Dan Williams or Rolando McClain would be my two early favorites for that first round pick...and I would gladly take either for our front-7.

No receiver is worth trading a #1 for.  And if there was one, it isn't Brandon Marshall.

If Randy Moss and Terrell Owens can be traded for #2s in the prime of their careers, why the hell would MIA give up a #1 for Marshall?

#2's for Randy Moss and TO?Huh??  Randy Moss cost the Patriots a 4th.  TO went to the Bills for free.

You only spend a #2 on a stud slot WR like Wes Welker.

Wrong on both accounts.  They're going to take Terrence Cody or Dan Williams, both of who are monster NTs.  I'd rather have that than Brandon Marshall or any WR for that matter.

I'd rather they take Suh from Nebraska.  If he's gone by 12, grab Cody or Williams.

Gone by 12? Suh most likely will be gone by 3!

Are Cody and Williams D-Tackles or Nose tackles?  In the Dolphins' scheme, you need an NT, not a DT.

Seriously?  He's likely going to be #1 overall.  Seriously?

Cody is 6'5'' 365....Williams is 6'3'' 327.  I'd say they are both NTs. 

Referring to Tommy, Suh would be a horrible pick for us anyways because he'd be more like a DE in our scheme, which we are stacked on.  Besides, Suh is going #1 in all probability.

Let me get this straight -

You guys are telling me that a team with a track record of drafting guys like Ted Ginn Junior with a middle of the pack round 1 pick shouldn't "take a risk" with a young, and proven, stud?

They are going to donkey screw away this pick anyway on some undersized LB with "a nose for the ball" or some random CB that has a nice family that comes along with the pick.

Me?  Give me something proven.

I don't have a problem trading for YOUNG proven guy.....but I look at it in baseball terms....
***Begin Analogy***
Our draft picks are our prospects,our first rounder is our Best Prospect.....Trading Our Best Prosepct for a Guy like Adrian Gonzalez...I get a Chubby,having a guy like that on my Team...Trading our Top Prospect for Brandon Marshall..Is like trading for Milton Bradley....Lot's of Talent,two cent Brain....***end Analogy***

If we're talking Calvin Johnson, I'll personally Go to Detroit, Pack his House,and Hand Deliver him to the Dolphins facility....

Didn't we learn anything from T.O,and a lesser extent Randy Moss....
perfect example of Why I don't want Brandon Marshall...What makes me Believe he wont pull a stunt like this in Miami....

Did we even get into his legal skirmishes?

Yep.  No veteran wide receiver is worth trading for your #1.  I challenge you to cite any historical example where such a move has been successful.

B. Marshall is worth that pick, although I want them to grab Taylor Mays at #12.

Taylor Mays is very over-rated.  Sure he's huge for a SS, and is a big hitter, but he doesn't wrap up his tackles and his coverage is HORRIBLE!  He is pretty much a Roy Williams clone.

When Taylor Mays started playing for SC, I was pretty high on him, but the more I watched, the less I liked. He won't ever be able to play free safety in the NFL...he's completely strong safety material. Outside of laying nice hits on people, his value is minimal...and "definitely" not worth a first round pick, imo.

At # 12 I need to se either:

- Monster NT
- Ass-kicking MLB
- Pass-Rushing OLB/DE hybrid
- Big, strong WR

Safeties worth first round picks are few and far between, I think.

Challenge accepted.

The Dolphins traded a number one in the 1970 draft to Cleveland for Paul Warfield, which worked out pretty well. The Browns took Mike Phipps with the pick,  which didn't work out so well for them.

Ok, it was 40 years ago, but you didn't specify a time frame other than history.
