Cheers all, first time poster on St. Pattys day so be lenient lol had a few, given this some thought

LT: Adam Goldberg(RFA can be had)/ Staley(rookie)
RT: Hadnot/Toledo
C: Lehr(UFA)/Kalil(rookie)
RG: Shelton/Alabi
LT: Carey



2 free agent pickups but Goldberg is a RFA think all we have to do is sign to an offer sheet and see if the Rams match(no compensation) 2 draft picks (prob if we trade down and get an extra pick both projected late 1st early second rnds) leaves the door open to draft Stanton and still address other needs (secondary?) lol


just a thought bash me if u want
 
Where do you think Staley will be picked? 9 seems too high, and I'm pretty sure he won't be there at 40. Do you forsee a trade?

I don't know about Goldberg. There has to be a reason the Vikings traded him after he started 12 games for them in 2005 for only a 7th round pick in 2008 and for the Rams to not even place a 7th round tender on him?

BTW, Goldberg is a RT not a LT.
 
My dream line:

LT - Alabi (I hear the rumors of his potential)
LG - Hadnot/Toledo
C - Kalil
RG - Shelton
RT - Carey

I can live with this line if Alabi is the answer . . . if not, taking a Levi Brown wouldn't depress me at all. Joe Staley as well. I know getting Kalil will be tuff, personally I would much rather trade drown. Aaron Sears is a possiblity too.
 
all is good was looking for some insight i kinda like it if u thinbk better let me know

Alabi is a tackle. He doesn't seem to built for a Gaurd spot.

I see a few problems with this scenario. First, Lehr is a guard, has he ever played center? Second, Goldberg hasn't really proven to be a great player, why are the Rams letting him go after only one season and why does noone else want him??? Really, the rest of your plan is very good. Moving Shelton back to RG (or keeping him there) is a must. Staley at LT would be good but he's rated so high I doubt we can get him unless it's in the first round and I don't want to select him that high. So, here's MY solution which is very similar but has us drafting OT help:

LT - Alibi/Allen Barbre, OT, Missouri Southern
LG - Hadnot/Jacox
C - Samson Satele, C, Hawaii/Hadnot
RG - Shelton/Toledo
RT - Carey/Gabe Hall, OT, Texas Tech

GO PHINS~!

You beat me to the two points you made. I am not big on Goldberg and he is a RT. I rather get a LT in the draft.

I like this scenario better. I think Hadnot would produce better as a LG than as C. I like Satele and the Dolphins have expressed interest on him. I have not heard much about Gabe Hall.. update please. Do you think Alabi is ready to start. He still needed to gain weight and strength. Hopefully he is, he has a lot of potential talent.

Hall is a converted tight end. He's athletic and quick and that's why I like him at the tackle spot. Here's a player bio:

I believe he's a good late round pick or maybe even FA pick later on. I don't know if Alibi is ready to start but I don't think the Phins have much other choice short of the draft, based on last year, Shelton clearly isn't the answer.
 
Unless it's a smokescreen or something, if we get an Olineman with our #9 pick, there's a good chance it will be Joe Staley from Central Michigan. His 40 yard dash time of 4.7-something is DAMN good for somebody who is 6'5" 302 lbs. If we could also somehow pick up Ben Grubbs as a guard in the 2nd round, I bet Hudson Houck would give thanks to the football gods and be in hog heaven.

I like this: "Compares To: Ross Verba, Detroit Lions … Staley's foot speed can rival that of Oakland's Robert Gallery, but he plays with much better aggression … Like Verba, Staley shows great fire and aggressiveness in his play … He has the vision and alertness to pick up stunts and the foot speed to easily neutralize edge rushers … Like Verba, Staley needs to add more bulk to play left tackle at the next level, but his strength and speed are great assets that will make him ideal protecting the quarterback's blind side."

"03/16/07 - Former Central Michigan left tackle Joe Staley had an impressive pro day workout on Thursday and the Dolphins, who have strong interest in him, were on hand, according to scout John Murphy of Yahoo! Sports. The 6-foot-5, 305-pound Staley, a former tight end, was timed around 4.8 in the 40-yard dash and also had great times in agility drills. Staley also had a 32-inch vertical jump and a 9-foot-9 broad jump. He opted not to bench press after doing 27 reps at the combine "That was probably one of the best all-around workouts I've seen by a big tackle in recent years," a veteran offensive line scout told Murphy. "He (Staley) moves around like a defensive back: light on his feet and just great movement skills and agility. "My personal assessment would be that kid does not last past the Top-20 picks. Just too much ability and the potential to lock down a left tackle spot for the next 10 years." I've been told by several people for a while now that this the guy the Dolphins want at left tackle, not Penn State's Levi Brown. Brown is slipping and is viewed by a lot of people as more of a right tackle. Does that mean the Dolphins won't take Brown? No. But I'm told he's nowhere near worth the ninth pick in this draft. - Palm Beach Post"



He compared pretty well versus Levi Brown:

I would definitely be ecstatic if the Phins selected Staley. Then we could select Barbre in the 4th round and we'd have two potential starting LT's on the roster.
