Just imagining what we would have to do to trade up to #3... still have PTSD from the last Ohio State first rounder we took
Neither do I Definitely beginning to think Jack will be there at 13 now with the knee issues, same with VH3 but they are saying Joseph likes his CB's bigger so I can't see us taking him Not going to be too happy with we trade up for a RB in such a deep RB draft
James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL 37s38 seconds ago #Dolphins waived Damarr Aultman, Tyler Davis, Robert Herron, Robert Thomas II and Terrell Manning, the team announced Thursday. What do you have to do in 2 days of OTAs to be cut? On a side note, reading about Gase's interaction at OTAs, I really like what he and the staff bring to the table. The coaches are the one phase I think we did pretty good in. FA, trades, and draft? I'm not as optimistic.
so are Ajayi and Phillips, most likely Bobby McCain could (imo, should) start in the nickel and Jamil Douglas might start too (though I hope not!)
FWIW Matthew Cannata @FinsInsider 1h1 hour ago If Dolphins miss out on CB today and tomorrow, don't rule out a trade for one on day 3. They've had discussions about Aqib Talib. Matthew Cannata@FinsInsider Jack Conklin is indeed in play with the 13th pick. Will Adam Gase get his way? Matthew Cannata @FinsInsider 1h1 hour ago With that said, I'm going with Ezekiel Elliot or Myles Jack as the Dolphins pick in round one. Matthew Cannata @FinsInsider 1h1 hour ago Dolphins didn't shy away from Parker and Ajayi, who both had injury concerns. They believe in their program. Won't shy away from Jack
If we take Conklin, do we push James inside or something? Or just let him sit behind Albert for a year and then he takes over at LT next season?
Wow! I didn't want another OL in the first, but holy fuck. 2nd best player in the draft IMO. Great job Tannenbaum
Stunning good luck for the Phins. Hoosier, wherever he is, hasn't been this confused since seeing another naked man.
Awesome pick So Tunsil LT, Albert RT and slides James to guard? Add pouncey in the middle and if only we could find a competent second guard....oh my
I'll roll the dice for potentially the top defensive player in the draft. To get Tunsil and Jack would be unbelievable
I'd be good with him, Fuller, or Howard. I think too many good players left to take a RB. Maybe Spence?
What analysts are saying on offensive tackle Laremy Tunsil, the Dolphins’ first-round pick: • NFL Net’s Mike Mayock: “He’s got Pro Bowl feet. His pass protection gives him huge upside as a Pro Bowl talent. I have some questions about his ability in the run game. It’s the perfect situation for a young tackle. He can start at right tackle [and eventually] kick to left tackle or move him right into left tackle.” • ESPN’s Mel Kiper: “He has all the talent in the world. He was the No. 1 player on the board for a reason. Kid has rare ability. Didn’t miss a beat when he came back from suspension [for taking impermissible benefits]. He’s had a variety of injuries but when he’s out there he has been a dominant presence at left tackle 95 percent of the time. I thought he got a little bored with the opposition. “When he’s on top of his game, he’s a consummate left tackle. Quickness, tremendous feet, the footwork he plays with. As a run blocker, he’s got to fire out a little more. “The drop [in the draft] had nothing to do with football ability. It had to do with durability – can he a play 16 game schedule? And will he take care of business off the field during the offseason? At one point, I thought he could go No. 1 if Tennessee would have kept the pick.” • ESPN’s Jon Gruden: “He has what you’re looking for. He’s light on his feet. He has a pass set; it just looks so easy for him for a big man. Ryan Tannehill has been sacked 184 times. Let’s challenge Tunsil. Get it right off the field and prove to all of us you can be a great player for the Dolphins.” • NFL Net’s Charley Casserly: “Tunsil becomes potentially the steal of the draft as well as the most scrutinized rookie this year.” • ESPN’s Louis Riddick: “You start to assess the risk versus the reward. If you look at their roster, Branden Albert is going to be 32 in November. This isn’t necessarily a luxury pick. This will be something that pays off down the road.” • ESPN’s Todd McShay: “Tunsil's ceiling is sky high. He has the natural ability to play at a Pro Bowl level for a long time.” • Pro Football Focus’ draft guide notes Tunsil “faced the toughest slate of edge rushers of anyone in the country and yielded” no sacks and just five pressures in 185 pass blocking snaps. PFF says Tunsil is "the cleanest tackle to come out of college in some time. Tunsil simply looks different than your average tackle in the NFL.” • CBS’ Dane Brugler: “On the field, Tunsil is a nimble big man with a rare athletic skill-set for the position, showing above average balance and flexibility to easily bend, handle speed and absorb power at the point of attack. He's not a perfect player, but his flaws are more nitpicking than true weaknesses and potential injuries are the only obstacles keeping Tunsil from being one of the better left tackles at the next level.”
