK
    JT Daniels, UGA
    Kendon Slovis, USC
    Tyler Shough, Texas Tech
    and some others

    • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

      Yeah if Tua really falls flat then next year is certainly an option. Wonder if the FO will give him 2 or 3 years to prove himself (I’m guessing 3 but could be completely wrong). Howell definitely one to watch.

    Piggy – I like Makers 46, Elijah Craig. Jefferson’s is good, never had Blanton’s but I’ve heard good things

    Kong – That’s very true what you said, but fuck it, we’re in the now, so let’s just rip on what we want to. Ultimately, it never really matters where you’re selected, it’s how you produce.

    • stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

      Some great Dolphins players came out of the 5th round.

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      Yep, production is always the bottom line in this league.

      I am much more nervous about Tua this year than I am about selecting Waddle. Even if Waddle ends up being less than we hoped for, our hopes and dreams really rest with Tua.

      • Mike E.'s avatar Mike E. says:

        It’s funny, I’m not too worried about Tua. Boy is working hard, and I think that will push him to the next level. Of course, if we get him Javonte Williams too, I’d feel even better. We have given him some weapons, continue to do so and watch his play get better.

      • twicethethe's avatar twicethethe says:

        Agreed on that – and the bonus is that extra first in 2023 could then be used to help fill in some final piece of the puzzle for a title run instead of a chess piece for another QB..

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        You’ve been steadfast in your belief that Tua will progress. Obviously I hope you’re right, I just don’t have that conviction, lol.

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        Twice, how great would that be? Conventional wisdom says if things work out for us, we’ll have a legitimate title run in 2022. To follow that season up with two 1st rd picks- the dream

  35. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    So tonight it is only 5 minutes to make your pick right? We SHOULD be picking about 7:15ish?

    • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

      Only the first round is held on Thursday. It starts at 8 p.m. Eastern time, and each team has 10 minutes to make its pick. The second and third rounds are on Friday; rounds 4-7 are on Saturday. Teams get seven minutes to make picks in the second round, five minutes for regular or compensatory picks in rounds 3-6 and four minutes in round 7. If a team lets its time expire without making a choice, it can make a selection later — but it runs the risk of letting the next team on the clock take the player it was considering.

      • Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

        so 7 minutes per pick early tonight. Trying to figure out what time to turn on the TV to catch our pick (or the commercial during our pick that is) 😉

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        Does anyone know, have we ever seen that happen? A team make their selection later than their slot

      • Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

        Kong, the Vikings actually did that in the 1st round maybe 20 years ago. They didn’t get their card in on time. LOL

  36. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Yes, I remember a few drafts back someone missed their slot and like three teams RAN to the board to pass them. It has something to do with a FAX MACHINE if you believe that!!

  37. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

    I say we propose a new rule to the league for NFL drafts which states that Miami fans get to choose from a selection which commercials they have to watch while the Dolphins are on the clock.

  38. stangerx's avatar stangerx says:

    To my mind we are taking a RB and an OT in the 2nd round. Not sure which comes first.

  39. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    Wow it wasn’t a few drafts back it was 2003. WOW i’m getting old

    Kong it was the FIRST round pick 7

    • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

      Holy smokes! I get why teams would be running to get the jump on them. That is nuts.

      I’m pretty sure I was in a drug induced stupor in 2003- all of it, lol. So I didn’t watch that draft which is why I don’t remember it.

  41. Tim Knight's avatar Tim Knight says:

    If we targeting Javonte Williams I fear the Jets or Falcons could ruin that.

  42. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    If Javonte Williams is there at 36, we may not even take him, very doubtful in fact. more glaring needs.

  43. Rockphin's avatar Rockphin says:

    We’ve got Aunts
    expired! expired! expired!

    My favorite current commercial.

    I vote for that one when we pick….

    We are going to draft javonte and you’ll like it!

    It’s not too late to get a stud in Javonte this evening! Make it happen, Miami!!! Then, let’s get one of the highest rated Centers.

    GO PHINS!!!

    The aunts commercial is great, but my selection is any of the turning into your parents Progressive commercials.

      • CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:

        lol, it was great that they cut to him saying they have three names they want to get and they get the 1st because no one can take the 33 pick from us…as they’re taking the whole damned clock.

        WTF, then make the pick dingleberry 🤡

  57. ocalarob's avatar ocalarob says:

    does Atl take Javonte?

  58. CavalierKong's avatar CavalierKong says:
