YEEEEE HAAAAAA GIGGGITTTYY, The Draft Is Here : )) !!
GOFINS!!!

What is your preferred positional combination, WHO'YA GOT of these or others?

Miami Dolphins Trade Down Partners, and Prospect Potentialities.

The Miami Dolphins First Round and Fourteenth selection of the 2015 National Football Leagues Draft is just two Thursdays away on April 30th. The under-belly of the shark that the Dolphins should be targeting is the top corner back Trae Waynes, the top offensive lineman Brandon Scherff, or one of the top three truly legit number one receivers.

Problem is that Waynes, Scherff, as well as the top receivers in order Amari Cooper, Kevin White, and DeVante Parker appear to be disappearing from the prospect boards before Miami's fourteenth pick, according to the universe of mock drafts consensus. If those positional prospects are gone it's suggestive that prospects of other positions will be falling. In thus scenario, The Best Players Available at pick fourteen could end up being those of the nose tackle (Danny Shelton), defensive tackle (Arik Armstead), outside line backer (Randy Gregory), or the drafts top power running back (Todd Gurley ranked 14th overall with a 6.3 grade) and/or the speedster Melvin ghost Gordon rated at 6.2 which are positions/players of minimal Dolphin desire but may well be held in much higher regard to other NFL team needs.

In the case of the above becoming fact.
Perhaps the top safety Landon Collins who is the overall 13th ranked prospect is available at 14 for Miami to choose for themselves? Maybe the Dolphins reach slightly for the next best corner back Jalen Collins ranked 20th overall with a grade of 6.2, or the 4th, 5th, 6th most statuesque though question marked receivers Breshad Perriman, Dorial Green-Beckham, and Jaelan Strong who is in need of wrist surgery.

The Big,Tall, Do-It-All Receiver class is the drafts second thinnest position with only six prospects graded above 5.5, and just four players rated at 6.0 or better. A Grade of (5.50 to 5.99 is described on paper as a player with a chance to become a starter). 6.00 to 6.49 is a player suggested to be an instant starter. Amari Cooper and Kevin White are most definitely gone long before pick 14. Parker and Perriman grade at 6.2, Green-Beckham & Strong grade below 6.0 and presently have the most disturbing red-flag issues.

Presently, Miami owns just six draft picks and are without a third round selection that they traded for their current number two wide-out Kenny Stills. The Dolphins do not as of yet have a legit number one Wide-Out, a DeVante Parker with the most collegiate experience and zero question marks precisely fits the void. Miami has plenty of more than capable bodies at corner back, but a Trae Waynes would make for an impenetrable corner back duo with Brent Grimes who himself isn't getting any younger.

Ifff Parker AND Waynes AND Scherff are gone at pick 14?
Does Miami (reach) for the next best receivers, corner back, or offensive lineman?

Is Safety Landon Collins at pick 14, and do the Dolphins take him or spit the tasty trade bait? The 2015 Safety class is by far the thinnest of all positions with just five prospects that grade at 5.5 or above. Landon Collins at 6.33 is the only Safety with a grade of 6.0 or better. Much like a potential combination of Grimes & Waynes at corner back, a Jones & Collins tandem at safety would deem the deep backfield as impregnable. Though Miami can likely get by effectively with what they have if Louis Delmas and his backups can get and stay healthy along side of Rashad Jones throughout the season.

Does Miami take a prospect at a position of minimal need (DL,OLB,RB) because they happen to be the Best Player Available as time ticks away?

Or do the Dolphins pursue a willing trade partner within ten selections of pick 14 in order to recoup an additional 2nd or 3rd round pick plus others, and perhaps still have an option of need at one or another prospects that were available to (reach) for at 14?

Some aggressive of late draft participants with a multitude of picks in various rounds beyond the first round are the Cleveland Browns, Philadelphia Eagles, and Arizona Cardinals. Meanwhile. Any of the leagues teams in the vicinities of said teams picks could also come into play while having to compensate similarly for the Miami Dolphins 14th pick.

Miami's first round pick at FOURTEEN is demanding of 1,100 draft trade value points.

The Cleveland Browns first round pick at NINETEEN carries a draft trade value number of 875 points while their 77th overall selection that falls in the third round is worth 205, and the Browns overall 189th pick is a sixth round selection with a trade value designation of 15.8 for a combined total worth of 1,095.8 points. Miami trades down five spots from pick 14 to pick 19 with the inclusion of an additional third and sixth round pick as compensation to the Dolphins. The Browns are in need of a Defensive Lineman (Shelton/Armstead), Inside Line Backer (minus a prospect of pick 14 value), Wide Receiver, and Quarterback Marcus Mariota (should he take an Aaron Rodgers type fall) to Miami's selection at 14.

Philadelphia with selection TWENTY of the first round has a value set at 850 points along with their 84th overall pick in the third round worth 170 points, the 113th fourth round choice at 68 points, and the Eagles 196th overall draft selection that falls in the sixth round carries 13 draft trade value points for a combined total of 1,101. Miami's first for Philly's first, third, fourth, and sixth round selections. The Eagles are in need of an Outside Line Backer (Randy Gregory), Safety (Landon Collins), Corner Back (Jalen Collins), and perhaps Quarterback Marcus Mariota. Mariota is the Quarterback recruited to Oregon by then Duck, and present Eagles Head Coach/GM Chip Kelly.

Arizona's Cardinals own the first rounds TWENTY-FOURTH pick worth (740), and the overall 55th selection (350) that comes in the second round for a combined grand total of 1,090 draft trade value points. Miami's first at pick 14 for Arizona's first round pick #24 and #55 overall that falls in the second round. The Cardinals are in need of an Outside Linebacker (Gregory), Defensive Lineman (Shelton/Armstead), Running Back (Todd Gurley/Melvin Gordon), and/or a Corner Back (Jalen Collins).


Should Miami not be able to hit the Bulls-Eye with their own top targeted selections of WR Parker, CB Waynes, OL Scherff, or Safety Landon Collins at pick 14, and choose to trade down five to ten spots in gathering additional high round picks of great value? They could still have a (more valuable) opportunity at landing some of those that they'd have had to initially (reach) for at pick 14. As well, they would have value type selections of the next best corner backs Kevin Johnson, Byron Jones, and Ronald Darby, or highly graded offensive lineman La'El Collins at 6.1 and/or DJ Humphries 6.2 rating among many in the 15 plus deep (with a grade of 5.5 or better) CB & OL classes.


LET US "CHANT TO THE DRAFT GODS" FOR WAYNES, Scherff, or PARKER AT PICK FOURTEEN!!
Otherwise, it's potentially safety Landon Collins, reach slightly for the next best corner back, offensive lineman or receiver, select a prospect at a position of minimal need, or trade down for more value, and additional picks.


THANK YOU for an Open-Minded Read, and we look forward to your angle of view : )) !!

The Miami Dolphins Need A True Number One Receiver, (at the least)!

With or without Mike Wallace?

In the case that the 6 foot, 200 pound, 4.33 forty running Mike Wallace is to be discarded?
There are a few speedster types of note in the pending free agency period that will be covered after this weeks combine. Their names are Jeremy Maclin, Kenny Britt, and the likely unattainable Randall Cobb who like Jarvis Landry is a thriving slot receiver that is also a highly capable number two, outside receiver option.

Here are a few DRAFT COMBINE participating, second or third round projected speedsters that would perfectly fill the potentially voided speed of Mike Wallace. While none are of the One Trick Pony variety,(Nor is Mike Wallace anymore). However. A far cheaper draft version could very possibly be just around the bend.

3) Sammie Coates 6 - 2, 213 Auburn Tiger Jr. is this years chiseled freak that will shock and awe onlookers. He's big & tall yet clocks-in as the drafts third fastest prospect overall at 4.36. Coates is a raw, yet strong talent with blazing speed, he will test great which hasn't quite transferred to the field at the same extent. His production has been decent, but could be great with better execution of patterns, mental fortitude, and a dabb'a'stick'em.

2) Phillip Dorsett 5 - 10, 183 Miami Hurricane Sr. is this drafts fastest player at 4.32. He is a Miami native with good to great all around receiver skills, work ethics, morals, and character. (See Devin Smith). Though trailing Smith to the End Zone by a score of 30 to 17, and 300 or so yards at the college level. Dorsett is a slightly smaller, slightly faster, more explosive, exact replica from the two, or three spot to an opposing defenses coverage nightmare.

1) Devin Smith 6 - 0, 190 Ohio State Buckeye Sr. runs a 4.38 forty and is quick to get open at the line of scrimmage. As well. (Though his routes need tweaking), his feet and hips offer a serious wiggle to quickly create space on short to intermediate patterns. This ability to create instant separation eventually leads to him blowing a defender out of his shoes with his outright over the top speed. He can score from anywhere on the field, and covering him requires an equally fleet of foot defender, or their damn sure better be a safety over the top.

All three of the above have professed to be shooting for a sub 4.3 forty this weekend.


With or without Mike Wallace!

In either case for The Miami Dolphins. A true number one receiver needs to be of the tall, big, strong, fast, athletic, smart, do'it'all variety. A player with a distinction of ultimate importance that the opposition has to game plan against with multiple defenders on every play. A guy that can be a threat at all levels of the field while opening zones for the single coverage drawing, primary targets in Miami's offensive scheme.

This six foot three-plus, two hundred and ten-plus pound man of men would be defensively identified as Miami's Number One Receiver. This doesn't mean that he would necessarily be the Dolphins receptions leader, just that he can be a highly productive threat at all levels. Such a bulls-eye would also be the one to draw double and triple coverage away from the preferred zones of Jarvis Landry, or a Mike Wallace and/or his potential replacement of a similarly proficient skill set.

Mike Wallace is a true number two receiver with blazing speed being his most important to Miami asset. Jarvis Landry is likely to be the Dolphins receptions leader for as long as Miami can hold onto him as their number three slot receiver while he also has the ability to be productive at the outside number two spot. Both Landry, and a Wallace type player are the perfect complements to a True Number One Receiver, and Vice-Versa. To have all three and/or a facsimile of would offer quite the dilemma for an opposing defense. Let-Alone a productive Tight End, and Running Back already being in the mix.

In a league of thirty two teams, twenty of the participants Number One Receivers are at least 6 - 3 while carrying a minimum weight of 210 pounds. In the case of those 20 receivers, they are also their teams most productive receivers, and most are stars of the league. A few teams number one, and number two receivers are both at, if not towering above the 75 inch barometer. Every remaining team (other than a couple along with Miami) has at least one of these statuesque receivers on their active game day roster.

Proof in the pudding that the Dolphins are aware of this BIG need lay in the fact that somewhere along the way since his release on October 9th, 2014 from Dallas. The Dolphins signed a 2012 un-drafted free agent receiver LaRon Byrd who happens to be 6 - 4 while carrying 220 pounds. On December 16th, 2014, Miami signed another big guy of 6 - 3, 220, a first year player by the name of Gerrell Robinson. Byrd has spent a moment or two with four organizations previous to Miami while the Dolphins are Robinson's third chance. Neither player has yet to do anything at the NFL level, so it's not likely that either are the immediate answer to Miami's extreme need of a true number one wide receiver. However. They are proof that the Dolphins understand that a big, tall, productive receiver is a necessity to land in the cards yet to be dealt. Other than the above two, only the relevant Brian Hartline at 6 - 2, 200 pounds is taller than six foot, and he too may become a cap casualty along with Mike Wallace this year. As well, the latter's linguist Brandon Gibson might also be on the cap chopping block.

As of this moment (previous to a flurry of league wide cap casualties). The upcoming 2015 free agency period which opens on (March 10th) doesn't offer a scheduled to be, attainable Number One Receiver option of suggested minimum height, weight, and skill-set parameters. The only legit men of such is in Denver's Demaryius Thomas, and The Cowboys Dez Bryant who are far more than likely to be franchised before being allowed to hit the open market. Meanwhile, Miami couldn't afford them to begin with. Therefore, the Dolphins may need to pursue such a disruptive number one force versus the opposition with the first rounds fourteenth pick of the draft.

More extensive analysis of these and other positional prospects will be covered as the draft approaches, but this is Combine week, a Defibrillator of sorts intended to keep the heart pumping until the start of Free Agency, and/or until day one of the end of Aprils draft.

Here are a desired handful of the 2015 drafts first and second round, Big, Tall, Potentially True Number One Receiver Prospects. Guy's that will be showing-off their stuff starting upon Tuesday's NFL Combine. Let us see just how Big, Tall, Strong, Fast, Athletic, Agile, and Smart they really are at this years ""Under-Wear Olympics.""

7) Devin Funchess 6 - 5, 230 Michigan Wolverine Jr. was a Tight End until the 2014 season when he moved to receiver. His collegiate forty time was 4.63 which is somewhat fast for a tight end, but reasonably slow for a receiver. He is too light to block as a three down tight end, while being quite the receiving threat out of the Tight end position. With his height, and weight out of the receiver position, he may be a nightmare match up, if he proves to be strong, athletically agile, and a bit faster at his combine. Lucky Seven, A serious multi-positional red zone threat, if nothing else.

6) Jaelen Strong 6 - 3, 215, 4.55 Arizona State Sun Devil Jr. is a guy that is strong in both the lower body and hands, a receiver who fights hard for possession and yardage. A big, tall, long armed, skilled leaper that catches most everything. He's not particularly quick, or fast, and doesn't consistently create great separation, but he is a smartly skilled route runner that knows how to get himself between the defender and quarterback, while attacking the ball in traffic comes from his competitive nature. Said his Offensive Coordinator Mike Norvell. "Jaelen Strong is probably one of the sharpest receivers I've been around, he understands concepts. He understands his role of not only trying to get himself open, but how he might be pulling two people to open up somebody else."

5) Breshad Perriman 6 - 3, 214, 4.52 Central Florida Knights. Unlike Jaelan Strong, and despite a far inferior route running technique, this guy quickly creates space on every pattern. He's more quick than fast (especially for a big receiver), he can stop on a dime and be back to full speed with his first step. Another receiver of great athleticism, leaping ability, body control, and wingspan that can go to the house on every play. He is also strong, and a willing blocker. It'll be interesting to see if he can improve upon his overall forty time speed, as he's proven to be plenty quick. With a cleanup of his pattern preciseness, hand/eye coordination, and mental focus on receptions, Breshad Perriman could be that coveted Number One Receiver.

4) Dorial Green Beckham 6 - 5, 225, 4.49 Oklahoma Sooner Jr. has had a set back or two of his own doing, and may not be on the Dolphins draft board because of it. He didn't play ball in 2014 due to transfer restrictions. However. He is every bit as talented, (if not more-so) than this entire bunch, and a personal favorite if he were to (take an unlikely) fall to Miami's second round pick. Green-Beckham is the subject of this receiver classes best height to weight to speed ratio. An NFL Star if his fingers are sticky on game day only.

3) Amari Cooper 6 -1, 210 Alabama Crimson Tide Jr. doesn't meet the sought after altitude, but he is this drafts top rated receiver as a Heisman Trophy runner up with the potential to be an NFL number one. He will start at one or another receiver position on opening day. While not quite up to the height line for this particular ride, he is also one of the slowest (according to the clock) of these Miami hopefuls, but he plays fast. His height nor collegiate 4.52 speed hasn't hindered his production thus-far due to motherly motivations toward him being the best ever as a hard working technical aficionado with exemplary character traits.

2) Devante Parker 6 - 3, 209, 4.48 Louisville Cardinal Sr. is an extremely competitive, highly focused, explosive play-maker that aggressively stalks possession with great agility, hands and range in a spectacular fashion. His quickness, and preciseness in routes could be easily perfected with some minor coaching instructions. He plays far better in competition than he will test. Devante Parker's only real question mark is his strength, and he has become stronger each of the last two seasons which will be put on display this coming weekend.

1) Kevin White 6 - 3, 210, 4.49 West Virginia Mountaineer Sr. with a similar to Parker aggressively competitive, focused desire. Kevin also has great hands, leaping ability, bodily agility, and large reception radius. However. White is currently a more precisely skilled route runner with a slightly better ability to create separation at all level's of the field. He is technically refined in most every route of which he runs a larger variety, quicker into his breaks, sharper out of them, can stop on a dime, is stronger from start to finish, and runs with more power after the catch. Though he still has work to do,(for the most part) Kevin White is ready to be an NFL True Number One Receiver upon the day of his signing.
