    Ronnie Brown

    Per Rotoworld:

    In an effort to accumulate draft picks, the Dolphins are reportedly open to trade talks involving almost every player on the roster.

    According to a team source, "everyone is in play" as the Dolphins attempt to add more draft picks in rounds two through five. Ted Ginn and Justin Smiley are openly on the trade block, and reports have surfaced that Ronnie Brown and Tyler Thigpen are also being shopped. Considering his contract situation and Lisfranc fracture, Brown isn't likely to fetch more than a mid-to-late round pick.

    What would you think of trading for Brown, and what would you be willing to give up for him (if anything)?

    I like Brown, but I don't think he would be the right fit for the Rams.

    However, I mentioned this last year after the Chiefs got Cassel, I think Thigpen has a great deal of potential to be a starter in this league. If for some reason we don't take Sam I think he's worth a look for a mid rounder.

      Re: Ronnie Brown

      If you're going to give me a young QB with at least some promise of being a starter for a id round pick, I'll jump on him. Just like I would support giving our 5th round pick to the Skins for Campbell, I'd be happy to give it for Thigpen.

      But, back to the thread title. Brown has worked well in a tandem system, and he would give us a 1B back to go along with Jax. However, I feel that his asking price will be too high if his fracture is healing well, and overpriced even at a mid round pick if it's not.

        I would give up a 4th for Brown, not really anymore because we can easily get a younger back with upside in the 3rd.

          i would consider a mid-round pick for smiley, but brown is unnecessary since he will probably take a 2nd or 3rd.

            Re: Ronnie Brown

            I dont think smiley is truely worth a mid-round pick....i think he's more of a 2nd or a 3rd......and the reason I say that is because he is a decent starter as a guard.......but I think we have too many needs to give up another pick for an Olineman unless he was a forsure proven guy. But as for as the thread Ronnie brown could complement S. JAX..... but i think we could save money and picks if we jus try and get a RB in the up coming draft......because it would be cheaper to sign a young running back instead of buying an already proven guy....yea he has the injury....nd he has played in an offense that has dealt with 2 backs....but why not get a fresh back out of college that we dont have to necessarily have to worry bout getting injured....

              They are supposedly looking for a 3rd for Smiley. It might not be bad except for his injury history. The 'phins have apparently already penciled Incognito in as the starter and told Smiley not to come to OTAs. Smiley is reasonable this year at around $2M, but he's in the $4-5M range for 2011-12.

              I actually like Ronnie Brown, but I agree that he's not a very good fit for the Rams. Better to take a shot on a younger guy, especially considering his durability issues. It's not one guy that will put you over the hump, you need to put players together for the future and this is a deep draft.

                    Re: Ronnie Brown

                    Ted "I got no hands" Ginn? No thanks. Now, Henne on the other hand, I'll give him our 3rd and call it a day. That's close to a 2nd.

                      Henne is their starter, they wont give him up that cheaply. Especially after getting him a decent weapon in Marshall

                      Ginn on the other hand i would look at if he were a free agent, but i wouldnt give anything up for him. I read that last year his yards after catch average was 1.3. Considering he is meant to be a shifty guy, thats pretty poor. Its even poorer when you consider 1.3 yards is only 3.9 feet, and Ginn is 5'11. If he were to catch the ball and fall forward instantly, he would get more YAC then he averaged last year.

                        Re: Ronnie Brown

                        That is pretty piss poor given that he's supposed to be a shifty guy as opposed to a possession receiver. Maybe we should send him an email suggesting that he'll get better stats, and maybe keep his job, by just falling down after the catch! Nice calculation Tomahawk.

                          id love to take credit for it but i read it on Shutdown Corner on Yahoo! still, thought it was worth mentioning!

                            J. Brown versus K. Barnes
                            by ramhard
                            It looks like it will come down to one of these two if available. The scouting reports have Brown being 'nastier' while Barnes is more athletic. I think a lot will depend on the Pace situation. If the Rams so into the draft dragging Pace with the franchise then I think the pick is Barnes as he can play LT. Brown has been a pure RT. If Pace is signed to a long-term deal by then, then I think the pick is Brown.

                            Duane Brown/Sam Baker
                            by Bar-bq
                            A player creeping up a lot of draft boards at this point in time is Virgnia Tech's OT Duane Brown. So much so that he looks to be being considered as high as Atlanta's first second round pick in some mock drafts.

                            I recognise that some posters have expressed dissinterest in USC's Sam Baker, after questionable workouts and what looks to falling stock. It makes me wonder...Who Ya Got?

                            Is anyone here high enough on Brown and low enough on Baker to take him at number 33? Better value can probably be found at WR, with a player like Hardy, but it's concievable we can pick up better value at WR in round 3 than we can in round 2, with players like Avery and Lavelle Hawkins projected to be available.

                            Has anyone heard anything about Brown because after listening to Jim Thomas on the radio to me it seems like the rams feel like he might not be available to them at the beginning of this season if not longer just like last year. He never comes out and says that but he alludes that they know something they can't really talk about.

                            I listened to it on STL Sports Insider - St. Louis Rams

                            Brown Hopes to be the Right Choice at Tackle
                            Friday, April 15, 2005
                            By Nick Wagoner
                            Staff Writer

                            Jammal Brown always knew that one day he would be lining up in the trenches in the NFL. According to Brown, it was predestined that one day he would be going head to head with someone about his size on Sundays.

                            Of course, Brown always thought he would be doing his business on the defensive side of the ball. Coming out of McArthur High in Lawton, Okla., Brown was one of the top defensive tackles in the nation. After committing to the home-state Sooners, Brown arrived ready to put pressure on the quarterback.

                            When Oklahoma asked him to protect the signal-caller instead, Brown thought about transferring. All he ever wanted was to play defense and nearly moved to Miami to become a Hurricane.

                            Four years later, here Brown sits as one of the top offensive tackles awaiting his fate in the April 23 NFL Draft. Standing 6-feet-6 and 313 pounds, Brown possesses excellent quickness and burst off the ball. But it is his mean, nasty streak that sets him apart from other tackles.

                            In his final two years at Oklahoma, Brown allowed just one sack, a testament to his spiteful disposition on the football field.

                            “I just know that I was always taught to not let anybody get near your quarterback, so that’s what I did,” Brown said. “It’s a personal thing because you don’t want those guys just to beat you and all of the fingers will be pointing at you. So, I just make sure that no one comes close to him.”

                            Brown’s quarterback, Jason White, was so well protected that he won the Heisman Trophy two seasons ago and finished in the top five last year. In fact, Brown and the rest of the offensive line were so dominant this past season that running back Adrian Peterson was also a Heisman finalist. Brown earned the Outland Trophy as the nation’s top interior lineman for his efforts in 2004.

                            Things haven’t been easy for Brown throughout his college career, though. He suffered a serious knee sprain in fall camp before the 2000 season. He missed the entire year. Then, in his final college game, against USC in the Orange Bowl, Brown suffered a left shoulder strain. The injury wasn’t serious, but also came in the middle of a shellacking by the Trojans adding insult to injury.

                            Since that final game, Brown has done nothing to hurt his draft stock. He is clearly one of the three best tackles in the draft after having an impressive pro day at Oklahoma and running a solid 5.01 in the 40-yard dash at the combine.

                            One thing Brown has going for him is the fact that he is pretty much built to play right tackle because of his run blocking ability. He will probably be the second offensive tackle off the board after Florida State’s Alex Barron. One team that could have its eyes on Brown is St. Louis.
