AFJF Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/nfl-draft-scout/25141214/nfl-draft-miami-dolphins-considering-trading-into-the-top-10 With the free agent signing of star defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh and trade for wideout Kenny Stills, the Miami Dolphins attacked the offseason. The aggressive approach may be a sign of things to come as Miami is already reaching out to other clubs in an effort to gauge what it might cost to move into the top 10 this year, NFLDraftScout.com has learned. With only six picks in 2015, the Dolphins don't have much ammunition. That hasn't stopped the 'Fins from fishing. The Dolphins appear to be targeting another playmaking wide receiver with West Virginia's Kevin White ranking highest on their board, sources suggest. If it happens, Miami's trade could mimic a similar move as the one division rival Buffalo completed a year ago, jumping up to No. 4 overall to land Sammy Watkins. Whereas the Bills continue to struggle at quarterback, the Dolphins boast a quality young passer in Ryan Tannehill to build around. Miami's interest in adding more talent to its receiver corps is no surprise. Over the past week, the Dolphins hosted free agents Michael Crabtree (San Francisco 49ers), Greg Jennings (Minnesota Vikings) and Wes Welker (Denver Broncos) after sending former expensive free agent addition Mike Wallace and a seventh round pick this year to the Vikings for a fifth round pick. White, specifically, is interesting. At 6-foot-3, 215 pounds, he's bigger than Alabama's Amari Cooper and after wowing scouts at the Combine with a 4.35-second showing in the 40-yard dash, he's convinced some that he possesses the most upside of any receiver in the 2015 draft class. It is hard to question that after White exploded for 109 catches for 1,447 yards and 10 scores last season, improving his stock more than any other prospect regardless of position. In Stills (6-foot, 194 pounds) and steady sophomore Jarvis Landry (5-foot-11, 204), the Dolphins boast two solid pass-catchers already. Neither, however, possesses White's combination of size and speed. Given the potential vulnerability of the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots at cornerback after the losses of 2014 starting cornerbacks Darrelle Revis and Brandon Browner, it wouldn't be surprising to see Miami target a wide receiver in the first round - whether the 'Fins stand pat at No. 14 as projected or aggressively move up.

ComfortablyNumb Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Classic Tanny. I can't wait for him to mortgage the future fast enough over there. Dolphans won't know what hit em.

Shockwave Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Look for Tanny to be VERY aggressive and I could certainly see this happening. Tanny will lock onto one guy and make a move for him ----He will absolutely trade with the Jets too. So Miami is a great place for a trade down if we want another second round pick. It would be very similar to when he traded up for Sanchez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerfish Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 When did this happen? He has improved each year, last year 27 tds and 12 ints comp % 66% He is having the type of improvement the Jets had hoped both Sanchez and Geno would have. more yards, better %, more tds, less turnovers.

Savage69 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 he would play over any QB on our roster. True dat.. Last season he completed over 66% of his passes with over 4,000 yds and 27 tds and 12 picks.. PS you beat me to it Beer..LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 That would be incredibly stupid when he can stay where he is and take DGB or Perriman. Parker may be on the board as well although I doubt it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRL Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 With the dumbness in CLE organization and the desperation of Tanny to make another "splash" move in MIA we could easily have two teams to trade down with on draft night. And both teams need WR's so they may bid against each other to get to #6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Villain The Foe Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 They got a QB. True, the problem is that White would be a deep threat, but Tannehill's deep ball is utter garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larz Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 tannys approach can work, you have to hit the window in that 2 year time frame before the fall out and the bill comes due they get even a little injury bug and they will be wondering why the bench is so thin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patman Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 True, the problem is that White would be a deep threat, but Tannehill's deep ball is utter garbage. White is not just a deep threat, did you see how many bubble screens he had? He does not have to run 9s like Wallace he has a much more all around game. He is fearless going over the middle and working the seams. A perfect compliment to Landry, Stills and Cameron. Parker to me is just as good in that system that Miami uses. Ireland was all about collecting talent not building a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got out of the Wallace and Hartline contracts. Lets see if he can pull off a miracle and unload Jordan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papz187 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 He has improved each year, last year 27 tds and 12 ints comp % 66% He is having the type of improvement the Jets had hoped both Sanchez and Geno would have. more yards, better %, more tds, less turnovers. Exactly. Miami does have a QB who has improved every year. If Sanchez or Geno had the same type of improvement we'd all be thrilled. Tannenbaum has the QB to build around and it looks like he's giving him weapons to work with (like he did trading for Braylon and Holmes and drafting Keller when he was here) and he also dumped a shlt starter in Wallace, which points to him learning from dealing with Holmes BS after signing that massive contract. The Suh deal is questionable. The guy obviously is a beast, it's just a matter if he'll be worth that amount of cap space. I'm interested to see how Tanny continues to builds that team, and I wouldn't be shocked to see him target a player and trade up for him like he did with Revis, Harris, Sanchez, Greene, etc. Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Third Down Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 The way Tannehill throws, they need all slot receiver. I hope they do move up. They could have to give up their entire draft! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Rex Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Classic Tanny. I can't wait for him to mortgage the future fast enough over there. Dolphans won't know what hit em. My buddy is praising their FO and thinks they're super bowl bound. Your right, it does sound like classic Tannenbaum. First Suh's very rich contract throws off the salary cap, then he proceeds to fall in love with certain players and chases his tail to get them. Next he will be taking flyers with second and third round choices and voila the Fins are in cap hell with a depleted roster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetster Posted April 11, 2015 Share Posted April 11, 2015 Didn't we absolutely crush Miami & totally fluster Tannyhill last year? People, we had UDFAs at corner & a rookie safety! Every year Miami makes a splash they are instant contenders? So, they sign Suh, but they lost Starks & Odrick. They also lost Clay. Always OVERATED!
