Mock Off Season/ Warning: Includes Substantial Reality
- Thread starter Kingdom Come
- Start date
Thanks!
When OP posts threads like this that are outlandish and contain poor moves all over the place, what else is there to be said? And then calls it "substantial reality." It's like someone else calling themselves a "stable genius." See the connection?
If you'd like I can make my own offseason plan, but I don't think that highly of myself to think that anyone gives a **** about my offseason plan opinion.

Dennis Hickey, is that you?
It's taking a huge risk to shore up depth like this without coming home with an impact starter on day 1. Our special teams unit doesn't need the help, frankly. The more seasons go by, the more I think the best way to draft is just to collect blue chip talent at the top. Once you have the nucleus of talent to form the framework, then you can start casting a broader net ala the Patriots. We don't have the talent or the personality to anchor solid development from midround projects. It's never worked down here.
I'll give it a Like for so much effort, regardless of what I agree with.
A couple of points:
* Tannehill if healthy will be better in 2018 than you project. It figures to be an uptick season for the entire team after dropping from 10 wins to 6. So that will attach to the quarterback and mostly everything else. Likewise if Tannehill had been healthy in 2017 he would have had a disappointing season compared to expectation
* Rashaad Penny is one of my favorite college players on one of my favorite college teams. But he shouldn't be the 35th pick in any draft. Penny is instinctive with his eyes but his lower body is somewhat stiff and doesn't always cooperate. Sometimes it's not obvious how stiff his legs are until he breaks into the open and he's mostly standing straight up with his legs being dragged along...not much knee bend.

Which stat gets you 'instinctive with his eyes' and 'lower body is somewhat stiff'? Seems like more tape to me
With a line like this........ "I think when the defensive staff gets together and examines last year's film they WILL realize that Kiko can't cover",
It's odd to think the team needs to re-examine the film after living through the season from the inside, to get to where you are at in your thinking.
Is it possible they already know more than fans without the film.

Many Pundits are mocking QB to the Dolphins in the first round. Even Daniel Jeremiah Jeremiah just mocked Josh Allen to the Dolphins.
They agree with me that the time for continuing to expect Tannehill to improve is over.
Rashad Penny ranked 3rd in PFF's elusivity rating which tracks a RB's ability when it is all up to him. He did this with the fourth highest run after contact behind only Josh Adams,Harris,and Love.
Only Bryce Love and Damien Harris had higher elusivity ratings.
This is out of over a hundred players ranked.

Fans are meaningless. wth?
It is their job. It is the most important thing they do IMO. Different circumstances can affect each individual play. If they aren't scouring the tape and closely examining what each player is doing on every play, then they aren;t doing their job. There is only so much time for this during the season when game planning is the priority. The off season tape review and player evaluations determine the decisions that have to be made concerning any changes made in the off season during free agency and what the team needs are when the draft and rookie free agent time comes.

There is no such thing as a,"top ten."
There never has been and there never will be.
One guys #7 is another guy's 2nd rounder.
Case in point: Harold Landry OLB/DE. He is being projected all over the place, and has been for months. He is by no means an anomaly. This kind of thing happens every year with a number of players.
A lot of fans get so wrapped up in the draft and their video games that they start turning draft projections into absolutes.
There is no standard grading system. There are only a several thousand Big Boards and all of them different.
You’re worried we’ll end up with Minkah or Mayfield? I’d be elated to the point of obnoxious optimism if either player is a Miami Dolphin.
Sick burn, bro. Look, I get it, it's really fun getting to hear the Dolphins name called more times on draft days. It's all the football we get for a couple months. But the reality is, as noted in my previous post where I completely shot down your argument, the top players go higher FAR more often. Draft boards vary from team to team based on schemes and varying levels of intelligence in the FO, but that doesn't change the FACT that the higher you pick, the higher the talent available. Trading down lessens the likelihood of landing
I appreciate the effort you put into the original post and I don't disagree with all of it, but arguments to trade down just for the sake of trading down make no sense. The only time trading down should be considered is if it involves a proven player in trade or while you are on the clock and there legitimately isn't a single player you feel is worth that pick. The likeliehood of either at 11 is minute.
That doesn't mean Tbum won't reach for some mediocre schlub at that spot, but that's a different discussion entirely.
Soooooo like you and this "substantial reality" thread?

You do realize with all this utter trash that you post, you are like the little boy who cried wolf.
Nobody pays any attention to what you post anymore. Your insults fall on deaf ears, and if you did happen to post something of substance, it would be glanced over.
Maybe you should give it a rest.
Pot calling the kettle black, eh? So how many dollars have you contributed to this site over the years? Maybe instead of freely using this site's bandwith to post a plethora of these ridiculous threads (and attack posters who don't agree), you could donate $20 or more to a VIP membership. Then repeated threads like this would be somewhat justified.
