If the first 8 picks go the way of this mock (Claiborne, Kalil, Coples, and Reiff off the board), I think you have to take Brockers. The ONLY other choice (if you can't trade back) might be Jenkins.

Ingram is a good player, but I still see him as more of a 3-4 LB......but he MIGHT be in play.

I agree. OT wanters: too high for Martin and Adams. CB wanters: Too high for Jenkins and Kirkpatrick. DE wanters: A bit early for Upshaw or Ingram if you want them as a 4-3 DE (maybe not too early for 3-4 teams), and there are no OLBs or S worth a crack. Too early for DeCastro as well.

Brockers, however, might be a solid chip to play in seeking a trade (if you do not want Brockers). I hear NE would love him.

anyone else find it amusing that every single mock has the dolphins picking before us? The media has so little respect for the Panthers that they don't even give us a chance to win a 50/50 coin toss

i find it more amusing that anyone would look to this as a sign of some kind of bias against the panthers.

It kinda comes down to what we all know at this time. After Jacksonville, there are picks that will be valued all over the board. Jenkins at 9 or 17? Same with Still, Brockers, DeCastro and everyone else. Just doubt there will be a trade down scenario, so we will just have to like someone better at our pick and live with it.

Brockers would be my pick in this scenario also because of potential. Think Jenkins has reached his ceiling and we can get a good, not great CB in round 2.

Assuming its too early for any player mentioned is silly.I am guessing you are basing that opinion on mock drafts that you have seen.

Those mocks are never close to accurate outside of the top 5 or so. If its too early for them, then who do you think its not too early for? Do you see what I'm saying?

    • I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
