I wanted Edmunds there but never realistically thought Minkah would make it too our pick. The Dolphins did the right thing on draft night:)
I just don't get it. This team is in a division where two teams essentially traded up on draft day and got qb's, with 4 teams overall do that. What does that make on trade ups the last few seasons? Miami is in danger of again trying to compete with a lesser qb in a division with better ones. And what irks me the most is you draft a FS, a season after you sign one. Now you have to hope he can play LB. Only in Miami

He signed up yesterday to pimp Baker who went #1. No point in discussing or explaining this to him.With Tannehill and Brock Osweiler on the roster you should've made the assumption that we weren't picking up a QB in round one. Those other teams who traded up are in desperate need for a QB and we aren't. Arguably, our backup QB is more serviceable then their young QB's based solely on experience.
Fitz is a can't miss pick! The kid has played Slot Corner, Nickel Corner, and the safety position. He's going to be the most versatile player in our secondary and I see him playing a ton. Keep in mind that outside of Howard, Jones, and McCain no one else can be relied on at this point. He's a future pro bowl player and keep in mind he's in a elite group of defenders (Woodson and Patrick Peterson) who have won top defensive player and the top corner award. Kid's a stud! Can cover man vs man, cover zone, blitz, tackle, from every position in the secondary. I'm glad we didn't take the risk of drafting a QB this early. There is later in the draft and there's next year also. Tanne and Brock will be fine for this upcoming year.
Baker Mayfield plays for Cleveland. We still have to read about him? From people who registered yesterday? Enough. Enough. He's not a Dolphin and won't be.
The draft couldn't have gone any better for us. Miami badly needed a guy to step in and play free safety -- the TJ McDonald experiment was a failure -- and a premium playmaker fell right into our laps at that very position. And we're somehow upset about this? We just got a top talent at an important position of need and people are upset that we didn't wind up with the guy who went #1 overall. Unbelievable. I'm going to lose my ****.

I know I said this elsewhere, but if Minkah turns into our Ed Reed, this will end up being a franchise-defining pick. I also wanted Mayfield, but he went number 1 overall. There’s no way he was ever a realistic option. Instead, we may have just gotten a generational safety. There’s no way this can be seen as a bad pick.
