FINS FIXIN' TO MOVE UP?
pft.com

Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that the Dolphins might be bringing in quarterbacks JaMarcus Russell and Brady Quinn for pre-draft visits.

Though there's a chance (albeit slim) that Quinn will still be on the board when the Fins use the No. 9 overall pick, it's unlikely that Russell will fall that far.

Thus, Salguero suggests (and we agree) that Miami could be plotting a move up in round one.


There are rumors of talks between the Lions and other teams about the No. 2 overall pick, which Detroit currently owns.
Indeed, we've caught wind of a trade that almost went down on Wednesday, which would have dropped Detroit deep into round one.

Under the trade value chart, the Fins would have to come up with 1,250 points in order to bridge the gap from No. 9 (which is worth 1,350 points) to No. 2 (which is worth 2,600 points).
Alternatively, they'd be required to pony up an acceptable pack of players, possibly including quarterback Daunte Culpepper.

If healthy, Culpepper could be an intriguing fit in the Mike Martz offense.
Some of Culpepper's best throws have come when he acts decisively in response to his first read.
If Martz could get him to make quick decisions in a fast-paced offense, Culpepper might perform far better than when he stands in the pocket like a moose in the headlights.

Culpepper in a Lion uniform.
I bet he'd love that.
For some reason playing him twice a year doesn't nearly haunt me as much as playing Moss twice a year.
I honestly hope he does not get picked up by the Packers.
As far as Daunte going to Detroit, so be it.
It will nice sacking him for two games a year instead of one game every three years.

I hope this happens.

It would just be funny that he would be back up in the snow far away from the state of Florida.

By all means, let this trade happen!
I would much rather face Culpepper twice a year than Quinn or Russell!

It would be funny to Culpepper in a Lion's uni and Moss in Green and Gold.

Good luck with that. Culpepper will never be that kind of QB. It is why I never liked him in purple, too many 'Moose in Headlights' plays.

Not true.
That is the type of system Linehan had him in in 2004.
You know, the year that he performed better than every other QB except for Paton Manning?

But I don't think that he could perform the same in Detroit. No Moss and a broken body.

I think Pep would have a very hard time in Madman Martz's system, he just holds the ball to dang long.
