We all know that the QB is the most important piece to a successful franchise, we all know that bringing in a 36 year old Green is a stop gap. Carr is as good as Joey was, no doubt about it so he's not the answer and Dante is awfully quite these days so...... Why not pay the price and move up to take the franchise QB everyone seems to think J.R. is???
All right, beat me up!:dolphins:
 
Becuase the price is way to high for number 1 pick I would never ever want miami to do it. Plus this belongs in draft forum.
 
Why JR? Whats so special about him other than he can throw the ball a mile? Remember he is only a junior and I don't know if he is mature enough for the NFL game yet?? Outside of his arm, what can he do for NFL team?

All the talk in this forum about Carr=Joey, Green being to old, Dante moving on! Isn't this something that needs to be discussed here?

He's the concenses#1 on every board, looks like the real deal...Why not Bite the bullit and start (continue) rebuilding with the most important part of the puzzle?

because thats a lot to pay for a guy that has a good chance of being a bust.
 
He may be on top of a lot of peeps boards but if Miami had to choose between Russell or Quinn I'd hope they'd take Quinn.
 
I would love to see russell in a fins uniform but I think the price is to high.Muller has put us in a good postion this draft with are 9th overall and 2 second rounders we have addressed the defense somewhat and feel.Offense is the way to go in the draft.I just dont see us trying to Trade up to much of a risk with Russell or Quinn.I feel 1st round quterbacks are a risk all together if they dont pan out they cost you not only the pick but alot of money.Iwould rather see us get Stanton or Edwards in the late second or third.But to answer the question I think you would have to give up the ninth a second and a 3rd and your first next year .Too much for me

Let's see, a few years back..........

Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning, Ryan or Peyton, Peyton or Ryan. They were 1 and 2 going into the draft and we all know how Ryan turned out.

What would it cost? My sanity.


Seriously, for us to move up from #9 to #1 would take the majority of this year's draft and possibly some picks from next year's too. Whether you go by the NFL Draft Value Chart or not, the price is just too high.

Ryan Leaf was an immature headcase. Russell may or may not be immature but he's not a headcase. That's the biggest difference between the two.
 
No way do you draft Russell over Quinn.
One NFL scout said Russell doesn't put enough time in the film room, can't read defenses that well and isn't that hard of a worker.
Quinn will be much better.
 
It would cost way too much moving from 9 to 1.
We need our picks.
Hopefully Miami chooses Quinn over Russell.
