The Fins pick a LB, Channing Tindall. It's a very good pick at a position of need.
Everyone is loving this pick and so am I. Lots of speed sideline to sideline fits perfectly in this D. I think they needed a LB more than a C but close. We'll see if they go that route in the 4th. Miami is a lot faster this year....

Fair enough. It would be a lot of work to argue and most of us are tired. Have a good night.
The word on the street is that they picked him a round early that's all. Good player just early. Could have traded back or went in a different direction when you have lots of holes it's not good to reach.

Tindall was top 5 in LB drills at the combine. He's got elite closing speed when chasing down tackles. He was a big part of a national championship defense in Georgia.

Very quietly underrated player. Very good pick.

Tindall is capable of running down Josh Allen. Allen has been a problem for the Fins as a dual threat QB. Tindall will also make a lot of plays with his speed tackling RBs.

Like Georgia the Fins have good players and a good system in place. I think he will be able to play a similar role like he did in college, especially early in his career.

Tidall put up some amazing stats while never starting a game. Buried in a crowded team. Very much a part of this championship team.
I have heard it said that you needed a LB. I have no opinion on that. But if you did, you picked the right one.
Nakobe Dean was higher rated but Tindall will be a much better LB in the pros.

Erik Ezukanma - quality back-up receiver. He's a project you can afford.
Has good upside if the receivers on your team take him under their wing,

I think choosing him means the Fins feel better about their Oline then most people do or they have a veteran in mind to sign after the draft. I think the Fins coaches have confidence in their coaching abilities and system.

Erik E reminds me of Devante Parker in size, ball skills and speed.

This draft has very good depth at WR and the Fins picked BPA.

He will need time on the bench.....

I don't think that the Fins have to rush Erik E into the lineup but he's talented.

People have been underestimating Preston Williams. He's a baller. He just seems to get bit by the injury bug every year. When healthy he is probably a 4th WR on the team. Also Bowden Jr is versatile and fast & may earn playing time. There are others that will get a look such as Sherfield.

Oh, trust me. I think he will play. He can be a starter with upside. Needs pro practice time with NFL players and coaching.

The Dolphins finally get their QB of the future.

On a different note - the LBs the Dolphins selected will be great . Both solid at their position , who I expect to be immediate impacts and for quite some time.

You could have had the best QB in college ball in the 4th. Beat Joe Burrows records!

Thompson is a talented QB with potential. That said, he will need to play well to earn a spot on the practice squad. Streveler also has potential.

Tua has been putting a lot of work in to get better and learn the play book this off-season. It wouldn't surprise me if he has a very good season for the team

I like the additions to the LB group from the draft. I think these guys will make plays for the team early on, provide depth and could earn more playing time as the season progresses.

At WR depth has been a problem in years past. I don't think that will be a problem. It's a deep and talented group.

You guys did very good at LB in what was a very weak draft for off the ball linebackers.

Here’s what CBSSports said about the Dolphins, FWIW:

Miami Dolphins: C
Best Pick: They waited to take a player until the third round because of trades, but they nailed their first pick taking linebacker Channing Tindall. He is a playmaker who will be better in the NFL than he was at Georgia.

Worst Pick: I didn't like the choice of receiver Erik Ezukanma from Texas Tech. Isn't this a team with a lot of receivers already? Why not another position?

The Skinny: They didn't pick until the third round because of trades, including to get Tyreek Hill. He was worth getting, so that helps this grade. And I love Tindall.

You don't give a team good draft grades because of good veteran trades IMHO.
I do like the excellent value of the picks they did have remaining.

Agreed and if Tindall becomes a player then that's good enough for me the rest will be gravy. Although I believe it's best to look at the draft and offseason as an overall grade when the smoke clears. It all works together.
