I am not against taking a step back to get a star quarterback. Problem is this draft does not have a star prospect coming out. If there was the Titans' would be cashin in like the Rams did when RG3 came out with Andrew Luck. Last year teams tried to trade up but the Bucs and Titans had none of it. Reason? Two potential star prospects came out. Unfortunately the likes of Wentz, Goff, and co are in

I don't think we'll draft a QB in the first round. Tannehill is not the only reason we've not been above .500 or made the play offs. There are a lot of reasons why we've not been above .500 or made the play offs, and to be honest, Tannehill is the least of our problems. If we solidify the O-Line, bring in a RB, and improve the defense, we'll win more games and Tannehill is good enough to be the Q

First issue with trading down is there has to be a team willing to trade up for our #13 pick and give us enough extra picks to warrant trading down. Is there a team that will want to move up from late in the round? Perhaps, but we can't bet anything on that happening. As for the "we have too many holes to draft a RB". I agree on the fact we have a lot of holes to address, but if Ell
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

If Elliot is available at #13 then I think we should take him. He is a very talented every down running back. He has excellent size and athleticism. He can block, catch and make plays with the ball in his hands. In Gase's system this guy could be a big addition to this football team. I know people say running backs are dime a dozen, but look at the impact that Todd Gurly had on the Rams. Gran

I would rather have the group we have acquired. Don't get me wrong I liked what Vernon did for us, but he was inconsistent at times and at the price he went for I would not have wanted us to sign him. Brent Grimes was let go because he refused to take a pay cut, he's in his thirties now so not the biggest loss. Shelby was nice depth, but again nothing that is irreplaceable. The main player I

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

I liked the idea of bringing CJ in, but there are other backs in free agency and the draft that we could target. For starters we could give Ajayi a more features role, his performance in college show a capable every down back. Damien Williams is capable of carrying the ball or catching the ball. So I'm confident in them two being names on our depth chart. At that point we could look at a back in
Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

Mario could be a good addition because he should be used to rush the quarterback, which is his strength, compared to how he was used by Rex Ryan last season when he had to drop into coverage. Maxwell could be a good addition because in Philly he was asked to be a shutdown corner in man coverage. His success in Seattle came from playing in zone coverage, so if that's the system we run, then he

I wouldn't be to surprised if they decide to match this offer. At an average of $4.5 million a year that seems fair value for a back with the talent of CJ Anderson. He might not have got to that next level last season as a featured back, but he came on strong at the end of the season and was a big factor in them getting to the Super Bowl and winning it. Though hopefully for us they don't matc

I think our fans are disappointed that we draft young talent and let them walk away for nothing, while pursuing the splashy free agency and/or trade approach that has become common under Stephen Ross' ownership of the team. That is not to say this approach cannot work, but by throwing tons of cash at players we are always having to make sacrifices to get under the cap, and to create any kind of f

Forum: Miami Dolphins Civilized Discussion

It is always disappointing when young talent leaves. In some ways that is why I look to teams like the Carolina Panthers and think, yeah, I wish the Dolphins were like that. A team that draft well and extend the talent they want to keep as part of their core going forwards. When you look at their defense that made the Super Bowl they had drafted seven or eight of their starting defense, and offen
