2019 Draft Day Discussion

[bsmooth]

I'm sure Wilkins will be a heck of a player, but I'm disappointed that the Dolphins didn't take Drew Lock since he was available. IMO Lock is going to be a star in the NFL, and thinking Miami is going to be miraculously in the #1 draft position next year is too pessimistic.  I hope the Raiders take Lock with one of their remaining picks because if he falls to the Patriots we could be regretting this for the next 15 years.

Next year will many more QB options than this year's class. The Phins will in the running for a QB next draft.

We're going to get another very good player in the 2nd round.  I'm surprised to see a lot of 1st round talent still available. 

Ideally, I want any of these guys in the 2nd:

D.K. Metcalf, WR, Ole Miss
Jawaan Taylor, OT, Florida
Cody Ford, OT, Oklahoma
Greedy Williams, CB, LSU
Byron Murphy, CB, Washington
Greg Little, OT, Ole Miss
Zach Allen, DE, Boston College

After reflection I have to say I love our first pick more and not just because he’s going to be a great player. It means Chris Grier has a plan and is sticking to it and not constantly changing based on shiny things distracting him. In the past I do think we would have jumped on Haskins although that was never our plan.

It really seems like we’ve moved past the immediate gratification descisions that have doomed our team for the last 20 years. Kudos to Grier for having a vision and working towards that goal!!

Excellent pick last night for Miami...Wilkins is going to be an impact player from day one.

Now...if Miami can snag either D.K. Metcalf, Cody Ford, Greedy Williams or Trayvon Mullen in round two, Miami will be golden.

^You like Mullen over Murphy?

Stroke ... how much college football do you watch or do you wait until before the draft to research players?

How is Jawaan Taylor still on the board?

No chance he is there when we pick again but we should still be able to get a quality player.

[Tenshot13]

I was hearing that Taylor has his fair share of issues, and a lot of his previous draft status was the media blowing smoke.

Great pick by the Dolphins solid team leader in college and great athleticism.  Will be an anchor for that DL for years to come, plus a great personality.  Two years of enjoying the 1st pick in MIA

I watch almost as much college football as NFL during the season (3-4 games per week). I go a little crazy once the season ends, literally going down positional lists and digging up film highlights on all the primary positions (no FB, P, K or LS). I got through the top-20 at each position (that had 20 viable prospects) before this year's draft.

^You like Mullen over Murphy?

I like them both...but I like Mullen's chances of being the better pro. I like Greedy Williams' chances to be the best of the three though.

Dolphins draft before NE.  If he is still there at 48 Mia should take him, if they don’t, and he is still there at 56 I would love to see him be Bradys understudy.

Dolphins on the clock and DK metcalf is available. I’d love to see that pick up, but it’s not as practical as a big ugly O lineman.

[EDGECRUSHER]

I'd take DK Metcalf but that Center is available. So, I think we are taking him instead.

[EDGECRUSHER]

We traded with New Orleans and move back to 62. That's a huge fall with some good talent available, so I hope we got something good in return. I don't see it yet.

Are you Effin kidding me
