    Alright we're getting close to the 2018 draft and as usual there are opinions are all over the place and try as they might no one ever picks a perfect draft sheet.

    The Dolphins are picking at 11. They could go a number of ways with that pick but what I want to know here is how you would rank each of three scenarios and then, whatever the Dolphins end up doing, which players you'd be happy with in certain first-round scenarios.

    To be clear, I'm not asking for your single preferred pick but rather, give me a short list of players whom, if the Dolphins selected one of them in the first round, you'd be happy with at that spot. Here are the options:

    1. Dolphins Pick at 11. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:

    2. Dolphins Move Up. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:

    3. Dolphins Trade Down. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:

    Additionally:

    Favourite - Name any players you really would like the Phins to pick:

    Despised - Name any players you wouldn't want the Dolphins to pick at all:

    1. Dolphins Pick at 11. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:
    LB Roquan Smith, DB Derwin James, OG Quenton Nelson

    2. Dolphins Move Up. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:
    Totally opposed. Absolutely do not want the team to move up.

    3. Dolphins Trade Down. (1/2/3)
    Short-list:
    DT Da'Ron Payne, OL Will Hernandez, TE Mark Andrews

    Additionally:

    Favourite - Name any players you really would like the Phins to pick: LB Smith, TE Andrews, OG Isaiah Wynn, C Frank Ragnow, RB Mark Walton, LB Josey Jewell, S Justin Reid.

    *I also think that Rosen is one of the best QB prospects of the last 20 years, but that this is not the year for the Fins to take one in the first round. If by some combination of miracles the team were to trade down to around 20 and he was still there, then yes pounce on him.

    Despised - Name any players you wouldn't want the Dolphins to pick at all: QB Lamar Jackson, QB Baker Mayfield, LB Shaq Griffin

    1. Dolphins Move Up.
    ONLY for QB Josh Rosen - I have a feeling this kid is going to be special. I had this same feeling about Aaron Rogers years ago and when Miami took Ronnie Brown instead of Rogers I nearly broke my TV. Just to be honest here, I have had that feeling about some busts too. :blink:

    2. Dolphins Trade Down.
    Sony Michel, Calvin Ridley, or Raashan Evans

    3. Dolphins Pick at 11.
    Nelson, Edmunds, Fitzpatrick or James - Nelson will be a long shot but I would jump on him if he was available at 11.

    Favourite - Rosen, Nelson, Andrews, Michel and Ridley

    Despised - Baker Mayfield (BM)

    1. Dolphins Pick at 11- Roquan Smth or Da’Ron Payne

    2. Dolphins Move Up- We don't move up, but if we did it would be for Saquon Barkley or Minkah Fitzpatrick

    3. Dolphins Trade Down- Likely Vita Vea, Leighton Vander or Da’Ron Payne (one will slide way down)

    4. Dolphins Trade Way Down In The First Round- It would be Best Pick Available on the defensive side.

    Favorite - Anyone who's not a quarterback. I particularly want Barkley (although we won't get him).

    Despised - Anyone who's a 1st round quarterback or an offensive player not named Barkley.
