****Justin Herbert Super Thread****

Joe Burrow QB, College Player


Pro Football Talks' Mike Florio reports the Dolphins are attempting to acquire the No. 3 pick in order to make the Bengals a Godfather offer for the No. 1 pick.

Per Florio, "The Dolphins believe that a potential Godfather offer to the Bengals for the first overall pick would be even harder to refuse if the Dolphins offer both No. 3 and No. 5 as part of the package. That’s the primary purpose of the Miami effort to finagle No. 3 from Detroit." Previously ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the Bengals have declined the Dolphins' efforts to move up to No. 1. It's unlikely we see that stance change, although two top-five picks would certainly be enticing.

Has to be smoke. As much as I like Burrow this just seems silly. He isn't Peyton Manning.

Let's play with the idea that we are looking to grab #3 to make a "Godfather" offer...what do we think that would look like?

Could #3, #5 and a 2021 2nd get 2020 #1? Is that too much to offer?

OK, and……..?

Too much for my taste unless its Trevor Lawrence.

Just 3 and 5 alone gives the Bengals a surplus in value that equates something like a top 15 pick.

Can't wait until 2pm when yet another report comes out that we are trading the whole draft to the Giants for #4....

 

[Snake Plissken]

Kiper just changed his mind, pronounced everything as smoke screens, snd predicted that we will take Tua.

Another smokescreen

Breer: 'I Can't Find Anyone' Who Believes Dolphins Draft Tua Tagovailoa at No. 5

The Miami Dolphins may not draft Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after all.
"I can't find anyone inside the league who believes Miami is taking Tagovailoa at No. 5—which could mean that GM Chris Grier's put up a tremendous smokescreen," Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated wrote.
Breer noted "there have been rumblings" the Dolphins and Los Angeles Chargers, who have the No. 6 pick, "may pass on the position altogether at those spots and address tackle needs instead."
On the surface, taking potential franchise quarterbacks makes sense for Miami and Los Angeles.
The Dolphins haven't won a playoff game since the 2000 campaign and have largely been afterthoughts in the AFC East while Tom Brady dominated for the New England Patriots. However, Brady is no longer on the Patriots, and there is a vacancy for a new quarterback to emerge as the top option in the division.

As for the Chargers, Philip Rivers joined the Indianapolis Colts after starting every single game for the AFC West team during the last 16 years. If there was ever a time to start over at the position with a new rookie who could occupy the spot for seasons to come, it would be now.
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller projected the Dolphins to select Tagovailoa and the Chargers to take Herbert in his most recent mock draft.
Still, Breer's suggestion that both teams could take offensive tackles is also notable.
Football Outsiders ranked the Dolphins' offensive line as the worst run-blocking unit in the league and 28th-best pass-blocking unit in the league last season. The Chargers were better but have room for improvement at 13th-best in run blocking and ninth-best in pass protection.
There are a number of potential candidates for both teams to select in the top 10, as Miller projected Iowa's Tristan Wirfs, Alabama's Jedrick Wills Louisville's Mekhi Becton, Georgia's Andrew Thomas, Houston's Josh Jones and USC's Austin Jackson in the top 20.

Adam Beasley says the Herbert to Miami talk has picked up considerably today.

This is fantastic if true...the smokescreen that is.

In what world would Miami telegraphing their pick help them out, given their draft position? It only benefits them to make the world think they like everything and everybody EXCEPT one guy. That's what has happened.

How much has it worked is to be determined. If anything these rumors have made me more positive we are drafting Tua, not less. -And this was from a guy who thought they were going Love for a long time.

I hope I'm right.
