"The Miami Dolphins have the 12th pick in the upcoming draft and it appears that the team is going to take a linebacker since the team has basically ditched both Joey Porter(notes) and Jason Taylor(notes) this off season."

Fire Jeff Ireland if we do any of the following:
1.) fail to draft a S of a LB at #12
2.) Draft for the offense in the first 3 rounds
3.) Fail to produce a top rated defense next year with all the tools to do so available this year.
4.) Trade down at #12cobrajet likes this. -

Anyone who can embarress an offensive tackle like that is a monster to me -
I still say if the Giants don't trade up somehow to get McClain, he will be a Dolphin.

I agree 100%. In a defensive draft like this you pick from the defensive tree, especially if you need to fill those positions anyway. This is truly a no brainer. Ireland would have to be a football idiot to draft an offensive player in the first few rounds. -

Kindle will be a monster for us if used correctly. He needs to be moved around to exploit matchup opportunities the way he was two years ago. He will be much better as a lb than a de

Sergio Kindle is CAM WAKE. Primarily a pass rusher, cant drop in coverage or play the run well, only a fit as a WOLB. In case you hadnt noticed we've got 91 and 56 playing weak side. Kindle is no better than Wake and Anderson, he'd cost 3-4 times as much as they do, eat up a roster spot, take years to learn the OLB position, and generally be a waste of a pick. Just say no.

How in the hell do you expect a top rated defense this season???
No FS. One good LB in Dansby. No NT.
The only upside on the defense is DE and CB.GMJohnson likes this. -
WOW REALLY?!? Dez Bryant or a LB?!? How'd they figure that? They must have really done the math for this one. Wonder if they were wearing lab coats and the whole shebang...
...talk about a break-through discovery. No one would have expected this! Good Job, Mr. Miller!Trowa, Ozzy, DolfanJake and 2 others like this. -
I think Kindle would be a good fit for a team like the Jets, who lack a speed-edge rusher. But Cam Wake is our neighborhood speed rusher and Kindle would be more of the same IMO. I'd rather draft a guy like Griffen, Misi, or Worilds. Guys who can play strong side, set the edge, and be a compliment to Wake/Anderson. We played last year with 4 WOLB (JP,JT,Wake,Anderson) and 1 SOLB (Moses), I dont want to repeat that mistake again. Everyone blames Soliai for the dropoff in run D after Ferg went down, but not having Matt Roth to force plays back inside was just as big a problem IMO.texanphinatic likes this. -
Look, when you start putting need ahead of value, you're reaching. And, on a team with as many needs as we have, you really don't need to do that. Set your board based on how you value all the players available, and at every position of need. Then select the BPA...period. Trade up and trade back as needed. It's that simple. And, if you don't believe me, just look at the Patsies. Love 'em or hate 'em, they know how to draft.
Bottom line, the Dolphins aren't going to improve the team with just the #12 pick. Or, with just the first three picks. They're going to improve the team with a solid draft, hitting as many prospects as possible. To suggest that if they take Bryant at #12 they're making a huge mistake is, well...foolish IMO. Keep in mind...the best defense is a great offense. Am I advocating taking Bryant with the first overall pick? No, not necessarily. But, if it's who they value the most, and it also fills a need, then I say why not?
Let me ask you all a question...how pumped would we ALL be if our offense could light up a score board like Indy and New Orleans? Think on that for a minute. If we had an offense that could either grind it out via a power running game, or strike fast with a big play passing game, how potent would that be?jetssuck likes this. -

Hold it. The Sheriff is in town. Sergio Kindle SUCKS......at 12 overall. He made an impact in college because he overpowered the players. Playing among men he's gonna have to be faster than his 4.65 40 to make the immediate impact that people want him to have. I'm just afraid of having him on the outside trying to make a play on CJ2k. I think one of the biggest problems with our Defense last year was a lack of speed. I don't think Sergio would be much of a major impact given his speed. Then again I'm not an expert. Ask MUCK.

perhaps we shouldnt field a defense at all and let the opponent score at will
just to get the high powered offense back on the field to hope we win the shootout :wink2:
you still have to stop someone and build a defense
just as important in this offense driven league -

Oh, but wait, they could take a FS as well ?? Or they could take a NT... Or they could take a G... Or....the list is endless....
Seriously, Mando could have written a better article.... -
:lol: -
I write better articles than this on toilet paper. I mean had he said something like the dolphins thinking very hard at taking Mike Iupati or something at least thats different rather than this regurgitated mess.

the amount of people that hate Sergio Kindle becoming a Dolphin reminds me of last year with Vontae Davis. Just makes me want him even more :lol:

FWIW, merely dumping G Wilson will improve the Defense, toss in more dynamic Lb's in Wake and whomever we draft or even a holdover...Puka-head and adamprez2003 like this. -
