Dion Jordan top pick

[stinkyfish]

They didn't need to trade up for this guy. They made some good moves up to now but I think they just made a big draft day mistake.

[Pappy13]

They could, I have heard Odrick trade rumors for a while now though. I know Philly really likes him

Don't forget that Miami lost Tony McDaniel and Soliai and Starks won't be around forever. I think Odrick still has value to Miami backing up Soliai and Starks and playing end on run downs. Move Jordan to the line on passing downs and move Odrick inside where he rushes QB's better than Soliai and Starks.

Don't forget that Miami lost Tony McDaniel

They replaced McDaniel with Vaughn Martin out from SD when they signed him

[JVides]

I was hoping this kid would be our pick.  I'm partial to tall lanky defensive ends/rush linebackers...I fully expected to have to deal with an O-Line pick so I am doubly stoked.

Could also be insurance in case Starks makes good on his hold out threat.

[MikeO]

Could also be insurance in case Starks makes good on his hold out threat.

1) He said he wasn't going to hold out, he just won't do "voluntary" workouts, only mandatory ones and he said he will be at training camp on time. He was at the Uniform revealing tonight. and that wasn't mandatory by any means. Starks isn't holding out

2) Under the new CBA nobody can hold out. well they can be they would go broke by about day 3 of all the hefty fines. Holding out is no longer a realistic option for players

Gotta admit, this is pretty impressive. I see him taking a year to really get going, but I think he'll pay dividends this year.

After watching some tape on him the most impressive thing about him is his versatility. He can play anywhere on the field. Inside, outside, on the line, off the line. Hell they had him lined up across WR's. You never knew what was his responsibility on any given play. He's just as likely to drop into coverage as rush the passer. I do see a lot of the versatility that Jason Taylor had, although he's still awfully raw in my humble opinion, but that means he has plenty of upside.

I'm ok with this pick. I really hate giving up the 2nd for him, but I don't think they overpaid to move up into the 3rd overall position. My worst nightmare I thought was coming true when they moved up to third I thought to get Lane Johnson. That would have been an awful decision as I don't see anything special about Johnson, he's just a good tackle that happened to have been in a draft where there were few elite players. At least Jordan has the potential to be elite even if it might be a few years before that happens.

But I also gotta admit I am not in favor of giving the other 2nd round pick for Alberts now unless they get the Davone Bess trade done and can move back up into the 2nd round somehow. There are still a lot of good players out there to be drafted, Miami doesn't need to come away from this draft with only 1 pick in the first 2 rounds after having 3 when the draft started.

Give Dion #99!

Give Tannehill #13!

Please, stop.

[Pappy13]

Give Tannehill #13!

Tannehill doesn't look anything like Marino.

[Spider-Dan]

I'm ok with this pick. I really hate giving up the 2nd for him, but I don't think they overpaid to move up into the 3rd overall position.

OAK, frankly, got raped.

Value of 3rd overall pick is 2200 points.  MIA gave them 1200+480 = 1680 points.  That's between a #5 and a #6.

[Landshark]

They didn't need to trade up for this guy. They made some good moves up to now but I think they just made a big draft day mistake.

After thinking long and hard about this, I have to agree.  Although Jordan does fill a need, there were plenty of edge rushers out there that could've been had at the 12th spot or lower. 

If this guy turns out to be a bust, Ireland is done.

[Spider-Dan]

Ireland is making moves like his job depends on it.  As he should be.

If MIA doesn't either a) win the division or b) win a wild card game, Ireland is done after this season.  And depending on who comes in to replace him, Philbin could be done too.

[MikeO]

If this guy turns out to be a bust, Ireland is done.

ha ha ha, we have been hearing Ireland is done for years yet he is still standing. Ireland is done if the team loses, not whether a draft picks turns out to be good over the next 3 years!

[CF DolFan]

Give Tannehill #13!

Please, stop.

#13 is retired and so is #12. The only other retired number is #39. #99 is fair game for anyone who wants to wear it as is #54

WOW! Raiders caught a break because they got the guy they wanted at 12 and picked up a 2nd rounder

Truly a trade last night where everyone wins. Miami gets there man. Oakland gets there guy and a pick.
