Rumors Fly & Trade Options
The Miami Dolphins are no strangers to rumors. Founded or unfounded. It?s typical this time of year when your grand master of all football is named Bill Parcells. Jeff Ireland last month told a contingent of media reporters that the Phins wanted to add at least 3 more picks to this years draft crop and that has fueled speculation as to where those extra picks would come from. With the draft a scant 6 days away, the Phins rumors are starting to fly.

Ted Ginn - The Dolphins would likely move Ted Ginn if they thought that they could get a decent offer. Ginn would flourish in a high-octane down-field attack like what will be installed in Chicago now with Jay Cutler or in Baltimore with Joe Flacco. Still, Ted Ginn has not impressed enough on the field to prove that he is no longer a project. Forget about where he was drafted, Ginn is being outplayed by un-drafted players across the league. The issue with Ginn is not his hands or his speed, it?s his ability to get off the line and fight through contact. When it gets physical, Ginn tends to struggle.

The Truth about TG rumors: There really isn?t any truth to them. Ginn will get traded if the Dolphins receive an offer that allows them to maximize their draft possibilities. Ginn however will become more expendable if the team decides to draft a 1st day WR that they will slot as the teams future number 1. In that case, Ginn may be gone for a 3rd or a 4th and I tend to believe it would be the latter if not a 5th. He might be worth keeping compared to what might be offered.

Is anyone here a Phins fan? Has he become a fan favorite or do they still think it was a bad pick (among the fans)?

I would say it is about split. Some realize you need to give a receiver three years in the league and have seen the improvements he has made and his potential. You also have to factor in that he has not a had a quarterback who could utilize his strengths.

Others will forever be upset about picking him 9th in the draft.

Which is quite likely with a QB incapable of throwing deep and taking him off return detail.

Some fans fell in love with Pennington, but what he did last year was the same thing he did in NY when he wasn't injured. He is efficient enough to get a team to the playoffs, but he can make the throws to become an elite team. There were at least two or three plays a game when Ginn would be wide open down field but Pennington wouldn't even be looking to make the throw.

Parcells loves Henne though and I can't wait to see Henne to Ginn.
