We’ve got 24 hours to pound the table on who we want at 36 and 50. What are you thinking we need after adding Waddle and Phillips ? Some of the top names remaining; OL - Jenkins, Cosmi, Humphrey, Dickerson, Radunz, Eichenberg CB/Safety - Samuels Jr, Moehrig, Campbell, Holland WR - Marshall, Elijah Moore, Dyami Brown DT -Barmore Edge- Ojulari, Perkins, Basham Jr, Ossai. LB- Bolton, Owusu-Komoroah, Cox RB - Javonte Williams I predicted pre draft we could get a good O lineman at 36 and that remains true. But It would be tempting to double down on Edge if Ojulari is sitting there. Also I like the idea of Samuels Jr....Think he would be a great convert to safety in our defense.
Javonte Williams probably have to trade up to 36 but if they wait and miss him then pick Bolton or Pete Werner and Michael Carter at 50, unless Cushenberry falls to 50 and then yeah, do that.
I just cant understand a defensive minded coach that doesnt want to get a real run game. It literally goes against everything defensive coaches do.
Tell me which of those players have an injury history.... and then I can tell you who Miami has on their draft board.
I would still like to see another playmaker but OT should happen, then S or LB. Maybe Carter or Herbert at 81.
Please get J. Williams at 36 hope he's still there when we pick. Hope the Dolphins turn things up now, the 1st round felt really underwhelming for me...
If we get Javonte Williams, then I'll be happy, and will be interested in seeing what happens at #50, which could go any number of ways. If we miss out on him, or worse, pass on him should he be there at 36, then its going to be hard to stomach watching the rest of today, and I absolutely won't watch Saturday.
OL- Jenkins, Meinerz or Humphrey Edge- Basham WR- Marshall JR since we don’t have WR’s that stay healthy RB- Williams if available at 50. If not, go for Gainwell or Carter at 81
This. Williams would be the guy if he's not there then my 2nd choice at 36 would be Joker. Then grab the best Center on the board. Dickerson maybe?
I know this is completely irrational but I still have a bad taste in my mouth for Stanford OT’s after the s**t show that was Jonathan Martin.
A few ways to go starting the 2nd round- The obvious consensus would be to grab RB Williams out of NC. Tough, bruising back that gives a little of everything...some had him the #1 back in the class (not me, but he's definitely in that top-tier conversation). I could see us doubling down at edge by picking Ronnie Perkins. Another solid run-stuffer with a big motor and relentless pursuit. Basham would be another name that could fall into this slot. Few good LB prospects in this range as well. We could also go line here but I don't think there's a BPA that naturally fits. It's okay to overpay if there's someone you're in love with in the 2nd round (maybe Jenkins or Dickerson- both fit that bruiser mold. Could be Humphrey as well but I think he's there at 50). Finally, I'd love to see us draft Kyle Trask to backup Tua with the 2nd pick. He could possibly be a day-one starter, but for me it's the long-term potential since he's improved so much the past few seasons. Lock him in for 4 years if there's not any other names that wow us at #50. What I don't want to see in R2- CB, WR, DT
I won't be upset with Williams, obviously, but where it comes, I'm looking for us to land a stud IOL this draft - possibly two, if they fall. After that BPA. Safety looks like a challenge to find. There are a few decent LB's. We've taken on some risk with Phillips, and I understand why. Let's try to land as many solid prospects as we can now.
Ignoring positional need. Id say Asante Samuels, Ojulari, E. Moore and Dickerson (risky!) are the highest upside talents on the board. But some of those O lineman look like good safe picks too. Gut feeling says they go that way and play it safe at 36.
For those banging the table for E. Moore, question; doesn't the Waddle pick essentially negate the need for a slot WR? Or, is Waddle expected to play more on the outside?
This is a darn good looking list of players. My thoughts are this. If we could get Williams, I would honestly be happy with most names on this list.
Im going to assume they go Jenkins if he is there at 36 they could surprise me and go center. I know the dolphins like Holland a lot and wouldnt be surprised if thats the pick at 50. Unless they think he will slide to the 3rd round. I dont expect them to go rb at 36 they dont seem to value it.
BPA, but I'd feel a lot better if we stay investing in the O line. Burning a 2nd round pick on one isn't going to hurt my feelings at all. I personally want the O line to be a constant strength for us. Give whoever is playing QB the insulation that they need. The running game will prosper as well.
So torn on what to do here. I’d be happy with Marshall Jr, Williams, Basham, Ojulari, Meinerz, Humphrey. I feel like if we get another edge, in case Phillips is a bust or if not we have two beasts, plus a great C, this team is a contender.
