Reiff would be the worst pick being discussed. Ingram doesn't make any sense to me as a DE. And I don't like the value. I'd go Perry over Ingram all day.
Any OL pick would piss me off. I don't care how talented Reiff or DeCastro are. I don't even care if he projects to Steve Hutchinson like qualities, either (and I'm a huge fan of having a strong line on both sides). It's time for this regime to earn their paychecks. Other teams draft tackles and guards in the 2nd round and later. Somehow, those teams still find their way to the playoffs because the QB is elite. This franchise has been dicking around with the QB position for way too long. It's time to draft a QB in the first round. I don't care how good your guards, tackles, pass rushers etc are. If you don't have a legit QB, nothing else matters.
Wha? Claiborne is definitely elite. If by some crazy chance he fell to us, Ireland should be fired on the spot if he passed on him. Claiborne and Davis? Yes please.Reiff: short arms make it tough for him in pros. if we took OL, I would take DeCastro
Claiborne: he is good but not elite..if he fell, would trade pick to someone who wants him
Barron: would be reaching big-time to fill a need
Any DT especially Poe or Brockers: not a need and those 2 guys are 1 year wonders
Coples. Just doesn't seem to have the work ethic.
Any wide reciever !
This draft is too deep to take a wr at the #8 spot From what I've read the west coast offense does not need an offical #1 receiver they spread the ball around. I would not like Weeden either at #8.
I have read the post on Phin Phanatic that made a lot of sense, the post by "massanuttenref" gave stats that Matt Moore was sacked 4 times in each of the 6 loses, and 2 times in each of his six wins. The writer listed four games including 4x vs Denver 18-15, 5x vs Giants 20-17, 4x vs Dallas 20-19, and 5x vs New England 27-24.
The Dolphins lost those four games by a total of 10 points, and Matt Moore was sacked a total 18 times in those close games. the post says and I agree we need a better right side of the offensive line and if we would have our record very possibly been 10-6 instead of 6-10. To me the QB was not the biggest problem. Like he said go with the not so sexy pick of DeCastro at #8. Winning will sell tickets and we need a line that will protect our QB. Not only that but can you imagine our running game with Decastro pulling for Bush. Not sexy but it makes very good sense in the long run.
We can wait until later rounds and get Brock Osweiler to develope. Then a pass rusher, LB, Safety, and wide receiverlater on in this draft.
