Fins in the 1st Round

[Dolphster]

Would it make you feel better if I said, "You are correct, he will definitely be gone by #5"? Christ almighty, you are as argumentative of a SOB as I am.     

[EDGECRUSHER]

We have too many needs to trade up OR draft a running back. We need a WR, OG, Linebacker and CB. One of those will be available by the 14th pick. If anything, trade down and get more picks.

^^^ Yessir...trade down into the 20's and add a 2nd or 3rd rounder.

I think you could add safety to that positional needs list as well.

I agree except for the part about trading down.  Stay where they are and take the best player available in one of the three or four top positions needed.  If they draft Gurley I would be highly upset, not because he is a running back, but because he has health question marks.

And Stroke we don't need to help your 49ers anymore, we left you guys a good player or two last year when we picked ahead of you.

Fowler is a Top 5 player. He won't get out of the Top 5

Make up your mind is he a Top 3 or Top 5 player.

I said Top 3, but I was trying to be nice to the other person who said he "could" be there at 14 and said no way he makes it out of the Top 5 but he most likely is a Top 3 player in my opinion. The thought of Fowler being on the board at 14 is laughable

Insert Fast Times at Ridgemont High quote...

"My brother's gonna shit!"

"Make up your mind, dude, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?"

"First he's gonna shit, then he's gonna kill us!"

Hey, we flip-flop with you guys between #14/#15 in rounds 1-2-5-6 this year, so we have as good a chance to help you as you do to help us.

The bottom line is that I sincerely want both San Francisco and Miami to do well in the draft. The 49ers obviously are priority 1 for me, but I cheer for both teams...

[EDGECRUSHER]

I can only tolerate drafting Gurley if we trade Miller before the draft for a 1st rounder. Taking him and then letting Miller walk in a year seems like a terrible idea.

No team in their right mind would part with a 1st rounder for Miller. Plus Gurley may not be ready till Week 6 or 7, they need Miller

[MikeO]

Fins just exercised the 5th year option on Tannehill tonight

[EDGECRUSHER]

Too bad Miller didn't go to Oregon, Kelly would've given up the whole draft for him.

[MikeO]

Hot Rumor going around this morning is the Fins give up their 1st (14) and 2nd (47) to the Rams in return for their 1st (10) and 3rd (72) so the Fins can draft Parker.  Trade wouldn't happen till the Rams are on the clock obviously and the Fins are assured Parker is there

[Dolphster]

In my opinion, I think this draft is too deep with WRs to warrant trading up for one.  And I'm not completely convinced that Parker won't still be there at #14 anyway.  If the Fins hadn't picked up Kenny Stills and Jennings, then they would be desperate enough to trade up to ensure getting one of the top 3 WRs in this draft.  But with their off season signings, they aren't as desperate at WR.  It is still a need that needs to be addressed, but I wouldn't call it their most pressing need now.  I'm just hoping that Scherff is available at #14 but I fear he will be gone by then, most likely to the Giants. 

[MikeO]

Word out tonight Gurley will miss at least 1 month of the regular season

[Sunstroke]

My prediction for Miami... Brandon Scherff slides further than expected and Miami can't pass on the best OG in the class.
