Henne moving up on Dolphins' wish list?
> Posted by hfialkov at 11:58:41 AM


Although my partner and seemingly every NFL exec at the Combine has grown in love with Delaware quaterback Joe Flacco, it seems that the Dolphins are focusing their ardor on Michigan quarterback Chad Henne as their potential second-round pick.

My sources say that the Dolphins haven't made any contact with Flacco since checking him out at the Senior Bowl and Combine, while a radio interview by Henne with ESPN-760 host Evan Cohen indicates he could be the pick at No. 32 - if he's still there.

"They wanted to know my character, what I am as a person, as a player,'' Henne told Cohen. "[We went] through what I know, how I go about myself during the game and off the field. So, I've had good contact with them.''
Last week Dolphins quarterbacks coach David Lee and national scout Ron Labadie dined with Henne before attending his Pro Day the next day. Henne said they have another scheduled dinner with him next Tuesday in Ann Arbor, and possible a private workout on Wednesday.

The nearly 6-3, 226-pound Henne is not as mobile or as large as the 6-6 Flacco and is more of a pocket passer, so he will need more developing. Because the Dolphins offensive line is a work in progess, expect John Beck and Josh McCown to battle it out this year while developing a young quarterback such as Henne. Stay tuned.

It's news like this that I can't understand, and leaves me scratching me head. In most draft circles, Henne is ranked as the 4th best QB entering the 2008 draft, and unless Ryan / Brohm / Flacco are all drafted in the first round, I just don't see Henne to Miami happening. Henne does absolutely nothing for me....

IN TUNALAND WE TRUST!!!
 
i hope not, hes got all the tools but in 4 years of starting at UM he never looked special, like a franchise qb should
 
I think he will go 3rd round. maybe that 1st pick in the 3rd round . But he is not going 2nd round Noooo way
 
I can easily see Henne going in the 2nd round, depending of course on what some QB needy teams like Atlanta and Baltimore do in the 1st.

Henne has, from what I've seen, the best arm in the draft. He 's performed at a major college level for years, been throught the wars. Between Henne and Flacco, I'm taking Henne.

The 4th best QB on "someones" board might be the 2nd or even 1st on another..

Who's to say Henne wont be the best QB in this draft?
 
Anyway...why don`t we strenghthen our o-line for last year`s 2nd round pick to succeed, first...

Well, if one pays close attention, u can realize that this is all a clue that MIA is indeed considering taking either Matt Ryan or Jake Long at #1. Think about it. They are scheduling a private workout/interview with Matt Ryan, they have focused mostly on Matt Ryan, and now they are evaluating who Mayock states is the second best QB in C Henne.

What does this mean? MIA is taking a close look at Henne to see if Ryan is "that much" better. If it concludes that Ryan is a whole notch higher than Henne, then Ryan is indeed going to be picked at #1. If it shows that Henne can become "just as good" as Ryan, then Jake Long is the pick at #1.

Why Jake Long and not Chris Long? Because they tried to sign Calvin Pace via FA, meaning that they are thinking someone else via the draft. Once they failed to sign Pace, they just decided: JT is being kept, the only way he doesn't play for MIA is if he retires. JT has confirmed he is "not" retiring. So that all but erases Chris Long from contention.

That leaves Jake Long(to fill the hole at LT/RT) and Matt Ryan(to fill the whole at franchise QB).

I could tell who posted this without reading who it was. You always twist information and try to make it fit into some plan that has us drafting Ryan.

Yea, I know....if its not the "sexy" pick it's the wrong one with most fans. Look at the Texan's who passed on R.Bush and hometown boy V.Young, both "sexy" picks.

They got an excellent pass rusher and perrenial pro bowler to be M. Williams.
 
Jake Long and Henne....the Miami Wolverines. Let's do it!!!!!
