    Philosophy is to double up on three different positions of need, and get you excited as hell in the process.

    1) Luke Kuechly...great eyes, great feet, combined with very good athleticism and speed, put all that in front of Big Paul, throw Dansby and Burnett in the outside, and none of them will come off the field, and The chanting of Luuuuuuke will fill our Sunday's for ten years.

    2) Brandon Weeden...The natural..the opposite of everything mechanical a Qb can be..Great talent at a good price, and when you look thru that first round, I don't see much chance of any of those teams drafting a 29 year old in the first..Can come in and Lead a group of young Vets, can read pressure, and get the ball where it needs to go at warp speed, put his skillset in a fresh uptempo offense, and you have your own Tom Brady intelligent where your *** out offense.

    3) Mohammed Sanu/ Marvin Mcnutt..whichever one is available, Sanu is the longshot there, but if so, he would be my pick, Mcnutt has size, intelligence, and hands, also we should have some excellent intel on this player, former Qb so you might have some versatility with some different formations.

    3) Tank Carder...a fine linebacker, fast, As quick as any backer in the draft from recognition to impact, great demeanor, nasty, can drop, can blitz, is a baller.

    4) Russell Wilson...Yup, sure did, and proud of it, if Weeden goes earlier, than I take him at Two and not flinch...Such a precise Qb, it's all about angles that he takes in all facets of his game, never wastes motion, always knows when to tuck and run, always keeps his eyes downfield, and IMO, is capable of being the best playmaker amongst all the Qb's, I could go on and on about his perfection, but there's a whole thread on him..

    5) Devon Wylie...Three words...scary white boy...Literally, this dude makes people fear him in the open field, I've seen it, a lot, fear that is..he's the complete package at his size. So talented.

    6) Taylor Thompson..kids not really played the position, but is very gifted athletically, has excellent size and speed, and just has an air of confidence in him that makes you wanna take a chance..

    7) Cliff Harris..I studied two games specifically on this guy, one vrs Andrew Luck and the other Matt Barkley...dude Played well...will take chances because of ego and overconfidence, but hey, maybe being a late rounder will humble him

    3 positions of need, 2 Qb's, 2 linebackers, 2 receivers, this is what I would do.

    I'll take it but I'll swap out your QB's (because I think were reaching very desperate levels to think we can get a franchise QB out of those 2) because we got a very solid option at QB for now but we don't have a solid OL (52 sacks)

    So replace Weeden in the 2nd with OT Bobbie Massie and Wilson in the 4th with Senio Kelemete.

    We now have a right side that is a complete weakness as a strength with 2 athletic zone blocking options.

    ....and if Moore doesn't work out in a WCO...drop a load like the Redskins and move up next season ;p



    The other option is to drop the linebackers and go David DeCastro (and watch the Miami fanbase start Montreal style riots) and Zebrie Sanders at RT in the 3rd.

    I just cannot see any justification for picking 2 QBs in one draft. We have 2 adequate starters right now. We draft 1 QB hoping that he will be the future starter. anyone else that you draft will not be getting any snaps and will be harder to develop. With doubling up on the other positions, you can at least put in packages to where everyone can see the field and make an impact.

    Now that's a heck of a draft! Not sure they will all be there at those spots, but if they were...

    I'm starting to believe Weeden doesn't get past Cleveland's pick at #22.

    Or trade down.

    Miami quite frankly has a LOT of positions to fill out and could use the extra picks.

    Accept for a lack of TE LOVE that draft. You have an Ireland mask?....and perhaps a van?

    Had to choose tight end or receiver, and when I think of Hartline and Bess taking the field, I went receiver..I'll give Fasano and clay their chance.

    I think in that division, you wanna play hard nosed defense, run game, I expect them to go Richardson, and defender.

    I'd double up with Osweiler and Wilson. I think Osweiler has a chance to succeed just because he can make all the NFL throws and he seems very dedicated to improving himself and succeeding at the NFL level. I also see Wilson as a guy with great potential for success. Let them battle it out and see who wants it most.

    The thing I think most people forget when watching Osweiler is that he is raw in a lot of ways from lack of experience. However watching him I see a guy who isn't afraid of middle pressure and reads the defense pre-snap and helps make line adjustments. Plus he has the arm to stick the ball in wherever he wants.

    I'd also double with Weeden/Wilson but I don't think Weeden makes it to our second pick.
