Brandon Marshall to Dolphins for second-round picks in 2010, 2011

Brandon Marshall: 101 catches for 1120 yards & 10 touchdowns in the regular season

Height 6-4
Weight 230 lbs.

he runs like wind , breaks tackles & stops on a dime

whats not to like? we signed the best available offensive player of the year

 

To people saying they'd rather have drafted Dez Bryant than trade for Marshall, you're overlooking the fact that there was no gaurantee that Dez would still be there at the 12th pick. Beyond that, it also frees us up to pick a safety or outside linebacker in the 1st instead worrying about receiver. I'd like to see them trade down and draft Brandon Graham with the 1st pick. I think he's gonna be a sack machine, and is the best pass rushing 3-4 type linebacker available, IMO.

Overall, a great move for Miami. Here's to BP making that bold move everyone has been begging for since he's got here!

 

So with all the rumors of CJ Spiller...does Miami send Ronnie Brown somewhere to replace the 2nd round pick and select Spiller at #12 and an OLB with the 2nd rounder we get from Brown?

Also, there are rumors of Ginn Jr being shopped. Maybe he nets us a 2nd or 3rd rounder too?

and who else? Oh, Smiley probably would be involved in a trade up type scenario. I'm just HYPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hhhhhmmmm.

Im not too excited about this but I'm reserving my judgement/criticism.

 

dude come on....are you kidding me?? you guys are sweating 2 2nd round picks, I love picks but for this you have too...

when a top 3 position becomes available between a WR, and QB it is rare, you have to try and find a way to get him....

I have always said through this whole Marshall thing, trade for the guy, extend him, pay him, put responsibility on him right away, something on a team level he has never had, he is the man right now, pay him like it....at 26 years old, he will get it, and thrive watch...this is a no brainer...I love it....

 

This IMO just confirms Miami trading back in the first round. Trade back a few spots, pick up another 2nd rounder and get a starting defensive player.

I wouldn't be shocked if outside of a TE and RB this draft is devoted to filling the voids on the defensive. Hell maybe even Earl Thomas at #12.

I'm ****ing so happy I can't stop being happy.

 

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......

Finally some great news!!!!!! Dansby and Marshall. Maybe Ginn will learn now.....

 

GinnJr & our 4th pick to then Raiders for McFadden
just because its not on the radar, doesn't mean it can't happen
McFadden is the immediate/future answer to our running game

 

I have to agree with you on that. I know we like our early round picks. I wouldnt be surprised if we have something already worked out to trade down.

 

just heard the news!!!!!!
wow im excited as hell about this. BM is going to be a dolphin. doesnt seem real
no need to wonder about dez now
time to go out and draft LB's

 

This just made my day!!!

 

Its a great deal. Two second rounders for argubly an elite receiver.

But man, I dunno, all that baggage he brings worries me alot.

 

Muck was just going to say that, seems like Nolan like him, he had to be the convincing authority.....

#Dolphins asked DC Mike Nolan his opinion of Brandon Marshall. Nolan said Marshall is best WR his D faced all year -- that in practice.

 

Vonnie is doing Marshall up big-time on WQAM. Says he is huge, pactices well, says he is grown alot over the past year and says change will be good for him.

 

In the words of Jim Mandich: ALRIGHT MIAMI!

Haha I nutted when I saw this text alert!

 

Vonnie also said he is not a primadona he is a very hard worker and feels Miami made out on this deal.

 

I dont love the idea of giving up 2 high picks for one player but given the bust rate at the WR position and the high learning curve I can live with it. We didnt get a steal but we did get an extremely productive player at a position that its hard, very hard, to find a legit number 1 at.

And it didnt cost us a first. I can live with that. At least as long as he keeps his nose clean.

 

I can't stop smiling.

 

dude I have been yapping this dude on here since January, and with my Dolphin buddies every Sunday since Week 6...I am truely truely numb right now....

I just walked into work, and and told them I had a problem with my house, and my good friend (fellow fins fan) did the same, we are going to the store like some alcoholics, and gonna put it on NFLN and watch this thing unfold...talk to you guys in a few....

 

Wow! I did NOT expect this but I am very glad to hear it. If nothing else it shows that the FO was very cognizant of the huge need at WR.

 

Padre.....

 

great news!!!!! All the Jets fans in my office are very very very quite today!!! i love it

question for you guys with this trade does this mean the phins will trade down and pick extra picks? or do we take a LB-NT at 12??

 

I love this quote from ESPN:

 

i hope we play the Jets twice in September. No Holmes for them. Eat some Marshall, *****es!

 

2 seconds is a bit to swallow bro. I'm not saying I'm not happy. All I am saying is I have to let the price we just paid settle in.

 

My friend just called me and woke me up tell me this. I almost cried! God i'm so happy. best wake up call EVER.

 

gish dude you made my day.

 

Rex Ryan just popped a staple.

 

Mark Schlereth echoes Holiday's statements: He said that Brandon is working hard on trying to improve himself as a person and taht he did see alot of growth in him recently.

I honestly think we'll trade down from #12.

 

In 3 offseasons, our FO(who has been pretty maligned recently) has added the following:

-an excellent o-line, featuring a pro bowl LT
-2 possible shutdown corners, or at the very least locked up 3 of 4 secondary positions for a while
-serious ILB upgrade
-with one addition, the best corps of WRs since Fryar, Ingram, and co. Marshall allows Bess to tear up the slot, and Ginn to run go routes all day.
-oh by the way, a possible franchise QB, backed up by a very capable young signal caller, and solid vet.

Yeah, Parcells sucks.

 

when you're eating a deliciously juicy, perfectly cooked steak, are you thinking about how much it cost you? NO!!!! You're just thinking, OMFG this steak is incredible!!! I don't care how many draft picks I had to give Publix!

 

Somewhere, JS is beating up Adam lol.

Very happy btw!

 

oh damn

 

I like the trade and agree we had to do somthing about our WR corps.

On a personal note does anyone else feel like next Friday night just got ruined? Unless we trade for a 2nd round pick that night will be less exciting to watch without our team picking.

 

lol. especially when i think of the picks we gave up for Feeley, Culpepper, Lamar Gordon(yikes), etc, that we picked up in the dog food aisle
