Sadly burton doesn't have a real nfl position but he's an awesome utility guy. 6'3 225 lbs runs in the 4.59 range and not only has great hands but can throw block and rush the ball when needed.

Awesome op Bewbies. Miami is going to be staring down tackles and guards this year. Again. Also so many players with one year contracts we won't know their other places of need til week 14 or so. As it stands I think we try to lock up Brent grimes for 3 years he has been great for us.

He was a receiver. I think part of it is it just took this long to develop into a corner. He's fast and he has a short memory. If he gets burned he's right back the next play. He has a crazy number of passes defended. Our other corner Sean Smith used to be a receiver too.

The Chiefs secondary has better hands than the receiving corps and that isn't an embellishment.

:laffo: Sean Smith does not have good hands. At all. If he did he would have been all pro in Miami, evn though he gave up huge touchdowns ever so often. He dropped something like 7 INTs one season.

Who will Miami send to instant bust status by drafting them in the second round this year!? Let's see...

Tackle is a need. Guard is a need. Gotta start thinking about replacing our defensive line once they start getting checks from dan Snyder.

I think we draft a bust guard

Man you must work in procurement or something.

What NFL players sign are undoubtedly contracts. Breech of contracts are incredibly common everywhere you go and usually lead to amendments to the contract. There is probably an unbelievable amount of paperwork that goes into every transaction in the NFL and I don't envy the person who has to do them.

It's a very easy job. Trust me on this. At least when you do it for an NFL team or a player you're enjoying the subject matter. Try doing it for loving foreclosures and loan modifications.

And the NFL job pays like 120k a year

I hate being wrong about QB prospects. I'm usually dead on and the only blatant ones I've missed so far are Matt Ryan and Bradford. drat Ryan for being a frat boy and making me see red instead of the good QB.

We've become accustomed to assuming trading down = good thing because teams like the Patriots have been able to do it well.

In the sense they get lots of picks. Not really in terms of overall players. They whiff on the draft as much as anyone else, believe it or not.

Nobody thought he was so bad that Louis Murphy would be better than him at every phase of the game as rookies.

Actually I remember during the draft specifically Deion sanders (or cris carter maybe?) said "Oakland just picked a receiver who is better than their top 10 pick!"

I liked Murphy at Florida and thought he had a real shot. I liked him more than Riley cooper, who I DID like, so it's surprising to me he's doing so well compared to Murphy who can't beat out the Carolina receiving crew (well, mostly ted Ginn I suppose)

How does this sound:

-Draft Clowney first overall

-Trade this year's second- and third-round picks to Washington, sorely needing picks, for Kirk Cousins and their third round pick this year.

-Let's do the time warp agaaaaaaain. :getin:

EDIT: Cousins was Martin's QB at Michigan State, so that might improve his play as well. Goodness knows he needs it.

That'd be a great trade but the secondary trade likely flawed. I could see texans second rounder and their 4th for cousins. Washington would get their main value (the 33rd overall) and a really hard to say no extra pick in the 4th which is exactly what gms crave

Our best one is Koa Misi. We really have no reason to NOT put Dion Jordan at WOLB and get rid of Wheeler.

Wheeler is a great pass rusher but thats about it. Hes very aggressive vs the run but he's blocked too easily

Everything I have seen and read suggests he isn't going to stay. He said on a radio show he only wanted a one year deal with the Dolphins so he could show he was back to top form after his injury, so he is going to the highest bidder, and its likely going to be Oakland since they will have a poo poo ton of money to spend next year.

That was in response to Miami offering him a three year deal. His wife (his agent and cake designer as well) apparently is enamored with the Miami lifestyle and has a great relationship with the team and staff.

Maybe we can keep him for 3 years 24 million 14 guarantahahahahaha there's no way Oakland doesn't pay him 10 per

Most draft trades are made because the GMs are networked enough to know what the other teams are about to do. Whenever a team trades up to draft a player that is perceived to be a reach, it's almost certain that at least one other team was about to do the same thing.

I've heard that GMs start to get paranoid about their "diamond in the rough".

Maybe another tight end because Dickson sucks and this is Dallas Clark with another year on him:



Why not just keep Pitta?

A friend and I were discussing Miami and he wants Miami to go over OL, WR and Secondary. It's interesting. I would have never ever thought of Miami going after a WR but if the market is rich, you have to keep adding talent. It's what the Packers did when they had Jordy Nelson and Greg Jennings at the time. Miami has Hartline, Wallace, Gibson, and Matthews. I absolutely love that corps, to be honest, because of what they each bring to the table.

If Tannehill can shore up the deep ball and actually make use of Wallace being 5 yards open behind a safety, then holy moly.

Isn't there some friction between Soliai and the front office? Or at least between his agent and them? I thought there was some bitching this year.

Ireland has proven to make the right decisions with regard to keeping specific defenders. I don't think Soliai will play outside of Miami.

He's fantastic at pass disruption as well. Swatting arms, getting in proper passing lanes... Baltimore and buffalo games he had plays that directly led to turnovers, one of which should have been the play of the game (hit flaccos arm, pass went 10 yards short of it's target, pick six by jones)
