Silver_Lining Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Just thought I'd post a mock I did using "Steve's Big Board" on Fanspeak. https://fanspeak.com/?utm_source=OTC Round 1, Pick 13 Rashan Gary, 6'4" 277 lbs, DE, Michigan Round 2, Pick 16 (#48) Chris Lindstrom, 6'3" 308 lbs, G, Boston College Round 3, Pick 14 (#78) Ryan Finley, 6'4", 213 lbs, QB, NC State Round 4, Pick 14 (#116) Dennis Daley, 6'5" 317 lbs, T, South Carolina Round 5, Pick 13 (#151) Shareef Miller, 6'4" 254 lbs, DE, Penn State Round 7, Pick 19 (#233) Chris Slayton, 6'3" 307 lbs, DT, Syracuse Round 7, Pick 20 (#234) Deion Calhoun, 6'3" 320 lbs, OL, Mississippi State I'm gonna miss Cameron Wake but hopefully Gary will ease my pain. With Coach Flores having experience as a DC, I'm excited to get him more pieces for the defense. However, the real problem in Miami for the past several seasons has been the O-Line. Lindstrom and Daley hopefully develop quickly to protect QB Fitzpatrick's life. We don't have much depth behind him. I don't think QB in the 1st round this year is the right move but the 3rd round seems to have some quality QBs. I really like Finley. I still believe in selecting a QB in round 1 or 2 next year, but he should be a quality option down the road.

Tetsujin Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Finley seems like a wasted pick, where we could've gotten a quality starter at a different position. Edited April 9, 2019 by freak_of_nature Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver_Lining Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 My thinking is having a QB who's worth good trade value in a few years. I'm thinking about when the Redskins drafted RG3 and then doubled down with Kirk Cousins. It turns out the Cousins pick was a good one. If Finley shows potential this year, perhaps we don't need to go QB in round 1 next year but rather BPA depending on where we land in the draft order. Yes, we could get a guy in the 3rd to compete for a starting position but there are no QB's worth more than Falk or Rudock after round 3 this year.

Swampbilly Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I love the Finley pick in round 3. I would even like it in round 2. We need a quality backup QB that is capable of challenging for the starting job in 2-3 years and that’s what Finley is IMO. He has great accuracy and can throw receivers open......nice soft touch on deep routes......not amazing arm strength but solid enough. Good solid draft with reasonable / realistic outcomes. Nice job IMO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job IMO!!! Finley doesn't make a lot of mistakes which makes him great for a backup, great for a developmental team, and a great anti-Fitzpatrick.

Yes but what are the odds a college QB who transfers schools including NC State will be successful in the NFL? Oh hay Russell Wilson.

Oh hay Russell Wilson. LOL!!! The newer NCAA transfer rules are making transfers much more common, especially at the QB position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrubes20 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I hate the Finley pick in the 3rd, but I love getting Lindstrom in the 2nd so much that I don't even care. I'm obviously a fan of Gary in the 1st as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there is much of a chance that Lindstrom is there for us in the 2nd but I would jump for joy if he was. I really want to see at least one of Lindstrom, McCoy, and Jenkins make his way to Miami in a few weeks. I think Grier can be a capable backup in the league as well.

Maybe they could and I would love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think he'll still be available tho Armando Salguero is the biggest joke of a sports columnist that there is. He is just awful. Sad the Herald can't attract someone with better knowledge and common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 I think Burns has a problem of maintaining a good playing weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
