1. Dre Kirkpatrick
2. Mark Barron
both guys have size and both guys are extremely physical. From the videos I watched, it seems like every passing play either one or both of these guys are around the ball. I see Kirkpatrick more as a FS than a CB in the NFL, but I think he will be able to play both positions incredibly well. He reminds me of a bigger Malcolm Jenkins. Also, I think we may even be able to trade down in the 1st a few spots and still be able to grab Kirkpatrick, because I think he will last til around 15 or so.
Barron would be able to take over Bell within a couple of seasons. A lot of you hate Reshad Jones. Kirkpatrick has the ability to come in and start at FS right away imo. These guys could really bring what we need to our secondary...ballhawking ability.
Or we could even keep Kirkpatrick at CB opposite of Vontae and have a solid trio and be able to move SS24 around to different positions. I think it would give us so many options.
I love these Bama guys.

I would rather draft Courtney Upshaw at #1 to place opposite of Cameron Wake and Markelle Martin at #2 to play free safety. I understand the need for some secondary upgrades, but I wouldn't invest both of our first two picks there.
I am hoping we offer Dashon Goldson or Michael Griffin a contract to play in Miami though.SCall13, miamiron, Stitches and 1 other person like this. -
we need a kick *** wr like Megatron but i would be cool with a defensive end or kirkpatrick.
I still want Brandon Weeden because he has potential to be a quick learner andwhy cant Marino come down to Miami and do what John Elway will do in the offseason. (which is will work with Tebow.
I am ok if we went tightend , or defensive end , Weeden in rd 2 , de / linbacker Richetti Jones or wr.
or we ought to but we wont and that is trade all our picks this year for Luck and give them Hartline and Daniel Thomas ( ok wishful thinking ) -
I don't like Upshaw as much as most people. He just doesn't impress me all that much. I think he has a lot of talent and could be solid in the NFL, but I'd rather go after someone like Brandon Jenkins in the 2nd and take a DB or RT in the 1st round. I love Weeden and Osweiler as potential later round QB prospects. I like our current WR corps. Marshall is still a dominant player imo.
I really think Kirkpatrick and Barron are gonna be special players. Especially Barron. -

The defense the Dolphins have right now is good enough for the Dolphins to make the playoffs. It is the offense which needs the help to get this team to another level. So what I would love to see is the Dolphins trade their first and second round this year, plus their first round picks in 2013 and 2014 to the Rams to take RG3 with this pick.
The 2012 draft should be totally committed to the offense. It is going to take at least three more years to build this team into a legitimate playoff contender, so the Dolphins will have at least two drafts after the 2012 draft to concentrate on the defensive side of the ball.
In three years RG3 will be one of the premier QB's in the NFL and the Dolphins should be ready to go on a long run, in regards to being a playoff team. If the Rams are willing to make this trade with the Dolphins, Ireland should jump at the chance to grab RG3, who will be a serious upgrade at the most important position on a football team. -
btw, Matt Moore isn't a terrible option entering next season if we can get some protection.gunn34 likes this. -

Now, if we did something like:
-Trade down and take Barron later in the 1st, pick up another 2nd
-Use both 2nds for a TE and OT (ie. Dwayne Allen/Coby Fleener/Orson Charles and Mike Adams/Matt Reynolds/Zebrie Sanders)
-Then use our 3rd and 4th round picks on a QB (Osweiler/Weeden/Wilson) and some pass rush help maybe
I think we have a lot of options, but I'd honestly rather really upgrade our secondary by taking two big time players early and looking at the offensive talent available in FA and later in the draft. We need to start making plays on defense and we need to start forcing some turnovers. We were 25th in pass yards/game and only had 16 defensive INT...5 of them came from Odrick, Starks, Dansby, and Burnett. -

Just want to make sure I understand what you are saying. In getting Griffin we would still be 3 or so years away from playoff contention, correct. And you want to mortgage the next 3 years drafts (or at least 1st round picks in those years) and upgrade the defense with later round picks in the next 3 years. Not sure I get that.
Here's what I'm saying. If you think you can win as early as next year with this team (and by win, I mean the Super Bowl), you move up and get Griffin. Whatever it takes. If you think you have a shot to be AFC East / Wild Card contenders, MAYBE you go get him if you think he helps you immediately. If you feel this team is far away and at least 3 years away, I see no reason in mortgaging future draft picks for Griffin. Just add to what you have and over the next year or two, take a shot and move up to get your QB. QB's don't need 3 years to develop, especially the elite ones. -
What are the chances that Blackmon drops to 8/9? I have read he'll be going anywhere from 2-15, but would be a nice pick-up I think. Of course, that then could also make Weedon more attractive in the 3rd (2nd?) as they already have the chemistry together I guess.

Funny...Kirkpatrick just got arrested for weed possession.

I am beginning to think that both Luck and RG3 are going to be out of our reach.
First, the Dolts will be drafting Luck. It's pretty obvious how things went down in Indy. Irsay is ready to move on from the Manning era. If Manning is healthy, I don't see him there next year....not with a new coaching staff and Luck staring at him every day...
The next best option is RG3, but we pick at best 8th. However, Cleveland, Wash and Jax likely would be in the game for RG3 and pick ahead of us. Cleveland has the resources to move up easier than any of the rest of the RG3 wanna haves. There is no guarantee that the Rams or TB wouldn't be interested, even tho both have guys in place. What it would probably take is at least 4 picks in the first or second round to get that #2 overall... 1st and 2nd this year, 1st next two yrs...I just don't see a new HC wanting to give that much up. Of course, the rumors about us wanting to trade up will undoubtedly be rampant from here on out.
Now, Ireland has been fairly successful in identifying good FA talent. Can we draw the right guys here with a new coach and the circus that Ross has helped create around this organization ?? I don't know...I don't see it... Now, let me be clear, I'm not against that option, I just don't think it's in the cards for Fin fans.... -
If no RGIII, drop and take Jeffrey and best Playmaker available in the 2nd. If you can't drop in the 1st, take anyone who can cover Gronkowski. Then drop in the second and take Ganaway.

Well SI/NFL.com is saying Cleveland wants to trade up to #2.
May be early but i'm sure they will get him if they choose to over us. It's just what happens. That's if both Cleveland and Miami want to trade up, there's also a good chance we won't even make an attempt. -
Draft well where we are and let the season come to us. If we suck again we can make a move to get a quarterback in a much stronger quarterback draft.texanphinatic likes this. -
If we can not get the QB this year, why not try to trade our #1 for a #1 next year plus what ever it should cost. Then we might be in the position to move up if we get the chance next year. NE has made a mint trading this year for next and we are always somewhat jealous for this. They had to start some where, and we need to also.

If we went that route, CB and S, I'd take Barron in the 1st, make him the FS, then hope for Chase Minnifield to make it to our 2nd rounder. Chase has the pedigree. His dad Frank was a fine CB for many years in Cleveland. -

I never said anything about trading away the Dolphins 2nd round picks in 2013 and 2014. To me, giving up one second round pick this season and two number one picks the following two years to pick up a talent like RG3 is well worth it. -
-
Here's what I'd like to see:
Round #1 - Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa or Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
Round #2 - Dwayne Allen, TE, Clemson or Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford -
I would love for us to move up a spot or two and go for Morris claireborn then with the second grab Barron then third grab fleener
