1. Roland McClain - LB Alabama -- The big question is whether he'll drop to the middle of round 1. He may not be available when Miami picks, but he is a Bill Parcells type of player - tough, versatile, athletic and with great intangibles. If McClain is gone my second choice here would be Jermaine Gresham to give Henne a great weapon in the passing game.
2. Brandon Graham - DE/OLB Michigan - A Lamar Woodley clone, Graham is projected near the bottom of round 1/top of round 2. However, he won't impress with his athletic ability at the combine and may drop a bit. He is a player, though, and a perfect fit for what Miami does on defense. Joey Porter is close to done and Jason Taylor won't be around much longer either. The Dolphins need a pass rusher to eventually replace these guys.
3. Jimmy Graham - TE Miami -- A 6-8 tight end who can run in the 4.6 range. It's no secret that the Dolphins need to upgrade their pass catchers and give Henne some talent to work with. Graham is a step in that direction.
4. Kelton Tindal - WR Newberry -- A 6-3 small school sleeper with amazing speed (listed at 4.25). A gamble on greatness type of pick.
6. Jerell Powe - NT Ole Miss -- A run stopper, who at 6-2 330 has the size to challenge for a starting role.
6. Danio Alexander - WR - Missouri - A similar prospect to Patrick Turner, who at 6-5 shows good ability to go up and get the ball. Injuries drop him down.
7. Cam Thomas - DT N. Carolina -- A NT prospect at 6-3, 330.
7. Terrell Hudgins - WR. Elon -- Speed is a question, but he is a player with pretty good size at 6-2. Miami loads up at wide receiver.
