MadDog2020 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) First round of the draft tonight, so time for the new thread. Lots of rumors swirling about a trade back from 13. Should be an interesting night. Edited April 25, 2019 by MadDog2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Here's to hoping that if there's any drama involving the Dolphins it involves trading back and maybe buying low on Josh Rosen. Otherwise, I want them to have the most boring draft imaginable. Stick with the plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Yeah, good pick. And on another note, please, for the love of GOD, no more mock drafts. They’re all a complete waste of time, and impossible to predict...they never properly account for teams going off the board, trades up and down, etc...do any of them ever really come close to getting it right? There’s now even shows where each pick is announced like it’s the real thing...give me a fvcking break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 On the Dolphins message board, a few people are wary of the fact that he's 23 going on 24. Doesn't seem like a big deal to me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJDevs4978 Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 (edited) Gotta admit Miami's killing it in terms of getting value...they turned a mid-2 into Rosen, a 2020 2 and 5. I'm not even a Rosen fan but they definitely stared down the Cardinals on that one. Edited April 27, 2019 by NJDevs4978 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not even a Rosen fan but they definitely stared down the Cardinals on that one. The five went to Arizona which doesn’t concern me that much. Don’t know what to think of it, except the only possible downside is if Rosen turns out to be good enough to make the team not completely suck and screw up the plan to get the QB in next year’s draft. Barring that, you have a fairly inexpensive backup QB which is how most of them who are taken in the second round end up. Like the Dieter selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted April 27, 2019 Author Share Posted April 27, 2019 I’m pretty happy, all things considered. Rosen is dirt cheap money-wise, has potential, and if he sucks, we have a ton of picks next year and should be lousy enough to be in a position to get Tua, Fromm, or Herbert (and obviously some of those picks can be used to trade up if necessary). The Dieter pick I like, we needed a guard and Wisconsin o-linemen are usually pretty good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 The classic-look jerseys should be the Dolphins' full-time jerseys. They simply work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m hoping they make the full-time change at some point.... there are very few things the fan base is united on as unanimously as wanting to go to the throwbacks full time.

Says almost every fan base in America 😂 Owners are definitely into the new jersey thing for themselves but ironically there’s such a hunger for throwbacks slowly but surely owners are milking that cow too (Chargers for example) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kelly-era uniforms were fine, but the Bledsoe-era CFL jerseys they wore were awful. These are the best uniforms they’ve had. The Jets has a great look with the throwbacks too, I think they made a huge mistake changing it up. They look like Michigan State now.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 Yeah, I think the Jets should've just stuck with their current unis. They were fine. New ones are OK, but kinda forgettable...at least compared to the outgoing design. 22 minutes ago, MadDog2020 said: I’m hoping they make the full-time change at some point.... there are very few things the fan base is united on as unanimously as wanting to go to the throwbacks full time. The main problem is that not one design they've come up with since ditching the old ones has been an improvement. In the Dolphins' case, the old ones are simply the best ones. Just go back to them and call it a day. 9 minutes ago, MadDog2020 said: The Bills went full throwback as well, and it works for them.

Speaking of Bledsoe-era, the second, better-known set of Patriots "Flying Elvis" jerseys (from the mid-90s to 2001) really didn't age well at all...the first iteration (1993) actually wasn't too bad...was very simple, very clean...I've actually grown to appreciate these, though they weren't around for long (only two seasons, with the red numbers on the blue jerseys changed to white): These however...man, those shoulders and that unnecessary stripe pattern...these are pretty rough to look at now: I like the current Pats unis (basically the same since they made their debut, with very minor, almost unnoticeable tweaks)...they've had them for a long time now though...especially considering the "Constant Redesign" era we're in. Won't surprise me if something new isn't too far away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since the Fins are wearing those for the Pats game, I’d love for the Pats to show up in these: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted May 20, 2019 Share Posted May 20, 2019 I do like those unis as occasionals, but I would never want the Pats to go back to them full-time...the current ones just feel right. But yeah, I would be 100% on board with the Pats and Dolphins playing their game in Miami wearing throwback unis every year...hell, if anything it'd be very fitting...the Pats didn't exactly win a ton wearing the old reds, and they don't seem to win down there much now either, soooooo... As a jersey guy (I'm far more into hockey jerseys than anything else), I would love to get my hands on a Bledsoe 75th NFL jersey...it's the blue one above with white numbers (and red outlines). Hard to come by though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
