Dolphins draft status

Blitztoomuch · 04-14-2008, 11:38 AM

Boy I would hate to be the Miami Dolphins since they have a horrible draft situation. They desperately want to trade down because there is not a true #1 pick in this draft but there are no takers. Tisk Tisk. Jake Long would be a solid addition but I think the first pick overall would be a reach. He'll never be an Orlando Pace (the last tackle to be picked first overall). Chris Long is a solid football player but he's a defensive end and you don't spend tens-of-millions of dollars on a DE for a 3-4 defense. He's a good but not an outstanding, franchise caliber player. With Ronnie Brown showing promise and only being drafted second overall 3 years ago, McFadden would be a dumb selection. It would be like the New Orland Saints who believe in dumping over 10 million a year on two guys playing the same position when the defense is weaker than a wet noodle (remember defense wins championships). The last player who is possible is Matt Ryan. Matt Ryan reminds me much of Matt Leinart without the superhuman supporting cast. He is intelligent, has great intangibles, but is not physically a franchise quarterback. He will be a solid quarterback in the pros but will never be confused with the likes of Brady and Manning. I will admit that some physically challenged players have made it such as Brees, but its a longshot that Ryan will ever be close to Brees. So thats what I have to say about the Dolphin's draft situation.

I don`t know for sure they could pick Jake Long and take a QB later so he can go to them.

I think Ronnie Brown will start for them. What are they going to do with Ricky Williams?
