Love of football is great. Let’s get football players.
I thought we were getting Najee Harris but I’m happy with the guys we got
Me too movement
@zzuhari are you crazy.Super dynamic and he also played with tua
Thank god we took Phillips over Najee
Couldn’t have gone wrong with either Harris or Williams, but they say Williams is amazing at picking up the blitz and that’s something rookie rb’s struggle with the most at the pro level.
Im happy we did not draft him
Fins up were making sb this year i trust🔥🔥
Give 2-3 bro!! We making it without a doubt tho!
13-4 or 14-3 with a ring…
NO WE WONT KEEP IT REAL
No we fucking aint. If we had Pitts and Najee Harris we would’ve had a chance.
Javonte Williams tomorrow please 🙏
if we pass on him i’ma be HOT
@H Groan that’s exactly what I was going to say!
Teven Jenkins dude is a beast
@Brandon Savitski WHAT! No Ricky Williams on your list, smh.
@gelene Celine my point is we should focus on our line. Draft Jenkins and a Center in the second
Jaelen Phillips had to retire from football at UCLA for numerous concussions. This is a scary pick. Ojulari I think would have been smart at 36 if we took Najee at 18… But what do I know
@Bart Wilkerson where you listening to the Dudes story..?
@Bart Wilkerson he’s also quit football to do music before so is he really that committed
@Michael Ham this draft WAS weak for edge rushers. In any other year none of these guys go in the first round.
@T – Glass you’re spreading unsubstantiated rumors. Dude tore his ACL in high school and then went on to play 2 full seasons at UGA without missing a game, and Dr. James Andrews evaluated him and sent a letter to all 32 teams stating that there is absolutely nothing wrong with his knee.
@Joe Ferreira racist Florida fans always hating on Grier
I swear to God, local Miami beat reporters are soooo bad. No one knows how to ask a proper question. These people “covering” the Dolphins are completely useless.
@William Browne can’t know if you don’t ask! Here are some questions they should have asked:
“Were you surprised that Pitts was taken by Atlanta, or that the Bengals took Chase instead of an OL to protect Burrow?”
“Waddle is a very similar pkayer to Fuller who was just signed on a one year deal, how do you plan to use him along with all of the other speedy guys?”
“Do you feel like we have too many of the same type of WRs now? Fuller, Waddle, Grant, Wilson, Hurns, Bowden, Perry…they are all speedy WRs, but we only have 2 big body guys in Parker and Williams, do they feel like we are balanced at the WR position?”
“Does drafting a WR #6 overall mean we can expect some departures from our current WRs?”
“Was Waddle always your #1 WR on the board?”
“After losing Karras to free agency and then trading away arguably our most consistent OL in Ereck Flowers just days before the draft, do you feel like the OL is in good shape, or do you think one of those first round picks could have been used on an OT or OG?”
“Assuming Jackson is at LT, Skura is at C, and Kindley is at RG, we seem to have holes at least at LG and RT. What are your plans for filling those super important positions to protect Tua?”
There are probably a dozen more I can come up with in like 5 seconds unlike these incompetent “reporters.”
They are so bad smh
@Fearless73 well for starters Phillip is 3 inches and 20+ pounds bigger than Harris is
@Fearless73 wait were talking about Charles Harris or Najee Harris compared too Phillips?
@Jeffery Randall Exactly. I was so baffled with some of their choices last year. Have any of them made an impact?
Can’t believe Jeremiah Owusu Koramoah didn’t go in the first round we better get him at 36🙏
Naw . We got Phillips . Get a RB
No
jenking the ol please!
@Scott Jenkins
@One up One down why does everybody want a running back so badly? it is the most replacable position on the field and this class is pretty deep. we should take a running back at 81. use our top tier picks on guys that aren’t as replacable. And phillips is a monster, wouldve been a top 10 pick if not for his injury history. we r in a good spot so a high risk high reward player at 18 makes sense
You all are bossin the NFL. Keep up the GREAT work!
I am. I’ve shattered every NFL record in Madden.
These two … My top picks.
Great picks for the first round
Omar is salty that they didn’t take Najee. Now he’s going to ride Phillips in his columns.
Grier looks different there. Could be the stress and lack of sleep. Flo looking sharp. He should wear that jacket on the sideline with a tom landry hat
FINS UP!!!
Maybe move up in the second if one of the players we really like is still there Im hoping Jenkins or the center we can hopefully get
I’m pretty sure Flo and Saban have a relationship since they come from the same coaching tree so perhaps he told him Waddle > Smith.
All I wanted was Najee Harris 😭
Overrated
Penei was great but we already have a young o line for the future.
I love having multiple first round picks. It’s gonna be weird when they only have one first round pick next year, I was just starting to get used to this lol
At least we have the 49ers pick. Pick 32 would be a long wait 😉
Well the niners took a project so we might be drafting high next year
@Josh Case we don’t have the 49ers 1st round next year that’s 2023 we gave that 49ers pick to the eagles
@Caitlynn Wood We gave the Eagles our pick, not the Niners. Always bet on ourselves
Both picks will make an immediate impact this season as rookies!!!
For sure!
Jaylen Waddle is a Miami Dolphin. Jaylen Waddle is someone you’re going to be proud of. Jaylon Waddle and his family will give us everything they have, I promise you that. I think Jaylen Waddle is someone you’re going to enjoy watching play for a long, long time as a Miami Dolphin.
