2012 should be a very simple draft for Miami
basically, I think the team is set,
we have the talent to coach our offense into a formidable unit
1) Clay will play TE in this West Coast offense opposite Fasano
2) Gates, Hartline, Wallace & Bess @ WR provide size, speed & go-to potential
3) Long, Incognito, Pouncey, Jerry, Murtha (Garner/Carey) provide the makings of an excellent OL
4) Bush & Thomas @ RB are more than adequate
5) Moore & Gerrard @ QB allow us to begin the season competently.
the only draft pick we have to nail down is Ryan Tannehill & I believe he will be there @ eight, if not we move up & get him
after that concern is addressed, it's a matter of best @ pick for the rest of the draft
over-all the team looks very strong in every department offense, defense & special teams

Ireland will not draft Tannehill at 8. It goes against how he drafts. Chances are he will draft safe/trade down.

pretty much
we can always upgrade through the draft but I see no glaring holes to be filled.
wants & needs are two different things
the only real need we have is for a Franchise QB & he is available to us in 2012
seems simple enough to me
coaching should make the difference @ this point in our development, once the issue of the Franchise QB is behind us -
Maybe you missed the fact that we went 6-10 last year

I believe coaching will make a difference but your post seems like your forgetting that we only won 6 games last year. -

Trade down and get another second.
1) Fleener
2) WR (BPA)
2) RT/DE (BPA)
3) Osweiler
3) DE/RT (Whichever you didn't take in 2nd)
4) Tommy Streeter
My draft. The BPA just means BPA at the position listed. Also Buckeye if we take DeCastro I'll actually be thrilled. In my opinion he's a hall of fame talent. Usually I would never justify taking a guard that high but in my opinion an elite guard can completely change your offense in the passing AND running game. -

two words explain it: Sparano & Henne :yes:
moan & groan & ***** all you want
but there is talent on the team & we are not rebuilding
the coaching cadre is experienced & motivated
let them make the difference, it's how they earn their keep

other than one real need, there are only possible upgrades
our best strategy would be the best player regardless of position @ any given pick, rounds 2 through 7
this team needs to be coached & compete, not rebuilt
I think it is possible that Moore can get the team into post-season this year with our current roster
with the parity in the NFL today
the difference between teams usually can be found in 4 things:
1) Coaching!
2) Coaching!
3) Coaching!
4) Franchise QB
Tannehill @ 8 :dolphin: there is no debate -
Sorry but you're delusional
We have the WORST wide receiver group in the NFL
Our #1 wide receiver has 1 td in the past 26 games...No cause for concern here????
4 TDS all season for the group of wide receivers you have
News flash...teams don't win when the core base of wide
receivers have 4 tds between them.
Yeah were set on the offensive line with giving up 52 sacks last season
Garner has started 9 games in 3 years
Murtha has started 4 games in 3 years
Carey isn't even on the team
Jerry is ????? He has 1 good game versus Buffalo and
people around here have him going to Canton
Be lucky if were 6-10 next season unless we draft 8 all pro playersAquafin, Killer Bees and Rouk like this. -
The skill positions are?
We're not *****ing, or moaning! What most people are doing is pretty clear. Pretty clear that they watched the Dolphins go 6-10, and realizing that the HC and Qb were only a part of the problem.
What you're doing is well.....dreaming comes to mind!Killer Bees likes this. -

you are certainly welcome to voice your opinions as loudly & inaccurately or legitimately as you want to pursue your end
I'm not a pundit, however, I've participated in sports as a coach, player & fan over the course of a life-time & have seen a lot go down
I honestly see the situation in it's simplicity as I have posted it in this thread:

Furthermore, I think Miami will finally turn the corner this season in the NFL. We will reclaim our identity & find our way to competitive & winning football by the end of this year :yes:

I don't know what makes you think were going to reach for Tannehill at 8 when it goes against every Ireland does in round 1.

Maybe it's just me and with all due respect, but this thread is taking something simple and making it difficult while talking about something difficult and attempting to make it simple.

We have one of the 3-4 worst WR corps in the league. I would hope it gets addressed in the draft -

I thought he wrote "excellent LOLine". At least Moore will get a chance to see the rush coming head on from the right.
electrolyte and Ozzy like this. -
Big Jake was nicked up, Pouncey was a rookie playing Center, our two best OL were not exactly ready for primetime.
I do believe subtracting Colombo will be a net plus and that will go a long way to settling the OL
My real question is playmakers, at Wr, we really don't have any we have more of a consistent Wr corps.
I do think Hartline as the quasi 1 Wr is a risky proposition as he can go stretches were he is either injured or invisible. If we lose him we are down to DBess and real unknowns at Wr. -
We were pretty good fir the second half of the season and we upgraded our coaches and we have a weak schedule.
-
I hated the bm trade and at first thought it created a huge hole but the fact is we dont need a #1 wr with our new offense. Greenbay is full of #2 wrs. Its gonna be a team effort this year with our wide receivers. Plus our te's, rb and maybe even our new fullback we be catching more balls this year. The way I see it is our needs are: a franchise QB, a couple of olineman, and another pass rusher.

We don't have a single star on the team, its not even close to set. That is a complete joke and misunderstanding of the roster to even think we are close to set. We are team that needs play makers on offense and defense to even compete for a playoff spot. Right now we are a team with 6-10 talent at best, if we draft well and the new coaching staff implements quality systems I think we can squeak out maybe 8-10 wins if we play good sound football and don't turn the ball over, but we need playmakers and a few stars or we will never contend in the AFC East let alone for the title. Oh yeah and we have the gaping hole at the Qb position......this team needs a lot of work.
