I guess you could say he's a fan... of "high" reps.

I'll give the draft podcast a listen. Love listening to pods as a fellow podcaster, especially one about the Dolphins!

New England Patriots 11-5 (4-2 division) Miami Dolphins 10-6 (3-3 division) Buffalo Bills 9-7 (3-3 division) New York Jets 7-9 (2-4 division)

Get Drew Rosenhaus on speed-dial. Evan Mathis needs to be a Phin.

Jarvis Landry is Hines Ward-esque. He's better off as your No. 2 WR. Parker's upside is far greater, and I expect him to be the featured wide...

"Didn't we already tell you not to leave your gum wrappers lying around on the field!?!"

Looks like the offensive line is struggling in camp... http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0cn2uaVvc1qkekq9o1_400.gif EDIT: Can't seem to get...

I attended training camp last year, and while it was like sitting in a 450 degree oven, it was a good time. If I didn't live about 12 hours away,...

Just because they are smart does not automatically make them "nerds."

It is interesting to see how these insiders think. While I agree with some, others baffle me. To me, it just shows some of the mishaps these guys...

Technically, I'd say no. I believe the offensive line is the bigger key for success. We're all painfully aware of the struggle there -- especially...

I kind of have a major issue with Carson Palmer ahead of Ryan Tannehill. Like, a MAJOR issue. I actually had a podcast earlier this week where we...

So, as long as you emulate the Oregon offense in the NFL...

Mariota at 5?!? [IMG]

Stats are not EVERYTHING, but they're one of the few factors in judging a quarterback's worth. They, essentially, symbolize a player's impact on...

Joe Flacco has not led Baltimore to playoff appearances. Thanks to the teams around him during his first few years, he has gotten away with...

@Clark Kent Too long to quote, but you make solid, logical points. But I think you overlook a few things... - Regarding his soft division, that's...

The statement means he earns too much praise for his one playoff run -- ala Eli Manning. Otherwise, Flacco has been pretty average and has relied...

Well, this is based on performance and skill set. Not necessarily how they'll perform for their specific team.

Depends. If they're just walking by, probably nothing. Just a mental note of, "Nice. That's cool." (Especially considering I no longer live in...

Agreed with your second sentiment. Eli lower, huh? Man, I thought I was low on him.

So you have him above the likes of Newton and Matt Ryan?

They're close. I figured I may catch flak for that, but his playoff runs have overrated him. Considering Tanny's leg and his likelihood to improve...

What?

I live near Atlanta... there's no way Dolphins fans can be worse than Falcons fans. For crying out loud, the team had to rely on fake crowd noise!!

I am surprised Bullygate hasn't received some more attention thus far on this thread.

That 18 year old needs to go join NFL Network. He'd be the best analyst there.

Let's be real. The Dolphins have the most loyal following of the Miami sports teams, but it's still largely fair-weathered. There's simply more...

Loved the pick before and after the draft, but let's not get carried away yet. Let's see him do it during a game.

Unfortunately, the only decent football I've ever witnessed the Dolphins play was in 2008 when they made the playoffs. I'm made fun of for being a...

Conception.

Carolina at 7?! I'd love to hear that explanation. Pittsburgh, Dallas, Detroit, and San Diego all deserve to be a little higher. Number 10 sounds...

Yeah... :pointlol: Maybe I just wanted to be different and get more attention. Almost too much action going on over there, if you know what I mean...

I think it was a good move for both sides. I expect Tannehill to play well this year, so the price tag would have been higher next year. It's...

His play better than Tannehill's, though?

A sad fact indeed.

I think Brady is a different breed, though. He's the type who will use this as motivation rather than whine about it. Tiger Woods fits that mold,...

The cheating did not alone propel them into Super Bowls. I'm sure New England did some of these things to try to gain a competitive advantage, and...

I enjoyed listening. I'll try to keep up with it as much as I can. I'm starting to do podcasts for my website, so I can relate to what you're doing.

I think you're blinded by your bias. Cheating alone does not win you a Super Bowl. That's asinine. How much do you think slightly deflating a...

So you're telling me the ONLY reason the Pats won was because they cheated? The fact that they had one of the greatest coaches of all time, Bill...

The Patriots are a great team. You simply can't refute the winning and statistics. Although, I wouldn't title them as an "all-time great team"...

That may be a little extreme. If it was a half year or full year, then you may have a case. This doesn't quite wreak of the Saints' situation...

Phew. :knucks: Didn't want to get in the way of the NFL's new "condemn anyone to hell" mindset in order to make up for past mistakes.

Probably. Goes 0-4 with Garoppolo at helm, and Brady comes back and doesn't lose a game. Wouldn't shock me a bit.

For a split second, I thought that was Mike Wallace (flashbacks to him being #11). Then I realized, "Wait, he can't make that catch..." That's...

I was under the impression that it just came out. Maybe I'm behind, though...

Certainly no silver lining. Only useful information is that this refutes the idea that Collins killed her because she was pregnant with his baby.

La'el Collins not the father... Per Josina Anderson... Breaking: I've been notified by representatives of OT La'el Collins that his paternity...

I'd say he's worth whatever else Miami has left. I understand your thinking, but those other teams have to have an interest in him, too.

Wow. Tennessee has really done a good job.

Anyone up for La'el Collins? I think it would be a fantastic move. Little to no risk at this point. Although, he must have been more involved than...

Oops, haha. Failed attempt.

I'm totally stoked Miami STOLE him in round five. Exactly what the team needed to complement Lamar Miller. Hopefully his medical checks out, but I...

Very surprised he didn't get drafted. He would be a very good signing, too.

At least we got one Kevin White.

WOW, Miami is very active early. I guess it wanted to make up for not drafting a linebacker during the draft, huh? Many of these guys were...

Tony Lippett, WR, MSU

That one made me jump in excitement!

Mike Hull or Jay Ajayi?

I guess me. I get into this stuff, haha. :lol:

Not a bad pick, but nothing that makes me jump up in excitement.

In the case that you do care, here's a running list of my opinions and analysis of day 3's picks:...

Stinks to miss out on Jake Ryan. I'd be perfectly content with Jay Ajayi. He's fallen way too far.

The Jets are killing this draft. The AFC East is going to be stacked this year.

Of course the Patriots take Tre' Jackson three picks before Miami. Jackson would have been a nice addition for the Dolphins - a probable starter...

Cannot believe Jaelen Strong is still available. I thought he'd go VERY early second round at worst.

Stoked about adding DeVante Parker - an elite prospect - without having to trade up. Miami can now trade back in the second round if it wishes to...

Agreed here. I brought up the question because I saw a beat writer raise the question on Twitter. I think it's a solid core, but there's still...

That's why I felt it was necessary to come away with an elite prospect - one of the top three players - at wide receiver. Miami needed an elite...

Would be shocked if it isn't DeVante Parker.

I'll be on here, but you can also check out my up to the minute draft grades here:...

Seems to be the opinion most Dolphins fans hold. Very fair. The only reason I can see Miami willing to trade up is its desire to add an elite...

Better scheme fit as a natural WCO type of receiver. I also think Cooper is simply higher on their board. Safer prospect who you know will not...

Yes, obviously he can still play football. I wouldn't say he's a "very good receiver," though. He'll be decent - good enough to be a contributor....

That is what I believed, as well. Plus, he's only under a two year contract. It's not as if he's the future of the position. He's strictly for...

I'm well aware that White/Cooper will not fall to 14. I wasn't suggesting that; a trade up would have to be made. Your second paragraph is an...

Shelton would be the best option at 14, so I would select him unless Miami were to receive a great trade-back deal. A defensive line composed of...

Kenny Stills stats: 63 rec, 931 yards, 3 TD's Mike Wallace stats: 67 rec, 862 yards, 10 TD's While I understand the notion that Stills is cheaper...

Technically, I would say NE had three star players (Brady, Gronk, Revis), all who arguably the best players at their position. I certainly hope...

Makes sense. The trade I suggested adds up points-wise, but if Miami were to have to give up much more than that, I'm not for the trade-up. Again,...

I suppose we'll just have to agree to disagree about Rishard Matthews. He has some talent, but I don't want to see an offense where he's listed as...

What if Jennings, Stills, or Landry were to get injured? Do we want the Phins rolling out Matthews and having to rely on him? Also, we're talking...

It's not the knee that scares me with Gurley - it's his inability to stay healthy in all aspects. Many forget his ankle injury from his sophomore...

I have my reservations about Gurley... Why not draft a receiver round one and add Jennings (that settles WR fantastically), draft a guard in round...

I don't know the man personally, so I can't say Pouncey is wrong. I simply go off what I see and what I've heard from other sources. You can't...

I'm happy to lock down Pouncey for the next five years to start rebuilding the interior offensive line. The price is certainly a but hefty, but...

It simply depends on who is available when the Dolphins are up to select at #14. If the likes of DeVante Parker, Trae Waynes, Ereck Flowers, Danny...

Well, yes, of course it would pend on that. I think if Miami wants him, he'll be here if the price is right.

I'd much rather have Greg Jennings. He has more in the tank and doesn't come with the injury risk. Welker is a shell of a shell of his former...

His hands, though... His hands.... Gotta be able to catch the ball as a receiver; also, does he really fit the offense well? Seems like all raw...

Fair enough. I hate to compare players to Adrian Peterson, though. He's just such a freak that few, if any, can really relate. I rely on the...

Hmmm. Interesting. I would hate to have to give a second rounder next year if that is in fact correct. I feel like that package of a 4th and 2016...

So they'd suggest you probably need a 2016 3rd rounder?

Better scenario: - Trade up to #9 with New York. Miami gives #14, 2015 4th round pick, and 2016 4th round pick. Dolphins select Amari Cooper, WR,...

He had an injury, not really an injury history like Todd Gurley's. AP obviously deserves credit, though. He's been able to bounce back unlike...

I'm all for getting the most value for your picks. That's why I think #14 is a tricky spot for Miami. It looks like WR would be the ideal for...

No, I meant that as Gurley would miss games during the season simply off in-season injuries. I do expect him to be healthy by the start of this year.

Perfectly fine by me. Only knock I really have for Strong is that I don't see huge upside. Many compare him to Marques Colston, who certainly fits...

I'm fine with the Dolphins staying at 14 and selecting DeVante Parker or trading back to the early 20's, recouping a third rounder, and selecting...

I see five receivers in this draft who have the upside to be a team's top receiver - Amari Cooper, Kevin White, DeVante Parker, Jaelan Strong, and...

Maybe I should have been more clear; I'm not technically suggesting Miami should draft Gordon at #14. Moreso, I'm making the argument that he...

I'm a fan of Andre Ellington, but he's no Melvin Gordon. They simply aren't on the same level. Physically, Ellington sits at 5'9, 199 pounds....

@DolphinGreg -- Good write-up. I see what you're saying and agree with you for the most part. I believe you're undervaluing Gordon's ability to be...

I agree with you here on both Rowe and Ryan. I just hope they don't plan on Ryan being their only choice at linebacker. I like him, but I think...

Injury history. He's missed games for numerous injuries: ankle, thigh, and then the ACL tear. In his freshman year, he missed one game....

Of course they can, but we can use past history and logic to predict the future. Players who have had issues staying healthy always continue to...

Is Todd Gurley for 7 games > Melvin Gordon for 16 games?

Injury-ridden players usually remain injury-ridden. I'm wary. Why not Melvin Gordon instead?

Yes, I would certainly take Shelton. Can you imagine that defensive line? WOW. Brady may retire on the spot. Gurley is a tough one for me. While...

Yeah, I'd be shocked if Danny Shelton is available.

Trading down is a great idea in theory, but Miami will need a trade-down partner. What prospect available at 14 will enthrall a team so that it...

I think draft picks - especially mid-rounders - are often overvalued. The odds of the team actually nailing that pick are low. If you can use that...

I'd be perfectly content with that. Move up to #9 and give up #14, 4th rounder, and 2016 4th rounder. Stephone Anthony in the second round to...

IDEALLY, I'd like to see a trade down to the early 20s and pick up a third rounder. Then, take Jaelan Strong (WR) in the first and Stephone...

Well, Cecil Shorts is out of the equation now. Signed a two year deal with Houston.

Haha. I was waiting for someone to point that out. I do agree, but I think Billy Turner will do well, and another guard/depth can be found in FA...

I meant more as a stop-gap, one or two year option. I wouldn't expect him to be at the top of his game for the next 4 or 5.

No, not a bonafide #1 receiver but certainly a great contributor and solid #2/3. I'd take him over the more overrated Bowe and Crabtree every day...

Cecil Shorts would be a nice addition. He'd fit the offense well, comes relatively cheap, and is a proven NFL receiver. I'd prefer to stay away...

Agreed. Just noting how he was complaining about playing in Miami - now he's in a worse situation. Be careful what you wish for.

Doesn't look like he's on the Dolphins' radar. Lots of interest from other teams; I may be wrong, though. That would be a nice surprise.

[IMG]

Hmmm. Maybe the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

At this point... maybe sign Cecil Shorts, retain Charles Clay, and then grab a receiver in the 1st or 2nd? Personally, I wouldn't feel comfortable...

Going to have to look to add a legitimate #1 WR for sure now. Looks like WR in round one is back in play. Any way DGB falls to round two for the...

Agree. I know relieving his cap number is a plus, but I would have liked to see something a bit more substantial. Let's face it, a 5th rounder...

...and WR just became a possibility for the first round pick again.

Hey, if you just end that with [/ QUOTE] (without the space), it will work. The backslash will essentially "end" the quote.

Seems legit.

Uh-oh.

He would have to restructure to make it worth it in my eyes. That cap hit is too much for any back nowadays, especially one of his age and mileage.

I'm just not sure a team will give up a proven player that will be a difference-maker for Miami. The only interest as of now seems to be coming...

Yeah, I thought he was overrated coming out of the draft. I never bought the Randy Moss comparisons; he never struck me as a future dominant...

Adrian Peterson's cap hit for 2015 is 12,750,000. I may be in the minority here, but I don't want to take on that contract - especially...

When the alternative is to simply cut Wallace, then being able to acquire a talent like Patterson is a win. Cordarrelle adds that element of speed...

It's not like his talent has suddenly disappeared within the past two years. His quarterbacks haven't exactly been stellar, either - Ponder,...

Patterson is a first-round talent. You're not going to find a player like him in the sixth round. Supposedly, he just hasn't acquired a grasp of...

Vikings interested? Ok. Mike Wallace and a 6th rounder for Cordarrelle Patterson. I know they're attempting to trade the former Volunteer. He...

I would LOVE to add Jordan Cameron to the offense - if the deal is right. Hopefully they'll give him a low base salary ($4-5 million) with low...

Why does everyone just think the verdict is out on Wallace already? The Dolphins should be trying to trade Mike Wallace - that's just doing their...

Do you think Jaelan Strong would have to be drafted at #14 for the Dolphins to secure him? I've seen differing opinions from mock drafts; I can...

I think Gordon would compliment Miller fine. I don't think the size or running style of the compliment is vitally important. I'd rather draft a...

That's gonna be tough to pull off.

Although it would be considered a "luxury pick," I certainly wouldn't mind him at all. Dude can flat out ball, and pass-rushers are valuable in...

I'd be perfectly content with that plan. I agree with the original poster that I prefer Gordon over Gurley, though. I simply don't trust his health...

To be a good team in the NFL, you have to hit in the draft. We all, unfortunately, are very aware of that as it hits pretty close to home. In my...

I'm not really sure what my opinion on the possibility is yet. I certainly wouldn't mind signing Suh, and I wouldn't mind signing Odrick. Perhaps...

Ok, I was just making sure you didn't expect him to propel Miami into a contender on his lonesome. He is a very good play, but I think there's...

I really did love Wilson coming out. I just knew he had "it." I was hoping Miami would draft him in round three instead of taking Tannnehill in...

I do love the ability to play one's entire life. The short game is the one thing that transfers with age (especially since you can simply play at...

They'd be able to do it if they thought he was worth it. I believe they're thinking he's not worth the cost, though. Just wouldn't be smart for...

Golf is my sport of choice. I love it. It's a family tradition and true bonding experience for us. My brother currently plays collegiately, and...

Considering the Dolphins didn't even make the playoffs last year, it's pretty hard to say one player (especially a DT) transforms them in to a...

If the Dolphins paid Earl Mitchell 4 year, $16 million, how would Odrick's contract not be worth more? I feel like $6 million per year for Odrick...

Wouldn't it be smarter to simply re-sign Odrick for $6-7 million per year to get a better return on your interest? You know Odrick will fit into...

Keep Wallace and cut him next year if the situation doesn't improve. This year, save money by cutting the overpaid Brian Hartline and Brandon...

I agree with this for the most part. It would make more sense to sign an OG and CB in FA (considering Miami already has possible replacements in...

I'd feel pretty crappy going into the offseason with a WR core of Jarvis Landry, Brian Hartline (who should be cut), Brandon Gibson (who should be...

I like Strong. He seems to possess the ability to do a little bit of everything, he's pro-ready, and has production at the college level (granted...

While I do agree that it's important to draft players who fit your system (so they can reach their full potential), I still crave for a receiver...

Why not a guy like Reshad Greene if we're talking about "system fit"?

I don't see a FS or LB worth taking at 14. At this point, a WR or DT seem to be the most valuable. I'd rather see an OG through FA instead of...

Yes, I edited that after I realized the typo. He certainly possesses crazy upside if he has the speed and can get over the character concerns....

I am intrigued by Green-Beckham's talent, but do you think he has the speed to be a stud outside of the red zone?

I agree that Hartline's contract needs to go. His pay certainly didn't equate to his productivity, whether you want to claim it was because he...

What do you like more about White?

I'm not sure I can really answer this question.... I would have to say my fandom for the Miami Dolphins, Miami Heat, and FSU football are all...

I can't possibly see how the Dolphins are not better than last year..... 1) The only notable losses are Paul Soliai, Chris Clemons, and Nolan...

I give it a B- My favorite pick of the draft was Jarvis Landry. I was really upset that trading back caused the Phins to miss out on Allen...
