Dolphin chatter 3/18 from Barry Jackson

[tay0365]

Unecessary sarcasm. He said FIRST round.
No one knows what Hickey's plans are, but I think he's looking to upgrade LB play on this team. Thats a much bigger need than DB.

Especially if you consider the type of talent Mosley could be.

If a team's OL sucks (like Miami's) then what good is a #1 WR or TE if they do not have time to run their routes. What good is a RB if he if is tackled in the backfield. Bottom-line the Phinz must fix the OL ASAP (it doesn't matter what round or rounds they do it) anything else is pointless, it's just basic football 101 IMHO. I have no idea why a few people on this site do not see how important having a good OL is and trip-out about not picking OL high in the draft. I blame Capt ball watcher "Dave Hyde" that dipstick has no football IQ and IMHO has poisoned the minds of many Phinz fans against picking offensive lineman high in the draft. Capt ball watcher "Dave Hyde" says since they do not score TD's then you should not draft OL high......but Capt ball watcher just doesn't understand that if the OL sucks chips your play makers can not make plays (or score) period. Last year's Phinz OL was simply AWFUL.

Logic is lost on some people. Drafting a rb in the first would be beyond stupid for us this year. Same with WR and Clay is serviceable enough. It's like some people didn't see Tannehill get smashed into the earth enough last year

yes, the OL was one of the worst in the nfl last year. so bad, that imo pretty much any turnover will substantially improve it. but you guys want to overreact and dump a ton of resources into it like that will make our offensive woes go away.

if we draft OL in the first round we will have 3 former first round linemen and our highest skill position player will be 3rd rounder mike wallace. i would trade 3 first round OL for a first round talent at WR, RB and TE in a heartbeat. the OL can be comprised of quality FA pickups and mid round picks. let that be the unit to overachieve, where 40 time and ball skills do not matter.

Good lord

it's not logic, nor is it fact. it's your opinion.

No... there's logic behind any reasoning people use for anything lol. Please explain how drafting a skill position is more important than OL at this moment. Troy Niklas would be a great pick, just not in round 1. He can block and catch. Same with a rb, but drafting one in the first is ludicrous. Wr would be even crazier.

I didn't know there were sarcasm rules. If the BPA in round one is an OL then take him. if we didn't draft at positions that Ireland failed with in past
we would really limit our options

no thanks to the OL in the first round. we've done that twice in the last 6 years and it's had little impact on the success of this team, the same as zach martin or any OL will have if we take them at 19.

And they are both Pro Bowlers. Can't say that for too many other picks.....

...I don't know anything about Sims but i really like Mason. The most important thing is finding a back that can play every down. That means can pass protect, catch and run for short yardage. I understand the league is not an every down RB league anymore...

Sankey IMO is the most complete RB in the draft.

The only sarcasm rule is; Sarcasm Rules!

I don't like it but we are going to have to hit on 2 OL in this draft

never said this team doesnt need OL or that it's not important. i just wouldnt do it in the first round. i trade up for evans or ebron or trade down. i do not sit at 19 and take zack martin and go 7-9 again next year.
