Thinking about McClain getting picked before #12 has me kind of pissed. I personally think that he is the player the Dolphins need to bring in here and there couldn't be a better player for the team needs in round 1.

He has everything you could ask for and would be an impact player and possibly a future leader on this team.

I'm with everyone who really wants a #1 receiver but if we continue with our ILB's, it will be very difficult for our defense to improve.

Now this brings me to this scenario. Do the Dolphins try to make a move up to grab him, or do they just let the cards fall into place?

I think our guys need to do something to get him. He has the potential to be elite in the NFL.

I'm bringing this up because from what I've read on here and other sites is that McClain has a good chance of not being there at #12.
 
i dont think they move up, if he is gone they will try and trade back............

Who do you think will draft him before 12?
 
I don't like trading up in general. if you miss on the pick, it sets you back even farther. I say wait unless you are absolutely sure about a player.
there is a good chance that McClain falls to 12. imo, the Jaguars and the Broncos are the only teams that might pick him ahead of Miami. even though they both need good LB's, I can see them both going offense in the first.
Marshall will most likely be gone so Bryant makes sense there. the Jags have already mentioned taking Tebow, and if they really want him, this will probably be their only chance.
 
i do but dont think the fo thinks the same way as we do,

Like rent this space mentions Jags and Broncos. Possibilities. I guess looking at the teams it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to move up but if he slips away we are gonna miss out on an impact player.
 
I would have no problem taking Spiller at 12 and there is a very good chance he will be there

The whole Marshall leaving the Broncos thing worries me a bit. I think it is too easy to say he will leave which will open them up for Bryant. I completely get it though. And like you mention they could very well use McClain so you never know what they do.

The Tebow in Jacksonville has me shaking my head, for their sake. It could very well happen, but I think it would be a huge mistake for them.

Lets hope they make that mistake...
 
yea Spiller would be a solid grab. I guess I'm just sold on McClain and how he can impact this defense.

Personally dont see either drafting him, at this moment in time. Jaguars have no pass rush at all and with Derrick Morgan still on the board I would expect them to go for him (or maybe Tebow). Broncos have just re-signed DJ Williams and could potentially go for a nasty ILB pairing of Williams and McClain. But with the Marshall sitution seeming like he will be traded then they will need to go for a WR, which would be Bryant. Also the Broncos had far more pressing needs on defense going into last years draft and they still went for Moreno early, so they are tricky to judge.

Its all difficult to know at this stage however. We will have a better idea when the FA begins.
 
the only problem I see is if Bryant, Spiller and McClain are all gone. I still wouldn't trade up, though

You're right, it could very well happen. One scenario I worry about is Cleveland drafting Dez Bryant at #7, if that happens, I think we are screwed because that leaves Denver with very little options but to draft Rolando McClain at #11.

One thing we could hope for is Denver trading Brandon Marshall to a team who picks lower than us. Than that may force their hand in drafting Dez Bryant with thier first draft pick, but once again, it would all be moot if Cleveland drafts Dez Bryant.

The best scenario to ensure we can get McClain is to leapfrog Denver. its just a matter of how bad our FO wants him. I'm not in favor of losing draft picks by trading up, that is for teams that can make luxury picks and we are not there yet. Although McClain is the ideal stud ILB any team would covet, I don't think there should be any need to panic because I think their are some quality LBs in this year's draft that will be available for us.

Great point. I didn't consider that man.

Yea a lot, if not all of the mock's I've seen have them (Browns)* grabbing Joe Haden. It is a good possibility of any team before us wanting Dez Bryant's skill set added to their teams arsenal.

Now this changes everything!!!
 
Honestly I can see Denver drafting McClain easily. He's regarded as a superior LB product and they need LB's. Their new DC might want a nice shiny new toy to play with. Honestly if McClain is there at 10 I'd love for us to trade up and get him. Going up 2 spots shouldn't be that expensive right?
