    Thanks for fanning me. I'm kinda new at B/R so I really appreciate it. I have been a Dolphin fan since the womb but have lived in Denver for almost as long as I did in S.Fla. I consider myself a fan of both but it's just been "easier" to root for the Broncos lately. I am a Broncos FC on here but plan on writing about fantasy as well once we get closer to the season. Thanks again!

    Interesting mock but Dallas for more likely to trade down than up in this draft. Jason Garrett and Stephen Jones are more running things than Jerry Jones. Check on who has visited on for prospects and chose one of those guys. Garrett by those visits plans on an interior lineman in the first two rounds probably 2nd so no way they give up a 2nd round pick.

    Alessandro, I see on your mock draft the GIANTS move from 63 to 54, swapping with Detroit.
    The mock draft shows the GIANTS losing a 3rd round pick. Was the loss of their 3rd round pick for moving up 10 slots in round 2? Or is a player involved?
    Please respond...

    Thanks,
    Jim Brier

    Tannehill threw for 16 INT's last year. He would have thrown for over 20 had he played 16 games. Let me tell you why drafting a guard will put Miami over the top.

    1. Miami was 30th in the league in QB hits last year.
    2. They were third in the league in Sacks allowed.
    3. As much as people want to make a case for QB, Matt Moore was pretty good last year. He had a QB rating of 87.5. That's good for 12th in the league. He was actually ahead of guys like:

    Jay Cutler, Michael Vick, Cam Newton, Flacco, Palmer, Dalton, Fitzpatrick.

    He did this while still getting sacked at an alarming rate. Think of what he could do in a quick pass west coast offense with an offensive line that can protect him. DeCastro is the only player at 8 that one can say with confidence will be a perenial pro bowl player. They are comparing this guy to Steve Hutchinson. In other words, he's a once in a decade type player. He would single handedly improve our running game. With one pick Miami will drastically improve their rushing and passing game. We'll have the best three headed monster in the league. Long, DeCastro, and Pouncey. Image that left side.

    Philbin has already commented on Miami's need on the offensive line. Look for Miami to land either the All Pro guard DeCastro or the solid Reiff with the 8th overall pick.

    1. DeCastro
    2. Nick Perry
    3. Harrison Smith (We have to get a safety. Smith is projected to be the best safety when it comes to covering TE's. (Gronk, Hernandez, Keller, TD Chandler)
    3. Mohamed Sanu or Quick
    4. Best Available (there is always someone who falls to the 4th)
    5. Brock Oswieler (6'6 242 cannon arm)
    6. best available
    7. best available

    Thanks so much for fanning me on here, I really appreciate the support :) I see you're a new writer—5,000 reads for your third piece is pretty impressive! I write mostly pop culture stuff, where reads come much easier, but it's a much tougher game with legit sports stuff :)

    I'm actually a huge Peyton Manning fan, so I'll be sure to check out your stuff. Thanks again, and feel free to message me if you have any questions about writing for BR—I'm no expert, but am always happy to share my experience.

    Keep up the good work!
