Now that the tenders have been placed on R.Brown and A.Fasano, my question is what would we do if by some strange and unexplicable circumstances arise and both players are plucked from our roster by other teams? We would then receive another 1st and 2nd round pick in this years draft. I am not sure where to start if this would take place, but I wouldn't be very mad having four picks in the first two rounds. I might do something like this: Sign Karlos Dansby as a FA 1a: CJ Spiller 1b: Brandon Spikes 2a: Brian Price or Cam Thomas 2b: Dexter McCluster 3: Jimmy Graham 4: Micah Johnson or AJ Edds 6a: Brandon Lang 6b: O'Brien Schofield 6c: Terrel Hudgins 7a: Joe Webb 7b: Nathan Overbay I know I am going to get killed for picking up CJ Spiller and Dexter McCluster, but losing Ronnie Brown is really taxing on our offense and I thought putting these two in the backfield in the Wildcat could be lethal and make up for losing R.Brown. Adding Jimmy Graham is a preference that I have had for a little while now and after seeing him catch the ball in the Senior Bowl and the combine I like him even more now. I think the combo of Brandon Spikes, Brian Price (at NT) and either Micah Johnson or AJ Edds could fix the problem in the middle of our defense. Combine this with the FA signing of Karlos Dansby to play at OLB and ILB (ILB on 3rd downs) and a mix of JT, Cam Wake, Brandon Lang, O'Brien Schofield and Charlie Anderson we should be good at the OLB position. What do you all think? How would you change it if we do end up losing R.Brown and A.Fasano?
I'm sorry, did that say 1b Brandon Spikes? But since we're in fantasy land how about: 1a Earl Thomas 1b Eversen Griffin 2a Arrelious Benn 2b Cam Thomas 3 Montario Hardesty 4 Thaddeus Gibson 6 Micah Johnson 6 Nathan Overbay 6 Ekom Udofia 7 Reggie Stephens
If they had 2 1st round picks, and didnt give the 12 up for Marshall.....ugh I quit at that point...I'd be a Jest fan... I'm almost thinking about quitting if they dont do it today...
I am not a huge supporter of Marshall. I like the kids talent level and we desperately need that kind of talent at the WR position in Miami, but I just don't see him staying out of trouble. I mean really he can't stay out of trouble in Denver what makes anyone think he is going to behave himself in Miami. The knock on him is he has trouble respecting women right???? What makes you think that he is going to be able to tolerate the rather confident and outspoken women of south beach? Perhaps the trifecta could change him, but I think it is too much of a risk considering he is only one strike away from a suspension. Not to mention the pending murder case taking place involving his cousin and some player (CB I believe) that was shot and killed.
Why do people still think Spikes is a 1st rounder? He may drop to the 3rd. There are so many good LB's in this draft class.
I love Ronnie, and hope he is back. Fasano, could take or leave him, but I'm leaning towards leave at this point. Put it this way, if we ended up w/ two ones and two twos in THIS draft (not to mention, one could maybe be used on Marshall if Tuna, Inc. deems it so), that would be a great thing, and we'd find a replacement for Ronnie. Love the guy, love his effort, but he's not THAT good to the point of being unreplaceable!
I am a little confused. Why has his stock dropped like you say? I haven't really heard that much negative info on him besides his speed. And like I said earlier Zach Thomas proved that speed is not everything at the ILB position. He simply has a niche for making plays. What about Spikes am I missing? I am curious to what Sean Weatherspoon's stock is valued at because I see them both valued fairly close to each other and Weatherspoon is not a sure thing to make it to our #43 pick.
By the way just noticed that there is a Draft forum and I think this probably belongs in that forum rather than here....don't know if someone has to send it over there or if I have to do that. A little help....from someone who knows???
IMO, he is too unathletic to be a 3 down MLB in the NFL. If wrong, I will admit it. I just do not see him going in the 1st 2 rounds with as deep of a draft as this is.
Do it then you un loyal scrub. Wr isnt as important as defense so giving up a 1st round pick would not help at all
Well your probably going to be disappointed then. Its not just about sending them a first round pick, its also the contract. Marshall is going to want top 5 money, somewhere in the range of 25 million guaranteed. I just don't see the FO doing it.
Interesting scenario. If we did lose Brown, I don't see them getting two backs that virtually do the same thing albeit one better probably. I see going defense probably with 12 and then coming back with a big back like a Ryan Matthews.
