High five!
Like most of you, I feel we will draft at least three OL with our first five picks. Sears/Alleman are two guys I've liked for awhile now and the more I read, the more it seems the Dolphins do too. In my opinion, at #9 if Landry is there we have to take him since he is the BPA and probably the best defensive player in the draft. Aundrae Allison might be a reach at #60 but his stock has been improving and he has the potential to be a nice WR. Frye in the 4th is our usual "mid round OL" to develop pick, he has a lot of potential and Houck can definately turn him into something special a la Alabi.
Round 1 (09) - LaRon Landry, S, LSU
Round 2 (40) - Arron Sears, OT, Tennessee
Round 2 (60) - Aundrae Allison, WR, East Carolina
Round 3 (71) - Andy Alleman, OG, Akron
Round 4 (104) - Brandon Frye, OT, Virginia Tech
Round 6 (166) - Garrett Wolfe, RB, Northen Illinois
Round 7 (200) - Bo Smith, CB, Weber State
Round 7 (219) - Antwan Applewhite, DE, San Diego State
There were also a couple of guys I really wanted to include but didn't really see them fitting into our draft but here are some names
1. Le'Ron McClain, FB, Alabama: I think he fits our offense really well and I love the way he plays the game; the only thing is that we'd probably have to draft him in the 4th since he is suppose to go in the 5th and we don't have a 5th but if he is there in the 6th I'd love to have him
2. Yamon Figurs, WR, Kansas State: If we can get this guy in the later rounds, I'd be estatic. He ran the fastest (or one of the fastest) 40's at the combine at 4.30 and he even beat Devin Hester in track as a prep. One of our biggest weakesses is our lack of a KR/PR and I think this guy can be a nice late round addition that can fill that need. The problem, however, is that I'm sure some team will gamble on him in the middle rounds.
3. Michael Allan, TE, Whitworth: Havn't heard a lot of talk about him but I definately like his potential even though he is still fairly raw. Allan is one of the fastest TE's in the draft and he has good size at 6'6. Also played college basketball so you know he can jump and use his body.
4. LaRon Harris, DT, NW Oklahoma State: Transferred out of Tennessee and didn't get much playing time so he is VERY raw and a big project but he recently "....ran a 1.7 10 yard shuttle, did 33 bench press reps, displayed a 33.5" vertical leap and ended it all with a back flip at 345 pounds". I know we already have a lot of young projects at DT but I'd be all for bringing this guy in as a late round pick and giving him some time to develop.
