my offseason dolphins mock!
First things first lets hope a brand spanking new cba gets announced before the deadline..which i believe it will. alright folks in this article which i call "my offseason mock" i will talk about our main needs and what we could and should possibly due this offseason. now we already know what our FO as well as coaches want for this team the upcoming season TO BE MORE EXPLOSIVE. well we took a first step in doing that by hiring a new young brashy offensive coordinator in brian daboll he came with some question marks but i believe in the guy. am gonna try to hit the points where we're in most need and hopefully you guys will give me some feedback with what you think.
FREE AGENCY
Aas far as free agency goes i believe there are a few players that we should do whatever it takes to get because these can becom key contributors to our time and i believe they will make a huge difference if obtained.
TE-ZACH MILLER - yes he was tendered by the raiders but once the new cba is done that will more then likely not be the case at all meaning he will be an unrestricted free agent. so why do i think we should get him? simple the guy is explosive he's caught at least 56 passes each of the last three years and is an elite TE in this league. the former 2nd round pick 36th overall to be exact has been extremely productive in his tenure in oakland. anthony fasano is limited when it comes to big plays but whith miller on the other side we could have a dual threat better then the pats have. and remember what david martin did for us while he was hear well miller will do that x10 we need this cat he's gonna really help us in an area of need and playmaking.
RB-DeANGELLO WILLIAMS- well this is a no brainer to be honest we lost both ronnie and rickie to free agency this year but its ok because they were underachieving and both in my opinion lost that playmaking ability. this guy right here is the definition of playmaker. he got hurt last year but before that he was highly productive in a system that used the running game as much as the passing game at carolina. he's still young at 27 years old and has alot more to offer in this game i believe we will make a hard run at him and should because the guys an explosive back and fills a need.
FS-ERIC WEDDLE- ok i have got NO IDEA! how the chargers let this guy go away i really really dont. its absurd he's probably a top 3 safety in this league behind polumalu and reed. the former 2nd round pick and this years 1st team all pro stud is a hard hitting game changing impactful player that can really put the final stamp on what would be without a doubt one of the best and most dominant defenses this upcoming season. and he definatley fills a need.
WR-MIKE SIMS-WALKER- we need a deep threat to take some attention off of brandon marshall next year. this guy definatley has the speed and hands to contribute in a very nice way with bess,marshall, and himself our wr group could be beyond deadly. i passed on braylon edwards because i doubt our f/o will give him a shot sidney rice is more of a no.1 and brad smith is more of a wildcat type of guy/kr and i feel like were moving away from that. so sims-walker seems like the best bet.
OG- HARVEY DAHL- we took a big step by locking up incognito for the next 3 years he played great at center last year and i believe thas is where he will stay. this guy is gonna do evreything richie could not at center arguably the best o-lineman atlanta had this guy can come in right away and along with long,richie,jerry, and carey make for a deadly o-line that will be amazing and talked about as one of the if not the best in the league solving our o-line issues.
THE NFL DRAFT
ROUND 1- as you all know we own the 15th overall pick this year so i trully believe that we must trade down to the mid 20's and gain a 2nd round pick. now with that pick i see us taking.. RB-MARK INGRAM-ALABAMA. i know i know but the fact is this kid is hard working hard running stud that will tag with williams if signed to make a deadly backfield and both of them will be a much better,faster,stronger and more explosive unit then ronnie and ricky.
ROUND 2- QB CHRISTIAN PONDER-FSU- this kid looked amazing in the draft and has what it takes to succedd. we are definatley going qb somewhere in this draft and when we do i want to be in this round with this qb. now if we address our qb need in the offseason this becomes an offensive lineman but lets just go with this for now.
ROUND 3-WR JERREL JERNIGAN-TROY- alright this guy can be an explosive kr/pr for us that could also be the deep threat that we are looking for. but by getting sims walker i think that he will be more suited for our special teams.
ROUND 4-OG CLINT BOLING-GEORGIA- he will provide some depth for our oline.
ROUND 5-DE/OLB CHRIS CARTER-FRESNO STATE- he's gonna push misi to do better and provide depth.
ROUND 6-OT WILLIE SMITH-EAST CAROLINA- he's gonna provide depth for our o-line.
ROUND 7-OG STEVE SCHILLING-MICHIGAN- another player that will provide depth.
ROUND 7-CB CORTEZ ALLEN-THE CITADEL- why not?
well guys here it is my miami dolphins 0ffseason mock i hope you enjoyed it.

D Williams is going to be overpriced and.....
He is not going to be the same RB he was in his first 5 years. He is 27 now … he has about 3 years before he hits the 20 year old wall. He has an awful lot of miles on him too. I don’t understand the thinking that somehow that makes him a better choice. Would you think the same thing when you were car shopping? Lets get a RB or 2 in the late rounds in the draft and upgrade our offensive line, then run them til the wheels fall off, and trade them in the last year for a draft pick, or let some other team grab them and overpay them.

On April 25th
He will be 28. So that’s on 2 years before he hits your 30 year wall. He’s coming off a major injury. Last season he only played in 6 games is he healthy? He’s missed 16 games in his 5 year career. That’s an entire season. He’s 3 years removed from his best season and has only rushed for 1000 yards twice. The only plus with him is that he has a career average 5.0 yards a carry. But can we take a chance that he’ll be healthy. This team has had to deal with that already with Ronnie Brown. If were gona go with an injury prone back I’d sign the one that has played his entire career as a Dolphin. Last season was only second time that Ronnie played in a 16games.But he finished the season healthy. William best year was the only year Ronnie made the Probowl. That was 08. William finished the year with 1515 rushing yards. Ronnie only played in 7 games that season. He had 607 rushing yards. A t the time of his injury he lead the league in all purpose yards. If you compare Brown and D Williams career stats the only thing Williams was better was yard per carry. 5.0 to 4.3.

just too much action...
but i agree i would love it.. I actually like all the guys you posted besides not being crazy about pulling the trigger on Ingram at 15. I think it’s a bit unrealistic to expect 5 of the best FA’s in the offseason but all the players you mentioned would be good fits I think.

BRANDON MARSHALL- FUTURE MIAMI HOF WR!!!!!
He said he traded down and got Ingram in the mid 20s.
I don’t see that happening, nor do I see Ponder being available late in the 2nd.

Draft The Newtron Bomb!
depending on CBA...
DeANGELLO WILLIAMS may not be available without draft compensation, and that alone would mess up your draft.
It's unrealistic b/c
It is assuming that we receive the #1 ranked free agent tight end, the #1 ranked free agent runningback, the #1 ranked free agent free safety and the second best free agent guard only behind Logan Mankins.
Last year we were rumored to be the team to make the biggest splash in the offseason with the #1 wideout and middle linebacker.
I would see getting two of these guys as a successful free agency period, but all of them?
I am not a financial buff, but im sure that will also be a limiting factor

Well
zach miller wasn’t the num.1 te Owen daniels was, Williams was a guy we have already inquired about and as far as Dahl and weddle go hey Ross is one of the more richer owners in the lg….we should come out with at least 3 of those guys in f.a

Like it...
I wish our STUPID FO thought this way ! Even though we will never get this many great players – I would be happy if we coould get at least 2… Like Miller at TE and Dahl at guard… that would be a LOT for this FO to accomplish….they simply do not have the brains/balls to get it done… but I will HOPE too !
If we are able to TRADE DOWN we will have a lot more flexibility – QB, RB, and OL are the biggest needs in the first 2 rounds…I like Ingram, Mallett or one of the big OT in round one myself. sims-walker would help a lot with his deep speed.

Franchise QB... NOW !!! ...Draft some Freakin speed for a change.
WR & RB speed kills......
Miller has a 1st and 3rd tender, so he's eliminated but
the rest of your FAs will seal the deal. Ingram will not be worth a 15, so trading back and getting a late 1st and 2nd round pick, we can eye Ponder or Kapaernick.
Damn the sheriff, Bring on MARSHALL LAW
miller is a free man lol
once the new CBA gets done all the tenders ur seeing made around the lg will be voided.
AFC EAST CHAMPS 2008
Here is how I understand RFA tenders and Franchise Tags.
If we go back to what it was before the un-capped year. Players with I believe 4 years or less that are tender as of this day will be RFA. It might be 3 years or less. Not sure. Franchise tags are a little different. We’ve all noticed that guys with 4 years or less are signing their Franchise Tenders which is smart. They could be tendered for a lot less. I hope we have a one year reprieve from the Franchise tags that aren’t signed. That to me would be fair. It would also teach the Pats and the Chargers to treat their players fairly.

If we trade back we lose out on ingram.
And ponder’s stock is rising. Hes probably gonna go in the 1st round.

dont think so
in a lot of mock drafts Ingram down to late 1st round pick, no much teams have RB holes to draft ingram in first round, only teams with a lot of picks, and not more urgent holes (like Pats) think for Ingram in first Round.
Exactly
If we traded back the Patcheats would take him with the 17th pick. That would exclude Ingram. Williams stays hurt. He’s coming off an injury now. How do we even know if he’s healthy? In 08 he had 1515 that was a career year for him. i remember we played the Panthers two years ago. Williams broke free for the game winning TD only to be chased down by Bell. I didn’t know bell was that fast or maybe William’s that slow.I’d sign Ronnie first. Compare their career stats you’d be surprised. From what I’ve read in Yahoo! sports the main reason the Jags let Sims-Walker was because he didn’t he top end speed to stretch the defense. Although the addition might make Marshall happy. Other than that I like what you got.

Why not?
They have enough picks select any player they like. Ingram might be the BPA when they pick. It’s not like they couldn’t use the former Hiesman trophy winner.

He has huge needs elsewhere; only needs a RB to complement GE and Woody;
doesn’t value this position as much as the other positions.

Those Mock Drafts are not being done by NFL GMs,
but regular joe’s. I highly doubt that the only 1st round quality RB will drop that far.

i doubt miami will get deangelo
ireland said he is going to keep one of brown and ricky and I think its gonna be Ronnie and then he is gonna draft an ingram or another rb in the 3rd round for the future

you sir, should win that award.

i see our splashes as being
1. Seneca Wallace: Played for Daboll in Cleveland and is an underrated mobile QB in and out of the pocket.
2. Brad smith/Mike sims walker: One of these guys would be brought in to compete for the #2-4 reciever spot.
Another option to look into would be Kevin Boss. TE: He’s been productive in the Giants passing game,and a big part of how the three headed monster at RB are so productive.
Other options I would like to see happen is the dolphins drop out of the first round altogether,and trade with denver for the third,and fourteenth picks in the second round. With those picks we select.
2a. Ben Ijalana OG,Villanova. A productive Guard that spent 4 years in a productive system. A mauler with the meanstreak this FO covets.
2b. James Carpenter OT,Alabama. A quiet standout for the crimson,had a solid showing at the senior bowl,and would be a decent swing tackle that could fill in for either Long or Carey til he replaces Carey in a year or two.
In the third round. We could go for: Jordan Todman,RB Connecticut. Or Demarco Murrray RB,Oklahoma. Preffering the latter,would be a good fit to replace Ronnie in a year or two.
And in the fourth: Cecil Shorts 3,WR Mount Union. This years Brad Smith,Daboll will give fits if he finds enough ways to use this guy effectively.
Another option in the fourth round would be: Kendrick Ellis DT,Hampton. We drafted Langford from this same school,and look how he’s turned out,at 6’5" 340 lbs. He could be the answer were looking for and allowing him to sit a year behind solai could allow us a little leverage in re signing the big underachiever.

Born and bred in Miami,I am a die hard fins fan. Of course,this mock is in response to his,and seems a bit more plausible. Most of these guys have been mocked til after our picks in said rounds,so taking them where I have them selected seems like not much of a reach.
The free agents are valued as low key,low cost high reward options,save Seneca,who I learned just signed a 3 year deal with the Browns. Sooo,that being said,where is this comment about Narnia coming from?

It was for the originial mock up top. I really like yours except for picking up Seneca Wallace.
On the "Draft Titus Young" Bandwagon
Why do people like Ryan Williams more than Leshoure. Leshoure bigger and not as injury prone.
Well i kind of have to change that pick up anyways
He re signed with the Browns for 3 years. All I know is he played behind some pretty good talent in Rothlisberger,in Seattle,and now on the Browns,where they were atempting to transition to the new QB.
The reason he made sense was he was a Daboll pickuplast season,with more mobility than Henne,and a bit more accuracy than Thigpen. And tbh,he would be a transition to next years QB draft class that would challenge Henne just enough to get some performance out of him.
Tbh,I really think we don’t address this position except for a later round pick until the cream of the crop comes out next year,seeing as there really isn’t a rookie that wows these guys save Kaepernick. And he’s more a third round prospect than a first round reach. These mocks that have us picking ingram don’t really do enough justice for this front offices penchant to think outside the box. And to those that think that this front office will only have a year to show they are legitimate,don’t see the writing on the wall. This class has no affect on this FO,because simply,the right choices aren’t there to be had

Ummm...
Not sure why you would have us pick up D. Williams in FA and then draft a RB in the first round? That is just an insane move IMHO. You already have a feature back and we have Hilliard, we could easily wait for like the 4th round or later to pick up another RB. And you have us taking a G in FA and then a bunch more in the draft…I know we need a starter and some depth but not that bad. Honestly its a little overkill for me and I am glad you are not our GM
Everyone has his day and some days last longer than others.
-Winston Churchill-
Btw,change it to Darren Sproles
This front office is showing some interest,and the make Hilliard a feature back idea is picking up steam. We still lack speed,and we get that with Sproles.
