Draft thread

Nope, you were right, OT.

 

I am going to be so happy if we can get Fautanu, but we are going to get a good player one way or the other. FINS UP!

 

Verse is gone.

 

Honestly, lots of good choices here, very little I would be mad or frustrated with.

 

And it just happened. Unless we trade back, we're either taking Quinyon Marshall or Terrion Arnold.

**BUT DON'T QUOTE ME ON THAT. I DON'T KNOW **** ABOUT ANY OF THIS**

 

Let's not discount the possibility of a reach.

 

Reach?! Have we ever, in our draft history, reached?

 

Fautanu's gone.

 

Noooooo

 

We just don't have that kind of luck.

 

CB is next or Thomas

 

That was fast. Chop Robinson?

 

By the way, it wouldn't be another NFL draft without the coverages going to commercial when the Dolphins pick.

 

It's cool. They went to a commercial during the NBA draft when Nikola Jokic was drafted.

 

Chop.

 

I'm good. We're better than we were 2 minutes ago.

 

Chop, I like it. Upside to be the best edge guy in the entire draft. He single handedly shut down the entire Michigan passing game to the point they literally didn't pass at all in the second half.

Let Weaver cook.

 

They must feel they can coach him up. Welcome to Miami, Chop

 

Kiper doesn't seem to think too highly of him. The guys on NFL Network were more complimentary about him. Time will tell.

 

Fautanu would have been the obvious pick there. I'm happy with the Robinson pick. If they are following the Ravens model on defense this is a great pick.

 

Pete Prisco's rapid grade on cbssports.com:

Chop Robinson EDGE, PSU - A
Height: 6-3, Weight: 254

I love this pick for Miami. He has the best first step in this draft. With a little coaching, he will become a dominant pass rusher. They can also move him around as a joker on their front. Love it. (Pete Prisco)

 

I wanted Barton or Dejean… if they were going edge, and since Verse was gone, Chop is a good pick.

 

We shouldn't have been focused on a position. BPA IMHO.

 

The stats/production weren't as high as with Latu or Turner, he needs coaching. But the raw athleticism is Cam Wakeish. Upside is through the roof. He's a guy you play in a rotation this year with the aim of taking over for Chubb in a year or two as the main guy. Also insurance against Chubb/Phillips injury. We should be excited and feel good. He will see the field a lot.

 

I'm not big on raw athleticism that needs coaching since our defensive coaching has been so crappy.

 

Seems like a good pick. Robinson wasn’t even on my radar so I’m a bit shocked and at a loss for words.

 

New staff man. Weaver and Austin Clark have development experience and success.

If it was still Fangio? Forget about it.

 

They have a new defensive coordinator who is a defensive line specialist. He made a bunch of no names and washed up vets into a dominant unit the past few years.

 

I'd sooner put stock into Ben Shapiro's knowledge of the female reproductive system then I would in Mel Kiper's draft knowledge.

 

BPA at a position of need. Some scouts compare Chop to Parsons. Chop is over 250lbs and runs a 4.5 40… and he’s only 21. I’m happy with the pick. They think edge is what we need (I think it was OL) and they got a good one.

 

Grier and McDonald both love the position. Just think, any defensive player needed to appeal to McDonald more than Worthy's speed lol. Tells us how they see him.

 

With who was off the board, I wanted Barton, Dejean, or Chop. I figured those were the Dolphins 3 biggest positional needs and those were the 3 best players left. I did like Verse more, and it sucked to see him picked 2 before the Dolphins, but Chop has great potential. We will see…

 

Chubb will most likely be gone after next season. I believe his contract is worked so we save a lot of money that way. Especially if Chop plays to his potential.
