I actually didn’t have a specific guy I wanted. But thanks for reading my mind. And now that it seems you have a personal thing for me, which is absolutely adorable, let me explain. The Top 10 pick should be an immediate impact player. Someone who should be a consistent starter. I didn’t think we stood a chance to get Bosa or Josh Allen. Those, to me, were the biggest impact players. When Allen fell past 5, I immediately wanted them to trade up. Anything higher than that wasn’t worth what we’d have to give up. Once he went, I wanted Hock as that’s a huge need on our offense. So yes, I’m disappointed in Oliver. Not because I don’t like the kid. In fact, I loved how he’s reacted and handled himself since being drafted. My issue is how he will be used. I don’t want any player at 9 that isn’t a full time starter. If he’s going to make Harrison take a back seat, okay. But it not, then I’m not a fan. I’d have rathered a trade back, OLB, TE, or OT. I’m happy we got Ford in the 2nd. I’m not sure how I feel about Knox as his production didn’t show up in college. Foster’s one of the few players I can think of that’s found a way to turn it on in then NFL. So, please pick your fight elsewhere. I overall know that the organization knows 1000% more than anyone else on this board and their drafts the past two years have the best I’ve seen. Also, please utilize grammar. Reading your horrific syntax makes me go cross-eyed

Contract and drama. We just dug ourselves out of cap hell and there’s clearly a culture they want to create.

I agree with you. But I also don’t think that’s the system we are going to run. We aren’t going to rely on one or two guys. It’s going to be a spread like the Pats. Also, we aren’t going to have a roster where 4-5 guys eat our entire cap. I like our WR situation now. There wasn’t a clear #1 guy available this year. And no, I didn’t want OBJ. We will see how this season goes with 3-4 decent starters and next year’s draft is very offensive heavy. Are you flirting with me?

Wait until you get married.....

I hope that’s not true. Because that’s a big pick for someone who’s going to rotate and share with 3 guys for 2 spots

Doesn’t mean you can’t complain about it. That’s what the forum is for. To agree/disagree in a conversational way.

With McD primarily running a nickel defense, what does our starting defensive line look like (also taking rotation into effect). Granted, I know we run different packages, short yardage, etc, but I’m still curious how we are going to use all of these guys in a way that justifies what we gave up for them. Oliver - #9 overall Star - Big Contract Harrison Phillips - 3rd rounder just last year Jordan Phillips - Just re-signed 4.5 mil I’m assuming Base D - Star (2 man clog) Oliver (Rush) Short Yardage - Star/Jordan Pass Rush - Oliver/Harrison There’s also a wide 9 they sometimes run which might have Harrison - Star - Oliver. In any case, it seems like Harrison just got the short end of the stick to me. Does Oliver line up at DE on some plays with Lorax beside him? Lorax - Oliver - Harrison - Star - Hughes Am I interpreting this the right way?

Who told you! She’s lying ?

It's funny how many times I think the same way. "Doesn't sound like someone I'd draft on a fantasy team. He's not gonna make it"

At first I thought the Bears jumped up and robbed us, but we got our pick in super quick.

It’s gonna be awkward when he unfollows him

Can he play TE? If so, I’m in!

I mean, for every anomaly like them, there’s countless examples to the contrary.

He’s being passed over by numerous teams for a reason

Bump as we get into later rounds

You could see this coming. They spent a ton of time with him before the draft. Strong value, fills a big need. Solid. I’m worried we are neglecting TE too much. Hope to see them get someone. Irv would’ve been nice too. I wouldn’t mind another trade up

If I'm the Dolphins, I'm offering a 4th and will settle for a 3rd. They have all the leverage. The Cards can't keep him and every other team got their QB. The Cards waited too long and will have to take what they can

Irv Smith Sr would make sense

What are those?

No, that's why I'm asking

How did you know that?

Very well possible. I wouldn't have trade back if I were them

Yup. Just trying to fight. You got me. Heaven forbid I preferred another player.

Obviously. 4th would have been trade value to jump up two spots. Is that really so crazy to speculate?

Well, if you read the original post, you'd see why I cared
