For the most part...

I heard the Broncos are willing to trade up.

The problem though is our position at 13. Who will be available worth trading up for?

Jeanty and Warren will both likely be gone or they might trade up even higher than us for one of them.

If we can trade down to the 20 range then my targets would be Grant Zabel and Harmon.

read a few years ago, if a team has ONE player in mind, they may move up two spots. In this case, Miami would trade with SF to get ahead of Dallas. Or, at the last minute move up quite a bit to get a targeted guy with the trading team on the clock. Rarely does a team trade up because they'll take 1 of 3 guys.

In this case it seems someone would have to fall to #13 to get a likely trade. Not certain there are enough 'elite' guys (and one Miami DOESN'T want) to last until #13.

Maybe Loveland? I know the rumors are the Chargers want him. Denver jumping the Chargers? I could see that, although 13 seems high for Loveland.

Maybe trade downs this year will be "discounted." Meaning lower compensation in return than most years.

I don’t know who we'll draft at 13 if we keep the pick. my preference would be CB because the drop off is big after the top 3 guys. We can get a good starting DT and IOL at 48/98 but we'll see which way they go.

Here's my big prediction though .......announcers: "The Miami Dolphins are now on the clock. Let's go to commercial"

Book it cause it will happen

Lol only threatening to quit.

Unlike years past connecting the dots, this year, was harder than expected. Last year from the All-Star games on the draft related info was in abundance. Info on Miami was just about everywhere.

This year hasn't been as easy. It been more speculation than actual intel.

The fan base like the OP has stated has been pretty much on the same page with expectations. Unusual for sure but welcomed.

I just hope if both Johnson and Harmon are gone, Miami finds a trade partner to trade down, to be in position to potentially select Zabel. I just don't want to feel like they've reached at #13.

Or quitting for 2 hours

I think that MOST of the Finheaven brothers are on the same page this year-- despite some of the nastier arguments.

We all pretty much agree that we need Offensive and Defensive Linemen more than anything else... then we generally agree that we need defensive backs and the odd offensive weapon player (but most don't want this player drafted early).

Our discussions have mostly been just shadings rather than technicolor differences.

So, we've gotten more locked up on this or that Lineman, or whether we should go OL, DL, CB... or instead DL, OL, CB.

I guess that I'm sort of disappointed. How the heck will we be able to say, "nyah, nyah, nyah, I told you so!" when we are so closely aligned.

I suppose that we can wait for a draft day curveball, but this looks like the easiest draft to predict in many years.

Saw another poster say in another thread that Grier zeros in on a guy weeks ahead and then picks him no matter how the draft goes. I sort of agree. Paul is a prime example. If you followed along, you could see that pick coming from a mile away. Obviously, the problem with this is you have to pick a guy higher than he projected to go. You can't make a guy your 100% pick if there’s only a slight chance he will be there. So by my logic, that guy this year is Barron at 13.

Does the knock on Johnson's speed concern you at all?

it does to a point and also the fact he had that injury. This is why my pick is Barron if they’re both there but Johnson can play for sure and CB #4 is not close to the top 3. If the medical checks on Johnson he will go high.

 

[Birdmond]

To continue with a theme... I don't disagree with a lot of that. I, too, would go WR before the other skill positions because of Hill's contract situation in '26.

The QB I prefer is McCord though... he's a quick processing, throws to a spot guy-- like Tua, except that he's bigger and more durable. With McCord, I dont think we'd need to change the offense.

We don’t NEED to change the offense for McCord but what are the odds the offense changes anyway next season? Pretty high IMHO. Also McDaniel stated in an interview this is not his offense. This is an offense he put together for Tua.

I can’t see Harmon going top 12 so he'll be there. If we go DT it'll most likely be Harmon or Grant

Who knows? I'm sure he has a list of players he likes and then prioritizes it based on who is available.

It would be obvious if Grier wasn’t making the picks. Don’t like CB at 13.
