Jason Cole, of the Miami Herald, reports the <A href="http://www.kffl.com/team/22/nfl">Miami Dolphins will do their usual homework on three linebacker prospects available in the NFL's supplemental draft July 13. LBs Ahmad Brooks (Virginia), Jason Berryman (Iowa State) and David Dixon (Hutchinson Community College) are the three most notable players in the draft. Head coach Nick Saban said, "''We'll do our homework on all of them as we would with any player who was going through the regular draft. But we're not going to compromise our principles and values just because we might have a need at that position."

They could be very interested in Ahmad Brooks but as always Saban is giving his poker face. He dosen't want anyone to know that he's interested in Ahmad Brooks because he dosen't want to give away the competitive advantage.

 

[PhinSoldia]

we know about Brooks but whats the word on the other two

 

[Bjorn]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! I will be happy if we get any of the 3. I'm glad they're showing interest.

 

[TotoreMexico]

I hope we can get either Brooks or Dixon

 

[GoonBoss]

It's good that we have minds at work at something besides
doing shaddow puppets during the off season.

It`s Saban we`re talking about. Of course he`ll do his homework.

Whoa! We knew about Ahmad but up till now this is news as far as some interest in Berryman and Dixon. Heard of Berryman before but nothing on Dixon. Does anyone has some insight into Dixon; his strengths and weaknesses, some history on him, any significant injuries in the past etc.

Ahmad Brooks, Virginia (Jr.) – Dubbed half man and half amazing by a former coach, Brooks possesses uncommon athleticism for a linebacker his size. He’s 6-4 and 250 pounds, yet plays with the agility and quickness of a safety. He makes quick reads and easily sheds blockers, enabling him to be a force in run defense. And although he plays inside and is rarely asked to do so, Brooks has the explosive burst, hand skills and vision to wreak havoc rushing off the edge. He shocked many by passing on the pros after last year, but similar restraint next January is extremely doubtful.
Shades of…LaVar Arrington

I dunno - he could have a career like Lawrence Taylor - or like Lawrence Phillips.

 

[elite14eva]

anyone think we have a shot at getting brooks & if so what round do you think he falls in?

 

[icephinfan]

I hope we land Brooks!!!:dolphins:

I think that sums it up pretty well.
