The NFL Draft approaches. Football fans all over the country look forward to this event. Not so much in Miami, given the Front Office we have. For Fins Fans it’s about the same as your wife saying: "Honey, I’ve been thinking…"

A lot of talk from the so-called "Experts" on TV suggesting the Dolphins might be thinking about taking a Quarterback with the 11th Overall. That would be SO STOO-PID!!! So, naturally, we are worried. Of course, it wouldn’t be nearly as STUPID as trading up to get Baker Mayfield. So, naturally, now we thought about how dumb that would be, we are really worried.

Would also like to take this opportunity to point out just how terribly superficial and inadequate coverage of the Draft is on TV – especially on the NFL Network. These guys broadcast 24/7. You’d think they could manage decent analysis of the upcoming Draft. But all you ever hear about are the top 5-6 QBs, the top 5-6 Running Backs and Receivers, the top 2-3 prospects at all other skill positions. These guys could present in-depth analysis, videos of the top 20-30 players at each key position. Instead, we get Mock Drafts. They’re just a wild ass guess. They tell us nothing. (Except, of course, who are the top 5-6 QBs, the top 5-6 Running Back and Receivers, etc…) And if that’s not enough of a waste of air time and electricity, a week later all these alleged "Experts" are revising their Mocks, guessing their previous guess might not be too good a guess, I guess. What’s particularly stupid is when they start theorizing certain teams are going to be trading for picks. Swear to God, Miss Cleo could give better Draft Analysis than the NFL Network. Which is pathetic.

Right now the guessers are guessing a lot of teams are going for Quarterbacks. Could be as many as 4-5 QBs selected in the first 10 picks. If that should come to fruition it means a couple of premier LB or DB prospects might be available when Miami picks 11th. Tremaine Edmunds would be a Dolphin Legacy, but Roquan Smith, Minkah Fitzpatrick or Denzel Ward might still be on the board as well. Have also seen some talking heads suggesting the Fins might Draft DT Vita Vea to replace the loss of Ndamukong Suh. This would not be the end of the world, but I’d still hate to it given all the Draft Picks Miami has devoted to the Defensive Line over the last couple years while their Linebacking Corps and their Secondary has deteriorated into a league-wide joke.

Still, stories appear in local news, picked up by the Fantasy outlets, how Head Coach Adam Gase is "obsessed" with Baker Mayfield. This guy was supposed to be some kind of "Quarterback Whisperer" when Miami hired him. What do you think that’s whispering to Ryan Tannehill? In 2016, Gase’s first Season, Tannehill had the best year he’d ever had, actually looked like he might work out to being something more than a journeyman QB. Actually connected on some long passes. Apparently, however, Adam Gase opted for another PhysEd Class to get out of taking Psychology. For all this talk about being obsessed with Baker Mayfield can’t be too good for Tannehill’s psyche. But it’s like last year, when Tannehill re-injured his knee during Training Camp, suddenly there’s a mad scramble to sign Jay Cutler. Well, the Fins had been carrying Matt Moore for years. Now, he’s not good enough. When Cutler sucked, they had to turn to Moore. You think this guy’s going to give a crap at that point? And that’s overlooking – if Moore wasn’t good enough, why are you carrying him? The end result being we have to give a home game away to the Buffalo Bills to get a look at QB David Thales.

So, yeah, Fin Fans are enthused. We look forward to the Draft like it’s a root canal.

Last couple months I have posted this list. See no reason not to let it roll.

Miami’s off-season needs:

1.) Team Owner (with enough brains to hire a good)

2.) Team President (with brains enough to hire a decent)

3.) GM (who could do a decent job hiring a competent staff to evaluate talent)

4.) Head Coach (who doesn’t need a proctologist to comb his hair)

5.) Offensive Coordinator (who can coordinate an offense that can score)

6.) Defensive Coordinator (who can coordinate a defense that stops the other team occasionally)

And 7.) A few more players.

End.
