December 15th, 2009 at 5:54 PM ^
i feel dirty every time i cheer when chad thows a pass to hartline or ginn... i might puke if he is throwing to golden tate...
December 15th, 2009 at 7:13 PM ^
Could be David Boston...Oh my bad, that's right David is no longer in the league and now makes my Cold Cut Combo at Subway because he let more balls slip through his fingers then Liberachi!

hate ted ginn way more than Golden Tate! Ted ginn went to crap U. I like no one from there lol
December 15th, 2009 at 5:56 PM ^
Isn't Braylon gonna be a free agent? He'd fit well in Miami. And, don't look now, but New England might be looking to add some offense, too.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:01 PM ^
but I'd imagine the NYJets will do all they can to secure his services since they traded away picks for him.
December 16th, 2009 at 2:53 PM ^
If Braylon goes there, I'm officially dropping the Lions for serious.
December 15th, 2009 at 5:58 PM ^
I want Henne to have receivers who can catch the damn ball!
December 15th, 2009 at 6:02 PM ^
any word on where Warren would land? I want to know to see what the chances are that he returns next season.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:11 PM ^
but, he has only 1 CB going first round, so that's a plus maybe?
The fewer early the better, let him drop and maybe he'll stay.
(crossing fingers)
December 15th, 2009 at 6:11 PM ^
Wut? Greg Mathews and LaTerryal Savoy are available, and Miami would pick Golden Freaking Tate? Who caught the critical passes to defeat Tate's team this year? COME ON.
Irish bias.
December 15th, 2009 at 6:20 PM ^
it is as simple as this
Acquire Braylon Edwards, Mario Manningham, Mike Hart, Chris Perry, Jason Avant, and poof, there is Miami 's new offense :D
I cheer when the ball is thrown to Bess, because his name is not Ginn or Hartline

When has McShay or Kiper ever been right about anything?
December 15th, 2009 at 6:32 PM ^
Now that we are on topic I might want to mention that Kiper thinks that Clausen has a legitimate shot at number one QB drafted and from there number one overall.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:27 PM ^
Clausen does have a legitimate shot at being the number one QB drafted.
December 16th, 2009 at 11:03 AM ^
Yeah, what other real NFL style QB's are there? Everyone was high on Bradfoord last year, but he has some injury issues now. Colt McCoy will be up there, but he doesn't have the NFL body style like Clausen does. Maybe the BYU or Houston guys will be high picks, but honestly I will be surprised if Clausen isn't the first QB taken.
December 16th, 2009 at 5:43 PM ^
is staying for his senior season, it makes sense.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:30 PM ^
Well, here's a mock draft the 2009 draft that he did in February of 2009 (obviously likely to be more accurate than the one he did now, since he actually knows the team orders in this one).
http://insider.espn.go.com/nfl/draft09/insider/columns/story?columnist=…
On my count, he got 8 out of his 32 first round picks dead on
He got another 3 picks within 1 slot of being right, and another 6 picks within 5 slots (He also correctly had Sanchez going to the Jets although necessarily had the slot way wrong due to the trade). And all in all he correctly identified 26 of the 32 players who would be drafted in the first round.
Personally, I think that's actually pretty damn good for a mock draft that was done in February, and a lot better than most of the mocks I see. Not saying this make Golden a lock to Miami, but I'll certainly take McShay's opinion over a random schmo's on the street.
(On a related note, I wish more sports writers/media sources would go back and see how accurate their predictions were this way).

If the dolphins really want to turn the corner in the passing game, they've gotta shell out and get a guy like antwan boldin, who's clearly disgruntled enough to consider a team like the dolphins that could be a contender.
boldin is a posession receiver, but has the ability to make huge plays. i think he'd be great for chad.
Braylon could also be an option, but something tells me Parcells probably doesn't want to take that chance, since the opportunity has already been passed up at least once.
Golden Tate may also be a wise move, but it seems like that organization may rather bring in veteran, competent guys rather than expend a high draft pick for a wideout. But who knows...
can't wait to see what chad does with a legitimate playmaker to throw to!
December 15th, 2009 at 7:02 PM ^
Is Antwan Boldin any relation to Anquan Boldin from the Cardinals?
I know what you meant, but couldn't pass this one up.
December 16th, 2009 at 10:10 AM ^
What the Dolphins need if they want to turn the corner in their passing game is a TALL possession receiver. They already have a fast athletic receiver in Ginn, and he just doesn't cut it. Yes, smaller, faster receivers can make it in the NFL (i.e. Desean Jackson), but for the most part they just end up in the slot or as a number 2 receiver. The truly dominant receivers in this league are taller possession receivers that can go up and get the ball over defenders when they're being covered. They're the type of receiver that a QB can throw a fade to in the endzone. Boldin, Fitzgerald, Calvin Johnson, Moss, T.O., Andre Johnson, etc. all fit this mold. Golden Tate has the potential to be good, but I just don't feel like he'll ever be more than an average receiver in the NFL. He can get away with his size in college, but the NFL is going to be a whole other monster.

Bill Parcells is the kind of GM who will go after linemen, he has never taken a WR in the top round of the draft, they always go after linemen, but with one of the last picks (20's) I'm betting they pick up a linebacker with pass-rushing skills since both Joey Porter and Jason Taylor, maybe Sergio Kindle? i don't see him going THAT high.
i think corners aren't a big need since Sean Smith and Vontae Davis are playing well.
December 15th, 2009 at 7:32 PM ^
I know Golden Taint plays for ND and everything, but man, that kid is a player.
If Chad Henne gets more options and becomes the next Tom Brady, I could care less who he is throwing too.
Of course, it's been a complete joy to watch Ted "feet for hands" Gin drop pass after pass this year.
December 15th, 2009 at 9:38 PM ^
It is Mencken, not Menken.
December 15th, 2009 at 10:36 PM ^
Even though the thought of Henne throwing to Ginn, Hartline, and possibly Tate sickens me, I am really proud watching a former Michigan QB usurp yet another starting QB spot in the AFC east.
