FalconMama Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 - Dolphins don't want Matt Ryan. People Schefter respects love Ryan. The Ravens would "do cartwheels" if Ryan falls to them. The Ravens may trade up to get him (Chiefs? - my thoughts here). - First two picks will be JLong and Dorsey "take it to the bank". Dorsey could even go #1 in a trade up. Dolphins will trade with "any partner" - then he says "tune in to NFL Network tonight" (Patriots? - my thoughts here)- Jason Taylor was going to be traded for 2nd or 3rd, seems like a 2nd now - could even go up from there. Says again he can't say everything he knows. (then says Ireland hasn't returned his calls). Dolphins aren't talking to anyone in the media about their plans - keeping everything very tight.- Jake Long is the only player the Dolphins have talked to as of yesterday. They are not close on an agreement. Long has not been given a deadline - even if Parcells has said there is one in his mind to Peter King.- A coach with a top 10 pick said to him "isnt it interesting that you havent heard MCFadden's name come out of the Fins camp at all"? Schefter says he doesn't believe that McFadden is in play at #1, but that this coach said McFadden is #1 on his board. - Didn't directly address question about Beck's future with the Dolphins, but suggested that if the #1 is JLong, then could be a combo deal with a 2nd round QB.

DerrtyBirdGirl Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I wouldnt be surprised if Miami is giving a smokescreen with this whole Jake Long situation. I expect them to keep the number 1 pick and get either Chris Long or Glen Dorsey. I want the falcons to get Dorsey but I can see Miami snatching him from us. I mean think about who we're dealing with here. We're talking about Bill Parcells. He was supposedly "CLOSE" to signing with us as our VP then what happened? Lo and Behold he goes to the Dolphins. He used us then and now I think hes using Jake Long to get who he REALLY wants which maybe be Dorsey or Chris Long to take less money. Anywho, I dont see Miami taking J.Long. But thats just my 2 cents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxatlanta Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 - A coach with a top 10 pick said to him "isnt it interesting that you havent heard MCFadden's name come out of the Fins camp at all"? Schefter says he doesn't believe that McFadden is in play at #1, but that this coach said McFadden is #1 on his board.I'm sure that a coach in the top ten is volunteering that DMAC is number 1 on his board. That's gotta be true. I mean that coach can trust Schefter not to put it in his column or share that info with everyone right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red2play Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Adam schefner knows nothing. No team is giving away their strategy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4DR0X Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 lmao, STL is not passing up Chris Long...Even Adam Schefter is clueless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papeezi Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 adam shefter is rarely wrong, but i hope he's wrong bout this! i really want glenn dorsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M4DR0X Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Again he is clueless if he believes the rams will pass up on a DE named Chris Long for Glenn Dorsey.Their biggest needs is DE, their going with Chris Long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 M4DR0X (4/16/2008)Again he is clueless if he believes the rams will pass up on a DE named Chris Long for Glenn Dorsey.Their biggest needs is DE, their going with Chris Long.I wouldn't say he's clueless... he just relays the information he gathers from coaches and front office personnel. The Rams would be clueless to go with Dorsey over Chris Long... Schefter has nothing to do with it. Schefter is right far more often than not... but this could go either way. Parcells is a snake and this draft is going to be crazy because there are only a few elite players and then a gaggle of high end prospects below them and they're getting all rolled up into one. It's really hard to tell what's going to happen because some players are getting ratings in the media that they really don't deserve. Not that this is uncommon, but it's pretty crazy this year.

A lot of the mock drafts and the talking heads are talking about the scenerio where Jake Long and Dorsey go one and two. Schefter isn't going out on a limb with that.

Serge Storms Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 You can make an argument for Chris Long or Dorsey being the better linemen, I just hope that we take whichever one the Rams leave us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
featherz17 Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 The Rams could go Dorsey and move Carriker back outside where he played at Nebraska. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Reality Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Mortenson was on the radio and backed the idea that Miami is for real in their talks with Long. He is as believable as anyone. Don't remember there being this much uncertainty about the top couple of picks for years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him being a lot better in that role than as a 3-4 DE... but I suppose he could do either.It doesn't make sense for them to take a prototypical UT if they want to move to a full 3-4.

Mort is just on speed dial with a few agents and waterboys... Schefter actually has relations with a ton of front office people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
