Draft Position


Shocker

You think the Dolphins would trade for Cam?

In all reality yes based off previous drafts and all the ammo they have acquired. I just feel a NE protege doing things similarly to the Titans vet qb carrying them with stout defense and a strong running game. But basically yes it’s a winning formula if Cams healthy I can see someone entrusting him with their offense.

Here's the thing, we have a huge wildcard with the Cam Newton situation, which makes it extremely difficult to draft.   

Our ideal draft strategy should probably be to find a desperate team, and trade our 1st round pick for multiple 1st rounders in the 2021 draft (similar to the Buffalo Bills Sammy Watkins trade).

If Cam Newton comes up and is healthy, then we're in good shape.  If it turns out he's done, then we have multiple 1sts in 2021 to move up for Trevor Lawrence or another prospect who emerges.

in theory we should be trying to pick Tua this year, but that might be a really bad choice if we're underestimating Cam's ability to get back to his old self.

I'm of the belief that nothing much matters if you don't have your franchise qb.  Taking a a DT isn't going to much for this franchise long term in the position we're in.  Trading our 1st allows us to defer judgment on Cam and stockpile choices.

Yeah if you really look at their team they are pretty solid on offense. There Oline is pretty good and they have a nice WR in Parker. They have money to spend to fix the defense. I could see them as a sleeper team for Cam.

Miami is beating NE right now does that help us at all?

"After the first round, the order is determined by revolving the teams with the same records, with the team that just picked first of the group picking last in the next round."

Helps us in the 2nd round, not 1st

    • When we drafted Luke, we already had Cam, Smith, Olsen, Stewart, Deangleo, Gross, Kalil, CJ, Hardy, Beason, TD, Gamble (and maybe more I'm forgetting), we had a lot of great pieces in place. Going pure BPA for a player with Luke's potential when the LB you already have is different when you already have all those pieces in place.  Our OL right now is probably in a better shape than that team and our RBs and TE have potential compared to proven vets back then, but after that, the 2012 roster was in a far better shape than we are right now. We need a #1 WR, DEs, LBs, DBs, C, and depending who you ask a QB.  Going BPA at pick #5 when that player is a DT and your current best player on either side of the ball is a DT, seems irresponsible. If he's the only player they like that high left, then you trade back and go with position of more need at a slot that makes sense for the player while adding other picks.  If you trade back and he falls because other teams don't need/want a DT, then you consider him at that point because of the value.    
    • This sounds like the same back and forth when we drafted a LB when we already had a LB or as mentioned prior back to back DLs. I want the BPA, if it is another DT so be it. (No not a kicker/punter for those people that think they are funny))
