2014 Dolphins NFL Draft Thread

What's the size of this CB?

 

[Paolo305613]

Aikens possesses natural athleticism, fluidity and instincts to be an impact press corner at the next level. He comes with some character questions after an arrest early in his college career though, and doesn´t possess elite long speed. A potential starter down the road if he can prove mature.


According to CBS sports

What's the size of this CB?

Some have him listed as 5’11 others at 6’1

 

[avalon2423]

Thats a big difference 5'11" to 6'1" when it comes to DBs lol

 

[Paolo305613]

Some character issues for Aikens but has all the tools to be a quality player.

The Fins have addressed their defensive needs and on the OL. I think they now can AND SHOULD focus on adding depth at RB and TE, not doing so, limited as the choices may be currently in the draft, it would be neglegent for the Fins not to fill those positions.

Thats a big difference 5'11" to 6'1" when it comes to DBs lol

When its over and fins give a full report on their guys, we will see where they have him listed

 

[Paolo305613]

RB James White to NE another guy I would have liked for the Fins

 

[Paolo305613]

Aiken can play nickel DB inside covering slot receiver - thats important in today’s NFL especially in the AFC , AFCE

[Paolo305613]

Jimmy Wilson, often made a target by offenses , is currently penciled in as slot CB

 

[Paolo305613]

Aiken also played hoops and ran track at liberty

 

[Paolo305613]

7 picks this season for Aiken

Fins picks that remain are155, 171, 190, 234.

Assuming no more trades

 

[FanofPelicans]

At his Pro day Aiken measured 6'1 203lbs. I think he could become a solid press corner in the NFL. There will be some good competition at CB for the Fins. He had 3 INT's last year in college.

 

[Paolo305613]

We dont need and shouldnt draft a QB, but if we were to do so - I think Aaron Murray would be the best choice along with Fales as two guys who the Fins can develop and would give Tannehill some competition

 

[Paolo305613]

Bills get Cyril Richardson… Another guy I wanted for the Fins… will be interesting to see who we pick next, as a lot of guys we had on our radar have already been picked in most recent picks

 

[Paolo305613]

TE, Georgia Arthur Lynch for the fins.. now they are stocking up for depth… nice pick

 

[Paolo305613]

Lynch may not be the new-age field-stretching hybrid TE/WR type, but he´s a reliable short-to-mid range pass-catcher, and has nice upside as an in-line blocker in the running game.

This is what CBS sports says about this pick - In this case, it makes sense - None of the current TEs on the roster are true blockers at the position, they were asked to do it many times and did it well, but I think it took away from them being involved more in the passing game - I think, with this pick we can allow Lynch to do the blocking while he develops as a pass-catcher at the position

 

[Paolo305613]

we have another pick this round 171,

 

[Paolo305613]

Murray is gone now so our best bet is to seek a QB in a different manner - we can now focus on other positions

 

[Paolo305613]

6’5, 258 for Lynch
