  1. There are a lot of extremely bad picks on this list. DJ Fluker at 12 to the Dolphins is just brutal. There's no way that will happen.
  2. Yeah, they must feel horrible with their measly 2 top-100 prospects when they could have Garza on their DL instead. Garza has been worth 5.9 wins since joining the Cubs and could have netted a haul in another trade if he didn't land up on the DL. Whether or not the Cubs decide to keep him, or flip him again this summer, I think it's safe to say, the Cubs easily won the trade. There's a pretty enormous difference between "won the trade" and "fleeced them so bad they never want to deal with the Cubs again." And that's not taking into account the future production of those prospects, or the fact that the Rays could easily trade two top-100 picks for something of value as well.

  4. Well, he WOULD be the prey for the bear in that scenario. thatsthejoke.jpg
  5. I like our chances between Amaya, Hernandez, Bruno, Torreyes, Alcantara, and Watkins. Did I forget anyone? Devoss?
  6. "If you see me in a fight with a bear, prey for the bear" is such an amazing quote.
  7. Dolphins select Cornelius Washington, DE, Georgia
  8. Dolphins select T Brennan Williams, UNC.
  9. Lot of receivers coming off real fast..of course, the second round had 0 wide receivers taken (how in the world did that happen?), so it's to be expected.
  10. Seemed pretty obvious to me he meant Rodriguez. Was vaguely hoping for Kiel to Ball State, but he should fare well at Cincy. Until he transfers out again.
  11. Dolphins select Zach Ertz, TE, Stanford.
  12. Sorry for the holdup. I checked this thread apparently a bit too early yesterday. Dolphins just lost a Long, so they'll get a new one: Kyle Long, OL, Oregon.
  13. I have no idea what you're talking about in your last few posts then. It's ridiculous to compare Flacco and Sanchez. Then you make a post attempting to say that it's not ridiculous, and saying we all have short memories. Only it's still a ridiculous comparison, so I haven't the foggiest idea what you're trying to say. Because he wasn't comparing them as quarterbacks in 2012/2013. He was responding to a quote that stated Flacco "just proved that he can win a super bowl and play at a very high level when it matters most." He was making a statement about the argument that being so-so and "stepping it up" in the playoffs represents enough value to sign a quarterback to an enormous contract, which should be obvious to anyone with a shred of common sense. Your attempt at reducing that to "YOU CAN'T COMPARE SANCHEZ TO FLACCO CUZ SANCHEZ IZ BAD LOL" is laughable at best. Hell, Sanchez being bad only serves to aid his point. If Sanchez is bad, yet the Jets went to consecutive conference championship games with him, then maybe the value of a mid-tier quarterback is being overstated? Same with goony saying Alex Smith sucks. If he sucks, yet the Niners were a fumble away from going to the Super Bowl with him at QB, then maybe retaining a quarterback who isn't elite at elite pricing isn't the best investment? I don't even agree with his position on Flacco, but I'm not being purposely hardheaded and distorting his position.
  14. People said the exact same thing about Mark Sanchez when he came into the league. They gave him extra credit for production in the playoffs in spite of pedestrian regular season production. That's the primary reason he has that albatross contract now. You guys have hilariously short memories. Well don't saddle me with any Mark Sanchez defense that "people" made. I didn't make that argument, so I'm sure as hell not gonna defend it. Nobody asked you to. Then what was the point of your post? To point out that someone, somewhere, at some time, thought Mark Sanchez was good and worth money? Well bully for them. That doesn't have anything to do with Joe Flacco being a whole lot better than Mark Sanchez, and deserving to get paid more than him. There's no hilariously short memory involved. Good, because nobody said that wasn't the case. You should probably read the posts you're replying to.

  17. With the first batch of Ts gone, the Dolphins address another need and select CB Xavier Rhodes, CB, FSU.
  18. I'm not very hip. What does that mean? I'm trying to figure it out too. My guess is its in response to Amanda Bynes(troubled former Disney actress) saying last week she wanted Drake(a rapper) to murder her vagina. Much better than my guess, which was that his swing started from the bottom
  19. I think Sullivan should have tried to use another quote. At least Dale didn't call him "Sappy" Would that be any worse than him calling himself Sappy? Sadly, His twitter handle is SappySappelt. Yes, I know that.

  21. Wes Welker seems pretty out of place on that list.
  22. Compensatory picks were issued today. SF got 3, as if they needed more picks. They have 14 now.
  23. I'd bet it has less to do with market than it does ability to adequately pass a physical. Highly unlikely.
  24. All of those players can contribute in specific roles. Abraham was very good last yera.
