Day 3 NFL Draft (Rds 4-7)

[MikeO]

Love the RB pick, he will be the #2 RB on this team from day 1. If the knee goes so be it, only a 5th round pick investment

The rest of the picks are purely special teams players early on. Lippett is a special teams ace for this team and a big CB, he won't play WR

No linebackers drafted speaks volumes. They like Misi at MLB and feel Suh will protect him better. Also they must fee Paysinger at OLB will be good enough. Fins only play 2 LB's on the field most of the time anyway and play more DB's

This is interesting. Maybe Dolphins know something nobody else does.

The kid is a 2nd round talent. If the knee injury is legit and we only get 2-3 years out of him, so be it I will take it out of a 5th round pick. If its no big deal then we just got a huge steal.

Yeah, can't bring back Daniel Thomas. This was a solid pick. These rounds are for depth and chances, no guarantees for success.

I'm hoping it's Chris McCain that becomes the starter. I think he has terrific instincts.

McCain being moved to DE per reports

Ajayi would be a great pass catcher out of the backfield.  And could pick up 4 or 5 running plays per game.  I like him.

With the exception of the 2nd round pick, I'm pretty happy with this draft.  They may just now be one year away from being a contender (deep playoffs).  If Philbin doesn't make the playoffs, and win that playoff game, he should be gone.  Then Miami could get a reputable coach.

[EDGECRUSHER]

Philbin should've been fired 2 years ago along with Coyle, this season is his swan song. Worst case scenario, Miami goes 9-7, makes the playoffs and Philbin gets an extension despite the team once again underachieving.

I agree. And, WHEN Philbin is eventually fired, mark my words the next head coach of the Miami Dolphins will be Urban Meyer. Ross is BFF's with him plus it would hurt Ross's college rival (Ohio St) by taking him away from there.  And honestly I would be all for the hiring. That's a leader of men and a coach who adapts to his talent!

I hadn't heard that, but that makes some sense, maybe he's my replacement for Cam Wake in a couple years.

[MikeO]

McCain only wants to rush the passer. He is a natural DE. His size fits him for DE. Fins giving him what he wants but may move him to OLB if need be it is being reported
