picking on me b/c I want Tannehill at #8?
If you're not picking on me specifically, then don't quote my post to do so b/c I've made it quite apparent that Tannehill is my first choice....
If Tannehill is off the board, my first choice would be Coples. Second is a toss up between Floyd & DeCastro. I'm with Muck--- no high 1st...

Who's your favorite Dolphin player? Is there anyone on this team you like and think is an asset?

I'm thinking that Cleveland & KC are the teams who get screwed over by Barkley & Jones not declaring, but we'll find out in a few weeks.

Now I definitely won't trust your opinion when you consider the 6th ranked scoring defense as mediocre and its DC worthy of firing for it.

then I guess it's a good thing we have Ireland doing the drafting unabated for the 2nd year in a row. :up: Surprised you're not happy by that, but...
Very possible. Personally, I'd still rather have Floyd as a primary go-to receiver.
IMO if Tannehill is off the board before we pick, there is no reason to sacrifice a quality 3rd rounder (or 2nd) to trade up for Blackmon when you...
And you base that off WHAT? Ireland's one full season of control (2011) where 2 QBs were overdrafted before our 1st round pick and where we had...
You're right. It's much better to take GM advice from a fan who's never owned a team like yourself. :001_rolleyes:

Sometimes some pieces are less important than others. Did coach Philbin need world beaters at running back to win a SB and subsequently go 15-1?

Swope's not a dime a dozen, nor is he tiny. He's listed at 6'0 206, so he's probably 5'11 and change, 200. Wait, are you the type who only...
There are more than just highlight clips out there, and members (including myself) have posted those tapes numerous times for a while now. It's...
Why, does he seem like the unlikable football type? He seems like the proverbial "coaches dream" type of player to me which might lead a team...
If he can stay healthy. Personally, I would almost never take a back in the top 10 of today's NFL for the simple fact that, as defenders continue...
next year. 2013.
#25 is Ryan Swope. IMO he's a 2nd to 3rd rounder next year. He's like a bigger Wes Welker with a little Hakeem Nicks added in. #8 is Jeff...
.... which I don't understand b/c everyone is raw at some point. That was said about Connor Barwin. But I argued his rawness was a good thing...
I think, despite 2 first rounders, the Browns are going to lose a guy they covet highly b/c they likely won't want to take him at 4, and he'll be...
For me..... 75%. High enough to use our first on him. IMO if we take Tannehill, we also have to take Swope in the 2nd round next year. You...
Maybe some of the skeptics just need a dose of good ole fashion highlight film. If this doesn't make you even a little excited about his...
IMO if you combined the best traits of both you still might be short of a decent NFL QB.
fair to whom? :shifty:
better cohesiveness than driving separately, no?
This, thank you. Tannehill at 8 is only a slight reach IMO, one that's palatable, unlike Ponder at 12 & Locker at 8 IMO.
IT wouldn't have mattered to me if he threw 300 yards and 4 TDs in the game IMO.
A 22 year old 6'11 Kevin Garnett was more athletic than Osweiler could ever dream of. And no, Osweiler's not "extremely" athletic. He's...
What did I miss that I should've come out and say? That it's the NFL making the picks, not the fans & media?... and that the fan/media consensus...
nope. I can only assume he wants to run some type of WCO since we did have Flynn and Alex Smith in..... and based on his comments during...
Which is nice b/c, with Locker you were looking for reasons to get him out of the pocket, where as with Tannehill it's more like another tool in...
College is over. IMO he'll make too much to want a roommate. No offense. Just sayin.
1. I concur. 2. I concur. 3. I concur. 1. I concur. 2. I concur. 3. Shaddup....... Well, I concur.... followed by shaddup.
Wait, we talkin 'bout the "Turbo Fist"?.... as in--- you'll never get back the 5 minutes it took to Turbo Fist my post? :shifty: You make it...
What I'm saying is---- he's talented enough to not pass on just b/c his inexperience leaves a few questions unanswered. In this case, his...
If you're constructing a franchise QB from scratch but have to balance out all the individual traits so that you can't simply give everything a...
Wow, I'm surprised you know so much about his family but so little about him as a QB. You'd think they'd at least talk to you about him some...
that's unfortunate.... for you. Does it happen to make you feel like you're missing something?
So you wanna switch it from Fist Bump... to Turbo Fist? "This post caused the following user to Turbo Fist". :chuckle: That works I...
How 'bout if we change Fist Pumps to "Vehemently Refused to Disagree"?
Heck with that. How bout "Philbin YoButt" instead? .... as like an anti thank you...... as in "This post caused the following user to Philbin...
Genuine congrats on the good first post. Welcome aboard. No need to "resist" when it's in good humor, blacklight...... or can I call you Mr...
IMO athleticism doesn't shorten him. No matter how athletic he is, his feet and just about everything else still has to cover a greater surface...
that's how I feel. IMO he doesn't have to be a yearly double digit sack guy to be an impact player who makes your defense better.
If we draft well we don't have to look at our 1st rounder as if it's the only pick we have. Ireland could very well clean it up with a draft...
I get what you're saying, but if your team believes Tannehill is the long term answer at QB, you simply don't pass on him to fill holes at less...
There's more than just one of us on this board. For clarification. Carry on.
IMO it's b/c of the extra time needed for all that length to consistently set up and properly square up to targets in the short passing game,...
With the unexpected addition of Josh Robinson, the Bills begrudgingly accept the Doofus Bronchoes offer. ^^^^
He was too slow to make it on time IIRC. :shifty:
So what you're saying is you don't like Texas A&M, are biased toward Oklahoma St, and would sacrifice Miami's success if it meant making us...
I agree..... but I don't think the massive Osweiler is what Philbin has in mind for the ideal QB type to run his system. Good for the Raiders...
you say that like he's the steal of the draft. :lol: Personally, I think he'll be drafted even later.
With the last pick of the 4th round, the Bills select Travis Lewis, LB Oklahoma. Lewis had a statistically down 2011 season, but we like the...
I wonder if Ireland really wants to be making the Arizona State visit or if he's doing so to downplay our interest in Tannehill. Not taking away...
That's a pretty extreme statement/opinion. Not sure how using a 1st on a QB with all the tools you look for the be a franchise guy is considered...
1. It sounds like you're looking at numbers & stats rather than video of him playing. 2. What's your definition of "production"? What's your...
Dolphin fans, CB Jimmy Wilson is now available for a 5th.
I've drafted all defense this year. 1 CB. :lol:
it's almost as timeless as the ole "that's what she said".
Ozzy walks into a depressed English pub after a Fins win and the bartender says, "sorry, we don't serve gay people". :shifty:
What's it say about Flynn if he hypothetically did choose the Seahawks b/c he believed it his best chance to start? Perhaps that's why Philbin...
We wouldn't have brought him in if we didn't "want him" to some extent. To clarify, being "aggressive" doesn't mean "we think he's the answer"....
It's funny how a simple little "?" and "!" after the word has us conditioned to immediately think of [IMG] Heck, when googling "playoffs"...

Gotchya. So they played at the same level during the 6-3 second half of the season as they did the 0-7 start? Yeah, ok. I could take your...
If we really want to focus on the nitty-gritty of it all, who were the players MOST responsible for the 6-3 turn around? It was the defense,...
So? Then that would mean every terrible team should be capable of finishing the season on a win streak, which doesn't happen. Terrible teams...
Question: Did anyone here expect a 1st time GM to not make any mistakes during his training period under Parcells or when he was finally given...
I don't think the coach cares as much about the team as he does his ability to carry out what he wants with it. IMO Ross's desire for offensive...
(The other thing I wanted to emphasize again) It's very possible that Jeff Ireland's eye for talent based on what Parcells wanted in a player...
If I were asked, "In one word what would you describe as the most important characteristic of an owner?", I'd answer, "passionate".

I'll be drafting soon so don't waste your time.
I thought you're only supposed to respect the ones who rub you the right way. :shifty:
Dang, I can't believe a borderline 1st/2nd rounder has slipped through the cracks completely unnoticed.
[IMG] :shifty:
That's what you get for being too drunk and knocking it over while half full. :shifty:
Where is the evidence to support your assumption? It seems Ireland's lone 2011 draft says otherwise. Examples: 1. trading up for a back...
I agree Deej, I love his skill set and hope we have a chance at him. If he already could block rather than being a guy who will "learn to block...
lol @ you dodging the subject again. Perhaps you confuse strawman with something Wizard of Oz related. :dunno:
And you know he was Ireland's choice over the czar in charge how? just asking. Again, could that perhaps be b/c Parcells ran the draft,...
Is it your strategy to say a bunch of stuff to make it seem like you're addressing the topic of the post that relates to your previous post...
Considering Harbaugh has a #1 TE who was a stud blocker before he emerged as an elite receiving one, your belief seems like it could be very possible.
yeah, he really effectively addressed QB in Carolina with Kerry Collins. :unsure: .... and it's remarkable he could address the QB position...
Polian? What a terrible idea. Yeah, let's hire the recently FIRED GUY of a talent barren 1-15 Indy team whose owner didn't seem to trust as a...
that's rich coming from the guy refusing to have a rational conversation to begin with hence the nature of my and others' posts. So what you're...
you base this on how many drafts with him running the show?
probably.... and scouting duties in accordance with Parcells' mold of what HE likes in a player. That and learning the duties of GM just like...
Exactly, TDK. It's a potential disaster having 2 alpha males on the same team who both want to run the offense their way. Philbin has likely...
Call me crazy but I'd rather have Tannehill than Rivers (if he were in this draft), especially from the neck up, his demeanor, and what comes out...
Good point. Maybe I'm not conveying myself right regarding "consistency", or maybe I'm just wrong which is entirely possible, too. lol. I'm...
Oh no, I agree. I wasn't alluding that if it sounded that way. That was more a knock on vocal arm chair fans who go by stats, media, and...
Nice analysis, and I agree with all of it except the bold. IMO his arm strength/velocity is one of the traits that excites me. The deep out...
He spent time at WR in high school too IIRC. I forget the ratio but I thought it was something like half-half. To me he seems like a natural...
