Willing to Trade Down?


Recommended Posts

With the Dolphins trading Tannehill to the Titans puts us in an interesting situation with Miami selection 17. 

You never know how this draft will sort its way out.  But if one of the decent QBs fall to #16 we could be in a position to trade our pick away and pick up an additional pick maybe even a 2020 1st rounder.

Would you be willing to trade down to a lower 20ish pick and get more picks?

What would you consider if you were Hurney?

Did I miss something?

 

Doesn't the Dolphins have the 13th pick?

Generally speaking since the draft is deep at our positions of need, trading down makes sense. However, if an elite DE is there you have to take him. 

I say we work with Cleveland to get Ogbah and then the pressure is really off and just take best available.

I don't think that a guy with 12.5 sacks over the past three years is going to do much to take away from our need for pass rushers.

Totally agree, but getting a guy that is a serviceable starter would keep us from having to reach in the first round if say 5-6 edge guys go before we pick. It's not likely but it is possible. 

I love Brian burns, but If he is the only top edge left does he fit our system? Also, I think Ferrell is overrated at 16 and rashan gary is a very boom or bust selection. Could be great, but hia production in college is mediocre for a guy with his athleticism. We need a sure thing. That's bosa, Allen, sweat and burns. 

Ferrell has some red flags as does Gary as first rounders and burns may not fit our scheme. Those first two are fine later in the first, imo.

I'd prefer to take Charles omeniure (sp?) If he's available in the 2nd round.

Depends.  Let's say we have 3 players on top of our board of relatively equal value---for example, Cody Ford (T), Brian Burns (DE/OLB), and Jachai Polite (DE/OLB).  Does not  matter how you  have these players rated--that would be missing the point.  Then yes, make  the trade.

Agree all three of those guys are great players but a little rich at 16 to me. Polite and burns may not be great fits at 4-3 end and Ford seems more a guard to me. I don't want to spend a 16 pick on a guard. If we knew he was a sure fire tackle then yes, draft him. Some risk though

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
