Smooth move Ireland, trading a great prospect at corner for a pick lower than we drafted him. Especially with the current state of our secondary this is moronic.

Do we have to wait for this season to be a complete disaster or can we just fire Ireland now?

Vontae rode that "prospect" wave as long he could. It's been time for him to show up and he never really lived up to all of the hype. I don't hate the move because I don't think Davis was all that. But it does leave this team thin at secondary. They're blowing it up, thinking big picture. This year will be brutal but they are doing the right things in the long run.

I'm sorry, but given Ireland's drafting, I have no faith that our second round pick is going to be better than Davis.

That's even clearer. Miami's pass defense morphed from grotesque to gorgeous across the season's halves. This could have happened by random chance, but there's a very telling coincidence that I think might have had something to do with it. Cornerback Vontae Davis isn't on Darrelle Revis's level, and he can lack for consistency, but he has borderline Pro Bowl talent. And during that first nine-week stretch, Davis missed four games entirely while being forced out of two other games with injuries.6 Davis made it back for Week 10 and didn't miss a single game the rest of the way. The dramatic difference in DVOA obviously overstates Davis's impact, but he's an enormously valuable player to the Dolphins who makes them significantly better when he's healthy and in the lineup.

Anyway we flip this pick into a trade for a WR? ala Wallace?

the trade makes sense, we shouldnt have to wait 3 weeks every year for the guy to get in shape. He obviously doesnt take his career too seriously and this will be a very high 2nd round pick. Good move

Why did this move have to come now..........he's under contract through 2013. We had until week 8 to trade him this year........or we could have evluated his trade potential prior to the 2013 draft. This move does nothing for us this year.

that is exactly what I am thinking. I'm hearing alot of rumors about Ireland looking to acquire a wide receiver. But Terrell Owens just got cut so he may just pick him up.

Just stop.

This was a terrible trade. You have to have THREE good CB's in this pass happy league, not just two. Not to mention giving up a near pro-bowl talent for less than the round we acquired him in. I don't care what Philbin thought of him early on ..... nothing he did warranted being jettisoned.

WTF is this whole team doing right now??

I don't think he helped himself by fighting with Steve Smith the whole 1st quarter last week

Agreed he was suppose to let Smith Abuse him...that would have been very Dolphin-like.

If this doesn't morph into a trade for a star WR, I'm officially back on the Fireland Bandwagon.

espn just said we got 2 picks. Wonder if that was an error on their part?

Ya, seriously ...... apparently VD should just take the abuse.

This isn't just Ireland though. Philbin has been on VD's case. He showed much better conditioning/improvement as the preseason went on ..... why get rid of players who are still young and learning how to be a pro?

Fact is he never became the player he was suppose to be.

learning how to be a pro in his 4th season!!!! really? really? LOL
