I think this a smart move bye Ireland.Exploring all posibilities and planning ahead.Doesn't mean he has to move up,but knowing ahead of time what it will cost is heads up!
dolphins have engaged talks with the raiders and browns

I agree. Winston wants a multi-year contract, and the Dolphins (from what I've read) want him for one year. This may be a way for them to let him know that they won't do it, so take the money for a year, or go somewhere else. Also, from all indications, the Chiefs want multiple picks for Brandon Albert. If the Dolphins are only willing to give up one pick (say the second pick in the second round), they may be trying to let the Chiefs know that they're willing to get their tackle by other means.

if miami doesnt sign winston or trade for albert before the draft..........its pretty obvious we'll trade up for a OT. (probably with Oakland to make sure we get one of the tackles.
I have been harping on a move up for Dee but I am all for sticking at #12 and trading back into the first -> if we move up I want a three down starter PB potential not Austin

It makes sense with ireland's ineptitude that after the last 5 years where he never showed any tendency but "trade down" and look for "value", that NOW he would go off on a tangent and overspend and try to move up for a OL, of all things.
The man is what he is. He has a cornfed fetish that will not be satisfied by normal means. He thinks LT is more important than QB. He wouldn't move up to insure getting Tannehill last year and risked losing him, but now move heaven and earth to get a lineman. Alternative universe football.
i hope this is all just an April Fool's joke.

Which is basically what Ireland said last year when they drafted him. "No, we drafted Martin to be our starting RT..."
I doubt that. To move up teams will demand one of our 2nd round picks. Plus all 3 LTs will be gone by Cleveland's pick. We need to jump ahead of Philadelphia and Detroit to have a chance at one of the top 3 LTs in this draft.
I don't know why but the bolded part just made me spit out my diet Mountain Dew. Lol

Ummm....Martin was not graded out as a LT because he was drafted and utilized by us to be a RT...he was a rookie last year, and didn't even start the entire year at LT, but only after Jake was confirmed injured and out. I feel like he performed admirably (was no revolving door by any means). Let's give the guy a chance to see what he's got this coming season...

Tua time!
if martin spends time in the weight room and gets stronger in his upper body this offseason that should help his play tremendously...his biggest issue as a rookie was what it was as a prospect he just wasn't strong enough in the upper body and core...he also though doesn't have great left tackle feet...kind of a tweener with the feet...not a move you off the ball right tackle either although he's got some nasty in him and he'll play til the whistle...kid competes...i don't think had he stayed in school however he would be giving any of the top 3 ot's in this class a run for their money...probably the 4th ot off the board
if they trade up just to take a ot i'll be through
