I didnt know if to put this in the draft forum or here. Covers both I think.
We all know by now Satele was traded to the raiders for an undisclosed pic. I am hoping that it was atleast a 3rd or 4th rounder.
Apparently rumors are that the dolphins are not done trying to accumulate as many as 12 picks before draft day to counteract the amount of players ready for FA next season.
The herald reported:
"But I am told by a high-ranking team source, the players the team likes most in the draft will probably be gone in the 10-15 slots. The Dolphins would love to be anywhere in that number.But they are at No. 25. And the players likely to be available there aren't exactly wowing the Dolphins because similar players might also be available five to 10 slots later. So the Dolphins might be interested in trading down."
There are also rumors that other players ex.. Beck,Wilford etc... could be on the trading block.
Armando and a few others feel that fins might trade out of the #25 pick since they can pick up the same quality players a few picks later or early 2nd.
Plus they are assuming that we are going to try to pick up additional picks via trading our players.
As I mentioned earlier, they assume all this wealing and dealing is preperation for next seasons exodus.
WHat if they are not attemtping to amass all these picks for the reason I stated previously, I beleive they actually are trying to pick up another 3-4 picks to allow them to actually move up in the draft somewhere in the pick 10-15?
This will allow them to pick up the player(s) they are specifically targetting, while still mantaining a good steady amount of picks to make up for the the pick or two we have to give up to move up 10 to 15 slots.
What do you think?
