davehydesports I'm told the Dolphins entered draft loving T Menelik Watson. Question now is if they can get up to get him as he'll be gone by 54th pick.

Truth i dont know anything about him..What do you think about him?

I like the kid a lot. A little bit of an project since he was a basketball player at Marist 3 years ago.

But out of the OT's left after Fisher, Joeckel and Johnson, he and maybe Terron Armstead have the biggest upside at LT.

Great size and feet.

I was just going to say something about that.

Traditionally it would cost pick #82 but teams (other than Vikings) are using a modified draft value chart so Irealnd may have to give up less. A 4th round pick maybe?

The 2nd round starts off like this....

1 Jax (already drafted a T)
2 SF (don't need a T)
3 Phi (already drafted a T)
4 Detroit (REALLY NEED A T)

We would have to trade up with Philly to get him. They had better be damn sure about him otherwise I would use 54 on Albert.

Thank you.

Here's the question:

San Fran has too many picks this year. They are going to punt some of them to next year.

Would you send our #1 next year to San Fran for #34 (2nd pick in the 2nd round) to take Melenik Watson?

If I thought he could start at LT this year, I might make that trade.

Our 1st next year will likely be in the 20's. Watson will have a full year under his belt in our system before the player we'd take in that spot would even see the playbook.

We could then trade our 2nd for picks next year...possibly even a #1.

I think a 1st is too much. Our 2nd and a 3rd should easily get us to 34.

I wouldn't trade up for this guy. He is far from ready to step in at LT this year. If he can't, then what's the point?

Would you rather trade one of our 3rds for Albert, or give up a 3rd (essentially costing us two picks) to move up for an un-proven rookie project? I say trade for Albert (but not our 2nd)

How about we just stay at 54 and take Terron Armstead for 875k a year, for 4 years instead of 9 mil a year for Albert?

3-77 Robert Alford, CB
3-82 Gavin Escobar, TE

Works for me, but my question was based on the premise of moving up for Menelik Watson. If we can stay put and get a good OT at #54, i'll be sh*tting in tall cotton (my wife hates that cliche!)

Need CB, RB, and OL in 2-3

We better not ever ever trade next years #1 for anything. Bite your tounge!

**************************************

I don't have a (real) problem with giving up pick 54, but Miami has other options at OT. At this point, I would give up one of the 3rds and a 7th.

I am just not comfortable with having to pay Albert $9.8M per year. That is elite tackle money, and Albert definitely not elite!
