I'd prefer not, but Lamp is a damn good player FWIW. That being said, the broken record in me keeps thinking either DE or Peppers.

I haven't read the whole thread, but has anyone mentioned the fact that the Dolphins could at any given time rescind the free agent tender of Kiko Alonso rendering him a free agent?
Obviously the long term negotiations didn't pan out. Maybe Brown is just a bargaining chip, maybe not.
The FO under Tannenbaum/Grier has consistently said that they don't want to go into the draft with their hands tied by needs.

Am i not right in saying Lamp is a career tackle being projected to guard? I'd much prefer to draft a guard and do it a bit later in the draft.
College tackle conversion to guard is probably among the most successful transitions in the NFL.
I was one of the biggest advocates for going defense in this draft but one big issue that isn't being discussed much is the healthy of Tannehill. A partially torn ACL will never fully heal on it's own. That's why he is wearing the brace this year. That is taking away a big element of his game. Remember the roll outs and scrambles that resulted in big plays last year? Also, what does that do to his confidence? If I were the coaches, I would build a block wall in front of him and build another brick wall behind that one.
I believe Zack Martin was a tackle at Notre Dame. These guard projections are often very successful and some of the best guards in the NFL were career tackles in college.
Bu somehow we seem to have f'd that up twice with Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner. :-\ Go Figure.

Wasn't Thomas and Turner both tackles converted to guard? I have heard that we will probably draft tackle/guard this year, too. Not going to say it won't work out this time, but considering Pouncey's hip problems, maybe we should go for the center/guard combo instead.
