From where I sit, Miami HAS to take Tannehill if he’s at #8.

Wait until the 2nd or 3rd? Any Dolphin fan will point out all of the 2nd round QB misery the Fins have endured.

Your QB’s have been awful since Pittsburgh Dan.

You really want to wait to draft a QB until Rd 2 or 3…again?

Owners don’t need tob know football, y do people say that, the gm should run the team and the coaches should do the drafting etc. Playing callin and all that….jeff ireland should sit back and make sure joe and mike and kyle r doing what they r suppose to ….that’s how I feel, n the owner should help with money and financial stuff….to be a great owner, hire a great g.m , we got a bomb coaching staff and I really believe the phins will do just fine this yr. Look what they did last yr ….7 and 9 and could of easily been 12 and 4 ….look it up….bad play calling and a few drops from b.marsh….which im glad he’s gone, but let floyd take over that and show bmarsh what he was suppose to do.

In 2 yrs if we need a qb …sure there will be another tannehill in the draft they r allways there, weeden stats spoke for them selves ….he out beat all the top qbs this draft, 5 yrs younger and he’s looking at 1st pick this draft…but now he mature and can battle it out with gerrard and moore on day 1 of training camp…..no other qb should be taking this draft, moore is better than anyone else and he did good and deserves a fresh start this season, just fix the offense wholes and watch him have the best yr of his career….

No tann at 8 , we should grab floyd at 8 id weeden is there in rd 2 grab him otner than that get a rt/rg, and in the 3rd te. / passrusher / fourth te / passrusher / 5th maybe another w.r , 6th corner/saftey / 7th corner / safetey ….fix the offence first and getting tann at 8 will be a dumb move noing hell sit for 2 yrs

nremi85 — Sat, 14 Apr 2012 04:38:36 +0000

I believe. If u can’t get weeden in the 2nd , don’t get a qb….let moore do his thing….fix that line but in rd one take floyd from n.d …he’s a beast….we need a 1 receiver…he can fit that and heartline and bess r nasty, believe it or not I 2atched them play for yrs…they r really good….we need rg/rt. , a w.r , and maybe a t.e for offence and we would be fine ….BEILEVE IN MOORE, BUT IF IN RD 2 WEEDEN IS THERE GRAB HIM, AND FLOYD AT NUMBER 8 ….THAT’S A NO BRAINER …FIX THIS OFFENCE AROUND THE QBS WE GOT AND WATCH THEM DO THERE THING AND MAKE A PLAYOFF RUN….USE A 3RD FOR A PASS RUSHER….NO TANNNEHILL AT 8 THOUGH, DUDE IS NOT WORTH IT, WE GOT MORE Stuff TO FIXon OFFENCE RATHER THAN A QB WHO WILL SIT AND NEED TO LEAARN FOR 3 YRS

C’mon man. Alper, you seriously think Tyrell Johnson looks like the starter for the Dolphins?
And you know this, how?
Quit pretending to know stuff you don’t have a clue about.

With the 8th pick in the 2012 draft, the Miami Dolphins choose kicker I M Clueless from University Duh?!!

For a while I thought that the Dolphins would sign Patriots restricted free agent QB Brian Hoyer. Miami would have .
had e to surrender a #2 pick.

I’m begging you Ireland, don’t trade up for Tannehill or draft him with the #8 pick. He’s not much better tan Foles, Osweiller, Cousins or Wheeden, any of which you can pick up in the 3 rd round with one of your picks. There are so many holes on this team, thanks to you, that you need an impact player to start right away at that 8 pick. Please don’t screw up another draft!

miami did not MISS OUT on matt flynn. they didn’t think he was worth the 10 mil seattle paid him. it’s called VALUE – philbin doesn’t think he’s a franchize qb – why pay him like one?

Team needs:
#1. An OWNER that understands the sport.
#2. A GM that is not an idiot, not anti social, actually has a plan & an eye for talent.
#3. All position players other than a left tackle, center, punter & kicker. (reason: see #2)

I hope they snag Brian Quick from App State. The absolute hidden gem in the WR draft. He would be Top 2 if not had played in FCS. I hope for a Trade Down and get a few more picks. This years draft will have more 3-5 round stars than ever before. I already see About 4 Busts in the Top 10. Statistically WR is least predictable Draft position for talent. In a new West Coast, grab many Players, not a single hope Playmaker. See Packers Receivers List. Every week a different guy led in receptions.

Good thing South Floridians aren’t the Dolphins’ true fan base. SF Fins fans are the WORST — this coming from a REAL Dolphins fan, who lives nowhere near SF. Teams like the Lions, Saints, Seahawks, etc. went through similar droughts, but they still filled seats on Sunday.

Please stop saying SF. In my mind SF = San Francisco

Get Michael Floyd in R1. Take Brandon Weeden in Rd 2. Don’t waste a 1st rounder on a QB if you can’t get Luck or Griffin.

“Take Tannehill at 8, start him 16 and see what he does.”

Even the fools who think he is worth trading up for and getting at #3 admit that there is no way he is ready to start from day 1.

For all the crap Ireland gets, as a scout for talent, he has been miles better than Rick Spielman ever was.

…And Randy Mueller! Maybe lightyears better than Mueller.

All the hatred towards Stephen Ross is unwarranted. He made a rookie mistake and went after Harbaugh before firing Sparano. I agree that being from the business world he should have known that you either fire your manager first or make sure that your employment search is discreet. Given how well Harbaugh has done can you really blame Ross for being so enamored by him? The second reason why he draws so much hatred is because of his seemingly blind loyalty to Jeff Ireland. Miami has a plan(despite what some fans believe) and Ross is waiting until the plan is fully executed in order to judge Ireland. I think that is admirable. What Miami fans dont see is the light at the end of the tunnel. The fins have only 6 million available right now which is why they are not spending. The good news is that they have only 66 million committed to players next year and beyond. That will put them in great shape especially if they continue the model of building through the draft.

QB is not the highest priority. Passrush, wr, o-line are. Matt moore was more than servicable last year

The smartest move the Dolphins could make would be to trade down. They have said this offseason they want to build a team thought the draft and one easy way to make that happen is getting more picks. The Dolphins could easily slide down to the bottom of the first round and acquire an extra 2nd and 4th in the process. If they were able to pull that off I would draft accordingly.

1. Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
2a. Vinny Curry, OLB/DE, Marshall
2b. Kelishi Osemele, OG, Iowa St.
3a. Brock Osweiler, QB, Arizona St.
3b. Marvin McNutt, WR, Iowa
4a. Ryan Broyles, WR, Oklahoma
4b. Coryell Judie, CB, Texas A&M
5. Oliver Vernon, DE, Miami
6. James Michael-Johnson, LB, Nevada
7. Joe Long, OT, Wayne St.

Why is everyone rushing to dismiss Moore so quickly?

Why would the Dolphins take an untested draftee over Moore, who finished 12th in the league in QB ranking?

12 games started, completed 60.5%, 16 TDs, 2500 yards and 9 INTs playing FOR THE MIAMI DOLPHINS.

Only 6 Wins, but a tough go on 4 of those 6 losses:

1 loss in OT to the Broncos by a field goal.
A loss to the Giants by a field goal.
A loss to Dallas by 1 point.
A loss to NE by a field goal.

You could do much worse at QB than Matt Moore.

Benching him would be a (typical) step in the wrong direction for the Dolphins.

Take Tannehill at 8, start him 16 and see what he does. If he flops then we should not have to move up much, or at all for Barkley or the best of Bray/Jones(if one is actually a top 5 guy).

Worst case is Tannehill looking decent winning like 6-9 games and regressing for that point.

The question is rather Tannehill better than Barkley and will we have a snowballs chance in getting him next year, gambling is the only way this franchise can get to its glory days, they need to move to 3 and get Tannehill or continue down the road of 8-8 for a few more seasons. Parcell’s strategy got the Dolphins now where soldid is not always, risk is the only way now.

they are a little weak on the management position too. I hope they draft well there.
