Separate names with a comma.
So you're honestly saying that Manning didn't have an advantage playing with the first team all summer, going into the season as the starter and...
I love how so many people absolutely knew Cromartie was a sure thing and the guy we had to take at #16. I bet the Houston Texans boards are...
Explain this adjusted QB rating to me and how a difference of 3 points means anything significant. is it adjusted to account for a game in...
You don't see Randy Moss being faster than a guy who'll probably run a 4.6 or higher? Ok then...
I'm upset at the Manning comparison too. How can anyone compare Manning's 3 TDs, 12 turnovers, 11 sacks, and 4 losses in his first 4 games to...
To me, I'd rather draft the guys where all I'm worried about is how they'll fit in my 3-4 defense, west coast offense, or whatever I'm running,...
Very confused by this post. Mario Manningham couldn't possibly remind you of a taller Randy Moss, he's at most 6'0''. If you were referring to...
What's the success rate of character reclamation projects? The draft's enough of a crap shoot as-is, let alone when you start taking players with...
I understand what you're saying, but I disagree with your evaluations. Talib is overrated and choosing between him and Davis is easy, Davis is...
I don't think Davis is a reach at #32 and between Talib and Davis it's Davis every time, no question IMO.
Problem is, he's not even the best RB on his college team anymore and maybe not a better RB than his QB either. I find it funny that he said he...
Not many teams in the 20's need a TE. Dallas, San Diego, New York Giants, San Francisco, Jacksonville, Green Bay and Pittsburgh probably won't go...
No offense to my favorite player of all time and the reason I became a Miami fan (living in Chiefs territory), but Dan's not necessarily the best...
LT was a Giant before Parcells was coach. Keyshawn never hit a woman or his child. What does Jamal Lewis have to do with Parcells? Did Randy...
By the way, remember when we drafted a guy named Cecil Collins and there were numerous articles about how he'd turned his life around? How'd that...
Why roll the character dice on this guy when there's quite a few talented WRs with second/third round grades in this year's draft that don't have...
Here's a good article on Hardy: http://alumni.indiana.edu/publications/hoosierHappenings/2007_12.pdf Perhaps there was more to the story, but...
Sorry to hear you say that. I was still holding out hope he'd somehow slide to us in the 2nd (if we don't address WR in FA or via trade). Here's...
You just don't get it. Let some other team give him a second chance, instead let's spend our draft picks on players that don't have a history...
With David Lee on our staff, it will be interesting to see if we draft a Felton, Monk, etc. I know Bill/Jeff brought Lee on board due to how well...
You're right. To our knowledge he only assaulted his girlfriend and 1 year old son one time. To me, that's one time too many and he should be...
Every player in the draft has a chance of being "unspectacular". The point I was trying to make is, perhaps C. Long doesn't end up becoming an...
Won't argue with you on upside, Dorsey's could certainly be higher than Long's. Dorsey's floor is much lower though IMO. Whether this year's...
I understand and believe in everything above, which is why, from a philosophical perspective, I think Cam/Randy did the right thing last year when...
I do see a vast gulf of difference between the talent, production and potential of Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey and Vernon Gholston and Matt Ryan. I...
Most TV announcers talk up the players in the game they're calling, though I don't recall any saying Ryan was #1 worthy, which we'll have to agree...
The 3rd round is no longer on the first day of the draft, I guess I should've clarified what I meant. I'm quite sure when Bill and Jeff are...
And who are the ones collecting NFL checks that are saying he's a franchise QB? Who are the ones saying he should go #1? I've yet to see a name,...
Frankly, I see Long as a 3-4 DE, but Groh probably knows a little more about Long and how he'll transition to the NFL than I do. Just a little...
When you take a player you have ranked lower than several other players you have ranked higher and they all play a position of need, then you're...
Isn't TO's deal up in 2009 just like Roy's is? I think Dallas would love for Roy to replace TO after this season, which is what Roy is probably...
But you can't reach on a QB just because you need one. Plus, who says Long can't play OLB in a 3-4. Groh said that's where he envisions him at...
Every expert I've seen thus far doesn't have Ryan as one of the top 3 players in this draft and this simpleton fan completely agrees. Ryan's only...
I was with you until pick 5, then you completely missed IMO. 5 - Herm/Peterson said they're sticking with Croyle, though only they understand...
Bold is one word you could use to describe that mock, but unlikely is the word I'd choose. I find it hard to imagine a scenario where we don't...
A guy Al Groh says is the best player in college football and the 2nd best player he's ever coached is not going to be a longshot on a Bill...
Which professionals are you referring to? Most I've read have Ryan as the top QB, but they also say that he's not a franchise QB and not one of...
I get a kick out of anyone that thinks the head coach will have much to do with what we're going to do in the first round in this year's draft....
Out of RBs with 200+ carries, only Adrian Peterson and Fred Taylor had a higher YPC than Marion Barber's 4.8, which he's done the last 2 years....
Love the mock. I don't think Bryant or Monk are there for us at those spots, but I'd be happy if they were.
Obviously a lot will depend on how he performs at the Senior Bowl and how fast he runs at the combine. Right now, my non-expert guess is round 4...
We'll see what he does tomorrow night, because I think right now he's underrated by some of the experts like McShay. I prefer C. Long at #1, but...
Roy Williams is in the last year of his rookie contract, he's reportedly unhappy in Detroit and they are set at WR with Calvin Johnson, Furrey and...
With 4 of the first 64 picks, the more underclassmen the better for us! Agree w/ your comments - hopefully Smith goes in Rd 1, pushing someone...
Unless your dream involves Gholston blowing out his knee tomorrow night, he'll be long gone by 22. We'd better not trade down further than #6 if...
You haven't seen him play very much then, because it's nearly impossible to not come away impressed. He's been drawing double teams yet racking...
Good to see a Wanny quote in there... "He's the best defensive lineman that I've seen on tape. He's a playmaker. He does it all. He plays the...
Why do you think he can't play in a 3-4 well? Were the last three years as a 3-4 DE, having Al Groh say he's the 2nd best player he's ever...
That's a best case scenario draft if you replace Dorsey with Long or Gholston. I think Davis will be gone by 2b, so my mock had Rucker instead....
Cason pretty much shut down everyone all year, same as he's done since starting as a true freshman 4 years ago. In the NM game the entire...
I'd trade 34 year old JT for 26 year old Williams alone in a heartbeat. I think most would trade JT for a first round pick right now and we'd be...
Nice find!
Henne is only 6-2, so according to some he can't be a Parcells guy.
Not sure why Dolphins fans continue to want to trade picks for QBs that other teams are trying to replace. Haven't we learned anything from...
I think Miami takes a QB at some point in the 2008 draft, but probably not until day 2 (which happens to include the 3rd round now). Why would...
Long would more likely be our 3-4 DE, but anyways, I think you left out a few points: 1. Al Groh said Long is the 2nd best player he's ever...
I think a coach that was a proven winner at the college level gets a little more time than a guy that failed at the college level (yes I know,...
The point is, their front 7 isn't what's going to keep them from beating the Pats in the SB, it's their secondary. Why spend the #22 pick on JT...
No one would be dumb enough to count on Ricky for anything. Fool me once shame on you, fool me 5 times... and I'm a moron. As for JT, the...
That deal makes no sense for Dallas whatsoever. Even Wanny would know better than to take that deal (ok, maybe Wanny would do it, but you get my...
Certainly has better size than Mario, but his production paled in comparison. I'm not sure if anyone helped their draft stock more than he did...
By far the best game of his career, including one of the best catches you'll ever see on any level. That was a heck of a play.
It's the draft so anything's possible, but I'd put a lot of money on Chris being the better Long at the top of this draft. To me, an injury is...
I think that's what impressed me most about Chris Long yesterday. It seemed like he always diagnosed where the play was going immediately and put...
Jake Long is a dominant force in the running game for sure, but he's got major issues blocking speed rushers. Harvey got by him yesterday a few...
His first two series were disasters. Surely you know about the fumble for the TD, but his next series he threw 2 horrible < 5 yard passes that...
Perhaps our players should spend less time looking in the stands and more time figuring out how to win football games? It's their poor play that...
No, it's not hard to win over our fans. Just win! It's that simple. Miami puts a winning team on the field, no more paper bags. Play well, no...
How do you propose letting the Dolphins organization know you're unhappy with the product they're putting on the field? If you oppose what other...
Don't be surprised if we're nuts then. Ryan certainly isn't a clear cut choice for the #1 pick and not nearly as polished/accomplished/talented...
You have a very loose definition of the word "great" if you're using that term to describe what we've seen from Cameron and Beck thus far. I'm...
1. Perhaps it's the first club they reach for because it's true? From the near disaster at the end of the first half in Washington to the WTF...
I think it's time Miami stops making/justifying excuses and starts coming up with answers. IMO, Cameron doesn't give the team an edge with...
1. Penalties aren't killing us, but Cam's poor clock management field position decisions have. 2. Our pass blocking, dropped passes, and...
The main arguments for keeping Cameron that I've heard are: 1. Other coaches have stunk in their first year too, so maybe Cameron is going to be...
I'd agree with that, unless someone with mid first round talent falls to us in the 2nd. We certainly have more pressing needs than WR to look at...
Based on Parcells history and his character comments in his press conference, you have to wonder if some of Hardy's off the field issues (battery...
You listed a lot of things to give Mueller credit for, but what has Cam done so well as a head coach? From his repeated clock and field position...
There's an NFL rule that says a coach cannot accept a demotion to stay with his current team? I don't think so. Cam probably wouldn't accept a...
Obvious why Miami would love to make that deal, but why on earth would Atlanta?
Agreed. Not sure why every mock draft someone chimes in with "what about position XYZ?". This team has needs at QB, WR, TE, G, LT, NT, DE,...
I don't think he has a small frame, but he'll need to grow into his frame to have success blocking in the NFL. I'd rather have to develop his...
Good comments, I agree with a lot of them and several of your alternatives. Personally I think a #1 WR is a huge need for us, let alone a 3rd...
I don't think OSU Jenkins is worthy of #1 and both Jenkins should be gone in the first. That's why I was assuming they're out of the picture....
Might be right, but there's been prospects that have done a lot worse than anything Shirley's done and still been drafted.
The Chris Long pick makes a lot of sense and I believe that's the way we'll go unless Bill can't get a veteran QB, doesn't think Beck's the guy...
Agreed, but we have so many holes and only a few draft spots to fill them. Adibi in the second round sounds good to me.
Like I said, I'm not sure why the Kiper Jr's, McShay's, Mayock's, Wright's and all of the experts aren't listing Cason in their top 25-30 players....
Here's how this casual observer would like to see the draft unfolding for us at this point. Way too early for a mock? Yeah, but here it goes...
