Do Not Disturb- Dolphins Drafts At Work on O

[So Be]

Miami's projected starters on O for 2015.

QB- Tannehill- Phins pick

RB- Miller- Pick

C- Pouncey- Pick

OG- Thomas/Douglas- Picks

OG- Turner- Pick

RT- James- Pick

WR- Landry- Pick

WR- Parker-Pick

LT- Albert- High priced FA

TE- Cameron- High priced FA for maybe 1 year

WR- Stills- Cheap, talented trade pick up

WR- Jennings- One year insurance

Damn, that's 8 starters from our drafts, and it easily could have been 9 if we increased our offer to Clay when we had the chance. I really wanted to keep him. We are at risk on Miller FA but, everyone else of our picks will be back next year as well as Stills. Jennings will be gone, Cameron might be, and we could be left with Albert who could be replaced in 2 years.

Add in our two kickers if ya like.

For me, this is almost the perfect blueprint on building a team with the mix of cap costs and FA used for a few missing pieces. This group still has to prove how good they are but, I'm more excited about our O than I have been in many a year.

The draft is working.


I'll do the D later.

Not for Nothing but Jordan Cameron is a much better fit in this offense and a much better receiving TE than Clay. Only thing Clay does better than Cameron is truck over people...but then Cameron doesn't have to cause he can just out run people. The speed difference between the two is significant.

I think we upgraded the TE position with more speed and size!!!

Those Guard spots are do depressing.

Yeah, I'm wondering why we can't either draft potentially good pro guards or develop the ones we draft. Having question marks on both sides is the biggest concern on the team this season.

You may well be right and I hope you are but, I really liked Clay's play in this O last year. I think Mr. Bill's game planning for him says a lot.

I am going to give Turner and Douglas a chance before getting depressed. All we have gotten so far is a few tweets from OTA's, hard to get a good read from those. We will know a lot more by next week, before it's panic mode time.

Can we at least see them play OG this preseason before rushing to judge.

 

[So Be]

I've read many a post of how we have to build through the draft, don't rely on high priced FA's, and let the young guys play.

Now, when it appears that is what we are doing at OG, you don't want it with no one here ever seeing Turner or Douglas play a down.

Can't have it both ways. So, which is it?

 

[Tannchise]

next year those 1 or 2 of those guards will be a high-priced FA......maybe even by the end of this week

I think that a great job was done in building this O with mostly draft picks. If an OG is the only complaint, even better.

I'm fine giving turner a shot. I do however think i've seen all I want to ever see of dallas thomas.
