Probably worth a 7th to have some depth for ferguson and he plays de in the 3-4 they say.
Seems to signal they have little confidence in Solai, and / or don't really want to spend the top picks on a DT unless someone really good falls in their lap (ie not going to make it a igher priority than other needs).
He's been a backup thus far so says the press, with good size and agility in a 3-4. Has had some injury issues in the pas ... but is young at 24.
anyone who's played in the nfl for a season or 2 is worth a 7th--most 7th rounders don't make it out of training camp--I never heard of the guy but for a 7th it doesn't matter
He was injured 50% of the time in Jacksonville. And from one quick look at the Jags board, the impression I get is that he was mediocre and provided roster depth for them on paper only. They're happy to get an extra draft pick.
Is it a good deal for us? I'll trust Trifecta to make that decision. I can't complain losing a 7th rounder, but this guy wasn't even drafted. He was undrafted. I don't see how we couldn't pick up a young, healthy guy for free ourselves, rather than trading away a pick. But maybe they see some potential there.
Plus, trading away the later draft picks makes it harder for us to bundle picks ourselves to trade for a good player, or trade up in the draft.
Wait a minute...we have THREE picks in round 7, I didn't realize that. So we have nothing to lose. I wonder if it's the early one or not.
Parcells likes huge players, he got one, and the guy will either warm the bench with his injuries and get cut from the team, or turn out to be another gem that Trifecta dug up for about zero cost.
All I can say is that with all these big guys that Parcells is bringing into Miami, we should have a domed stadium. Weather is a little hard on the big guys in August.

That would be giving away our home field advantage. The weather is a LOT harder on visiting teams in the early part of the season who aren't used to S. FL climate.
TURF is terrible for lineman. Oh wait we could use the new MARLINS stadium and play on CLAY half the year........NOT DOLPHIN STADIUM or whatever you wanna call it is a special place. (2 world series champs)
That's true, natural grass is easier on their body parts. I heard the vote for the marlins stadium went through. So eventually, they'll leave and the Dolphins won't have to play on the infield during baseball season. Whoo hoo.
Usually yth rounders are throwaways anyways... they rarely make the roster, and if this guy has starting potential and has stuck around this long in the NFL,he is definitely worth a 7th.
It sounds like his major downfall is his injury history... but again a 7th round pick is usually VERY unlikely to contribute, so would you rather risk having that guy on IR, with the possibility of him being a contributor... or would you rather take a guy who is more than likely not going to have the talent to make it in the NFL.
I think it's funny how we consider 7th rounders to be throw aways. Remember when the draft was 12 rounds? Heck, players like Richard Dent were drafted in the 12th round and there are lots of players that never get drafted that go on to become great players. Wasn't Jerry Rice a 7th? I still think this was a good trade though.
That's why there was a question mark after the Jerry Rice comment. It means I am not sure. Thank you for clearing it up for me. My point is, that I don't think any pick is considered a throw away pick. I think there is less of a chance of that pick making it in the NFL, but not a throw away! Plenty of picks in the 7th and later rounds in the past have gone on to be great or even just good soid players in the NFL. So, I don't consider them to be throw aways. That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it!
are you kidding me? yes the man is worth a 7th round especialy when you got 3 to use, any man over 6'7 300 plus with our training program will be a solid DT, in our system by means of stuffing the run, thats when the 3'4 d does it allows our playmaking LB'S the ability to collapse the pocket, anyways yes BIG YOUNG EXPERIANCED and oh yeah jacksonville? i mean how good is there program, just because a guy cant succeed in one system might mean he's a beast in another, look at jason taylor? total failure as a redskin, but as a dolphin, magic i love sparano i think he has the FUEL AND FIRE to get anyone to give it everything. so welcome to the team to beat brother now help us kick ass and chew gum.
