kinda strikes me as odd that an ol isn't on that list
Might be trying not to tip their hand.

lol what is there to tip? The world knows we need OL. We should be talking to every OL and any other prospect that even thought about playing OL.Might be trying not to tip their hand.

or......they could be f**king with the other 31 teams with the positions outside of ol, instead of indicating who they really want at those positions they interviewed.lol what is there to tip?

jesus lets hope not, we've been blind leading the blind for way too longor Hickey could be incredibly ignorant and clueless???.......lol
I've said it before, but I'm not a fan of the TE's in this draft. ASJ and Niklas have the size I like but ASJ isn't fast enough to be marquee and has some injury issue that's even preventing him from running. Niklas is big but not fast and simply too raw for me.
Ebron and Lyerla have the athleticism, but both are small, Ebron is a sure-fire first rounder (not interested in him in the first round), and Lyerla is a druggie with all kinds of off the field issues and questionable work ethic and intelligence ... but Lyerla is the most athletic TE in this draft and possibly the most athletically gifted athlete in this draft. There's a good chance he goes undrafted because he's such a knucklehead.
If Trace Amaro drops into the 2nd round (highly unlikely), I'd be interested, or if ASJ drops to the 3rd I'd be interested ... but it doesn't look like we'll be drafting a TE this year. The talent just doesn't match up with what our scheme demands and it's not as big of a position of need as LT, RT, LG, RG, or even possibly C.
Lazor likes big TE's and he uses them well. These TE's under 6'5 probably aren't high on his list.
IMHO, we missed the ideal guy last year in Tyler Eifert. Zack Ertz was the other guy that made a lot of sense under Sherman ... but he also might be a little small for Lazor's taste.
For what its worth, The kid from colorado Gilmore is jumping up to late 2nd round early 3rd round. I think he made some money at the Senior Bowl and just what little I saw today catching balls downfield, he has more ability deep. The high ball he caught over the middle at Senior Bowl was impressive.

I taped yesterdays combine
Here is a list of players I've gathered that met with the #Dolphins
Logan Thomas QB
Tre Mason RB
Ka'Deem Carey RB
Dave Fluellen RB
Donte Moncrief WR
CJ Fierdorowicz TE
Kharri Fortt LB
Kareem Martin DE
Khairi Fortt is a value pick for linebacker. Had a tumultuous college career in terms of school/coaching changes, which derailed his progress a bit, but no doubting he's a talent available at a stage in the draft that can only be called high value. Not convinced about his instincts, which is a pretty big open question for a LB, but my impression is that he has decent instincts but doesn't trust them enough. Could maybe be a consideration for Will backer after a season of coaching up.
Still think we should draft a guy to play straight away and I like Mosley and Smallwood in that order. Plus also like Jake Doughty of Utah St as a 7th rounder/UDFA.
that's way too rich for my blood...

let's hope this is just mostly due diligence
I'm interested to see how Sutton performs at the combine. He can really help himself if he shows up in good shape. He was nasty in 2012.
Thomas may be worth a look as a developmental qb
Somebody said that some teams asked him if he would transition to TE.It was Mayock (I think) yesterday who said Thomas might transition to TE in the NFL.
