To be clear: If Mallett is still on the board at #15 I would not trade down. I would pull the trigger. Mainly because I would be too afraid of...

If Mallett makes it to #15 I believe we could trade down as far as #24 and still get him. 16 JAGS - Garrard 17 PATS - Brady 18 CHARGERS - Rivers...

Here's mine: Round 1 (12) - OLB Jason Pierre-Paul 6046 270 USF (junior) Round 3 (73) - FS Reshad Jones 6012 214 Georgia (junior) Round 4 (110) -...

With those 14 players off the board you nailed it with Mallett, Ingram, and Pouncey being the BPA at a position of need for us. Here's a wild...

You know what sucks? With those players off the board, the best remaining players are mostly defensive ends: Cameron Jordan, J.J. Watt, Adrian...

More likely it would cost us our 2nd next year.

From TFY Draft Insider: http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=5168 The Dolphins hold a mid-first round pick. Hmmm...

Yep. That's the best way to put it. :up:

I don't understand why Cox would be a pass rush coach. He was a 43 linebacker not a pass rusher. Wouldn't it make more sense for him to be our...

It's because Andrew Luck stayed in school. Plain and simple. If he declared everybody would be saying this is one of the best quarterback...

The problem I have with any Mock Draft this season is they never include trades and I believe the Dolphins are very likely going to either trade...

Agree to disagree. :knucks:

This is the same regime that passed on Matt Ryan. Change that one pick and this year's draft has a completely different feel. We'd be looking at...

Conviction. That's a good word. Our front office hasn't had enough conviction to pull the trigger on a QB in the 1st round since 1983. That's...

IMO That would be a huge mistake. Ponder is not the next Drew Brees.

The top 10 quarterbacks in 2010: Tom Brady - 6th round Drew Brees - 2nd round (1st pick) Peyton Manning - 1st round Philip Rivers - 1st...

:lol: Yeah do what I say not what I do! :lol: I agree. Gabbert must prove to be worth the pick. But so far (and it's early in the...

I addressed this in an earlier post. It depends on how they feel about John Skelton and Max Hall. If the Cards don't believe Gabbert is an...

Could we get a copy of these posts to Jeff Ireland?! :up:

Want more reasons why we should move up and draft Gabbert? 1. We passed on Drew Brees for Jamar Fletcher in 2001. 2. We passed on Aaron...

I just re-read these posts. You guys know I wasn't referring to Edds as a thumper right?

I like Aldrick Robinson, Christian Ballard, and Dontay Moch.

I know. Can he get off blocks and sort throw trash at the next level? Who knows? But I say it's worth a 4th round pick to find out. All the...

We should draft Casey Matthews. Gotta get some of that Matthews magic. It's gotta be the hair! I also like Ross Homan and Quan Sturdivant....

Hey Alen what do you know about Kris Adams? Why isn't he graded higher? And where do you see him going?

He is worth it. Get the man a QB!

You sure? That would really surprise me. In a good way! :up: Just you watch. Kaepernick is on the rise. It only takes one team as...

With that in mind it might be a good year for us to trade up! :up: That's a fine draft. However we don't have a 6th round pick and we only...

Oh yeah. I agree. That's why I listed them together. One of them is being drafted ahead of Gabbert for sure. Both of them? Maybe. Maybe not....

Thanks for weighing in Alen. :up: I have no problem removing Sherrod from the list. Respectfully disagree on 3 and 4. It is extremely unlikely...

1. Nick Fairley is rated way higher than Gabbert. 2. Da'Quan Bowers is rated way higher than Gabbert. 3. Both cornerbacks are rated...

According to the trade value chart we could trade #15 to Baltimore (#26), Atlanta (#27), or Chicago (#29) for their 1st and 2nd. The Ravens would...

Well I certainly can't debate that with you if that's your opinion. For all we know you are right about Henne. (But I don't think so.) So all I...

I agree. However the 7th and 8th spots are probably the most likely because of the talent ahead of Gabbert. Are any of those Top 7 teams going...

How in the world did you figure that? :confused2: I believe any team making this deal would work off the assumption that our 1st round pick is...

If a legit Top 10 prospect somehow fell to 15th then we could trade back. Also there are four quality tackles. One or two of them will rise to...

Why? Gabbert is the top quarterback in this year's draft. What good is our 1st round pick going to do us next year if we still don't have a QB?

Draft Blaine Gabbert.

1 & 2. If the Panthers take Fairley then the Broncos will probably take Bowers. And vice versa. That gets us to the 3rd postion. 3. The Bills...

If we traded our 1st round pick this year (2011) and our 1st round pick next year (2012) then we could move up to the 4th or 5th spot. If we...

These numbers are meaningless. Anybody who watched the games knows the effect Henne had on the outcome - positive or negative.

Final sack count: Cameron Wake - 14 sacks Joey Porter - 5 sacks Jason Taylor - 5 sacks Koa Misi - 4.5 sacks

Yards per game in 2009: 205.6 Yards per game in 2010: 220.1 20+ plays in 2009: 23 20+ plays in 2010: 37 I believe QB rating, completion...

Absolutely. I list those four quarterbacks because I believe all four have potential. Gabbert would be my first choice. Followed by Mallet and...

Great write-up! Very entertaining read. :up: I am particularly interested in: Patrick Devlin, Nathan Enderle, Scott Tolzien, Vai Taua, Evan...

Of course it's easier. Finding a franchise QB is like finding the holy grail. Before the season started I thought Henne was the guy but now I'm...

I don't know if I'd say the timing was odd. For all we know Sparano and his coaches decided to roll with Henne the first half of the season and...

Good point. I am all for competition at every position. I would just point out that QB is the most important position on offense. If Hartline...

I don't agree with the way Henne was benched. Sparano should have given him a warning, "Kid if you lose next week or throw a bunch of...

You draft a QB in the 1st round and if Henne beats him out for the starting job then you make a trade in a couple years and recoup the pick.

Great post. :up: That is exactly how I feel. Henne has shown glimpses but he has not been consistent. So bring in another guy to compete for...

I will say we called that fade pass to the corner way too often. That never worked. Not once. However I disagree with the idea that the Wildcat...

As he said in the article, one QB is a 1st round pick with a large contract. The other QB was passed up for Phillip Merling and makes...

That's just it. There's a thin line between glimpses and inconsistency. A quarterback that constantly shows "glimpses" is actually inconsistent....

Yep! :knucks: Competition didn't hurt Drew Brees in San Diego when they drafted Rivers. It didn't hurt Joe Montana in San Francisco when they...

My early dream draft: 15. Trade up for QB Blaine Gabbert 6-5 235 Missouri 4.72 79. C Jake Kirkpatrick 6-3 305 TCU 5.14 113. ILB Casey...

Noel Devine could be a gem. High risk/reward type player but could be worth a roll of the dice in the 3rd round. Don't see Matthews getting...

Love Merecic! However I don't think we have a 6th round pick. Traded it to the Cowboys for McQuistan. Ingram is a solid pick but we need a QB....

I was hoping for these guys to declare: QB Andrew Luck 6-4 235 Stanford 4.73 QB Brandon Weeden 6-4 220 Oklahoma State 4.84 QB Nick Foles 6-5...

I would be very surprised if Henne was our starting QB next season. With Ronnie and Ricky we should have been a run first offense. But we...

We are not going to make a huge jump with Henne as our QB. Not unless he can eliminate the interceptions and improve his accuracy. Draft a...

Just to play devil's advocate. Here are the Top 10 offenses this season: New England Patriots San Diego Chargers Philadelphia...

:lol: Man I just look at New England's offense and drool. The fact the Daboll played a part in that has got me excited. Think about it......

I like the hire. :up: 1. The Pats and the Jets are the teams to beat in the AFC. Daboll has spent time with both. 2. He was with the...

No center?! A couple problems with this mock. They've got Mallett as the 1st QB off the board and none of the first 14 teams taking a QB. Also...

Bill O'Brien - New England's QB Coach. He called the plays in the last game we just played.

1. QB is key. There isn't a doubt in my mind we would have made the playoffs if Peyton Manning, Brady, or Brees was our QB this year....

You have to think outside the box a little bit. If we trade our #1 this year and our #1 next year, we can move up into the Top 10 and get our QB....

If he's still on the board in the 5th round then Kris Adams from UTEP is the wideout we should draft.

Offense: 24 points 303 yards Defense: 24 points 303 yards Special Teams: 178 return yards The longest return will be 78 yards

I'm already on record with Weeden. He has tremendous value in the later rounds. The only reason he isn't a 1st round pick is because of his age....

I am a Gabbert fan. Stanzi is pretty good too. I like his size, the system he plays in, good accuracy, he can sling it down the field, and he...

Dolphins Fans too. Since it will have a ripple effect that could affect whether or not we are able to draft one of the top quarterbacks coming out.

My expectations: An immediate starter in the 1st round. If it's a Top 10 pick then I would expect the player to be Pro Bowl caliber and...

Offense: Lions 23 points Defense: Lions 17 points Special Teams: Dolphins 137 total return yards

Also found this interesting. The Patriots have scored the most points in the NFL this season. 446 points. Their opponents have scored 303...

I hope he makes the Pro Bowl and I hope he gets paid. He deserves it.

When considering a new offensive Coordinator I would look at the top offenses in the NFL. Pats Eagles Chargers Colts Falcons Giants...

Nice. :up: I'm a Fasano fan.

Stranger things have happened. Go Jags! :lol: BTW The Texans and the Jags are division rivals. So the rules don't apply. Either team...

Here's another way to look at it. The Bengals are 2-11. The Panthers are 1-12. Do you think Bengals fans are rooting for wins or losses these...

I hear you guys. I always root for us to win but the last few years our season has ended early. There was a stretch of four years where we...

Excellent point! That would be awesome!!!

I was really torn watching the Jets game. I can't help rooting for us to win! But the whole time the logic half of my brain kept reminding me...

Assuming we re-sign Ronnie I would not use a 1st round draft pick on a running back this year. With that in mind there are several late round...

The Owen Daniels situation is very interesting. The injury has diminished his value but if he bounces back in 2011 then you could end up with an...

Thanks. It's always tricky figuring out who can make the conversion from DE to OLB. Kerrigan (6-4 263) is the pefect size to play OLB in our...

If Foles declares and we draft him I will be extremely happy. Best possible draft scenario if you ask me. My second choice if Foles stays in...

Offense: 397 total offensive yards 59 total plays Defense: 425 total offensive yards allowed 61 total plays allowed Special Teams: Jets 157...

Not so fast. As we stand today the #9 overall pick will go to a 5-7 team. We are 6-6 which means we could end up with a Top 10 pick by the end...

They still need a left tackle. And a pass rush.

Agreed. :up:

It's just interesting is all. By the end of the season we could end up with the same record as one of them. (Just noticed the Bills and the...

Something to consider. We probably won't have a shot at Andrew Luck. Our draft gurus are not sold on Mallett and Locker. Foles might not...

For sure. No guarantees. And Arizona would have to have a better season. But Foles would have a better chance at being the #1 QB in 2012 than...

I was just looking at the schedule. The Bills and the Lions are both 2-10. As it stands right now they will pick 2nd, 3rd, or 4th. We play both...

Two words: Santonio Holmes. A player's past should always be taken into consideration, but talent wins out.

Yeah he's old. He's actually 26. But that is also the reason why he could still be on the board in the 5th round.

Wannstache stepped down as coach. Wonder if that influenced his decision.

As it stands today we could pick as high as #5 or as low as #20. Two tough games left on our schedule in the Jets and Pats. A tougher than they...

Punch Saban in the face for me!

BTW I don't think Foles is going to declare. No inside info. Just my gut feeling. Foles could be the top QB in 2012 if he stays in school.

The Alamo Bowl is December 29th. Arizona (Foles) vs OK St (Weeden). Set your DVR now!

The playoff teams pick 21-32. It would really suck if we don't make the playoffs and end up with the 20th pick. :pity:

Wow. You are really bucking popular opinion. I love it! What's your opinion on Weeden? Another QB I really like is Stanzi.

Also: Any love for Brandon Weeden among the draft gurus? Take his age out of the equation and I believe he's better than ck's guy Yates or maybe...

Let's assume the Dolphins don't want to roll the dice with Cam Newton or he's off the board before we pick. If we are slotted ~15th overall and...

Or Vincent Brown from San Diego St? Aldrick Robinson from SMU? Kris Adams from UTEP? James Rodgers from Oregon State?

Good point. Even if we re-sign Ronnie Brown can we depend on Ricky Williams again (like we did in 2009) if Ronnie gets injured? We should...

How many head coaches has he been through? C'mon... New England's offensive system hasn't changed once since Brady has been the QB. Belichick...

Here's a name for you: Santana Moss. He is a free agent next year. Okay. Stop rolling your eyes or shaking your head. Here's my thought....

I disagree. A new center and a blocking TE could fix our running game. And fix it immediately. We also need a QB who throws more touchdowns...

Michael Vick made the Pro Bowl his second year in the league. Newton has that potential as well. You draft him. You start him. Let him take...

My point is Tom Brady is a great QB. Yet you could make the argument that he is a product of New England's system. Joe Montana was a great QB...

I just noticed a lot of quarterbacks are named Matt. Maybe we should draft Matt Barkley when he comes out. :lol:

Yeah I see what you mean. But if you're running a spread offense and that first receiver isn't open you still need to look for a second receiver....

I said you could make the argument. Brady hasn't played anywhere else. I don't think it's idiotic to think he would not have three Super Bowl...

I'm sorry. Do you have physical evidence of Tom Brady playing lights out in a system outside of New England?

I have as good a chance as Yates getting drafted in round 2. :lol:

Not saying you're wrong but why doesn't it translate? Isn't the QB going through his progressions either way? I like Yates too. My concern...

Kellen Moore is a great college quarterback. Don't see him having the same success in the NFL. But what do I know? He doesn't think like a...

Kaepernick is raw and will need time to develop but I think he's got skills. Both running and throwing the ball. Smart, accurate, good...

If I was Jeff Ireland I would draft Cam Newton in the 1st and then come back and take Kaepernick in the 4th. Or Nick Foles in the 1st (if he...

It would probably take more than that depending on our slot. In most scenarios we are probably taking about this year's 1st and next year's 1st...

Henne throws too many interceptions.

My prediction: AFC East Winner Pats 12-4 AFC North Winner Ravens 12-4 AFC South Winner Colts 10-6 AFC West Winner Chargers 10-6...

If we beat the Browns we advance to 7-5. If the Jets beat the Pats they drop to 9-3. We would both have two losses in the division. If we win...

Offense: Ronnie Brown 77 rushing yards Defense: Peyton Hillis 99 rushing yards Special Teams: Dolphins 91 yards

Offense: 24 points 313 yards Defense: 21 points allowed 348 yards allowed Special Teams: Dolphins 42 yards

And you know this how?

Offense: Brian Hartline will catch the longest pass for the Dolphins this week. 18 yards Defense: 125 yards 45 yards Special Teams: 3...

That's what I'm talking about. :up: Passing on Jake Long would have set off a chain reaction. Who knows how it would have turned out?

Very true. Still doesn't change the fact that Ryan appears to have the makings of a great QB. He is on the verge of becoming the next...

I apologize in advance for this post but I cannot help myself or my imagination. If we had drafted Matt Ryan then Jake Long would would have slid...

I wouldn't say "doomed." But it might have set us back a few years. Three years after Parcells, Ireland, and Sparano took charge it appears we...

I think he was joking.

Yeah. Pennington played in the preseason. Fared pretty well actually. I found this quote by Fisher to be very interesting......

The move to Pennington doesn't bother me so much as the timing of the move to Pennington. If Penny is the answer to our offensive woes, why...

Oh yeah I forgot: Passing on Randy Moss? Not allowing Pennington to be on the sidelines last year because he was injured? Playing our starters in...

Well apparently Sparano's answer is: Henne is what's wrong with our offense. This move to Pennington is a disaster if you ask me. It calls into...

Well I guess our QB situation is still up in the air. Marino retired in 2000 and we still haven't found his successor ten years later. It's a...

Updating these stats at midseason: Cameron Wake - 8.5 sacks (2nd in the NFL) Joey Porter - 5 sacks Koa Misi - 3.5 sacks Jason Taylor -...

Question: Should the Dolphins make the switch to a spread offense? Would that suit our personnel better?

This bears repeating: Scheffler had 8 games where he only caught one pass. Also he caught a pass for 20+ yards in five games. Fasano has...

Okay. I was just responding to your "bottom tier" comment. Good points! :up: I just want to mention of few things: Bess's numbers last year...

Ah, stats. So misleading. First off he is not 14th in TDs. He is in a 14-way tie for 6th. Hardly bottom tier. He is not 14th in 20+...

I agree but I wouldn't say we cannot rely on Henne. It comes down to our philosophy. Do we run to set up the pass or do we pass to set up the...

Wow. I didn't know that. Now I am really depressed. :sad: That is the play-call I second-guessed as well. And not just 3rd down. We passed...

1. The numbers don't support that theory. Nobody is going to confuse Fasano with Gates (who is playing out of his mind this season) but bottom...

Really? I feel like we are about as talented as a team can be on offense. I mean what other team has four or five players as good as Marshall,...
