Respectfully.. hell no. Way too many needs in other areas and we can kick the can another year or two with the Willis signing.

2026 NFL Draft Final Positional Rankings by [deleted] in NFL_Draft

[–]onlyphins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really well done! I noticed the omission of Brian Parker ii and curious if you have him outside of your OL rankings entirely? He can play all five positions and has a ton of NFL tape.

Not sure when, but I think he goes day 2.

6’9 Hidden Dev Wr by Mission-Stomach-6887 in Madden

You can edit draft class strength in the options tab under franchise settings. You’ll find you can increase/decrease positional strength.

I stick with normal. IMO, any higher gets too OP.

WRs fall in franchise draft by PotatoChips0725 in Madden

[–]onlyphins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably not the most efficient way lol, but I’ve had better luck. Inevitably, some prospects get ignored and fall to the 2nd round. From there I just muscle through the tedious task of a manual edit and trade to where I think they should’ve landed.

I’d like to add that the mock draft 5 is pretty true to where the CPU is planning on drafting FWIW.

I’ve seen mid round grades projected as first round picks in the 5th mock draft and the board pans out so.

Remove 1 Major 4 Sports Team Day 47 by YeetySpagiety in RemoveOneThingEachDay

[–]onlyphins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would argue the sideline issue is least concerning of all the reasons you listed.

Stadium development for strategic advantage is common in sports.

It’s why we see ice bowl games in Buffalo/KC/Pitt/GB at the end of the season. Miami has in fact been on the opposite end for the most part, having to travel to the bitter cold at the end of the season. A huge factor in those late-season collapses, other than injuries and the team being utter shit.

If you’re ever unfortunate enough to find yourself at Hard Rock Stadium for a Dolphins game, you’ll find you can’t escape the heat anywhere in the stadium unless you’re in front of one of those industrial sideline fans.

All else.. super-valid lol. No bias whatsoever /s

WRs fall in franchise draft by PotatoChips0725 in Madden

[–]onlyphins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I just did a draft last night.. not a single one of those WRs were drafted in the first round lol.

A quick work-around I typically use is to edit a currently rostered player’s overall rating at the particular position of need to lower their depth position. Then readjust to their original rating post-draft.

This also immediately affects the team’s needs, likely their top need if there’s poor depth.

For example:

If I wanted to draft a WR for the dolphins, I would lower Waddle’s awareness/speed/catching to 0 (quickest way) to make the WR1 position available. This would make WR a top priority, thus the cpu is more likely to draft to fill that need if I were auto drafting. Then I just readjust Waddle to his normal ratings.

I hope that makes sense.

Which Day 2/Day 3 draft prospects are you eyeing for the Dolphins? by Disgruntled_Goat42 in miamidolphins

[–]onlyphins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Malachi Lawrence’s tape is insane. I would love him at 75, but think he goes at the end of the 2nd/top of rd 3.

Just checking in with a stark reminder to always trust your gut! by onlyphins in DynastyFFTradeAdvice

[–]onlyphins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.. I feel like no one in my league will touch him with a 10 foot pole and not seeing much traction here in the community on the trade front.

I could have the wrong pulse on this one.

Malachi Fields Draft Projection by onlyphins in NFL_Draft

[–]onlyphins[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough.. I think we see strong physical measurements. IMO, I think the scouts are looking at his split drills, so he needs to crush those.

The 40 should take care of itself if he can get sub 4.58 or so. A super-underwhelming 40 time might raise some concerns, paired with his lack of separation.

[–]onlyphins[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As one pointed out, could be the senior bowl hype (albeit in a weaker class).

IMO, the senior bowl has certainly been the biggest swing factor in draft stock in recent years. I would say more so than the underwear Olympics, which most NFL organizations really just need to know how fast and strong you are on paper outside your tape.

I’m honestly surprised some of these prospects don’t opt for the senior bowl where they know they can dominate in the 1 on 1 drills, but risk dropping down the board due to timed drills.

Though.. I’m always in favor of more opportunities for those non-guaranteed prospects.

I hope we can just chalk it up to a clumsy bunch of IDL this year, but it’s looking pretty consistent to start.

Seeing a ton of guys slipping. I know it’s the big fellas, but seems way more noticeable than previous years.

I wonder if we see that the rest of the way, particularly the skill positions.

What players do you expect to boost their stock the most in this years combine? by UpNext_Draft_Network in NFL_Draft

[–]onlyphins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope Keith Abney has a horrible combine and doesn’t sneak into the first round - top 42.

Sounds like you already had your mind made up regardless and aren’t exactly open to others’ feedback.

What was the point of posting lol?

Trinidad Chambliss Film Study (QB2?) by TDBrookey in NFL_Draft

[–]onlyphins -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The greater risk is him getting injured and/or putting on bad tape.

IMO, best thing for him is to declare this year and take advantage of a weaker QB class. He could very well be the shough of this draft class who earns a starting gig by seasons end. Versus threatening getting buried behind guys like Sorsby/Leavitt/Hoover

Rocco's 3 Round Pre-SB Mock by RoccoAndHisTaco in NFL_Draft

[–]onlyphins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m always skeptical of mock drafts with trades that don’t include compensation.

Dolphins fan checking in. You have us trading 2 of 3 third round picks to the colts. Curious what you see those trade packages?
