anyone got intel on who's going (beside Hickey)? Tannenbaum? Marino? Aponte? do we have any FH eyes on?
Senior Bowl Strike Team
- Thread starter johngarryvo
- Start date
Here is a few thoughts from Walker..
Defensive help: It’s no secret the Dolphins need help on defense. This is a group that absolutely collapsed in the final six weeks under defensive coordinator Kevin Coyle. Miami could use help at all three levels, including defensive tackle, linebacker and cornerback. One big name I’m keeping a close eye on is Washington defensive tackle Danny Shelton. He could be a target for the Dolphins at No. 14 overall. Miami's run defense was ranked No. 24 in the NFL, and the team could lose starter Jared Odrick in free agency.
Local flavor: Seemingly every couple of seasons you hear of a big NFL talent that was discovered in South Florida who got away from the Dolphins. Recent examples include New Orleans Saints Pro Bowl tight end Jimmy Graham and Indianapolis Colts Pro Bowl receiver T.Y. Hilton, who played at nearby colleges but were overlooked by Miami. This year’s local talent includes four players from the University of Miami: tight end Clive Walford, linebacker Denzel Perryman, receiver Philip Dorsett, and cornerback Ladarius Gunter. The Hurricanes (6-7) underachieved this past season, but had good talent. The Dolphins should know these local players as good or better than any other team.
Quarterbacks: The Dolphins do not have a backup quarterback under contract. Veteran Matt Moore, who made $4 million last season, is a pending free agent in March, and Miami doesn’t have a legitimate prospect behind starter Ryan Tannehill. The Dolphins could look to the draft to find their No. 2 quarterback. It wouldn’t be a high selection. But several middle- or late-round quarterbacks are in this game, including Baylor’s Bryce Petty, Oregon State’s Shane Mannion, and Colorado State’s Garrett Grayson. These are not big names, but the Dolphins will be in the market this year for quarterback insurance.

#Dolphins assistant GM Eric Stokes is here watching #SeniorBowl practices today.
James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL 33m33 minutes ago
Oregon State QB Sean Mannion has made a few nice throws early in practice. Good size, appears to have a solid arm. I'm intrigued
James Walker @JamesWalkerNFL 24m24 minutes ago
By the way, Washington DT Danny Shelton just threw Marshall OL Chris Jasperse to the ground. #StockUp #SeniorBowl
Ian Rapoport @RapSheet 2h2 hours ago
#UCLA QB Brett Hundley won’t be at @seniorbowl. Been a little banged up from the bowl game, which is too bad. He wanted to be here
Lyons Yellin WWL-TV @LyonsYellin 3h3 hours ago
Just spoke to Jeff Ireland, who was wearing a Miami Dolphins credential, and he said he's spoken to @saints but nothing "official."
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 3h3 hours ago
Why is Jeff Ireland wearing a Miami Dolphins credential at the Senior Bowl?

Baylor's Bryce Petty definitely has a nice deep ball #seniorbowl

Shelton has reportedly been dominane in drills.
Huge and moves exceptionally well.
I would not be opposed to seeing him in a Phins uniform next season.

That was my thought apparently Armando's also- mMaybe we brought him in for a consulting role since he hasn't been officially hired by the Saints yet! LOL

dawn Aponte on site schmoozing agents would be awesome. since she has no talent evaluation ability or role in that area.

Danny Shelton meets with the media. He said he's happy with weight (342 pounds) but wants to get lower.

"Jeff, we're going to need you to leave."
"Can I call my grandma?"
I'm very glad they're sending in the Strike Team.

Even though Mike Tannenbaum doesn't officially start working for the Dolphins until February he's here at the Senior Bowl with the team.
Armando Salguero @ArmandoSalguero 4m4 minutes ago
Next former University of Miami player to perform way better in NFL than he ever did at UM? I'm going with Phillip Dorsett.
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 47m47 minutes ago
Sammie Coates fights the ball. The infatuation is quickly fading.
Austin John @Phinfanalyst 46m46 minutes ago
WRs Ty Montgomery and Sammie Coates have both been VERY disappointing
Omar Kelly @OmarKelly 32m32 minutes ago
Denzel Perryman is triggering fast during inside run drill. Solid work.

Mike Perchick @TheREALPerchick 12m12 minutes ago
Canes WR Philip Dorsett seemingly playing at a different speed as everyone else. Just caught a slant and broke it over the middle
Last update...not sure if anyone is really that concerned about what's happening there yet or maybe this should be in the draft forum so..

Dorsett is someone to watch. Mike Wallace type speed without the me first attitude.
