If his shoulder checks out, which I think it will, he's intriguing in the second or third round. I think he's got a lot of upside, and if you believe in your coaching staff and your ability to get this kid on the right path, he's a really talented kid. |
It felt like on tape that Eric struggled with speed all season long and the same thing happened at the Senior Bowl. He's got short arms. I think he's gone from a high-level first-round left tackle to at best a second-round right tackle. |
It's kind of a boom or bust. |
My pet peeve with the combine is that, with the perception of the dollars that can be made there, all the kids are training specifically for the drills that are run at the combine, as opposed to training to become better football players. They're not necessarily the same thing. |
Now is the time, or next year is the time, depending on whether or not a kid catches their eye. They have to start to groom somebody for a couple years down the road, I agree. |
Sitting at No. 1, you think what football player is going to help us be the best team we can be, and we can't worry about what Tennessee does. If we happen to take the guy they want, and it's the guy we want, that's even better. But we can't worry about it. |
Teams want more speed at all 11 spots and the emphasis is getting to the quarterback. If you have that skill, you're going higher in the draft than ever before. |
To me, there are three franchise quarterbacks in this draft, and the Dolphins won't be in position to draft any of them unless they trade up. I think all three of them will be gone in the top 10 [picks], maybe the top five. |
You have to match up players with schemes. |
You've got three potential franchise quarterbacks who all should go in that top 10. |
