One final thing on the Dolphins-Detroit trade situation. I’ve been told tonight by person familiar with what Lions are thinking that they are making plans for having the No. 5 overall selection tomorrow night — Miami’s first scheduled pick of the draft tomorrow.

Yeah, I figured they would to make sure the Chargers didn't get in front of them.

Still think it will be Herbert

From Rapport

 

Sources: The #Dolphins have called the teams in front of them for a possible trade up from No. 5 and are gauging the price to come up to No. 3 to potentially take an offensive tackle. We could see a run on tackles in the Top 10 like never before.

The Miami Herald reports the Lions are "planning" as if they will have the No. 5 overall pick in tomorrow evening's first round. 

Meaning, the Dolphins trade up with the Lions to No. 3 overall, likely to secure a quarterback. After weeks of rumor and misdirection, the Dolphins once again seem most likely to take Alabama's Tua Tagovailoa over Oregon's Justin Herbert, though no one seems to truly know. The Dolphins have played the coronavirus-affected rumor mill to perfection. This will not be the last Dolphins or Tua report you read between now and draft time.

The NFL Network mocked Wirfs to the Dolphins.  Want to get him ahead of Giants.  Does that mean Simmons or Okudah to Giants?

I don't see why they would need to move up to 3 to do that though. I guess they are worried about the Giants taking one. Is there 1 tackle that is head and shoulders above the top 3 or so?

I can see falling in love with Wirfs---Wills, however, is the best T in the draft.

    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
    • there is a 100 mile long list of NFL players and coaches going to bat and defending horrible play from teammates.   
    • In 6 games, we've only had 6 hurries??? ... that can't be accurate
