ESPN has the Fins as winners. Not sure if this has been posted.

2. Miami Dolphins: Give Bill Parcells some credit. He was patient and made great decisions. First, he signed OT Jake Long to a five-year contract. The left tackle who will anchor the line will be at every minicamp and every day of training camp. In the second round, Parcells got 276-pound defensive end Phillip Merling. Parcells likes big bodies on defense, and Merling fits the job requirements. The bonus was getting Michigan's Henne with the 57th pick. The fact that Miami didn't take Henne at the top of the second round was a vote of confidence for John Beck. Parcells got the best of both worlds, because Henne can push Beck and veteran Josh McCown.
 
i give our draft a solid C+ with room to move.

i give that rating not because i dont like the pics or think
they were wrong positions, but just about all of them have
some sort of IF to them.... [i dont see 2 rb's though, that
was kind of off]

LONG might be rt side only

MERLING has the operation thing and is NOT ready.

HENNE is a qb with NO mobility and accuracy issues [i like him though]

LANGFORD small school, iffy competition

MURPHY same and is a converted DE [really like this kid though]

and i know most of these will not be issues but they ARE issues
and you never know. plus, soprano is making a HUGE mistake
on his assesment of our secondary. this was a a great class of db's
and we should have drafted two of them. but, we should have
last year to!

we score an average of 16 points a game for the last few years and
so far i dont see a change in that this year. its gonna be another
hope we hang on and win by 3 season.

but, if half these pics work out like the finz envision, this could be
an A draft easily.

Jeff Ireland said Jake WILL NOT play RT,ONLY LT

Merling is ready,go to his conference call on MiamiDolphins.com and listen,he said hes ready to play

So what if he was a DE converted,lots of NFL O-Line we converted sometime during their whole football careers.....Jake Long was a DT in high school,and now look at him...
 
Im telling you, Shawn Murphy is underrated, but lots of people are high on him. I dont get some of you, I really dont. We needed a guard, and we drafted two. We only have SO many first day picks. Some picks are bound to be in the later rounds, and you can rest assured there will be some lesser known guys picked before the USCs and the LSUs of the world.
 
1st and 2nd round... YES Dolphins were Winners

BUT 3-7th round, I think Dolphins weren't too good!
 
Seriously, why is that? Because they took a guy from Hampton instead of LSU? Demarcus Ware went to friggin Troy State. Or because they didnt draft a WR? So lets have another Devin Aromashodu? Or because they didnt draft Erin Henderson, the guy with a missing ACL? Or Ali Highsmith, who weighs 200 pounds?

Seriously, I guarantee I hit on AT LEAST one of the reasons, and its nonsense. Pure nonsense.
 
So the glass isn't half filled? be more positive, it all starts at the line of scrimmage, it's not a bad route that BP is taking, give it some time, the draft was weak after 2 rounds, it was'nt a strong draft and I think he did a good job, i'm giving him a b plus
