Most sources around the league are reporting that the Miami Dolphins are most interested in taking either CB Trae Waynes out of Michigan State, WR Philip Dorsett of the University of Miami or WR DeVante Parker from the University of Louisville with the 14th pick in the draft. Just wondering if you guys think we should give Tannehill another target as he starts to progress and move forward into a year where many predict he will get paid big money. Or if you think the better option would be an elite corner like Waynes who would fill a hole in an otherwise stacked Miami defence and turn it from a great unit to an elite one. However, other positions like LB and Guard still need to be addressed.

Waynes = Chubby. It'll never happen.

I'm in the minority but I think of all the "holes" on this team, CB is the least important. Not just because Taylor will be fine as the #2 and McCain will be fine in nickel, but also the position impacts our win/loss record less than other positions. All we need at the #2 CB spot is average talent. I'd much rather come out of this draft with a game changing WR, S, RB, LB or hell even another DT.
Imagine for a minute taking a really good rookie DT to pair with SUH. We'd have cheap talent to offset Suh's contract (some) while the young guy learns under Suh.DolphinGreg likes this. -
Is there a game changing S in this draft? I don't think there is.
For me I think Trae could be an exceptional CB for years to come. I would love to get him.Piston Honda likes this. -

CB should still be a high priority in the offseason, be it through FA or the draft, IMO. We have very little depth at CB... Grimes is the only proven starter at the boundary, and while I think Jamar Taylor can get the job done as the number two, we pretty much have no one else behind him.
Will Davis might not be healthy to start the season and after him we have a bunch of nobodies in Sammy Seamster, TJ Heath, and Lowell Rose. If (knock on wood) something happens to Grimes, we are completely screwed. We all saw with the Jets what happens to a defense if you have no one at the CB position... it doesn't matter if you have an elite DL if your CBs can't cover for longer than 2 seconds. -

I'd go wr over cb. Waynes was never thought to be elite until he turned in a great 40 time. If the three wr's are gone along with Gurley. I think we haveto trade back and pick up a Perriman, Goldman or McKinney.
This draft is more topheavy than a German mail order bride post WWII. We can still get top talent through round 3.Clark Kent likes this. -

Trade down and add a pick or two and then draft this guy:http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/...t-uconn-cb-byron-jones-runs-a-43-40-yard-dash
I don't think people are realizing how rare a prospect this kid is. To find a world class athlete like this who has elite character and intelligence doesn't happen often.
If all the Dolphins got out of this draft was a great LG, Byron Jones, and WR Mike Conley, I would be OK with it. Conley is another freak athlete with great size,elite character and intelligence. -

Bucky Brooks and Lance Zierlein have us taking DeVante Parker in their latest mock drafts, while Charles Davis and Daniel Jeremiah have us selecting Trae Waynes. I wouldn't mind either as Parker gives us a slightly bigger receiver to use as a red-zone threat while Waynes is a slightly larger CB who's 40 time was eye popping.
In an AFC East that features, Sammy Watkins, Brandon Marshall, Percy Harvin, Eric Decker and then whoever Brady decides to throw it to we need a legit man-to-man receiver and can't rely on Davis or Taylor to play no.2 (McCain would only play Nickel). However, if Waynes is not available then I say address CB either through free agency or hope that Taylor can progress and select Parker to give Tannehill even more targets as he accounts for the loss of one of his go-to guys Charles Clay. If neither are free then I say we trade down and get more picks for later in the draft. -
But can they play football? Being an athlete and a good guy can only take you so far77FinFan likes this. -

I don't think a DT is out of the realm of possibility. There was essentially a three-man rotation last year and the guys behind Suh and Mitchell were either UDFA's or were bouncing between practice squads. We're told there's hope those players (Johnson, Francis) will take a next step to contributing but who knows if they actually do that?

Give me weapons or give me death! At least go BPA for a change.

Trae Waynes is a pass interference machine. He ran fast at the combine and his stock went up. He's Brandon Browner with speed. No Thanks.
