    IF Berry was there, I would give our guys a NASCAR powered shuttle to get up and make the pick. LOL, but serious.

    all i will say is i would take a game changing OLB over an ILB every day of the week .... not sure Kindle is that -- AND i do believe we will trade down slightly say to 14-16 ... and still get someone like Graham.

    Trading down is our best choice. As you say, I believe we can trade down around 5 spots, and still get who we want, and a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

    Kindle is a wreaking havoc type LB, a bit like JT. Graham is a beast on the outside. I'm happy with either but, Kindle is my pick.

    Also, Kindle can cover.

    Pretty bad mock. JPP 3rd overall? Berry falling out of the top 10, then we pass on him to take Kindle over Graham and Griffen?

    I agree, beyond any shadow of any doubt. I liked Kindle, and then he had a great game when it mattered.

    He can cover. :)

    Eh the plays he made against Alabama (if that is the game you are talking about) didn't really require any special skill set. They were pretty straight forward, and not anything most other talented OLBs couldnt have done.

    Not really a fan of Kindle.

    I am right there with you. I would really freak out and be livid. There is about 9 scenarios that I would rather happen than us draft Kindle. As if passing on Berry was not bad enough they draft Kindle!!!

    I'd be super pissed if we passed on Berry. I would really lose faith in the Dolphins organization.

    In that situation I'll take Berry. If Berry is gone, I'll take Earl Thomas.

    Both Berry and Thomas are running into size issues, at least that was the yibber yabber on NFLN last evening.

    To me, a dude can play or they can't, Kindle is one of those players that has tools, but also has huge weaknesses, at #12 for us, I would not be wild about the pick.

    But is there some huge difference between Kindle, Morgan, Griffen or Graham ?

    They all have issues, but do their strengths overcome them , that is the question.

    He paid me 10 loonies?

    :shifty:

    Actually because he passed Matthews for the CFL All Time win record and chances are excellent that 99% of NFL fans have never heard of him.

    So up Coach Brillo goes.

    And I've spent literal hours watching Cam Wake last season and literal hours this year watching Grice Mullen and Lumbala as well as Huffnagel's Dimitri Tsoumpas so I've gotten a lot more respect for the CFL game, and two yrs with Coach B on film he is sort of my CFL go to guy..



    Out of curiousity wpg...why do you ask? You are like the 3rd Canadian who has asked me about it and I'm sort of curious why?

    I really like Kindle, but I like him best on another team. He has a ways to go and at 12, no thanks.

    im going to hammer with this up till the draft
    brandon graham is the best fit.. he is 6'-1" i know
    led the nation in tackles for losses

    morgan doesnt get it done for me. How does he fit in our 3-4
    the guy is a 4-3 DE in the nfl somewhere

    dont forget about Jerry Hughes:up:

    I won't speak for wpg, but I asked because, i don't expect to see a CFL coach on a Miami Dolphins message board.
    No offense to anyone, but most guys couldn't name all 8 teams in the CFL, let alone a single Head Coach.
    I was surprised to see it and my first thought was you must be Canadian.

    P.S. You should've held out for 5 Toonies. :shifty:

    I saw Kiper and McShay on ESPN earlier. They gave their top five LB's and DB's combined for this draft. Both had Berry, Haden, McClain and Thomas as their top four.

    Kiper had Kindle, and McShay had Graham for #5. One point for Killer. :)

    Anytime I hear Sergio Kindle I think of the queer interior decorator in Beverly Hills cop.. :shifty:
    There are easily 25 guys that make more sense than Kindle....

    I have Kindle grouped together with Graham, Thomas, and McClain. I favor Kindle because he fills our biggest need in getting to the QB, coverage from an OLB, athletic, and can go sideline to sideline. He will be a playmaker in the NFL.

    From what I've seen and heard, Kindle at #12 would be a major reach. In fact, he's probably more of a 2nd/3rd round prospect. He's strictly a pass rush specialist, and is considered weak in run support. Don't we already have that in Cam Wake?

    Enjoyed it!! BUT (of course) letting go of Bess? I'd hate the idea of losing possibly the best pair of hands on the team. He and Camarillo are both absolute studs at making the tough catch!

    At #12, Kindle would be a reach. Most see him in the 18-22 range, very similar to Graham. I have seen or heard no one who see's him in the second round.

    I'm all for trading down, and adding a pick. I've started to look at players available at #12, and teams who may trade up to get them.

    Spiller may be one, with SD looking for a LT replacement. Haden, very unlikely, may be another. NT Williams for Pitt could be a third.

    Any help on this would be appreciated.

    This exactly, however, I would be surprised to see him last till the third. -
    I have seen LOTS of Sergio, he is a solid pass rusher, lacking in the other aspects we would need from him, especially run support.
    Hughes at 12 makes more sense than Kindle. His game is much more complete in every aspect.

    OL and DL making up nine out of the first ten picks? Baloney! This mock draft is amatuerish!

    What's NFL.com's past record been for predicting who we take with our 1st pick?

    Not to mention he doesn't have a QB going until 26?
    Even with the injuries, I think he has the right QB going first, but I don't think he makes it out of the Top 10.
    I also don't think Claussen makes it past 17 at the very latest.
    Very blind guessing IMO.

    And yet, NFL.com is paying him. Go figure.

    Then again, I recall going to the track, and seeing guy with all kind of charts and history of every horse in every race. It was quite impressive.

    Then, I saw an older lady betting birthdays. She won, the "expert" not so lucky.

    Who the hell knows? LOL
