Did Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin reveal his draft strategy?

We are definite contenders for bottom of the barrel. We got weaker while implementing a new offense and changes in defense. As of now, we are not average.

How would you even know that before the draft, before training camp and before the team even steps foot on the turf?! Yeah the team hasnt made the decisions we all expected or wanted but the truth is, NONE of us have any idea how we are going to do until we do it. To guarantee we will be in the bottom is ludicrous. We may very well be in the bottom but we also may be average or even in the top. Who knows... only time will tell.

Nobody guaranteed anything, i hope i'm completely wrong on this, but i agree with NY, as of right now, we look like one of the worst teams in the NFL. (as much as it breaks my heart to say it)

I hope the draft, trades, and whatever is left of free-agency somehow changes that.

This doesn't tell us anything. We still don't know what their draft board looks like, so the BPA available for them could be different than what we deem to be the BPA at 8. I wonder how high they have Michael Floyd and Quinton Coples on their board. Higher than Tannehill? If they have Floyd and Coples, or even Justin Blackmon a spot or two above Tannehill on their board? And if that's the case, do they pull the trigger on one of those guys over a POTENTIAL franchise QB? And would you guys condone this? I think that strategy is silly when it comes to landing a potential franchise QB.

I'm under the line of thinking that unless you have a franchise QB, you take him if the guy has the POTENTIAL to be that guy. If you don't have a Quarterback, you have nothing in this league. If Tannehill is there at 8, he SHOULD be the pick, no doubt about it. The only guys I would even consider taking over Tanny at 8 would be the obvious 4, Luck, RG3, Kalil and Claiborne, even though I'd probably still take him over MC.

Tannehill is the only player in the Top 10 where the BPA strategy DOES NOT APPLY. He is NOT a top 10 player at the moment, but the talent is definitely there. Franchise QB trumps BPA every single time. That being said, we NEED to come away with a TOP TEN player OR Ryan Tannehill at #8, it's just that simple. No Luke Kuechly. No Riley Reiff. No David DeCastro. No Coby Fleener. Those guys are very good players, no doubt about it, but they are NOT TOP TEN players or POTENTIAL FRANCHISE QUARTERBACKS, which is what you HAVE to come away with in the Top 10. THAT is your draft strategy right there. That is all.

How exactly do you know that Tannehill has the talent to be a franchise QB? Because some media draft analyst said it and all his fellow media analyst buddies agree with him?

You might want consider that Tannehill was recruited to Texas A&M as a QB but wasn't good enough to even be a backup QB there his first two years. Think about that for a bit. Wrap your brain around that fact. Mike Sherman didn't think Tannehill was good enough to be a backup QB on a college team. Get a clue, it wasn't because the QBs ahead of him were great college QBs; it was because TAM needed somebody to play QB, and Tannehill was already on the roster as a WR. :crazy: In case you're unfamiliar with the lay of the collegiate football land, TAM is NOT to be confused with a QB football factory. :crazy:

Media draft analysts love skill players in the draft, especially QBs. Who would be talking about this draft now if NOT for the fact that the media talking heads have stoked up all this anticipation about what team will take Tannehill? What team will trade up to take Tannehill? Tannehill is Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Jimmy Claussen, Blaine Gabbert, etc ... a second-round talent that the media analysts are over-hyping because they have nobody better. What Tannehill has the most POTENTIAL for is to be a big bust.

You want a "POTENTIAL" franchise QB? Try Russell Wilson. If he was 3 inches taller and 20-30 pounds heavier, nobody would be even mentioning Tannhehill: four year starter at 2 different colleges (NC State and Wisconsin), winner in both programs, better passer, better runner, better leader, just short.
 
bpa at 8 looks like decastro. then try to trade ahead of cleveland in the 2nd to grab tannehill.... and there's no way we'll be in the bottom 5 next year.
 
philbin is alot brigher than sparano, thats for sure.

Wilson is a baller!
 
The strategy is to draft a player with a great family... like, say the Ginn family.
 
this is the fifth year GM is drafting an I am still waiting for an explosive offensive player draft pick. Anyone? Bueller? Let philbin draft the offense because FO does not know jack squat about drafting playmakers that score the points and win the games. I dont have a problem with Tannehill if he know how to run and thriw for TDs which he does well.
 
BPA at 8 for me will probably be keuchly... so lets roll.

i still say the target is tannehill. we could have 21 BPA's out there playing, but they are basically just getting in a 60 minute cardio workout, if we don't have a qb.
 
i dont know but something tells me ross wants ireland to listen to philbin, yea ireland might have final say over philbin but i think ross has told ireland, " i want you to get him the players that he wants" or sort of speak, i could be wrong but thats what i believe. This isnt sparano, sparano was never hired by ross so he had no faith in sparano at all even though he backed him. With philbin i think hes all in, which is why he chose philbin over mccoy. I think philbin has more power than we all think.
 
So who does everyone think is the BPA? I'm gonna start with Coples. Yes the same as NFL.com. Does anyone else agree he would/might make our overall d better. The only other players I would be happy with would be Blackmon or Claiborne but can't see either of those happening. I would be happy with Weeden in the 2/3 round, yes he's older but I would rather have a better chance of having an elite QB for say 5 plus years than say an extra 5 years but less of an chance.
