what positions will the fins draft
Since it's even money that you and me have the idea as to who BP is going to draft #1 tomorrow as Mr. Ross, i don't see the point in guessing who they will draft, but i'm kind of curious as to what positions people thing they will draft and how many...
well they have Nine picks going into the draft here is my guess.
QB - they have Henne, Beck, & Pennington .... It's been no secret that they've tried to trade the duck since last camp. he's just not one of their guys... that said after Henne their isn't very much long term future there and they will need a developmental project but unless there is a trade i don't see a roster spot for a QB... chance of a QB being picked 20% (uless the duck is traded 50/50, or as i would argue the lame duck is traded (%5) then they will draft a QB)
my quess on qb's drafted - 0 -
RB - they have 4 if practice squad Lex is counted - R&R are in their last years and ronnie is one EBay the last time i checked. They draft a back or TWO every draft and i see this draft the sameway... if ronnies traded they will draft a second back this year. (chance of 1 being taken 80%)
my guess -1-
o-line - they have 4 starters inked for the next 3-5 years and one young player(thomas) who they hope will be the fifth.... that said they are very T H I N here and even thinner when you look at T reserves.... so if they drafted a guard and a tackle i wouldn't be surprised... but they are looking stricktly for reserves and developmental projects, so these picks will be in 5-7 range. (chance of 1 being taken 65%, chance of 2 30%)
my guess -1-
TE - just like the backs, the starters are signed for only this year and neither is a great run blocker, a skill this admin puts a premium on (just ask sampson)...so i think this is a key position for them, and i expect an early pick to be used here (maybe even a first) chance of 1 being taken 90%
my guess 1
WR - good core group on the team with a wide skill set... think they will blossom once henne takes over and the offense is able to take advantage of ginn's speed to open space. that said there aren't any guys who've shown to be good blockers and there is a serious lack of size in the group. chance of 1 being taken 100% chance of a 2nd being taken 20%....
my guess is 1 and it'll be much later then expected say pick 3-5.
D-line - youth was served last year, between the signing of starks and the draft 4 young guys were added, and these guys still believe that soliai could become something (see last year .... he was suspended 2 times .... they didnt cut him, which means they are trying to teach him) that said - the d-line was less than stellar at getting to the QB and these guys believe strongly in QB pressure... so if there is a pass rusher out there that'll get some pressure out of 3-4 end postion ... you can put him on the board... chance of 1 being taken 60%
my guess is 0
LB - holes, holes, holes and very few players locked up for the long term....I would argue that this is the teams most pressing need. if you look at the roster, does the team have any players who you can say are more than likely in the plans for 2011? CC - they signed to a 3 year deal only after he conceded big chunks of cash to stay in S Fla... Roth contract is up and i'd agrue is the teams best LB right now... porter is getting old and will likely become more of a pass rush specialist as the year moves on. AA is old and hardly what anyone would call a play maker as he does his job but doesn't wow anyone... Chance of 1 being drafted 100%, chance of 2 50%, chance of 3 %33
my guess is 2
secondary - the second biggest weakness on the team... unlike LB they do have some play makers back there, and maybe some youth, but there is very little depth and there are some really bad players on the roster (yes i do mean FA Green). so i see this as the position that will get the most focus of the triad. chance of drafting 1 - 100% chance of 2 85%, chance of 3 40%.
my guess is 2
special teamer
fb/k/p/slasher - special teams last year to be kind, were a work in progress. the good news is they did get better, the bad news is well ... they need to get better.my guess is they'll bring in a couple unrestricted FA to kick against the boys, but they'll draft a player to return kicks/punts. the other option is someone to run the wildcat... the great weakness of ronnie back there is that defenses or at least the good ones didn't respect ronnie's ability to throw... so i wouldn't be surprise to see a pat white type drafted or a kick returner or a FB to block/ bust wedges... chance of 1 drafted 45%
my guess is 1
so here is my guess for the draft
1 -RB, 1 o-line, 1-te, wr-1, lb-2, cb/s -2, & 1 special teamer...
and if they don't add the special teamer then go with 2 rb.
