*** Official Nfl Draft Discussion Thread *** Rounds 4-7

You didn't speak to any scouts.
You can't possibly know that to be a factual statement.......lol.

Seriously though, I didn't see LB as a priority, but it's a freakin 5th. It's not like we are passing up elite players, as some dreamers think.
 
It's a message board - it's sole purpose is to discuss opinions. Of course they've done more homework than most on here (can't confirm more then Slimm or J-Off though)....but it doesn't mean they're always right.

I respect your posts but disagree on this one.
IMO, if someone complains because they dont know who the guy is, that specific opinion is null and void... Message board or not...
 
"Van Ginkel had a great showing at the combine: - 6.89 sec 3 cone (3rd among LBs) - 38 in vertical (4th among LBs) - 4.14 sec 20 yd shuttle (6th among LBs) - 123 in broad jump (8th among LBs) - Elite 90.2 ovr grade in 2017 - 61 pressures, 54 stops, 1 penalty over the last 2 yrs"

Getting pissed at a 5th round pick is hilarious to me.

Miami's scouts did way more homework on Van Ginkel than anyone here did.

He fills the rush linebacker role that Van Noy did in New England.

Well said.

How many Pro-Bowlers did B-Flo have last year in NE on defense? Gilmore the All-Pro CB is replaced with our All-Pro CB. Chris is drafting players that fit B-Flos scheme, high character guys that are all about “we” not me and all have high motors.

I’m digging this draft so far!
 
"The @PFF_Dolphins select Northwest Iowa product Andrew Van Ginkel with the 151st overall pick. Van Ginkel earned an ELITE @PFF grade of 90.2 in 2017, and his incredible Combine numbers prove he is an NFL level athlete. Should get a chance to play early on in Miami"

I guess he got banged up in 2018, but he was looking good in 2017. I supposed we reached a bit for his potential.

I can agree with and respect that. But i'm sure many on here do know who he is....at least the posters i look for in these threads.
 
Van Ginkel seems like an intriguing prospect, it'll be fun to see him fly around and he'll be sure to find space on Special Teams right of the bat
 
Just another indicator that Miami plans to get its pass rush with scheme over pure win one on one iso talent.

A high motors a good thing to have when that’s your plan. At least for 2019.

Provided the athlete isn’t sub par. 240 flat though not great weight a little light. Might get tossed a lot if a tackle gets his mitts on him
 
Good athlete,but needs to add some strength?? is his motor questionable?
