Eagles take Miles Sanders. They sure do love RBs! Sanders is going to be an All Pro back...book it!

You're very welcome.

I had DirecTV when i was in Miami, and them thar Miami storms were no joke, so we lost signal a fair amount.

Chargers get Adderley. Great pick. Derwin and Nasir at safety for the Chargers...damn that's good.

by **JMP** Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:13 pm

Colts DOMINATING the draft. Just took WR Parris Campbell. A+ draft.

Phins on the clock now at 62..say it with me: ANYONE BUT ROSEN!!!

Love me some Melissa Stark by the way...seems crazy cool, and she is gorgeous!

by **JMP** Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:19 pm

My boy Charles Omenihu still available...big Texas DE. A bit raw, but at 6'5" 280 with strong hands and natural skill, could be a beast in time.

Can she get to the QB? What's her 40? Wink

I'd give her a lot more than a quarter back! cyclops

They actually did it. They actually traded for Josh Fucking Rosen...

That's it, I'm done.

by Killah Sith Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:22 pm

We just trade for Rosen?

by DolFan 316 Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:23 pm

So let me get this straight...the Fins decide the 48th pick is too high a price but are perfectly fine giving away #62?!?! Shocked

Rosen's the kind of guy who would urge the team to not take the field at halftime of a game to protest the draft's existence because it's 'oppression" or something.

by DolFan 316 Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:26 pm

Officially the same Old Fins. I really thought it was going to be different this time but nope, Grier's just another Tannenbaum after all.

The GF was right. She just KNEW the Fins would trade a 2nd for Rosen, she kept trying to warn me.

by **JMP** Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:27 pm

Phins trade the #62 for Rosen!!! Done deal! Wow!!

by **JMP** Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:28 pm

Phins also get a 2020 5th. Next year they might have to change the name from NFL Draft to Miami Dolphins draft! Damn, we are rolling in picks!

by **JMP** Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:31 pm

I trust this coaching staff, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt with Rosen. Who knows...maybe they develop him and we get a steal. If not, we have the ammo to get our guy in 2020. It's a calculated risk.

by JEGnj Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:33 pm

It's been almost 20 years since Miami had a QB to root for. I'm excited.

@gunnerhal
Dolphins confirm they gave up No. 2 this year and a No. 5 next year for Rosen. They did NOT receive a 5.

by Degarmo Fri Apr 26, 2019 9:44 pm

Rosen will probably sit this season anyway, but I'm not a huge fan of the trade. We'll see, hopefully he turns out great, but from what I've seen of him (on albeit a terrible Cardinals team) I wasn't hugely impressed.

EDIT: They gave up a 2 and a 5? Now I'm really not impressed with the deal.

I'm starting to warm up to the idea. We have Tom Brady's QB coach running our offense now...I think he knows a thing or two about what a good QB looks like. If he wanted to work with Rosen, that tells me he sees something. Get to kick the tires on a top young prospect at less than $2 million a year...seems pretty low risk.

I agree that we need to give them a chance to prove if they are right, there is something on film that they had to have in order to this. Now it is time to start drafting some players this year right now we have only 5 picks left.

Yep, and still a lot of players I love available.

Good article from Dave Hyde:

https://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-sp-hyde-dolphins-josh-rosen-20190426-story.html

Getting Rosen wasn’t just smart. It’s exactly what this franchise hasn’t done in two decades of searching for a quarterback in the same, aimless manner others search for Sasquatch.

The Dolphins got a quarterback drafted with the 10th pick last year who is only 22, who has a tough rookie year in Arizona under his belt and who must be humbled and motivated – they got him all for a discounted price of the 62nd pick.

Best-case scenario: Rosen shows the mind and talent to lead this team for the next decade.

Worst-case scenario: It doesn’t work out. The Dolphins’ brain trust decide after watching him work he’s not The Man. It then dips into the quarterback-rich 2020 draft for their future.

In this, General Manager Chris Grier pulled off a common-sense move on Friday his predecessors never did. For years, the mystery is why Dolphins management teams didn’t keep investing in a quarterback until they had one.

They held the limited hand of the likes of Jay Fiedler, Chad Henne and Ryan Tannehill until it didn’t work, that era collapsed and a new regime was brought in to try it their way. Which too often was a similar way.

Grier immediately made a play for one young quarterback while still having another plan in place next year if needed. That doesn’t mean the Dolphins come out of this with a franchise quarterback. It falls in the nothing-ventured-nothing-gained file, though.

Well said, and I tend to agree.
