NFL DRAFT & RUMORS MEGATHREAD

[MARINO1384]

Of course. Some of the good teams will add better value in the 20's.

Miami is boxed into moving a Tackle inside or taking a DT. That's less than ideal.

Draft wisely, draft talent...Dolphins don't have that luxury. (Grier Effect)

We run an outside zone our guards are always tackles. Traditional college guards rarely lack the athleticism to run an outside zone. If they do they are a Quentin Nelson type.

 

[hoops]

I hope Kader is signed to a multi-year deal and not let him walk. He may be better at NB, but he isn't bad on the outside. With him, Ramsey, and Barron, they could mix things up nicely.

Kaders play has fell off since his rookie year imo. More ideally a 4th corner type. I’d like to do better top 3 as my plan A’s

I think they tendered him right of refusal which makes sense. No way should he be tendered with a 2nd round rate or something

 

[MrClean]

I think Daniel’s was drafted as a pivot coming out so he could definitely be the plan b center

And of course there’s eich

Daniels was primarily a center at Iowa. His last two seasons there, he was the regular starter at center. I'd like to see Andrew Meyer develop as a backup C, so if Brewer ever did get hurt, the guards could be left in place.
In 2017, Daniels was graded the second-best center in the country behind Frank Ragnow. Daniels was graded the best run-blocking C in the country, though.

Yeah he kinda was a bust as a pro til he made the move to guard and kinda rescued his career I guess. But I agree with you he can play anywhere on the interior although I do think he doesn’t change the finesse oline in Miami trend. As a right guard I’d prefer something with a little more lead in em. But is what it is

Last year, he had his lowest allowed passer rating in his coverage, 79.3. His yards/target were the same as his rookie year, 6.1, which is good.

I would also take the trade. We need as many young cheap starters as we can get.

Nice. Really like that.

Yeah I don’t know I saw him miss some tackles in space I’d like to see my nickel make to limit rac etc.

I don’t like him as a boundary he’s more a nickel for me. But as my 4th he could be a primary backup for both. Which I think ideal world would be the case.

I kinda wonder if Miamis gonna bank on cam smith this year. Guess the draft will tell.

He played LG as a rookie and played well. In his second season, he played the first half at C and played okay, then moved back to LG and continued to play well. Chicago moved him to RG in 2021, and he was very good there. And when he signed with Pitt in 2022, they kept him there for all three seasons. I don't think Daniels was ever remotely a bust, no matter where he played.

 

[SF Dolphin Fan]

Kenneth Grant seems to be higher on this board than the consensus I’m seeing. Everything I see says late 1. He had a ras of 8.67 I think it was after the pro day. The comp is Dexter Lawrence who was a 9.86 and did 36 reps of 225. Grant did 27. Chasing Dexter Lawrence is hard. If you can get him by all means pick 13 is well worth it but Grant has inconsistent effort on tape. Flashes some serious stuff but can this coaching staff get it all out of him? I have my doubts

San Francisco has the same defensive line issues as Miami. I wouldn't be surprised if both Graham and Grant are off the board before the Dolphins pick. Maybe Harmon or Nolen?

I know that might be little high for both. Ideally, you'd trade down a few spots.

Maybe he was the bright spot in a bad Chicago oline. Idk

I didn’t follow him with Pitt. I thought he was with Chicago the whole time.

Teams letting him get away for 3 and 24 Achilles or no seems kinda odd why

Kader sucks out wide.

Kohou's missed tackle % increased in the last two seasons. He was fine there as a rookie. That is something he needs to work on.

 

[rent this space]

with as many holes as Miami has, they can draft BPA at 13 and still fill a need

 

[hoops]

Tackling is a primary requirement with nickels. Especially slot types. Must limit rac.

He was quite a find as a udfa hell might have been the best pick of the whole draft weekend lol which says something doesn’t it. Did better with a udfa add than we do in the draft. But I see a player the more he plays the more his warts show up.

 

[MrClean]

Kader sucks out wide.

No, he doesn't. He's just better at NB. The notion that he is a lost cause on the boundary is a flawed narrative.
I compared his yards/target at both and passer rating in his coverage and neither of them indicated "sucks".
I don't know where I found it now, so please don't ask me for it. Believe it or not. Disregard it or not.
