MERGED: RUMOR-Dolphins trade for Lions Avril (UPDATE: FALSE)

[DefensiveEnd76]

If it's true then we're looking at free safety or the best TE on the board in Round 2 imo. Henne needs a playmaking Tight End and we also need a guy in the deep secondary

 

[dolfan_101]

Saftey then TE???

 

[Canadianfishfan]

remember it's still a rumour.. but who is this guy.. never heard of him.

we certainly are NOT the Jets.. no sexy names being added that's for sure.

Rumour is also that we're looking at Kindle.. Please God.. No broken players

 

[bigchub22]

Thats great. Love this news gives us even more flexibility now....man this is fun

 

[DefensiveEnd76]

And that isn't to mention we need a Nose Tackle and more depth along the o-line- specifically Offensive Tackle

 

[ecudol-fan]

Is he a 3-4 OLB? If so gives us a lot of flexibility.

solid, solid pick up. Only 24. Played out of position in Detriot but still made some plays. 5 1/2 sacks and 3 FF. Should do well at OLB. 6'3 260 and runs in the high 4.6's

 

[J Tes]

Also i wouldnt be surprised if Miami moved down again to recoup the pick. If not i'm guessing FS and wouldn't be shocked if they target TE Dennis Pitta in round 3

 

[SizzlingFins04]

good pick up if true.. We traded Ted Ginn for Cliff Avril if it goes down :)

 

[CO-Gator]

So we basically turned Ted Ginn into Cliff Avril.

I wonder if this trade is a foreshadow that Smiley will be gone and they'll re-coup the pick. If so, great trade. It's a need and they got it.

They're either going FS or WR here, I think.

Wow I would like this

 

[finomenal]

6'3", 251, 4.51 speed, 36 1/2" vert, 4.31 on the short shuttle..I wonder if he's strong enough to play SOLB though..he had 17 reps on the bench press.

 

[FinsGonnaRock06]

and that ^^^^ puts a smile on my face Ginn or Avril Hmmmmmmmmmm?

 

[finomenal]

He also has OLB experience from college.
