I was a proponent of grabbing Feeley or Billy Volek, or Ricky Ray, like a month ago or so. But I do not like the price Miami is set to pay for AJ Feeley. The contract is ok with me, people are making too big a deal out of a 5 year contract where most of the money is stuffed in the final 2-3 years with only a 3 million signing bonus. What kills me is the future 2nd round pick, and the fact that it could become a 1st rounder if he meets some incentives. That deal smells of desperation on our part...and while its no secret we are desperate for someone other than Fiedler, there were other candidates out there. I don't like that mainly because with the PR this move creates and the high profile, it would mean the dolphins probably won't do anything to secure Drew Henson or Phil Rivers.
Still if Rivers falls to #20 you have to take him. He's too good not to. He's right up there with Ben Roethlisberger and Eli Manning, if not better than them both. He deserves to be mentioned with all the top ten talents in the draft. If Gallery fell to #20 because everyone is set at offensive tackle, would you take him? I sure would, even with us all being so sure that Wade Smith will be a stud LT. If Tommie Harris fell to #20, or Kenechi Udeze, would you take them? I sure would, despite DE and DT not being a high priority.
Likewise, if Rivers fell, I'd take him.
