Dolphins shopping Tedd Ginn

[SpearSrai]

Sources are saying that the Dolphins are looking to move Ginn sometime between now and draft-day. Ginn was one of the most highly-touted prospects coming into the draft, and it's actually debatable whether he or Brady Quinn have had the least successful careers thus far. I guess you have to say Ginn has produced more, since Quinn couldn't even stay in the lineup for long, but the fact remains that the Dolphins don't feel that Cam Cameron's first (and only) first-round draft pick has panned out.

 

So, just for the sake of argument... any interest here? The guy can get downfield, but can't catch. He's a somewhat explosive returner at times, so for the right price, maybe he's worth a gamble. I don't know what Cam thought of Ginn when he left Miami, but he obviously saw something in him at one point.

 

Nothing will come of it, but it's worth a discussion.

If grabbing him for a middle-round pick meant we didn't waste our 1st Rounder on Thomas then I'm 100% for it.

I'm torn on this. He could be a boost to our ST, he has some big play potential. As an OSU fan, I knew in college he wasn't a #1 wr in nfl.... his route running is poor and is too soft. But he could help us stretch the field. I wouldn't give more than a 5th for him, which I don't think would be enough for Miami to unload him. I would trade Mark Clayton or Dwill straight up for him.

 

Whats everyone else think?

We took a flier on Stallworth because he stretches the field, and Ginn can take a return to the house "whenever he touches the ball"... It seems like a 4th would be a good value for him (I realize we don't have one), and a 5th might be a "steal" (except that Santonio Holmes just went for a 5th). If you get the guy to extend, though, what are you paying him? You can't pay him like a top receiver, and return-specialists traditionally don't earn a lot. Look how much Cribbs got put through to get a deal in Cleveland...

I like the idea of a Clayton for Ginn swap, both guys need a change of scenery. It seems like that might be something that could interest Miami, and I would be willing to add in a late round pick to make that happen.

That wouldn't interest Miami whatsoever. They have a ton of solid (not #1) receivers. Ginn is the only one who sticks out, both because of his notoriety and his speed; Miami's receivers are possession types, by and large.

Point taken. With the arrival of Brandon Marshall, especially.

So let me get this straight...you're saying that Mark Clayton isn't a #1 receiver?

9ers got him for a 5th

Good deal for the 9ers. We spent a 3rd on Yamon Figurs...
