With bringing Ike back, they already had Bates locked up and then signing Lamp.

Hmmm

Package Ford and a couple picks?

Fair enough. The one I saw said 29. I guess it's a pretty lukewarm take, but the only way I'll be disappointed by their choice is if they take a DT

Maybe I am looking at the wrong player, you talking about Surtain.

Nah. Don't think he's on the block. Beane mentioned after Lamp that Cody was the most talented guy in the position group. The other three are flex depth. I believe I heard that the guard depth is poor in the draft this year.

I can agree with that, Bill's have Devey, Douglas, and enough depth to cover it if they got a decent offer for Ford. Not saying it is gonna happen but Beane has positioned himself nice if he wants to.

Sorry Hank, didn't look right, you are correct on Samuel, I looked at the wrong name.

Hoping Bossman is right about smokescreen. Also, everyone forgetting about Jaret Patterson? I wouldn't mind him back half of the draft. Antonio Williams from the practice squad seemed ok too.

Pach said first person Etienne reminded him of was Spiller. Same here! What worries me is Spiller was thought to be a top 10 talent. Etienne is not, which leads me to think he isn't projected to be as good as Spiller and Spiller wasn't anything too great in the NFL.

Kyle Pitts no matter what.

- Hatboro_Swords


Dolphins are gonna pick pitts.
Probably grab a wr a couple picks later.
"They have their qb" 😀😀😀

Good call on Patterson. This management team isn't going to overlook UB talent like whaley.

Can he play special teams?

He's a big boy. If he is an edge, I think I'd like to see an edge guy more in line with Hughes' size at 250. Jerry's tape against Jackson in the divisional round is beautiful. He could turn and keep Lamar contained.

Pegs or Gerbe's who do you like in the draft at RD, gotta find a partner for Johnson to grow with. Kukkonen is more of a defensive Defenseman and Lyckasen would fit the bill as a puck mover, but he's a ways away if he makes it.

Why aren’t you consulting video scout 3000?

Who's your guy at 30? Or are you trading down?

In-between the 3000 and 8000, and really like what Hank writes, really didn't think to ask. Gerbe's and Pegs seem to have been studying up on prospects already.

I actually wouldn't mind trading back and seeing if I could get a extra 2nd and 4th. But I like Tryon, Campbell, Rousseau and Samuel fits nicely to.

A lot of mocks have Samuel gone by 15.
- Buff36

That mock is an outlier then. Unless you're not talking about Samuel Jr CB, he is considered a 2nd round pick, maybe late first.
BINGO!

Yeah I quickly looked at this mock and misread the name Hank was right, it's Surtain that is said to be in that area.

Gerbe would have to help you out there.

I generally focus on the top 15 to 20 guys
