The Dolphins have already secured TE Mike Gesicki for the 2022 NFL season as they have placed the Franchise Tag on him. They can work out a long term deal or have his services for this season and reevaluate after. With a new HC, it’s difficult to say which is more likely. Other Dolphins players I would like us to re-sign are Emmanuel Ogbah, Nik Needham and Mack Hollins, and in that order. From outside our organization, I feel the interior of the O-line is a must fix so I would prefer to get Niners LG Laken Tomlinson. As some of you know, the Cowboys are willing to trade OL La’el Collins. Collins can play inside or outside, and can play either side at tackle, and play them all well. That’s a nice commodity to have, especially with what I believe is some young talent we have that we need to find spots for such as Austin Jackson and Liam Eichenberg. Some have already given up on these players, I think that’s foolish. Collins has been a fixture on the Cowboys line since ’15, although he did miss most of the ’16 season tearing a ligament in his big toe Game 3. He was placed on IR and missed the rest of that season. Otherwise he has been a steady presence for the Cowboys. I don’t know what compensation the Cowboys expect for Collins but I’d give up a 2nd or 3rd RD pick without any hesitation to get Collins. With so high a demand for quality O-linemen, the Cowboys just might cash in much higher for Collins. I suppose I’d consider our 1st RD pick (#29) as well. Other possible picks at #29 are C Tyler Linderbaum, WR Jameson Williams and probably a host of others that I haven’t even considered but GM Chris Grier has his eye on. Collins would start and be an upgrade just about anywhere we put him, and lord knows we need to upgrade the O-line. There are quite a few avenues to consider though, being we have a good amount of cap room and we can find 2 good free agent OL in Free Agency.
Back to re-signing our own, the Dolphins have to make Emmanuel Ogbah a priority. It’s not that Ogbah is a guy who takes over games, he’s not that type of player. He is a guy that consistently gets pressure from his side of the field and despite not having gaudy numbers in any one defensive metric, he’s had over 20 QB hits each of the 2 seasons he’s played here, and although he missed double digit sacks by one each year, with the emergence of Jaelan Phillips, I think Ogbah and Phillips could be both be perennial double digit sack guys. Ogbah’s 2 best seasons were here in Miami, so I’d hope he’d want to return to the place where he’s been most successful, although in all fairness, money will talk. We’ll have to show Ogbah some love ($$$) if we want him back. DB Nik Needham is a player I just love to watch. I remember when we drafted some guy (Noah Igbinoghene) and had such high expectations for that player. Instead, it was Nik Needham thrust into duty and call him an overachiever or whatever you want but he always proved he belonged on the field. It’s hard not to like and admire Needham and I truly hope we retain him as a player. Mack Hollins is another one of those players like Needham. We know he’s a special teams ace and that guy was always around the football on ST’s. He was also thrust into duty when others were expected to be ahead of him, but due to injuries, Hollins got more playing time than expected. He showed up and played well all the time. So often I’d see Hollins make a play and both I and the announcer thought it was TE Mike Gesicki, #86 and #88 look similar and their lithe body types are close as well. #86 has to be re-signed so the confusion can continue.
When you look at improving the team, most of us feel the O-line is the place where it needs to begin. I also feel like the majority here feel we should be adding veterans and not spending high picks on the O-line, as we all know we’ve spent quite a few in the last 2 years as it is, one 1st RD pick in 2020 (Jackson), two 2nd RD picks, 2020 (Hunt), and 2021 (Eichenberg). In 2019, we spent a 3rd RD pick on C Michael Deiter and we spent a 4th RD pick in 2020 on OG Solomon Kindley. I could see spending another 1st RD potentially on center Tyler Linderbaum. If they feel he’d be an immediate upgrade and a long term solution at center, it’s hard to argue pulling the trigger on that. We can also pick up probably the best center available in free agency Ryan Jensen formerly of Tom Brady’s Bucs. Lots of different ways to approach it, and Chris Grier is well aware of that. Tough part is there will be high interest across the board on quality offensive linemen so if we want a player, we’ll have to be very aggressive and pay whatever is necessary in order to get them. Bargain hunting is not an option.
I’m sure Grier has a clear plan as to what he’s doing, and then fallback plans when those are foiled. Even though we have deep pockets, the competition will be so high there’s likely to be a quick frenzy to start the free agency period off. Other than money, is Miami a destination where players feel like they can win? We have a bright new Head Coach in Mike McDaniel, but he’s a first time Head Coach, so is winning immediately realistic? Of course we have nice climate, especially during the colder months of the season and we also have no state income tax which makes the money go even further. I look forward to seeing what Grier and the Dolphins do when the communications between NFL teams and players (agents) begin on Monday March 14th. I have a feeling the bottom line of the NFL channel feed will be ringing like a pinball machine. Hopefully we’re doing some of the ringing!

GO DOLPHINS!!!!
Finsmob Unleashed 
Oh no… I just heard that Jameson Williams has an arrest history of grave-digging and masturbating on dead people. That’s going to kill his stock in the Draft. Maybe he’ll fall to… US?!! 😀
It would be a shame if this
LIERUMOR got out! 😉YES, I’m only joking around! Every year we find ourselves enamored with a prospect, and try to get creative in making his stock drop to end up with us!
Then ONE year, it actually happened with Laremy Tunsil!!!
That’s fucked up dude! LOL
I will say that if he did fall to us he’d be a good pick even he’s not ready play right away. We’ve got enough WRs to play with until he’s ready and let him work his way into the rotation and take it from there.
LOL, that IS morbid, isn’t it?!!
I’d absolutely love it if Jameson fell to us, Bro.
Yeah just a little. LOL
As for Jameson Williams, if we were willing to take him at #29 thinking he’ll eventually be ready to go, so will other teams before us. Daniel Jeremiah thinks he’s the perfect fit for us.
———–
Trade for him now, before it’s too late.
I would be upset if the pats end up getting collins. wtf
Same here, Boulder!
But if price has been a sticking point, it’s not about cap space.
I read it as the price had BEEN a sticking point, but it is no longer… they freed up the space to make the trade.
Oh I read it as draft compensation price.
Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
Defensive back Bobby McCain is signing back with the Commanders on a two-year, $11 million deal, per @DrewJRosenhaus and @NFLrecord
========================================
Happy for good ole Bobby McCain.
Dooo doooo dooo 🎶🎶🎶
Why does the SAME milk last longer in Wyoming?
How the fuck did you even find this? LOL
Probably different standards from each state’s department of health. Wyoming just doesn’t give a shit. Fucking Cowboys 😉
Who the fuck drinks milk?
One is a best sell by date. The other a best used by date. Apparently milk is good for a week past the sell date.
Players I’d like to see us bring back are Smythe, Hollins and Duke. Probably won’t be all of them though.
I agree.
I think the signing of that special team er yesterday is not a good sign for Hollins
Yeah I thought about that.

Dude that is pretty fucked up.
LOL
Not surprised, but it is fucked up. Not even funny, imo.
I mentioned it last night but not sure anyone responded. Would you be willing to use 2023 draft picks to target specific prospects in this year’s draft? Meaning we trade up from #29 and then back into the 1st again.
No. No need to imo. If anything I move down
Say we wanted to target OL and a LB. It’s a deep WR draft we could get one in other rounds.
My thinking is to get this team rolling now, not waiting for more future.
Speaking of groceries. I got back a little while ago. Still buying fillet mignon at 12.99 a pound and also got a beef brisket at 4.99 a pound. The baby back ribs have gone up though about $30 for a pack of 2 slabs.
You are lucky it’s not a thousand dollars a pound murderer!
Hey, they already dead. Though, I may go up to hunt camp and get me another small hog to smoke.
Ribs sound like a Costco price, they used to be under $20 for their seasoned ribs
Sure you risk losing Smythe, Duke and Hollins, if you wait, but if you do get them the price is less
True and their market seems to be meh so far. Maybe we’re working on it.
Would you be willing to use 2023 draft picks to target specific prospects in this year’s draft? Meaning we trade up from #29
——————————
OOOOOhhhh, now you are talking trade up in first when you should have been rooting right along with those of us who were rooting for the 49er’s to lose and miss the playoffs. Had they missed, we would have picked at #18, then again at #22 after WC round and so on.
No, we were crazy, obsessive and being ridiculous because there would be good players available at #29.
Now we want to trade future picks to move up? I guess we weren’t so nuts for wanting the 49er’s to lose. LOL
With all the busting balls aside, I don’t see any players other than Jameson Williams I would trade up for. I think if I were to give up any future picks or picks this year it would be to get another 2nd or higher 3rd. I really think we will trade up in the 3rd possibly using one of this year’s 4th’s.
LOL 🍻
It’s about the team building on what they’re doing now and not about us fans rooting or anything else like that. LOL
Use your resources to improve your football team. We all knew we had two 2023 1st round picks in our pocket.
My scenario is kind of like this.
Trade our #29 and let’s say a 3rd and 4th this year to move up.
Trade our 2nd this year and one of our 1st round picks next year to trade back into the 1st. Those picks are once again the 49ers and us so probably mid to late round in the 1st.
Get the best prospects available now on the team and let’s roll!!! 🙂
I think we are better of keeping picks next year and having those day 2 picks this year
I wouldn’t mind trading out of the first round this year and having multiple 2nd rounders
I’m not sure the talent on the board warrants treating the players like they are better than players we might get at 50 or around there
Receiver is a real interesting position this year
I’m not sure a player er nab in the 2nd isn’t better than a 1st round pick
LB feels like that too
And RB always had good day 2 picks
So some of the positions I expect we target from can be addressed in the 2nd round
OL is where the talent gets significantly worse
And I’m. It sure we are trading up to take a center or Right Tackle
‘Best by’ means use it by this date. ‘Sell by’ means sell it by this date and it’s good for a certain period afterwards (likely a week for dairy going by the dates on that milk). Two different ways of saying a similar thing.
Too bad the Niners didn’t just lose to the Rams in week 17, then we wouldn’t have to consider using any picks to move into the teens because we’d already be there. Rooting for that outcome in the moment is called ‘thinking ahead’, lol.
Filet mignon at 12.99 a lb? Out here we might get to look at filet mignon for a few minutes for that price, lol. I’m pretty sure freakin’ ground hamburger is up to about $10 per lb here. I can’t wait to retire to another state where my pension will be based on my CA wage, but COL will be so much less.
*game 17
…and there is another middle bird for ya…
🤣
Dang, I got fresh ground chuck 80/20 for 4.29 a pound. That’s mainly for burgers and whatnot. I get leaner ground meat for other stuff.
Wow, not exaggerating, I don’t remember ever having paid that little for ground beef. I’m sure it cost something like that out here in the 90’s, but I don’t remember it, lol.
I can’t imagine getting by on my retirement out there in CA like I could easily do here in FL. Especially the way I like to eat. lol
Tim, I would not be against it. As you are saying, we are not far off. If a special player slides, who would take us to another level, I think you have to get him. He better work out though. lol
Right but wouldn’t “He better work out though” be the case with the picks next year too?
It always is, with high picks. lol
It’s funny how one milk post can lead to discussions about the prices of meat. LOL
Tangents within tangents, lol.
Costco here in Melbourne (Viera) has ground beef for $3.99
At home I buy it at Albertson’s, they always have it on sale, last time it was $1.67 80/20, usually on sale for $2.99
I don’t think this is a draft I’d want to trade up in. The talent is very homogenous. Unless you’re gonna trade into the top 5, it’s not worth it this year.
^
Would rather trade down, unless Jameson drops
That’s not what I’ve been hearing. It’s not a good QB class which we’re not looking for, but there are some OL, a lot of defense and WRs.
Dolphins officially have no compensatory picks for the 2022 draft.
I thought we were slated to get a 5th at least and as high as a 3rd? wtf?
or was that last year?
Nvmd, going by that article, I think I’m bringing in stuff from last year.
I thought we would get one for the DT we lost.
Oh well, we still have the 49ers 3rd rd comp pick for minority coaching hires. 😉
Looks like that one is #105 now and not #101.
Oh no, our season is fucked! LOL
Damn, Rams got 5 comps, 3rd, 4th and three 6th round picks.
There isn’t one team from the AFC East with a comp pick. NOT EVEN THE PATS!
Okay it seems most feel staying where we are or trading back is the best way to go.
I want to ask this though, if you think it’s not a deep draft, why do you think it gets better trading down? Would you rather have prospects with 6+ grades or 5+ grades?
I dunno, but last I heard, Jameson Williams failed his ‘A-B-C’s’ while at Alabama. Maybe he drops to us.
I’m not against the strategy I just agree with what Piggs was saying the talent doesn’t seem to warrant it. I wouldn’t have a problem if they actually did do something like what you said but I don’t expect it in this particular draft.
We should sign DE Jerry Hughes if for no other reason than to get him off the Bills. He always plays good against us. He’s a good player and you can always use DE’s.
Who are you calling homogenous talent Randy!?!?
This talent draft class is really into chicks
Who wants to be a sport and catch me up on what we did today?
Got up
Didn’t sleep well
Got a dunkin doughnuts cold brew first thing
Then started working off my 💻
Checked out my calendar for the rest of the week
Took a break to lunch
Logged on to the website
Talked about milk
Went back to work
Got a few more projects done
Finally, updated Mike E on what “we” did today – reminded him to stop referring to me as “we”
Robert’s, Riley and Preston Williams are staying
We signed Dallas OL Conner Williams to 2 years $14M and re-signed Preston Williams to a low level contract.
Oh yeah we re-signed LBs Elandon Roberts and Duke Riley to 1 year $3M deals.
Signed OL Connor Williams from Cowboys..Pats traded for Collins
The Pats trading for Collins is a done deal?
No
Looked like it earlier, but I guess still time for someone to up the ante .. was scanning from work so May have missed something
So you’re saying there is a chance ?! 😊
Bulaga is a Randy favorite he’d cream in his bucket if got him.
Thanks guys. Pretty underwhelming stuff. You’d think we won 12 games last season. How did we let all those _line guys get away? I mean I said I think we’re going to give our young guys a chance but I’m not sure Connor Williams by his lonesome solidifies this line. Who is left that’s worth bringing in if Collins went to the Pats?
Interesting stat for RB Chase Edmonds. I assume this is among RB’s and not WR’s running the ball on end arounds and such.
“23.3 percent of his carries reached a top speed of 15 MPH, which ranked first in the NFL, according to NextGen Stats.”
They did add, “My only concern with Edmonds is his injury history. He only played in 12 games last season”
He had a high ankle sprain but came back late in the season. Guys get hurt playing this game. Derrick Henry missed a bunch of games last year.
This is not exactly an injury history.
https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/E/EdmoCh00.htm
Our pick went worse!!!
Son, when looking at our two 1st round picks next year, where do you think they will be slotted and will next years draft be amazing? We have ours and the 49ers. The 49ers were in the NFC championship game this past season and unless we suck we’ll be picking well outside of the top 10.
My thought is let’s get this team rolling now. Stock the roster now and win games. I’m tired of the future. In my scenario we still have a 1st next season and the rest of the draft.
Former Ravens C Bradley Bozeman is available. He’s a guy that has started every game the last 3 seasons
Patriots did release Van Noy though
Dude is going to half to plan a revenge tour by signing with either jests and bills now
He’s lost a step. Remember we swept his ass. 🙂
Making disruptive plays on D is more important than a famous sack stat…lol. Production is about the entire package, imo.
Tim,
QB class is average but several others are fairly deep. OL and WR…both needs for us…are pretty deep. DL has a few real studs and then a bunch of potentially solid players. And I bet there are still 4 QBs taken in the first. Lol
LBs and DBs too. It’s not a weak draft other than no big time QBs and RB is nothing special, but RBs rarely go top of the draft anymore anyway. I’m talking about sneaking in with our draft resources and plucking what makes us better now.
If 4 QBs are taken in the 1st that benefits us. 🙂
Wonder what it will feel like for Devante to be catching balls from Teddy again after all these years.
Good point I forgot about that. It was soooo long ago.
Hope he won’t be….lol.
son,
A love my Iowa boys, but Bulaga saw his best years a few years ago. He’s an injury machine. But thanks for assuming I could fill that bucket! Lol
I didn’t say “fill” for the record
Is there a true draft order for all rounds out there yet?

The Pats trading for Collins is a done deal?
Can’t find this anywhere
There’s an SB Nation article that says because the Pats traded Shaq Mason to the Bucs, that could open the door for La’el Collins. Just speculation, no meat.
https://www.cincyjungle.com/2022/3/15/22979935/nfl-rumors-patriots-trade-shaq-mason-bucs-news-lael-collins-bengals
son,
The “fill” was implied. Ya never leave a job half done.
Alright then I bet you can’t lol
Oh god….lol.
Tim,
Like I said, it’s a deep draft of good but not great talent. But hey, if they wanna trade up and go after one guy that’s up to them. I don’t have a lot of hard and fast rules about the draft.
I hear ya. I want to start adding players to win games now, not keep waiting for the future. We’ve been doing that for decades. You can’t rebuild for 4-5 years anymore. By the time that comes you lose guys to FA along the way. I want to see the team view this as a 1-2 year run.
If we add better talent where we all know the weaknesses are, starting with OL, there should be no reason not. We should better our record over last year, maybe the year before.
Lol…those are my expectations.
I don’t think we have to compromise next year for this year, to our point.
Krishna, I don’t view it like compromising. I view it like get better sooner than later.
We’ve had a boat load of picks the last few years and now we have some core. Build on it like we have in FA – in the draft too. We don’t need developmental players, we need guys who make a difference now.
Agreed with everything you said but how much better do think we can get by using future capital to do this. Marginal, at best in my opinion.
We absolutely need to be better, but I think it’s poor use of resources. We can do this now with what we have, imo, and next year hit again.
You could be totally right, I’m trying to make the roster really good now. It is like gambling. LOL
Who the fuck drinks milk?
Depends on the container in comes in 😉
It is best fresh! 🙂
And warm…lol
Right? Cows’ milk is for cows…lol.
At least three glasses a day 🤷♂️😊. Left the kid directions to ensure we had milk in fridge when we got back from holidays .. dumbass bought it Sunday and left in his car until this afternoon… good thing it’s still marginally cold out…
Such a pig
I want holes to be plugged…seems we are doing that. Who knows?
I thought you had patience….lol.
Can we let it play out for a year? We seem to be addressing everything but the OL, sort of.
Not sure using a 1st round next year helps us this year….marginally maybe. Let’s see what we can do on this year’s dime.
This was to TK….lol. Have I said I’m terrible at this?
Holes to be plugged you say. That’s some horny shit going on right there. LOL
Lol…I know not what I say, oh my.

———————–
Tim, this is the one I go to. They constantly update it through the day. Comp picks are already added. We have #102 and I guess SF got another comp at 105.
https://www.tankathon.com/nfl/full_draft
I like it because you can click on the team name and see all the picks that team has.
Thanks, man.
29, 50, 102, 121, 125, 158, 201, 225
I didn’t see anyone mention this one being available now?
We talked about him above. We want Bobby Wagner instead
Might be able to afford Jack more??
Jack is weak in coverage.
Yep, we did.
Lol…no need for fridge if left in car at -27!
Krishna: figure the odds, the temp is actually 35 today .. luckily was out if the sun
I don’t consider that warm milk….lol!
Glad you’re enjoying the “warmth”. Oh my, I’m a pussy when it comes to cold these days…TX is fine and not ever moving back to NE.
Fresh milk all year. No fridge required. Only in Canada.
🤷♂️😎
We’re bringing back the LB group. I like it. They all know the defense and how it works. The defense can win, the offense has to get to another level and it starts with Tua.
that’s a weird way to spell o-line
All I’m saying is don’t ruin the time we have with this defense. Build on it especially on offense. Go for it! What are we waiting for?
Lol, weird indeed…
Random, but I hate daylight savings time. Of course Northeners would love it…lol
Dude, we think it sucks. Dark cold winters at 4:30-5:00pm driving in sleet and snow. Yeah we love it. LOL
I know!!! I lived in Albany for 10 and 3 on LI. Don’t ever want to do it again.
I moved…lol
So now we/you can do it starting at 3:30 PM … not sure if we are doing away with or not .. I would Assume we would …
Or did I do that backwards ??
Seems we are keeping some/most of what we have on D….makes sense. Another year playing together. Step it up. We need a few better players, imo.
I liked Butler. What was/is the knock on him.
Another stout DL and MLB/ILB are needed to improve the D at this point, imo.
Our D stopping the run was not good.
Sure hope Boyer was the man the last half of last season. WTF was he doing the first half of the season? Lol….
We were tied for 14th against the run. We had like 2 bad games.
It’s all about offense and scoring points for us. Everyone knows that. Teams can’t run on you when you’re leading on the scoreboard with little time left.
This is a 2019 article about Myles Jack being good in coverage
https://www.pff.com/news/pro-myles-jacks-coverage-ability-earns-him-multi-year-extension-with-jacksonville-jaguars
I’m not sure I’m buying that he’s not strong in coverage
When Jacksonville has a good defense, he was a major reason why
This is from 2020 but PFF was still grading Jack high based on his coverage skills even when the jags were struggling and after trading their best defender to the Rams
https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bigcatcountry.com/platform/amp/2020/11/12/21562360/jacksonville-jaguars-linebacker-myles-jack-makes-pro-football-focus-midseason-all-pro-second-team
This is a jests 🤮 fan article talking about up and down years for Jack in coverage
https://www.google.com/amp/s/thejetpress.com/posts/why-myles-jack-makes-all-the-sense-in-the-world-for-the-ny-jets-01fy72mhm305/amp
I actually think they nailed it. He’s been very good on coverage but also had some very bad years. I can se Jack excelling with talent around him
And I think we have that kind of talent
He s got a motor and hits like a truck .. I wouldn’t say No …
This is a Bears article where they call Jack serviceable in coverage but mention that Jags often had him covering receivers
https://www.nbcsports.com/chicago/bears/jaguars-release-myles-jack-why-bears-may-or-may-not-sign-him
Steve : tell the Knights the game started two periods ago ….😊
Okay maybe don’t
Pff headed him high in coverage
And this is what i mentioned earlier about how Jack was viewed coming out of college: a rare prospect in terms of a coverage LB
https://walterfootball.com/scoutingreport2016mjack.php
Jack is a good player he’d be nice on our defense but Robert’s is coming back so I doubt we look at him.
I’d rather have Wagner. I wonder why he is still available any or every defense could use him. Maybe he doesn’t think we’re close enough yet, his loss. He’d fit nicely with Baker.
Jack is probably cheaper than Wagner, don’t you think?
He is, I like Wagner as a leader know it all
Let the capologists figure it out. Give me Wagner
Just some different opinions on Jack
But I don’t know, I can see him really being a bit of an x factor in Miami combined with our pass rush and our solid secondary
He will get a lot of room to roam here and can probably help with slot receivers, tight ends and backs coming out of the backfield
I think Jax was falling apart in 2021 and his inconsistent years are a good example of that fading defense
Put Jack on a good on a good defense and he might make them great
He has a unique skill set
Could be man he is talented. I’d be happy if he was a Fin.
The jacking off about Jack is in full jack off mode. LOL
Quit bating us master
The Falcons gave their kicker 11.5 mill in guaranteed money. Damn.
The one that beat us at the Fest game. Who knew that game was so important to them. 🤷♂️
They are a rebuilding team too. Not sure about that move.
They may not be rebuilding. They are apparently a major player for DeShaun Watson
Yeah three 1st round picks+ and only a TE to build on.
The way I see it, if we don’t back the Brinks truck in for Bobby Wagner, I’d be pretty happy with Myles Jack as a consolation prize.
Ditto
All these teams having Deshaun in for visits they still have to get a deal done with Houston. Deshaun is like he’s on a FA tour. Pick a team say Cleveland if they can’t reach a deal with Houston then it’s next – step on up.
All three teams had to submit trade offers before Houston would agree to let him meet with them.
JMO, but I think the contracts we’ve doled out are rather respectable… nothing like a Brandon Marshall, Ndamukong Suh, or Ryan Tannehill contract. This is GOOD!
I’m beginning to wonder if Grier is afraid of signing a big name player. It’s like he’ll do anything to say nope I did it my way. Then show me dammit.
Fans are already complaining about $6M per contract for 2 years at RB that doesn’t excite them. Could you imagine going big for anyone? It would be wrong no matter who it was. LOL
Wacks for Jacks!
Thought appropriate to start with OL;

Pair that with signing your own. I’m dreaming….lol
Sorry for all the posts…lol
I had mentioned this yesterday, C Bradley Bozeman formerly of the Baltimore Ravens is still available. He was the 10th ranked C on PFF for whatever that’s worth. He’s a 3 year starter, played every game. My idea has been consistently to fix the interior of the O-line, Bozeman is a strong run blocker. I have no idea if we’re looking at him or not, but he’s 27, and can help us for a few years.
I wonder if the plan is to try to address through the draft, and if we aren’t successful there wait for June 1 cuts to see if we can upgrade.
Could be, but there’s really one center in this draft that could probably step in and start and be competent and that’s Linderbaum. Not sure if he makes it to #29. I don’t see any other interior OL in this draft that are surefire starters, unless they know something I don’t, which is absolutely possible.
I would add Zion Johnson to that list
Didn’t the Cleveland Center get cut also?
Yes
Tretter, yes.
Thanks…so much for living by the rhythms of the time of day all my life! Lol!
Here you go Krishna
Lol…somehow posted to wrong comment and haven’t even had a drink or smoked
So when everyone else on the east coast falls back in Nov, and it’s 10am in Miami, will the early home games begin at 9am EST?
Wyo – Bozeman is 4 years younger and he’s a little bigger too., 6’5 325 compared to 6’4 307 for Tretter. Both bonafide starters though
I was in class yesterday so I might have missed some threads
I have no class. lol
Haven’t we had enough of Ravens Cs yet.
Agree with Mike E. about getting a quality C.
With our new OZ blocking, guys like Jackson and Kindley will probably excel in PS, then we’ll trade them before the season starts
Seems there’s a lot of ex Fins OL around the league playing better, than they ever did in Miami
I think that speaks directly to our past coaching prowess…lol
Steve – I’m confused, Mancz never played for the Ravens, he played for the Texans, but I also thought he was a former Raven
OK, He was released by the Texans and was signed to the Ravens PS. That’s how we got him from the Ravens, he never actually played for the Ravens though
Ok, but he still had Ravens stink on him😝
I’m in the camp of liking the re-signing of our LBs, to get better at the position we shouldn’t throw away our depth, just add someone that might make them better…Jack or Wagner
Agree
I think I need to focus on equatorial life with no Daylight Savings Time….
Hmmm….CR works….lol
I like what I’ve read about the Cleveland C….
But have no clue…lol
It’s still early, but it looks like we are relying on better coaching to get our team over the hump rather than getting impact players who can immediately change the roster in addition to better coaching.
I’d like to restructure Rowe, if we cut him we’d have to sign a replacement and not really save much
Cut Davis
Looking forward to seeing Cracraft and Streveler in PS
Wonder, if we re-sign Duke and Smythe today
Hoping to resign Hollins and smythe today
I like the fact that since we moved to Az I haven’t had to change the clocks twice. 🐕🖕🌞
Haha! My dad and my brother and sister live there, and we are constantly confused whether it’s a two or three hour difference .
Duke, Smythe, Hollins. Get these guys back.
We still have X’s new contract rework looming.
See we’re not the only ones!
LOL
I often do…oh wait a minute
29.Drake London WR USC
50.Kenneth Walker III RB Michigan State
102.Damone Clark LB LSU
121.Jeffrey Gunter EDGE Coastal Carolina
125.Zyon McCollum CB Sam Houston State
158.Dai’Jean Dixon WR Nicholls State
200.Matt Araiza P San Diego State
224.Eyioma Uwazurike DT Iowa State
These days doesn’t that only mean that contracts can actually be signed rather than agreed too? Or maybe it also includes cutting players.
After 4 they can sign
They don’t have Elandon Roberts on there.
Thought that came to me as going to sleep last night — none of our 2022 draft picks may start opening day. Could extend that to no non-injury caused starts all year.
Depends on how the rest of FA goes but a real possibility.
That’s definitely a possibility
Seems a C, OT and LB in the 1st or 2nd would have the strongest chance. Or a workhorse RB taken anywhere who explodes.
That would be great after years of having to find 12 starters in the draft every year!!!!!!
And we still are a young team, especially cause they have gone young in FA. Makes a stronger case for BPA even up top.
Mike E
Is it OK to post these anymore?
So many hurt butts with Cosby, weight shaming, stereo typing, ETC, ETC
Don’t know where he got that from but we don’t have two 7th’s and we have a 6th.
After #158 we have #201 in the 6th and #225 in the 7th.
#201 we got from the Pats and that last 7th rounder was traded to the Rams.
when did we get the second 7th round pick? Ahhhhhh, Fanspeak had it as a 6th round which is missing now.
Tankathon still shows a 6th and one 7th.
PFN and Tankathon both updated yesterday and show a 6th and a 7th, not two 7th’s.
Wonder who is right?
Words of the wise!
Don’t know where Daniel Oyefusi got his info but he is missing a few transactions from last year.
The Dolphins traded their sixth-round pick to the Baltimore Ravens in exchange for OC Greg Mancz.
The Dolphins received a conditional sixth-round selection from the Patriots for WR Isaiah Ford.
The Dolphins traded their seventh-round selection to the Rams for CB Aqib Talib and a 2022 fifth-round selection.
The Dolphins received a seventh-round pick in the Mancz trade.
The Dolphins traded a seventh-round 2021 NFL Draft pick to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for OT Isaiah Wilson and a 2022 seventh-round pick. The Dolphins then traded that acquired pick to the Panthers in exchange for Greg Little.
So that second 7th rounder he is talking about we traded to Carolina for Greg Little.
We traded our sixth but got it back when we traded Isaiah Ford to the Pats. They later released him and we resigned him again.

The #Dolphins have now made five deals with @DrewJRosenhaus clients:
Emmanuel Ogbah: 4-years, $65M
Chase Edmonds: 2-years, $12.6M
Connor Williams: 2-years, $14M
Elandon Roberts: 1-year, $3.25M
Duke Riley: 1-year, $3M
Miami connection has always been strong.
Good to have this connection with Drew

Seems Rosenhaus represents like half the guys on our roster. And when we are negotiating with his players seems is always easy. And nothing ever leaks. Not that we get a deal or all his clients stay but works the way it should.
“Signing his tender simply means Gesicki can be traded now, and it’s possible he could be strong-arming the Dolphins to move him to a team willing to sign him to a multi-year deal.”
– Sun Sentinel’s Omar Kelly on Mike Gesicki
——————-
Fuck Omar
It is possible. They invented the term “tag and trade” for a reason. Was surprised yesterday when someone put out how much Cedrick Wilson had played in the slot. Far as I was concerned Gesicki was our big ‘old slot alternative.
It’s possible but fuck Omar.
LOL — but he did come to the first Fest. People are complicated.
and it’s possible he could be

Let’s just make shit up as we go along why don’t ya.
My guess is he burned any bridges with the organization long ago and just has to make shit up to feel relevant.
He read my idea the other day of a tag and trade. He’s a Loser!
Stanger, I agree with a possible tag and trade.
I was throwing up the bullshit flag about Gesicki “strong-arming” the Dolphins. If he wanted to strong-arm the Dolphins, he would not have signed the franchise tag.
Don’t think his style. Last season in interviews when asked if he was a TE or WR his standard response was ” hey I’m just #88. But maybe he was just being honest instead of suggesting might challenge the tag classification.
FWIW I don’t see a sign and trade

How can you not like Dowden’s skills in what we think will be the new O. Working with Tua is just gravy.
