Miami look into the Draft

So this is my threat that I will keep up with until draft day. I will post video and information of each player from the Senior Bowl and East/West Shrine Game, plus players from the combine as well.

Here is the list of players that have been announced for the Senior Bowl:
senior Bowl roster

here is also some information from the East/West Shrine game:
East/West Shrine

Here are some stand out from the East/West Shrine game and video of them.....

Graham Glasgow C/OG, Michigan


Victor Ochi DE, Stony Brook


Javon Hargrave DT, South Carolina State


De'Vondre Campbell: There is no video for him

Dean Lowry, DE Northwestern: No video for him either

There was a mock on NFL Network that had us taking the LB from Notre Dame.

Would love Jaylon Smith if his knee checks out...not sure when he'll be able to play.

Victor Ochi had an awesome career at Stony Brook...helluva pass rusher. Level of competition and height are the big concerns, but he's got long arms, is very strong, never quits and already has some impressive pass rush moves. May be too small for 4-3 DE, and I'm not sure he's athletic enough to play 3-4 OLB. But pass rushers are a premium...a guy like this will get drafted late and his team will figure out how to use him.

Great idea, by the way. I'm looking forward to the Shrine game...already have the DVR set. I probably won't get to watch it till next week...

You mean the guy who wrecked his knee playing in a meaningless bowl game and pretty much made the case that any and all surefire top 10 NFL draft picks should just sit out bowls unless they're playoff games?

Yeah, I can totally see it. Would be the absolute Finsiest thing to do. And then we'd find out he actually wouldn't be ready to play at all next season.

Yep, no more drafting injured players in the first 4 rounds. We need starters not IR players!

I think Miami goes CB or DE in the draft. Anything else is a wasted pick. Unless we take a QB.

In that mock Paxton lynch was still available when we picked. Just saying

My honest appraisal of our team is that we need four offensive linemen (because we're going to need capable backups as well), but for the first pick, I'd be seriously looking for a MLB. That position will be of far more importance than a cornerback, even though we need that as well. My second area of concern would be a ballhawk free safety. We have not had a guy that creates havoc in the secondary for a long, long time, and we need it, badly. Also, considering this front office is currently sold on Tannehill, a QB will be a wasted pick as well.

Everything I just typed had to do with the first and second rounds only. After that, I believe we need to draft a QB, offensive linemen, etc. I'm strictly thinking about how Tannenbaum will structure this team, and I feel like he's going to go out and spend money on a OL guy and a DE. He's going to screw our future completely as far as the cap goes. I just know that's coming right around the corner. There are things they CAN do to stop that from happening, but that's not how Tannenbaum rolls.

Disagree. 4-3 MLB is going the way of the fullback, the position is becoming more irrelevant by the year. Kuechly's the only good one right now I can even think of. On the other hand you can literally never have too many CBs.

That position (MLB) will be revitalized when they start playing big safeties there.  It's going to be the next trend right before the running game returns.

Haha, we'll see about that

I see the NFL becoming what the Arena League used to be in 5 years.

I see Dallas going after him in the first round. Probably not to replace Romo but to be there when he get injured

Well it looks like Vernon Adams is getting a lot of praise this week from the shrine game. I see him being a late round pick up.

here some more stories from the Shrine bowl. there also some info on the NFLPA bowl

Dolphins are going to need a pass rusher and corners. We also need linebackers and lineman.

I would keep an eye on Noah Spence and see if he falls into the second round. He could be an edge rusher we need to replace Wake. I wouldn't draft him in the first round due to his past. I hate even considering guys that have had past drug problems. The talent is there though. Could be Randy Moss or Dion Jordan. That's the problem with drug users.

This team needs everything.

(Whispers.) Everything.

From what I have read there is no DB that is on this list of players Miami should watch

here is a mock draft from FOX sports.......

Got Miami going after another injured player.

here is some more information before the first practice for the Senior bowl

http://www.musiccitymiracles.com/2016/1/26/10832412/2016-senior-bowl-final-pre-practice-thoughts

Only watched the first quarter-and-a-half of the Senior Bowl.  My boy Ochi from Stony Brook had a nice QB pressure.  But my biggest takeaway so far is that QB Vernon Adams (Oregon) is a dead ringer for Russell Wilson.  He threw a 93-yard TD where he looked exactly like Wilson, extending the play with his legs and then hitting the receiver perfectly in stride way downfield.  Definitely keeping an eye on him...

That ESPN blog us the worst. Maybe the guy that writes it should, you know, actually follow the dolphins!

It totally sucks that the Phins are in position to get Myles Jack or Jaylon Smith, who both would be HUGE upgrades for the defense - and both are coming off knee injuries.  This team has no luck.

This is good to hear. He is a new HC that needs to get this team together. Even if he has to get rid one of those pro bowlers like Grimes then I cool with that as well
