***The Official Miami Dolphins Draft Day Thread***

well, #3yards has me convinced and excited about the possibility of R Smith as our future LB to pair with Raekwon McMillan

 

I think the closest I could give to a spoiler is that the Dolphins are currently planning on drafting a footballer of some position today. This is however not certain.

I'm hoping the top 10 is a bloodbath this year and let's us either come out with a top talent or nets us a kings ransom when somebody else decides to jump up in order to get their man. Also I haven't slept in almost 35 hours so a mad draft night for everyone would at least help to keep me awake.

 

I know one thing the mcclinchey kid and top 10 momentum is building.

That would be a gift from the football gods for Miami.

 

Widely reported that Baker is going number one....certainly not official, but when Vegas talks?? We should listen.

 

I feel like Baker's attitude is going to get alot of HC's fired in the years to come.

 

Ryan Tannehill has been informed he will be the starting QB in 2018 if Miami selects a QB rd. 1, per pft.

 

I’d take Allen. Pro style qb rediculous upside. As a plan b for Tanny absolutely.

But I’d be shifting into a heavy pa vertical based offense if he played

The fit for the pre snap and progression read less than ideal.

Do what he does best. Work off pa and vertical passing game for chunk yards

You can live with accuracy at a 60 or so clip in a vertical based o

And we’d call every vertical route combo in the tree too

 

Depends who's already made moves etc. I mean if the Bills are there then you could probably really leverage the Saints as you know the Bills would be going QB

 

Gross

 

For Rosen I stay and take him no question. For Allen? I'd be tempted to trade, but it'd need to be a haul. I'd avoid a trade with Buffalo if at all possible. Arizona, the Saints, Chargers, Steelers, etc. Can use the Mahomes trade as the basic frame.

That said, unless the FO and Gase are really sold on Tannehill beyond 1-2 years, I think you need to take him. The biggest thing that may go into the equation is finances. A first round QB who provides good QB play is such an insane value compared to a free agent, it's so tough from a cap standpoint to pass on that. Look at what the Seahawks did with Wilson, look at what the Eagles are doing with Wentz and you get the idea.

 

Indeed. Gross misinterpretation.

I meant it would be a gift for us if he went top 10 in front of us

 

Take him

 

Hell yes. Take those picks!

 

He means if he moves into the top 10 another great player may fall to Miami

 

uh...ehhh..I meant up. Gross in a good way. You know how the young bucks use gross now a days. Riding around listening to their cassette tapes calling each other gross.

 

No thanks, the last time we did a favor for the Saints we ended up with Daunte Culpepper and handed them Brees on a silver platter.

 

Baker probably won't last to 11, so I hope he goes number #1. If he does, then I think the Giants will take Darnold at #2. That might help free up a blue chipper we might not otherwise see at 11. Even if it's for Smith, I don't want to trade up a few picks for a guy. We need too much help.

 

What's the over/under on a commercial break when Miami is on the clock? I know it's on at least 3 channels but I'm sure they'll all go to commercial break.

 

I like Mayfield, but a couple weeks ago he was supposedly going around 10. The way he has shot up to #1 the last week or so smacks of misinformation and smoke screens. Of the players that i think will still be around, I would still prefer Edmunds or if hes gone Vea. We need defensive help more than anything else imho.

 

I remember when Arden Key out of LSU was top ten just a few months ago...

 

This is the first time in I dont know how long that there seems to be no idea who is going number 1. Everyone is all over the place.

 

I’m really hoping for Lamar Jackson. High risk , high reward.

 

That makes 2 of us

 

Miami will draft QB Lamar Jackson or LB Leighton Vander Esch in first round..

 

How does the first pick ever take so long?

 

A lot of peeps in chat if you guys want to join us in there.

 

K, guessing Barkley for Giants and Darnold for Jets

 

I have no idea. Just to waste our time I guess.

 

Eli gets some help

 

I thought the Giants were going to go QB. Surprising.
