At least Dion Jordan showed some sign of being able to rush the QB while he was in college. The only skills that Armstead showed was being able to get shit down off of the top shelf of the cupboard.



At least SF got new alternate uniforms today. That's something to look forward to

You've got "annoying know-it-all" on your resume already...and now you're trying to add "superior douchiness?"

I can appreciate anyone looking to expand their skill set...

Huge pickup here.   Looks like the receiving corps will have some stability for once

It sounds good, let's just hope Tannehill can stand up next year.

The Fins not only filled a need, but also took the best player available.  It's weird to feel this weird "happiness" emotion on draft day.  I'm just not used to it.

Yeah, I'm coming around to the Armstead pick as well. I still have my doubts, but too many "football people" seem to think he is the perfect type of DE for SF's system. Besides, if Tomsula, a D-line coach, wanted the guy, maybe he has a plan for him.

I still think we could have traded even further back in round one and still gotten him, but at least we got an extra couple of picks out of the deal. Now we still have a 2nd, a 3rd, 3x 4th, a 5th, a 6th and 2x 7th rounders to fill in other positions.

If SF reeeeeally wants to make it up to me, they'll use one of those 4th round picks to move up in round two and grab Dorial Green-Beckham.

Parker has had 3 drops in 2 years.

Miami also has their WR's locked up for years to come.

Parker locked up for 5 more years
Landry locked up for 4 more years
Stills locked up for 3 more years

WR issue solved for a while!

The Dolphins have a bunch of guys with good hands now... last season we had a lot of drops, especially early in the season.

I would have loved to have seen Scherff make it to #14 but that clearly wasn't going to be a realistic expectation.  With Scherff off the board, Parker was definitely the sensible pick.  I'm happy.  Barring the injury bug, I see the Fins having an improved record this year. Not sure if they are ready to be a playoff team, but I do think they are moving in the right direction.  Hopefully there will be a quality Guard available in Round 2 that can challenge to be a solid starter in his rookie year.

I just want to say, "I told you so".

I see us drafting Parker.

Fins are gonna have to move up to get one of the Top 3 WR's in Rd 1. Too many teams in need of WR's are ahead of us. Raiders, Jets, Cleveland, New Orleans (after Stills trade this is a need)..among others who might grab one if they guy they want isn't there (ie Rams.)

Cooper, White, and Parker will go quick in Rd 1. Real quick. Fins need to move up to the Top 10 to get one of these guys. And I'm all for it honestly, trade up and go big! If they stay at #14 they might end up with the next WR after Parker who they have rated the highest.

I was hoping for Gurley or Parker, so I'm happy.

Fins have cut about $15-$20 mill in WR salary and improved their WR corp top to bottom in one offseason. Not to mention if Cameron can avoid a concussion they upgraded their TE as well.

Fix the o-line and get a back to share with Miller and this offense will be exciting to watch

Looks like Parker is going to wear #11.

Looks like Parker has signed.   It's good that the Fins locked him in early.
