Yeah, its way too early to start defining where guys get drafted. Every mock site had Jonathan Martin in the top 20 last year and the idea of Tannehill being a top 10 pick was just scratching this surface at this point.

Depends on what Miami is targeting. If its Wr & 12 is to high for the Wr you want, then trading down makes since if you can move down & still get the guy you want.

Jesus this guy can really change direction on the dime.

Not trying to start another thread on this, but we all know your opinion on UT Wr. Are you telling us that you would not mind if Miami ended up with this guy?

I definitely do have hangups about Tennessee's recent history at wide receiver. But i think i'd be fine with Patterson in the 2nd round. Not comfortable with either Tennessee receiver in round 1. Both raw/inconsistent.
But if we signed Wallace or Jennings, I would be happy with either in round 2.

Yep, doing that would not only allow us to add two big receivers, it would also free us up to use more of those high picks on offensive linemen and defensive backs. Having six picks in the first 100 would give us two receivers, two offensive linemen, and two defensive backs. Then from the 4th round on we could address depth and look for guys that fell. Heck, after watching the Cotton Bowl I wouldn't even mind us going after Ryan Swope WR A&M if he's there in the 4th round.

But you have to agree that if the right player isn't there, then we have no business reaching for someone. Why reach for a receiver at #12? Why reach for any player? If the value of the player and the value of the pick don't match up, then trade back and add picks.

Don't get me wrong, if an elite cornerback or safety prospect is sitting there at #12, then I would like to see us get him. Or if a really good offensive line prospects falls, then I'm ok with that too. Or if our staff falls in love with a guy like Keenan Allen, then I'm ok with that. But what I don't want us to do is reach for someone out of desperation.

Do you really think he is advocating to reach for a player? When he emphasizes quality does that equate reaching in your thinking?

there will be no reason for reaching when we're on the clock at 12. There will be 5 or 6 worthy candidates to choose from.
