For our offense, I like Harris a little better overall.
Don't overlook the Williams kid from NC - he might be nice to have on the roster

With the way this franchise continually wastes late 1st rounders I would take the chance. Would you like a Misi? Harris? Odrick? Our latest late 1st rounder is a project. Sorry but Etienne is plug and play, beats the Hell out of any of the guys above.No thank you.
Harris is great at catching the ball,he is more powerfull than Travis...and picks up the blitz a lot better.
Derrick Henry,Mark Ingram, did ok coming from Bama...
Zeke has been pretty good coming from OSU.
The only time i'd use a first rounder on RB,would be at the bottom of the first round..more years of control.
I'd never give a second contract to a RB....that's where the problems happen.
That's what I think as well. Maybe early second round based on need, but top 50 sounds about right. I do think Harris is the type of back Miami needs. He can block and catch, which is nice and I think he complements what the Dolphins already have at running back.I sure donāt see better than 4.6 on that najee tape
I could see top 50 I donāt see it happening before that
Pitts is so intriguing. I know Miami is set at tight end, but there could be some discussion in the Dolphins war room especially if Chase, Smith and Waddle are off the board. I don't think that will be the case, though. As of now, I'd love Smith if the team goes wide receiver there.With the way this franchise continually wastes late 1st rounders I would take the chance.

I actually enjoy you as a poster and so glad you are back but really the draft is only as good as the guys you choose. If you make good picks that contribute the value is there. A bust is a bust in any round. I would take Ezekiel Elliott for where he was taken compared to Jordan for us. That is two top 3 players. Do I want a RB in the top 5? Hell no but he would have given us more than that POS we drafted.
Just to be clear, yes I will take a stud WR or a Pitts at TE before a RB. On the flip side what do you think of Friermuth?
He was clocked at 4.66 in highschool, and āsupposedlyā 4.45 at alabama. Iām sure heās somewhere in between I would guess high 4.5s low 4.6s tooI sure donāt see better than 4.6 on that najee tape

He did well against Micah Parsons and Penn State.
Any thoughts on Rhamondre Stevenson from Oklahoma? Love his size and physical play. Some character issues might make him an affordable day 3 option.
I've only seen his highlights, but like him. Honestly, I think he would complement what Miami already has at running back.Any thoughts on Rhamondre Stevenson from Oklahoma? Love his size and physical play. Some character issues might make him an affordable day 3 option.
Isn't that in range of Henry?He was clocked at 4.66 in highschool, and āsupposedlyā 4.45 at alabama. Iām sure heās somewhere in between I would guess high 4.5s low 4.6s too
I do think this draft should be the "Tua" draft. Surround him with talent and give him a chance. Miami failed to do that with Tannehill. Don't want to waste the opportunity with Tua.I enjoy you, too, and I agree that the draft is only as good as the players you choose; however, every pick contains a range of outcomes. You're going to miss on some picks, and some picks will turn into Pro Bowl and All Pro players. Your best chances of hitting on a high-end talent are in the Top 10 > Top 20 > Top 40, etc.. An All Pro WR, OT, CB, or Pass Rusher are just a LOT more valuable than an All Pro RB. They're also a lot more expensive (because they're more valuable). In fact, a great RB can have a negative effect if the playcaller feels pressure to justify the pick by running the ball too much. This has been an on/off issue with Dallas since they drafted Elliott. Yes, he's very good, but he's not so good that he bridges the gap between passing and rushing efficiency.
Freiermuth is more appealing to me - for Miami - than Pitts. I just don't see how Miami would make it work with Pitts and Gesicki - unless Pitts developed into an in-line TE. I value testing a lot for TE. I also value blocking over receiving production. Assuming Freiermuth tests well, I'd start considering him at 2a. If he tests great, I'd even consider him at 1b, but I'd probably lean in a different direction.
Even if I got Smith, Chase, or Waddle at 1a, I'd rather have T. Marshall or R. Bateman at 2b over a RB. There are OL, Pass Rushers, and DB's over Harris or Etienne, too. I'd even favor (S) T. Moehrig over either.
Personally, I'd feel confident I could get a quality RB in the 3rd, but 2b is the earliest I'd go.
