Excellent poll. This is all that matters. A playmaker, and we will have a chance at one of em.

 

trade down and grab eifert. pick up another 3rd and 6th.

 

1st vote!

Not that it matters. Miami isn't getting either of them.

 

Can't go wrong with either one. But I imagine teams would be going nuts trying to cover both Wallace and Austin due to their insane speeds. CP is great too. Both are going to be stars. I voted for Austin but honestly Patterson would be just as fine.

 

You comfortable entering the season with egnew and clay as our TE's? I'm not.
if we find a TE, then give me either austin or patterson.

 

if i had my choice, it'd be patterson. both are a bit of reach at 12 though. our pick is very problematic.

 

Ertz is about as close a prospect to Eifert as you are going to get; better to draft Ertz or Eifert (if he falls) in the 2R and get a sliding Star Lotulelei ("heart condition) or Chance Warmack (now that TEN got their OG in Levitre). Top 5 talents at #12; this is what I call value!

 

I have a real tough time seeing why Tavon Austin over Cordarrelle Patterson. Patterson moves exactly like Austin, is actually just as fast as Austin and I've verified that myself, and he's like 6 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier. No-brainer.

 

I voted Austin, because I see a complete football player superstar. It would pain me to no end to leave Patterson on the board and take Austin. But I'd have to roll like that.

 

austins size worries me. 5'8 175...

 

I cannot tell you how upset I am that there is no Michael Egnew option. This poll is incomplete!

 

To each their own, but that's nuts to me. If they moved significantly different that would be one thing. But Cordarrelle's ability to run with the football in his hands easily matches Tavon's. And he's just as fast on a pure speed basis. Yet he's like 6 inches taller and 40 lbs heavier and can pose a vertical threat to a defense more easily because of that height.

 

If by some act of God Cordarrelle is there at 12 Miami would be foolish not to take him. Looks like an absolute monster of a WR.

 

Read a tweet earlier that said that Tavon Austin hadnt missed a practice in his years in college and hasnt missed a game in 8 years. To me that is a tough player. With his talents opposite of Walalce we will dominate. I know in the past I said we should stay away from a wr at 12, but recently I have been thinking of Austin as a good pick at 12. Sure if we don't fill our CB needs in FAI much prefer a CB, but I would be ok with Austin

 

I don't think Ireland will select either on draft day. I think he'll look at other needs and wait until the 2nd round to pick a WR.

In any case, imo Patterson is the better player.

 

The man has it in his draft and still types this... And I agree. Cant see Austin at 12 ( and if the hype on this forum would carry Austin will go 1 which I cannot even begin to comprehend after watching tape). I vote Patterson. In a very bad comparison, Austin is Ted ginn jr as far as our dolphins are concerned. Patterson won't last to the 2nd. " Miami isn't getting either of them"

 

Do you expect Austin to go before 12? Or do you simply do not see Miami taking Austin if he is available? I see Patterson as likely gone before 12.

 

#MockTwo was all about what I would do, not all about what the Dolphins front office would do.

 

Patterson could go before 12. Austin will not. But Miami isn't taking either one, IMO.

 

I like Austin to run after catch ability, he be great in the slot and would work great with Mike Wallace. [they be a scary combo]

 

Patterson is just not gonna be there at 12.

 

Patterson is the better player also no way i would risk 12 on austin his size scares me long term

 

I think Patterson may have more potential in the long run, but right now, as we speak, Tavon Austin is the better player.

 

Not that I think your opinion is wrong, but is there any context behind it? Is it simply because we now have Wallace, we won't splash that position early and address other needs? Is there another position/player that you think will be specifically targeted?

I personally would love nothing more than Miami trading down with Minny to 23/25 and getting an extra pick/s. Use the extra pick/s to move from 2a into the first to drat 2/32 players in the draft. That could be quite a sweet deal, depending who's on the board.

 

So no way Patterson lasts? Come on. I count on u for enthusiasm.

On tape, I take Patterson any day of the week and twice on Saturdays only bcuz the phins play on Sundays. Don't think either one will go before 12. But Patterson, IMO, deserves to go before Austin. But y does common sense tell me it won't play out that way?

 

yes, i should have qualified that my opinion was based on projection in the NFL.

 

Why not though ? Better value on defense or OL? I'm pretty sure there will be. Philly signed Barwin, could that make it more likely they pass on Jordan, atleast causing a trickle down affect ? Ten signed levitre. I have a feeling we try like hell to trade up, back into the first for a stud like one of these two Wrs.... or a TE. But if the value player(s) that fall to #12 is a T,G,DT.. I would be happy with either cord or tavon there.

 

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2013/tracker#dt-tabs:dt-by-grade

Tavon is ranked #10 prospect and Cordarrelle #14 prospect. So both could go in top 12. But I am confident we will have a chance at one of these studs and we'll take it. (Poll is tied at 18, I love it)

 

I mean you just have to read the writing on the wall here. They've added Mike Wallace and they're trying to add Brandon Gibson. They're privately telling people they're envisioning 4-WR personnel sets with Wallace, Hartline, Gibson and Bess. They still like Rishard Matthews.

They're begging off this year's WRs class the same way they did last year's, when they didn't bother to take guys until the tail end of the draft when they knew it was a coin flip whether they get a guy that even makes the team (a team without very many good WRs, I might add). Is what it is.

 

As far as who might take Cordarrelle Patterson in the top 10, the team to keep an eye on is Cleveland at the 6th pick. Why?

Well, a couple of reasons. First, Mike Lombardi comes from the school of thought that places physical skills above the details at this point, and Cordarrelle is the most physically gifted receiver in this draft when you take into account his size, speed, and athleticism. Plus, Patterson would be an outstanding fit in Rob Chudzinski's and Norv Turner's Air Coryell offense. The pairing of Patterson and Gordon would be dynamite if Brandon Weeden figures things out.

The Bills and the Jets are also strong possibilities to take Patterson.

 

Patterson could last to 12. But the Dolphins won't take him.

 

As talented as these cats are, if I had money, I'd bet without a doubt that neither Patterson nor Austin go before 12. I'm convinced Ireland won't bite. I'm not even convinced Ireland had a wr in mind after Wallace until u knuckle heads continued the discussion.

 

Honestly if we draft either guy at 12 well be big winners. Wr is still top priority for me over OL and DB. We can more than adequately fill the other gaps with our two second rounders.

Theres really no wrong answer here. Now, making it happen is another story whatsoever. ..

 

Is patterson smart enough to get the playbook?

 

I would prefer they do not draft Austin or Patterson, personally. But If I had to choose between the two, I would pick Patterson.
