Incarcerated Bob says Miami possible trade partner

[Swarly]

I know this trade isn't really comparable since it was from #28 overall to #12 overall, but Miami made a (sorta) similar trade with the Chargers last year.

Chargers got: #12 overall, 4th rounder, 6th rounder

Miami got: #28 overall, #40 overall(2nd rounder), 4th rounder, and a player

figured it was worth noting

ugh man a freaking hate tweets.....they cant they just put a message together in order like every other message program ever....i am always trying to read it figure out who said what

Gantt was first asked this:

Seems like there's a groundswell among analysts for Gabbert to the Panthers. What's your feeling? by James_Dator

He responded with:

That he's not the guy.

He was then asked this:

Does your gut say it's Cam or a defensive player? by Panthers_711

He responded with:

That's precisely what my gut says. That, and it's almost lunch time.

[Mother Grabber]

Maybe we can trade them Shockey.

That is not nearly as drastic a value difference as 1 to 15.

As someone said I don't think Miami even has a 2nd. No way this deal gets done. It would take every pick in this draft and a 1st and 2nd next draft and maybe even another 2nd and third in 2013. Not going to happen.

I dont trust a guy named incarcerated bob.

I dont trust a dirty terrorist either!

There is always a possibility for a three team trade.

I agree though, the #1 pick will stay with Carolina unless it is 100% guaranteed there will be a rookie wage scale.

[jramsey4]

But if for some reason it did happen it would be a perfect range to get a guy like Pouncey and secure the interior of our line for the next decade. Think about it Gross, Wharton, Kalil, Poucey, Otah/FA/Draftee wow just wow. Moore would go back to looking like he did at the end of 09 if he had all day to throw and the best running game in the league. Not to mention hes great insurance in case Kalil was to get injured.

you're all assuming the guy was suggesting that they wanted to trade up to number one to get newton. he said that newton was priority #1 for miami and that they were willing to trade up. that doesn't necessarily mean they want (or think they can) trade up to number one, but maybe that they're willing to trade up to number 5 or 6 if he falls beyond buffalo.

[Woodie]

Gabbert's in the mix, doesn't mean we draft him though. The actual quote is:

Gantt also isn't always as connected as he thinks he is. I think we're looking at 7-9 players like Hurney and Rivera have said, and we are probably looking to trade down.

I think Gantt is simply basing this off of Rivera's comments on Newton a week or two ago, not any real inside sources or anything. From that point on, Gantt has been beating the "Newton at #1" drum quite a bit. The problem is that Rivera only talked about Newton because he was specifically asked. There was nothing to indicate that he also doesn't think just as highly about any of the other QB's. But Gantt seems to have read too much into it and taken his comments much more to heart than he should have.

If nothing else, Rivera has struck me as a very thorough person, and I simply can't see him locking on to one player this early...particularly before he even has a chance to see the other options live and have a chance to talk with them and see how they respond in front of a whiteboard. Any comments by the team at this point are preliminary at best.

Personally, I think Gantt really likes Newton, and is somewhat hearing what he wants to hear. That doesn't mean it won't be Newton, but I just don't think Rivera & co. have done enough work to lean all that heavily in any direction.

[mav1234]

It is very, very clear that Gantt likes Newton. No surprise. He's a likable guy I've heard. Plus let's be honest, he would give the reporters much more to talk about than Gabbert based on what we've seen so far.

[carolinarolls]

There will be a rumor about every team wanting to move to the top spot for somebody or something for some reason or another.

Let's just call this the start.

[InDaZone]

I would totally trade the #1 pick to the Bengals for Palmer, their 1st and 2nd.

Then you could still get a good stud defensive player with the #4 pick... and then get a good player with the #2.

I've actually heard this dude has some merit amongst the nat'l media. I know ESPN has referenced him as a source before...
