Didn't read the article, but from a need standpoint I'd go RT, LOLB, LG, CB, RB, DT, WR. That's assuming we re-sign either Soliai or Starks, Grimes, Jerry and Mckinnie...

Amazing how they forget Misi was resigned for 4 years. He isn't going anywhere. If stand up LBs are drafted they will be guys with talent that can develop behind those three (Jenkins) or get cut with little money and time wasted. Here is my projection:
1. Fat boy
2. Fat boy
3. Fat boy
4. Fat boy
5. Fat boy
6. Obligatory WR
7. Fat boy
Doesn't matter which side of the line. We need fat boys on the OL bad, we will need to replace at least one fat boy we lose on the DL.
I would love to see both Shazier AND Carlos Hyde drafted by the Dolphins. Shazier is very fast, and deceptively strong. He tackles with the best of them. Carlos Hyde is just a beast, the guy keeps his legs moving like not many I have seen in college. Carlos Hyde will be a great RB in this league. Miller and Hyde with a good o-line would be really tough to stop. Bu then again I am an OSU homer lol!
Hard to get into the draft stuff every year, when we received minimal contributions from this years picks:
Dion Jordan/DE/Oregon (first round/3rd overall) - Playmaker but apparently the coaches don't trust him enough on run downs.
Jamar Taylor/CB/Boise State (second round/54th overall) - Groin, hamstring, hip, toe, appendix, not sure if this guy will ever be "ready". Seems to have the skills though.
Dallas Thomas/OT/Tennessee (third round/77th overall) - I have no clue what this guys future is. All I've been hearing from this board is Bust City.
Will Davis/CB/Utah State (third round/93rd overall) - Run liability at his current weight, hopefully we can put some meat on him in the offseason.
Jelani Jenkins/LB/Florida (fourth round/104th overall) - Our scouts think all Florida players can ball for some reason. Didn't like this pick.
Dion Sims/TE/Michigan State (fourth round/106th overall) - Scored a game winning touchdown, blocks well, banished from the game plan for some reason.
Mike Gillislee/RB/Florida (fifth round/164th overall) - Average as hell back.
Caleb Sturgis/K/Florida (fifth round/166th overall) - Up and down kicker, surely not clutch. But hey, we saved money right! [sarcasm]
Don Jones/DB/Arkansas State (seventh round/250th overall) - Could be stud special teamer?
Why should we expect next years picks to get on the field?
