Dolphins Brass Have Met with LaQuon Treadwell Twice

Treadwell is an animal and a future star in the NFL, but that would be a waste of resources. We have too many holes to expend draft resources on Treadwell. The Falcons of a few years ago had really good skill position players, but lacked at some core positions (DL, notably) and won a single playoff game as a result. If this happens, I'd say Tannenbaum is trying to run from his Jets moves but way too much in the other direction.

 

This could mean a lot of things. I would guess that it would be hard to entertain trade talks for one of our receivers until after we have drafted said player. My guess for the second meeting would be one of two scenarios.

Scenario One - The Dolphins are having difficulties assessing where he belongs on the draft board or there is debate within organization where Treadwell belongs. This second meeting may have been used to iron down where the organization has him slotted in the draft board.

Scenario Two - Despite not being a need, the Dolphins may very well have a high grade on Treadwell. If you could imagine a scenario in which you thought that the next Dez Bryant might be staring at you when you are drafting. Even though receiver certainly is not a need, it would be difficult to pass up a player with such potential. At the very least, an organization should debate this issue before the draft. What further lends credence to this theory is that most analysts say that there are between 8-10 blue chip prospects. I could certainly see how a team could consider Treadwelll to be one of these blue chippers.

I am not saying that the Phins will or will not draft him. But I am saying that he could very well be the last blue chip prospect on their board when they are drafting - and that would make for an interesting war room.

 

Thinly veiled smokescreen imo, trade down bait?

 

Parker>Treadwell imo. No need for him.

 

This may be a smokescreen whose object is to induce teams drafting below us to draft up .

BTW he has a lot of talent but he does not run clean patterns and that makes it difficult for the QB to find him.

 

I think it's a smokescreen as well. I think Josh Doctson is better. Treadwell is risky pick.

 

Good post and good thoughts.

If they feel that he's a top talent, they they would be shorting themselves by not doing their best to know everything about him that they can. No one knows how the board is going to fall in the first round. But imagine a scenerio where things just go wrong for Miami getting the CB, DE, LB and/or RB that they want. However, they feel that Treadwell is a top 10 talent and could be an awesome NFL WR. Then you take him as the BPA, give RT17 all of the weapons that you can, let Stills walk after 2016, and let Parker and Treadwell determine on the field which one gets the monster second contract in a few years.

 

My thoughts precisely. I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think the interest was legitimate. Not worried about his speed, he'll get some more through an NFL workout regimine. This is another guy that Tannehill can just throw it up to and trust that more likely than not, he's gonna make the contested catch. So Parker pans out, oh no, now you have two legitimate threats on both sides of the field. Treadwell is also an aggressive blocker, which Gase might find very useful for his run game. He doesn't fit a screaming need, no, but you want to pick a guy that's ready to go in the first round. Treadwell is ready to go. If all other options are off the table, I can see it happening, for sure.

 

I don't think it's a smokescreen at all. I mentioned Treadwell a while back in one of the many draft threads. I think Gase covets these kind of wideouts. His route running can be refined, but what makes him special is what he does once the ball is in his hands. He's one of the best blocking wideouts I've seen.

I think Gase really wants him. And I think he wants to choose the first guy in his first year as a HC. I would not be surprised on the pick if he is there.

I just hope Gase does not fall too in love with him. There are better needs, but I personally do not see an issue with the pick; esp. if BPA.

 

Parker has foot issues. Stills is in the last year of his deal, Landry has got maybe 2 more years. Treadwell has Dez Bryant type ability. I agree with the sentiment that this dude may be the last "blue-chip" player left when Miami picks. BPA? Perhaps that is why he's being looked at so hard.

 

Landry has got maybe 2 more years???? 2 yrs until what? his big pay day?? Could you explain what you are trying to say?

 

Honestly, we could go Treadwell, Elliot, OL, DE, OLB, MLB, or CB and they would all be good choices.

 

I'm guessing that's what he's trying to say. Perhaps that the team will let Landry walk when his contract it up? I really doubt it. I'm hoping that they start extention talks next March as soon as they're allowed to.

 

I would doubt it is a smoke screen, if so it is a huge waste of time and resources. We let Matthews walk, so suddenly WR becomes a need, when we all knew going into the off season we had other needs, now this group has created additional needs at WR and RB.

 

In some future we would be paying all our receivers 15 million per year

 

No problem at all if we get this guy. Just image if you will...

Treadwell, Parker, Landry, Stills as your 4 wide set.. WOW all three have GREAT HANDS and feet. To be honest I dont believe I have seen anyone in recent years with as good of hands as Treadwell has even in double and tripple coverage with perfect Coverage on him and he makes the catches! If that didnt happen and we were able to get Josh Doctson instead at a lower pick I would be just as happy both are studs and Joshn I believe is little taller / faster.

 

I like Keyarris Garrett out of Tulsa......6'3", 220 lbs., lead the nation in receiving yards in 2015.

 

As long as we go BPA with our 1st pick, we should get a starter.....if it is Treadwell, I am all for it.....I would much rather it be him as BPA rather than slightly reaching for a position of need. We need to keep drafting skill position players, especially the way the NFL works now where you are lucky to keep the players 4-5 years before losing them in FA. Especially the way Miami does things. Also, this would help keep us from ending up with a starting unit like Bess and Hartline again.

 

Also, the Phins have had Greg Toler in on a visit and have at least discussed Leon Hall. Right or wrong, the FO might not feel like they have to go CB in the first round. There's no guarantee Hargreaves might last til our pick, despite the what the majority of the mock drafts have predicted.

 

How many years will it take for fans to realize to take these visits and rumors with a grain of salt. You have to show serious interest in the players for whom teams may want to trade up.

 

I'd rather have this guy with a 5th rounder.....https://www.google.com/search?q=mitch+matthews+byu+roto&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=mitch+mathews+byu+dunk
