Talking Dolphins with Jorge Sedano
As many of you know, Jorge Sedano is one of the weekday hosts on 790 AM The Ticket. His show can be heard every weekday from 12 to 3. And he was nice enough to take a few minutes to answer some Dolphin questions for us.
What do you think of the Dolphins' moves in free agency? In particular, what are your thoughts on their move of signing Gibril Wilson to play the free safety position and pairing him with Yeremiah Bell at safety? And how do you feel about them signing Jake Grove and then trading Samson Satele? Do you think that's an upgrade at the center position?
Sedano: I love the Gibril Wilson signing. This guy can play both safety positions. He can cover, he's a ball hawk and most importantly... HE CAN HIT! With him & Bell roaming back there, Miami could have the best tandem of safeties in the league. I absolutely think Jake Grove is an upgrade with one caveat He needs to stay healthy. Which has to be some concern. I read a stat that claimed that the Raiders gained over 4 ypc over 65% of the time when they ran up the middle. That tells me The Tuna & company got their anchor.
What's your take on this whole Jason Taylor saga? Do you think there's honestly a chance that the Dolphins bring JT back?
Sedano: I don't think anything about it. It's business. Nothing more, nothing less. I do think there's a possibility of a reunion if Miami doesn't take a pass rusher in the first two rounds of the draft. If they don't he'll definitely be here in my opinion. If they do, then JT will be in New England.
Which draft prospect is most intriguing to you in terms of what they could add to this team?
Sedano: I love Hakeem Nicks. I think he's a faster, slightly smaller version of Anquan Boldin. He can take a hit, he has moves & he's got giddyup. With Chad Pennington at the helm you need a guy who can break tackles & get away from defense. He certainly can do that.
Do you expect the Dolphins to trade up or down on draft day? And, as hard as it is to really have any idea what this regime is thinking, who do you suspect, at this point, the Dolphins might be leaning towards with their 3 day one draft picks?
Sedano: I would be completely stunned if they traded up. At 25 you're better off trading down and acquiring more picks (assets). I can see them taking any combination of these positions. CB, WR, OLB/DE (Pass Rusher).
I want to thank Jorge for taking a few moments to give us his take on what the Dolphins have done and what they might do. I also have to send a big "thank you" to DolPhanDave - a member of this site and the blogger over at Peninsula is Mightier - SBN's Miami Heat blog. He's the guy who put this together for me.
As always, your thoughts below...

Hakeem Nicks
Several mock drafts I have looked at as well as comments by this reporter and other people think the Dolphins should go with Nicks. The problem with Nicks is his work ethic. We all heard about him gaining 12 to 14 pounds after the combine. In addition, Charley Casserly on NFL Network, said that he worked out last week for a team and after he ran 10 routes he was out of gas. I do not see Parcells drafting a guy who is out of shape, especially as a first round draft choice. Agree with Sedano about our draft needs. 1)Butler 2A) Robiskie 2B) Clint Sintim or Larry English.
The Regime will Motivate Nicks
I see the Fins taking Nicks & he will be in the best shape of his life with Sparano barking at him!!

I think they'll take Nicks too....
unless rey falls to us.
He would be the perfect complement to the receiving group and open it up for the run game and Ted Ginn..
he hurt his leg at the combine so it was hard for him to workout
so thats why he gained the weight

Quality Stuff
Once again, Matty I provides high quality information.. Sedano is great and I love to listen to his show when I can. Thanks for the info!

I don't think he has an idea how
we’ll draft if he thinks we’ll take Nicks, or any WR for that matter. However, he was dead on in his opinions of FA and the fact that trading up from 25 doesn’t really make much sense, especially since we have so many positions that need to get younger.

Sedano and Zas are the only hosts left on that station that actually talk sports......
I just effin tuned in…and because the Hawks bird was loose last night ARMANDO SALGERO is only talking about “What the worlds baddest bird is”…they even put up a damn poll….stupidity is a disease running through that station…Sedano is the man though.
He’s pretty much right on IMO here. I think Nicks is gonna be special…Grove is an upgrade if he’s healthy….all thats true
As far as us maybe having the best safety tandem…..i think thats a lil homerish…top 5-10 yea…but we dont have that Ed Reed or Polamalu.

Glad you guys enjoied the writeup
RZ- The station will be back on the rise…just give it some time. Steve White (program director) is working very hard to get quality show hosts back in place. I keep telling him that the ‘Dave the intern’ show would be a hit, but he isnt biting on that just yet lol.
FinsX- Thanks for the endorsement, but if anybody runs for Pres it should be Matty…I’ll be his Vice President. :o)

He calls the Braves games for FSN and Sports South
and occasionally does some ESPN stuff as well. We miss him at 790, but glad he’s doing so well.

I have a feeling they just mess around too much...
there are times to be funny…and there are times to do good business. they cant be quirky and stupid sometimes..i laugh my ass off…but entire shows on bullshit makes me wonder what the hell im listening too.
today was the last straw….armando for a mother effin week…giving us no insight…just gettin killed by callers and talking retarded…he cant oull it off and its dead radio. its beyond stupid that the director has taken over the morning show…he aint talent..hes the boss,,,get the hell off the radio you douchebag…this isnt ur basement. you fire sid and you have noone to put there. nightime at 790 is a complete waste of time as well…u got baseball games or baseball talk…and then some dude thats not local…lke in philly or something…
like i said sedano is good…zaslow is the man…rest of that station needs to be outta a job and then see how they wished they took it seriously. I actually have gone back to 790. Dependable Phins talk..half the time with Dan Marino….ex player host…not some jerkoffs that wana play games and talk about what they read on AOL NEWS…..and real talk not diahrea of the mouth unfunny hosts.

what's wrong with 560?
outside of Neil from 11-2, they have good football talk all day long it seems. Big O in the afternoon is good. DA at night is pretty solid, and they have Rose and Maddog and Bokamper talking Dolphins nonstop it seems. I listen to 560 or music, never really get to 790..

Nicks
Today I s/w Pat Kirwan and Tim Ryan on their “Moving the Chains” broadcast on Sirius Radio and Tim confirmed that he heard the same thing that I mentioned about Nicks workout last week. He ran 10 routes and was out of gas. If he is still having a problem with his hamstring then I take back what I said about him. However, if it is for another reason, then I do not see them drafting a guy who is out of shape. Parcells hates guys that are out of shape.
Tomorrow, NFL.com will have Kirwin’s final mock draft and he told me that his number one pick for us is Percy Harvin instead of Hakeem Nicks. I also asked him about his previous mock draft when he had us picking Ron Brace @ 44 and Fili Moala @ 56. In particular, why would the Fins draft two DT’s. His answer was that he believes Ron Brace will play the 5 technique and that Moala will play defensive end in our scheme. Furthermore, I said that we really need a cornerback and he said that he has changed his pick at 56 to Sean Smith. Stay tuned everyone.
lets tradeup with denver at 18 denver 20 detroit
25 pick & qb we picked up 2 years ago in 2nd round,why sit back i mean we have a qb we are not planing to use why not trade him get something for our side that we can leverage 4 picks. maybe use michel vick as a safty or nickel or dime cover…… if he gets reinstated in- vent maybe there is some draft picks for ricky or cobb.
