Trade Scenarios - OLBs, WRs & C

I've been thinking about this lately and what I've arrived at is the notion that the Dolphins are loaded with trade bait. I'm not personally saying they should do any of these trades (except the case of unloading one to two OLBs for high value because of the inflated market).

I think these are all possible. In fact... I daresay one will happen (other than the Samson rumors, which already exist).

Outside Linebacker

With all the new teams going to a 3-4 scheme there will be high demmand for guys that can play OLB in a 3-4. Preferrably guys that have experience.

The Phins are loaded with warm bodies (now with coaching) and even a couple of blue chip prospects.

Matt Roth, Charlie Anderson and Quentin Moses are all prime trade material. Roth in particular could bring a late first day or early second day pick from a team trying to convert.

Moses too, could fetch somethin in the 4th to 5th round level, as the kid seems to be perpetually on the upside collum and the current regime seems to at least see something (perhaps only a fith round pick!) in him, which will intrigue teams.

With Cameron Wake on board and the potential addition of someone in the draft the Phins have the room to trade one or two. IMO Roth would have the most return in a trade. Face it: They ain't resigning him.



Wide Receiver


This will be scandalous. But...

Trade Davone Bess or Greg Camarillo? They won't do it, but with a logjam at the speedy slot receiver position they have a lot of value stuck in one spot. With Camarillo coming back off an injury I don't think this will happen.

But maybe in a year. At some point one of them will be leaving the team either via FA or trade. I'm big fans of both so I can't say I want this.

Trade Ernest Wilford to the Raiders. If they're that dumb. Since they're that dumb.

Trade Ted Ginn? Before you throw something at me let it be said that I like Ginn. He's showing signs of having some (for lack of a bettter word) moxy. I liked the aggressiveness he showed later in the season, particularly agains the Jets. But, if the Phins are trageting a WR with the first two picks then unloading Ginn for a solid draft pick might not be crazy. Think Kenny Britt, Greg Camarillo, Davone Bess and Brandon London.

Face it. The Phins lack a no. 1 receiver. They have some of the best no. 2 and 3 guys around, but not a no. 1.

Center

I don't even need to explain this one.

 

Again... Just talking ideas here. Who would you trade and for what? If at all.

Eh? Eh?

I would trade Ernest Wilford to the Raiders for some discounted Warren Sapp jerseys. That’s just me though.

If a LB is traded

look for it to be J.Porter. Last year of contract, IF he plays to near to last year he’ll price himself out of a job in Miami. IF IF we get a Mathews/Cushing and don’t count out a second high pick LB I.E. Bartin/Sintim/Kruger Porter could fetch a 1st next year a second for sure and I am of the trade a year early rather then a year late type of guy :) Roth could get traded though he fits in long range plans alot better then Porter either at current spot or DE rotator with Merling and Langford but with contract expiring it might be time to trade him. I do not think WR will be drafted on day one unless it is in 3rd(Murphy/USC WR) and even in 3rd round I don’t see it happening. I expect Defense to rule our draft

25th pick - Clay Mathews LB USC
44th pick - Alphonso Smith cb Wake Forest
56th pick - Clint Sintim LB Virginia
86th pick - Fili Moala DT USC

Porter Signed A 5-Year Deal

He’s got three more years to play in Miami including 2009.

I don’t think he’d fetch a first either, though maybe.

I don’t like Cushing or Mathews. I see Derek Smith feebleness in both. They produced midland (that’s being kind) stats and you don’t draft midland in the first round. I think they’re classic workout warriors. But that’s just my little old opinion.

Hmmm I thought

Porter was on last year or in the least any remaining yrs were opition yrs shrugs my bad!

I think you might be right about Cushings but Mathews is the guy I want I think he is going to be something special shrugs

25th pick - Clay Mathews LB USC
44th pick - Alphonso Smith cb Wake Forest
56th pick - Clint Sintim LB Virginia
86th pick - Fili Moala DT USC

I Agree

Matthews is pretty polished. Cushing is going to burn someone though.

Just one man's opinion.....

It seems to

me that the Trifecta does very well in the Draft, but some of their Free agent aquisitions are suspect, anyone else get that feeling. Are we still on track for a 15-18 player turn-over this year?

From what happened last year...

I think we are in for some more erasing and rewriting of the roster. I think it will be less this year, but once they get a week into camp you’ll see some people let go I imagine. It seems they are more concerned with the bottom of the roster right now, than going out and picking up an all pro athlete.

25th pick - LB Clint Sintim
44th pick - CB Sean Smith
56th pick - QB Pat White

Ginn“s limited upside is more valuable for us

than a mediocre draft pick. The league doesnt think much of Ginn, specially the teams that have played against him. They see him as a number 2 WR at best and would give no more than a 3rd for him. Kenny Britt for Ted Ginn is a dream, 99 out of 100 people would take Britt.

I think we get cool points for...

Working with Ginn and dealing with Cam’s awesome drafting skills. He’s not the average #1 receiver but he’s coming into his 3rd year, I think we’ll see some fireworks from Ginn this year. I’m lookin’ for the Phinsider’s own Brandon London to earn a spot in the starting lineup this year too.

25th pick - LB Clint Sintim
44th pick - CB Sean Smith

Ginn has shown flashes

And he has the speed to stretch the field. I think We need him. He Is part of the reason that Bess and Camarillo can get so open. If Bess and Camarillo were our top 2 recievers they wouldn’t do nearly as well. Neither of them are a deep threat, therefore the defense can concentrate on the short game and hunt them down.
