Why this team ain't winning anything this year?
I'm with u 💯 on Kenyon if hes there..hes ELITE but want OT or the Penn St..Guard
Same on Sonny!Hes my # 1 And in sync with your thoughts on today's show!!
Damn im pissed i missed the stream
i miss the call-in shows dude
Hell no
We need to build
Yes Sadiq is a better prospect but we have massive holes at so many other positions that are more valuable than TE, especially since Dulcich is decent
Caleb Douglas is a beast
Agree on Sadiq 😮
100 percent on Sadiq 😮
Absolutely would not make that trade
Sadiq @11
Max @30
Hurst @43
Yes I wanted Warren, everyone kept saying too early @13 and out the other side of their mouth, Warren @14 😮
Man can you imagine, Malik, Sadiq, and Achane 😮 WOW
Need to look at what players do for the team 😮 not just the player . . .
Sour Lemonade 😮
Not Downs either cause you can take Thieneman @11 😮
Two 3rds breaks the great value players availability when you have many needs 😮
I’ll tell you a real secret, we only got Malik to generate draft capital because his contract is cheap and tradable. We are not stuck with him at all, if he has nothing and looks good that is a 2nd or 3rd draft pick Sully got us for free. Wow.
would you take Bain or sadiq at 11?
I am not one of those fans who’s rooting against our QB I hope he plays well so we don’t have to draft a QB next season
A lot of factors would have to happen for me to agree to that trade.. First I would have to know if they weren't going to pay and resign Brooks then they should definitely trade him.. 2nd I would do the trade only if it was #11 a 3rd this year and a 3rd next year not two thirds this year.. I might be a little partial though because he's my #1 favorite player in the draft!! I agree that's a lot but all those things would have to happen!! Can't lose Brooks for nothing and you'll have a huge hole if you do!
There's only 2 players I'd move up to 7 for, Bain and Mauigoa. Both play premium positions and our cupboard is bare at both. If Chop is our main threat, we're in trouble unless he has a breakout season and comes of age. When (not if) 73 goes down, who is our starter at RT? Heck? Sorry Charlie, "what the" Heck makes me clamor for good Jesse Davis. Go ahead and give Heck #77. I would absolutely pay to play for those 2 guys. Keep Willis clean and like coach said "We want to run the ball when team know it." Maybe 28 sets some rushing records with a good Oline? Maybe we give Washington the player dem boys want in Brooks? Say Brooks, Seiler a 2026 3rd and a 2027 conditional 4th that can turn into a 3rd? I love Brooks and Seiler but to get a RT to pair with a Young Paul? Sign me up! They've had 3 RT visits so far. Who is RT2 in this draft? Maybe that tade smoke is a Mauigoa play? Does he make it past the 5 teams in front of you at that point? Or does someone else trade up for him ahead of you after your trade? There are multiple teams with multiple 1st rounders. I love they are looking at Jordan Hudson! That dude is a bubble screen merchant. All those Waddle screens could be his. Really good contested catch guy too. Throw those redzone fades to him! I'd love to see what Austin Clark could do with DeMonte Capehart. Really happy about the Burke and Masses visits! Fins Up!
Styles is the Only one worth trading Up for. If ANYBODY trades BACK with Styles on the board, they are either CRAZY, or they will want RIDICULOUS compensation. That Boy is A FREAK.
You do not think Jalen Wright has not stepped up?
I really like Sadiq too, if Mauigoa not there, I’ll definitely take Sadiq
Burke only did 11 reps of 225.
7 switch to 11 with Washington. Plus Achane to Washington and Miami gets Wash Rd 2 and 4 next year. Miami takes Styles or Bain. Washington gets Achane and at 11 takes Downs or Mauginoa. Cap hit too big from Miami to can't trade Brooks unless Washington involved in a restructure. Brooks has no mid term value to Miami.
He'll no
Look, the key is that we have 1st or 2nd overall pick next year with all the good QB's available. For that to confidently happen, we need to let our best player go – Achane. With those QB's available next year, we keep our QB and trade our pick for 2 firsts and maybe 1 or 2 seconds. Team fixed in 2028.
What does Wicks bring that makes you feel comfortable going day 2? We have Malik Washington who already is on roster and matches what Wicks has done production wise
What if they are using the 30th pick and 2 to 3 thirds to trade up for sunny styles if they trade brooks
I’ve been screaming sadiq at 11. From jump. There is no better weapon give a young quarterback than a tight end. there and be arguments made for running back and tackles but a tight end. Is there Security blanket in your face.
If mauigioa is gone and downs is gone id get sadiq
Bro.. why you always yelling at the microphone lol. Always gotta turn you down. ANYWAY.. You are NOT replacing Jordyn Brooks with Sonny Styles. If you can watch Styles film and look me directly in the face and tell me you think he is a MIKE LB'er.. Then I don't know what to tell you. Styles projects better at the WILL. I do not want Styles attempting to shed blocks and clog the gap in the middle. On the edge and to the sidelines. Hell yes. But the man lacks tackling power. He consistently gets dragged for extra yardage when making tackles. Not what you want in a MIKE. I wish more people were talking about this.. Perhaps people just don't actually watch the film. Or consider it a non issue. Styles as a prospect is a freak athlete. But he is being overhyped. If he falls out of the top 10. Everyone will act surprised. And I'll be sitting here saying.. I told ya so. (NOT saying he will.. But I do think its possible based on what I've seen and said) I agree with you on Sadiq. But as an ex LB.. Your love for Styles is a bit head scratching to me. To all the Styles lovers in the chat. Go search his film on youtube and watch him tackle and tell me you want him as your Mike. Styles wouldn't be in my top 10. And yes I am aware that is controversial. I would only move up for Downs or Bain personally.
WOW!… I’ve been saying Sadiq is the pick I’d like from the get go… Being a Duck’s fan I’m kinda biased to want Ducks on the team… Wanted Herbert not Tua, said Bo Nix was the sleeper QB in that draft, think Moore is going to be the best QB in 2027 draft, not a Manning… So hearing Sadiq talk is making me have some hope again because I’ve been told ain’t no way we picking him every time I was bringing him up… I just think Dolcich is a solid #2 but not on the level of a Sadiq, Simms primarily a blocker, we gotta get another TE and the gap between Sadiq and the other TE’s in the draft is largest gap of all the positions in this draft… Malik needs weapons, Sadiq is a matchup nightmare for defenses, he’s going to be elite, a solid blocker for Achane on the edge so he helps with our OL needs as well…. Oh please, please Sully, DRAFT SADIQ!!! … “Malik to Sadiq, TOUCHDOWN”…sounds so good!… Don’t trade up. No need.
We might need o linesmen to protect/ block or we're still running on a treadmill, running but still not moving, o line/ d line plz
Only for a QB would I move up. They will.. or should get a starter at 11. If I was going to give up a third, it would be to move up a bit from the 30th pick.
Absolutely not trading up for anyone if anything trading down for an extra 3rd/4th or 2nd in 2027 because the board will fall to us
I think the trade up possibility with Washington was a phone call made by Washington. They have a clear desire to trade down.
So, the best part about this for Miami is that it might not come at a high cost. So, it's likely to just cost 1 third rounder.
And then if they draft Styles, they could trade Brooks and get a 2nd round pick or swap firsts with Dallas plus get that 3rd round pick back.
Mark Fletcher Jr ran over Sonny Styles in the Cotton Bowl in the first Quarter and Mark Fletcher Jr had his day against Sonny Styles all day long all 4 quarters in a big game ( Cotton Bowl ) !!! I'd go after Bain because he had much bigger success in big games samething as Mesidor !!! Next season I'd go after Mark Fletcher Jr because of what he's done in big games and his size.
Fins up
Sadiq all in, can play multiple positions. H back, TE, WR, full back, Wildcat
Hell last years team could win 5 to 7
I’m keeping all our picks. I’d rather trade back and add than lose.
I say it's all hype with this Oregon TE y'all be gaslighting and don't really know talent I'm from the mecca of athletes and know who is who y'all fansboys just go by hype
i am not trading up for anyone in this draft, we need to fill this roster
