Video Time: Eric Berry anyone?

Reminds me of a young Jairus Byrd.

Tebow really sucks. WOW. Only problem with Berry is he’s from Univ. of Tenn.

it would take a syzygy of mistakes and poor judgement for the fins to get him. But, Al Davis did draft Heyward-Bey with the 7th pick last year, crazy things have happened.

I don’t want to even think it, he would fit us so well, it would be like serendipity, too good to be true, which it is/will be.

He looks like a player but I’ll stick with McClain or Graham.

too bad a lot of people need secondary upgrades that have earlier first rounders than us…

Our 12th position this draft year may be very BIG!! About 50% of the teams above us need QB’s and O-Line. The O-Line prospects in the draft are DEEP and there are a couple potentially good QB’s. I feel that this presents us a very real chance to land a Berry, or a Spiller (yeah I am on the wagon!) , or a McLain, or a McCoy. I strongly feel that there will end up being a real gem, possibly one of these very 4 left for us at 12!!!!

IF we break it down this way…….
11 teams must pick.
6 desperately need O-Line or QB so we are down to 5
5-McLain
4-McCoy
3-Spiller

2 picks left before us!!

Matty that is like more of a 33% chance!!!!!!

Of course, that probably has a .0000001% chance of happening. But I refuse not to dream!

Yea… I said it. Why am I the only one to realize just how overrated these TN players are ?
JASON ALLEN – EDDIE MOORE… how many flops do we need to draft from TN before someone wakes up ? NO……NO…….NO to eric Berry. thank GOD he will probably be gone when we draft… A Safety is just not that valuable in the order of your $$$ CAP aor olayer value. ORDER OF IMPORTANCE – Again – #1 Franchise QB, #2 RB….., #3 WR,,,,, #4 DE …(PASS RUSHER) #5 MLB… #6 OLB… (in a 3-4) # 7 NT #8 LT…. #9 CB…. #10 Center…
THAT’S 10 POSITIONS of major importance and SAFETY is not there… sure I HATE the GERBIL and he KILLED us last year… But how many games would we have won with a FRANCHISE WR ??? maybe 3 more with a Brandon marshall or Larry F. type… and Folks I bought the jersey and (cool aid) with Chad Henne – but the JURY is still out if he is a FRANCHISE QB…
THE TEMAS THAT WIN TITLES HAVE GREAT PASSING GAMES and GREAT OFFENSE…our “O” is average at best… Many of you know I want Mcclain or DEZ with the #1 pick – DEF player because its so messed up there right now…. but really based on my vlaue chart – WR is the more important position…
LAST NOTE – the RAVENS are not the same Defense first team that won the SB – even they are switching to a more “offense focused” team…
and there are a LOT of S. in the later rounds that have great careers…. Clemmons should be given a shot this year – he could be great with some coaching…
LB

sorry for the typos !

How does the rest of our offseason pan out if we draft Berry at #12? I say:

-Sign Dansby
-Round 2: Draft Hughes (or another pass-rusher)
-Round 3: Cam Thomas or Demaryius Thomas (depending on how low his stock goes)
-Round 4: Jimmy Graham

Not sure about the later rounds. But that’d be a dream come true

I’m talking about Vontae Davis.
Yeah, I already know about the posts to start Will Allen and move Vontae to FS.
The chances that Eric Berry falls to us at #12 are very slim.
The chances that Joe Haden 5-11 190 CB is there at #12 (and would be good value) is actually much higher.
For the record, I think that Vontae Davis > Will Allen and should start over the older player.
But if we take Joe Haden at #12 AND move Vontae Davis to Free Safety, that would give us a secondary for the future
that looks like
LCB Sean Smith 6-3 209
RCB Joe Haden 5-11 195
SS Chris Clemons 6-1 210
FS Vontae Davis 5-11 203
The secondary transforms from a weakness to a strength.
As much as many would like to dream of Eric Berry in the Dolphin secondary, it is not realistic. However, we could have Eric Berry Lite if we draft Joe Haden and IF Vontae can make a successful transition to FS.
Not just a pipe dream!

Actually I agree that Eric B. has talent and will be a good player – my point was that MIAMI has no luck with TN players, not that they are all bad…. appreciate the opposing points of view too. I ranked DE higher (only slightly) because a DE in any scheme, has more chances to get SACKS than any other position – even OLB in a 3-4 because OLB’s also have pass coverage responsibilities some of the time. TODAYS GAME is about pressure on the QB if you are talking defense. I would like others to tell me how HIGH they would rank the safety position – and others. Personally you could use this type of chart with a salary cap also – deciding where to spend your FA money.
My point was that a GREAT safety is a luxury, we can’t afford to draft in the 1st round – when we have so many holes like WR, MLB, OLB, and NT…
also – someone tell me why we SHOULDNT switch to a 4-3 with this teams current players….SHULA was much better at making the scheme fit the PLAYERS – . coaches and GM’s today just want to MAKE OVER a team in their own image – damn the problems it causes….

It really doesnt matter which one we get, Berry, McClain or Dez Bryant will be playmakers for years to come. FA will determaine a lot of things for us as well as the teams that pick in front of us. Lets just hope the front office pulls the trigger on at least 2 players in FA, for sure Dansby and maybe marshall or trade for Bouldin. We should have a lot of money freed up when we release, Porter, Gribel Wilson, Ted Ginn , dont think J. feguson will be back either and then theres Pennington, do we resign just for a backup or sign and trade to a team with a need for a good backup like the cards, Lots of possibilities. The future of the Dolphins look great

would be shocked if he’s there at 12 and wouldn’t think twice about taking him, the value would be too much to pass on, like vontae falling to us last yr.
