I'm fairly certain they will not draft him, so I figured I was safe.  In addtion, I couldn't say I would shit my pants or Tommy would never let it go.  Grin

You wont renounce ya fanhood.  Even if we do so Draft Ryan, he wont be starting for the next 2 seasons. Also, I highly doubt Miami will draft Ryan.  Dont belive Me kiper and is B.S.  Grin

I only would never let it go if you said it and the Dolphins actually took him, which I doubt they will do. 


If the Dolphins take Matt Ryan, I will spend the entire season ranting how Bill Parcells is a football coach masquerading as a front office guy, and should get his walking papers at the end of the season!!!!

It's a safe bet that regardless of what happens you'll find one issue to rant about over and over and over and over and over...

Anyone else on this site think Vernon Gholston has more upside than Chris Long? I haven't heard any talk of Vernon going to the Dolphins, but he seems like a monster with inhuman levels of raw talent and athleticism.

I think Gholston is a bit more of an athlete than Chris Long, and a little less human than everyone else.  After seeing his combine and pro-day numbers coupled with his collegiate career, I'd be fine with taking him in this draft.  I look at it this way, if we take him #1, he may not command as much of a signing bonus as a Matt Ryan or various other over-hyped picks because he has just come on strong over the last 6 weeks (Think Mario Williams).

Just look at his numbers, he ended up running a 4.58, throwin' up 37 reps, and finished with a 42'' vertical!!  This guys weighs 270 lbs, that's nasty.

Vernon is doing a Mario Williams this year. Watching his film, MUC is dead-on...Gholston is a mutant beast.

I was asked earlier today if I would trade down from #1 to #3 to get Atlanta's disgruntled DB, DeAngelo Hall. I immediately said yes, because it would give us a pro bowl caliber DB in Hall, plus either Jake Long or Vernon Gholston at the 3 slot.

  ^^^  I agree with you guys that Vernon Gholston is an absolute beast.  He will be a dominant defensive player in the NFL for a very long time.  If we could trade down with Atlanta for the #3 pick and other draft picks, we should do the deal.  No way in hell should Miami consider DeAngelo Hall in a trade with Atlanta.  He will want Samuel money ( if not more) in his new contract, and is a locker room cancer.  He is a good CB, but his terrible attitude and stupid penalties outweigh his CB ability IMO.  Parcells said he does not want troublemakers on Miami, hopefully he sees Hall for what he is.

A couple of thoughts on that...

* I think the buzzphrase "locker room cancer" is misused and overplayed. I see DeAngelo raising a little hell on the field, but have never heard anyone in Atlanta refer to him as a lockerroom cancer.

* The penalties situation is way overblown. It was the one game against Carolina that he lost his cool against Steve Smith and committed three stupid penalties. The rest of his games...no more of a penalty concern than any other DB in this "don't touch the receiver" league. Bottom line on his play...he's a pro bowl corner.

You guys may want to see the negatives, but I'd welcome DeAngelo Hall to Miami with open arms...

I wouldn't mind seeing him in the aqua and orange.  He is not happy where he is, so a change of scenery would probably help him, also.  He would be a huge upgrade to our secondary.

Agreed.  I think miami will have to do a trade for him . I dont think the Falcons will release him on his wish.
