What did we trade away?

 

[gotime909]

Next years 3rd it sounds like

 

[gotime909]

Fine with me

 

[Monster]

We gave up a 3rd next year. Good deal. We get at least 1 3rd rd comp next year that will make up for it

 

[mhughes0021]

Interesting pick. ..i like it. He's not going to stuff any holes.....but can get to the passer.

Mayhew already knows he's getting back at least a 3rd for the loss of Suh. Moving the future pick for a commodity today.

God, I hate trading away a 3rd though.

I saw several "experts" peg the Lions for a team that will trade because of the comp picks.

 

[gotime909]

Still don't know how we got that 5th rd pick though

It makes sense. I've read that we will get either a 3rd or 4th for Fairley (his compensation depends on his final numbers for this year) and we could get as high as a 2nd for Suh.

Gabe Wright*(DT)

HT:*6'3"*WT:*300LBS.

POSITION:*DT

SCHOOL:*Auburn

ARM LENGTH:*32 5/8"

HANDS:*10 3/4"

Overview

Very durable, playing in all 52 games during his four-year career. Selected to play in 2015 Senior Bowl, where he had two tackles, including a tackle for loss. Started final 10 games of 2013 and finished with 8.5 tackles for loss and three sacks. Started nine games from 2011-2012. Parade All-American, SuperPrep All-American and Under Armour All-American out of high school.

COMBINE STATS40 YARD DASH:*5.07 SECBENCH PRESS:*34 REPSVERTICAL JUMP:*26.5 INCHBROAD JUMP:*100.0 INCH3 CONE DRILL:*7.73 SEC20 YARD SHUTTLE:*4.56 SEC

ANALYSISStrengths

Great explosion into first step. Fires out with low pad level and plays with leverage at contact. Able to stay square and fight against double-team blocks. Has ability to get into gaps and disrupt the run game. Uses counter moves as a pass rusher, including a decent spin move. Shows signs of being able to read and react rather than just penetrate.

Weaknesses

Doesn't play with consistent power behind his pads. Must improve at disengaging and locating running back. Displays inconsistent secondary motor when asked to pursue plays beyond the line of scrimmage. Will run himself out of plays. Production was down from 2013, despite getting a higher percentage of snaps in 2014.

Draft Projection

Round 2 or 3

NFL Comparison

Terrell McClain

Bottom Line

Teams have an issue with his lack of production in 2014, but his initial burst off the snap can't be dismissed. Wright has been in a defensive-line rotation at Auburn over the last two seasons, but has never really shown an ability to be a run-stuffer. Wright is a fit in a penetrating scheme, but he must continue to improve as a pass rusher.

There is no such thing as a second round comp. do you mean for tampering? Cuz Mayhew dropped the ball on that.

God, I hate trading away a 3rd though.

Do we still get that high of a comp pick when we replaced him with ngata?

I wont even go into the fact we just used 2 picks to pick a rotational gut at best. That's mayhew. ...every year that's mayhew.

 

[cheeno]

Is your link saying he has great pad level KDP?

 

[Monster]

Still don't know how we got that 5th rd pick though

It was from the george johnson bumbling trade

 

[Monster]

I'd say with another FA pickup, the DT spot will look much better. Let's just hope Walker pans out.

 

[inkfreq]

Yes, I mean for tampering, because it's already been stated, Mayhew did NOT need to file any paperwork.

Filing paperwork forces the NFL to investigate. The NFL launched it's own investigation. Mayhew didn't need to do anything, it was already underway.

You guys seem to think the filing of a complaint is equal to accepting an extra pick. It's not. What the NFL will do, they will do without Mayhew. If they decide the Dolphins tampered, and by all accounts they did, they will take action regardless.

Again, the paperwork only starts the investigation by filing a complaint, it doesn't do anything more than that.

Ngata was a trade. It won't count toward comp picks

Yes, Ngata was a trade, not a signing, so it has zero bearing on comp picks.

#9 ranked DT according to Draft Guide book I bought. Solid pick
