Major Change in Fin's Draft Direction Underway Right Now

Why would a guy lie about this sort of pointless stuff anyway?

ROFL...This post is classic. Some "fake" talent evaluators calling other "fake" talent evaluators out.

All of "us" (on this board) are rank amateurs. No one here is better than another, certainly not good enough to be taken as seriously as some take themselves.

Football is a game. The draft is a game inside the game. You "draft experts" are just "gamers", nothing more.

Stop taking yourselves so damn seriously. No one else with half a brain does, I can assure you.

Good stuff here. Sorry, don't have time to read through all the posts on this thread, but I am really glad to see the interest. This story has real legs now folks. A major shift has occured and I think many of you will be surprised when I feel more comfortable about leaking the name. And no, it wont be like the 2000 KD Kolesho fiasco...I am sure the few other insiders around here will have a laugh at that.

I did see a few people attack me on this thread, which is fine but I want to reiterate that I am not an amateur talent scout, i don't fly on my own dime to scout players, and I have sat in the war rooms with 45 seconds on the clock and the head coach turns to you and says, "give me a name." Some others on here do fine work, such as CK, but always remember they are amateur. They are well intentioned, but sort of like the local band that never leaves the crowds they draw playing in their garage. I do this for a living (not lucrative) but I get by. I take this very seriously and my credibility very seriously. All I want is to bring some Fin fans the news I heat, when I hear it (and trust me I WILL here it before anyone on here). I am not even charging you for it, so if you feel threatened like many do on this thread, come talk to me when the head man turns to you with under a minute in the 4th round, and says whose it gonna be kid? That my friend, if you ever get that chance, is an amazing feeling. Even if it makes you go outside and throw up 4 times after the round is over.

Tend to agree with Geaux here.....

We all (even team scouts) have thier own ways of looking at players...Things they like to see, things they dont..

I once heard someone say opinions are like a$$holes....Everyone has one!

I think that applies here! :lol:

Hello guys. I just wanted to alert you to some very close-hold information I have been receiving from my sources. I think my credentials speak for themselves on this board, and I have often tried to bring you information that the rest of you do not have access to.

You have made 7 posts and your credentials speak for themselves. :lol:

Hey guys. Thanks for the interest. This is why I come to Fins forums, always had a high opinion of Miami fans. Have been a life-long Redskins fan, but in my business you can't play favorites. I research, I work out in the community, I measure, and I try to get an overall feeling of an athlete before I make a grade.

The information I shared yesterday still holds true. There are some major adjustments going on amongst Dolphin Brass as we speak. Had an excellent dinner last night with a colleague from the Vikings circle. Had a nice ribeye roast with mashed potatoes, 3-4 dinner rolls and house salad with extra croutons. Finished the meal off with Apple Pie and some sweet tea. As for our discussion, he mentioned a few very interesting ideas about where the Dolphins are going: speed, speed, speed he said. While the Tuna is known to like bigger and stronger, there is a realization amongst the staff that the Fins must get faster, especially on defense. Looking for explosive, fast twitch muscle guys, with a good gluteal base. I rewatched some Fins games today, and was looking at Merling and Starks specifically. Starks had an impressive year, but Merling needs to develop his pop from the core-strap (an insiders term to measure pelvic and hip explosion).

Someone mentioned that I concentrate alot of pelvic areas and buttocks, but the reason why is that is a big measure for me when I grade a gut out. Pelvic/hip snap is an under discussed aspect of explosive football speed/power. Big glutes, well defined hammies, and lean muscle through the pelvis is the 3rd most important indicator I use when calculating "the method." This is 17 variable composition of numerical variables that I developed with my uncle. I will put "the method" against any talent evaluator out there.

I will explain "the method" in more detail soon and share some of my expereinces in war rooms around this time of year in the near future. Slow day on the news front, sending this via a Dell from the bus station. Making a quick trip down to Charlottesville tonight to see if I can get some personal measuring sessions with Nate Collins and Denzell Burrell tomorow. This is the unglamorous side of this business. Long bus trips at times, bad fast food, showing up on a campus in the dead of winter at 2am with an overnight back, a stop watch, and an Accu Measure Fat Caliper. But I do love it, watching these young guys run fast and explode in the weightroom in front of me with 225 racked and pinned, all for a chance at a dream. I once had that dream, that fire, but now I just hope to find that diamond in the rough. That guy that everyone always told no. Livestrong boys.

Hello guys. I just wanted to alert you to some very close-hold information I have been receiving from my sources. I think my credentials speak for themselves on this board, and I have often tried to bring you information that the rest of you do not have access to. I never flaunt my connections, as you know, but I have some very interesting information coming out of the Fins organization:

In the last week, the Fins have undergone a major direction change in who they were targeting for their first round pick. There was a about an 80% chance they would go with a certain player; however, according my insider information, it looks as if this player has slid considerably. Not off the radar, but another player has emerged as "that dude." Now, I am not at liberty to divulge the names of these players, but I can assure you something big is going down and if nothing changes between now and the draft, you will hear a name that has been on NOBODY's radar as a likely Fin pick. I will fill you in more as more information comes to me. Moves are being made and the Trifecta is way outside the box on this one. I didn't see it coming at all, and I am the most experienced talent evaluator on this site. Godspeed. More to come, hold your hoses, this is going to be a crazy ride.
