Not knowing what 7th round pick the Dolphins gave up for Tony McDaniel I'm going to assume it's the 197th pick from Cleveland.
1st round- 25th-----C. Barwin....OLB/TE...No OLB in this draft has more upside than Barwin. It's rare to find a player that has his speed, size and agility and can play two positions. The fact that he show so well at the combine and also at his pro-day just makes him more than likely to be gone before the Dolphins select at 25...but I will keep him the Dolphins pick, at this time.
2nd Round- 44th----Sean Smith...CB...A Parcells type of player...size decent speed. He would help covering the larger receivers the Dolphins will face at least twice a season.
"Smith has rare skills that might allow him to stay at corner against tall and talented NFL receivers. He bolstered that opinion at his pro day workout with a 40-yard time of 4.43 seconds. His 40 time at the combine was 4.50. As a starter the past two seasons, Smith was extremely productive with nine interceptions and 15 pass breakups. He actually began his career at wide receiver for all but two games of his redshirt freshman season."
2nd Round- 56th---Herman Johnson... RG/RT...A mountain of a man that can play at both Guard and RT. He has shown that he understands that he had to lose weight...and he has done so...weighing in at 356. When you look at him playing next to Carey...it has to make the rushers giddy.
"Despite his massive frame and considerable bulk, Johnson is surprisingly light on his feet, registering 16 down field blocks over the past two seasons. He shows very good mechanics for a player of his size and his road grading ability could see him shift to offensive tackle in the NFL, as he also has performed at right tackle during the earlier stages of his career with the Tigers."
3Rd Round- 87th---Shawn Nelson---TE....Has alot of upside as a TE...Needs to add weight but has very good speed.
I don't see David Martin sticking with the team and wouldn't be surprised if he was traded after the draft.
4th Round- 122....Johnny Knox...WR...A receiver with blazing speed and natural hands. Needs work running routes...but has ability and is aggressive over the middle.
5th Round- 153....Jasper Brinkley...ILB....Productive ILB that is coming off a injury in 2007.
"At the combine, Brinkley sped through 40 yards in 4.67 seconds, leaped 35?? inches in the vertical jump and showed that he is plenty strong by benching 225 pounds 26 times. He has the strength to be a force inside and the speed to rush off the edge."
7th Round- 215...Cris Baker...NT....Great Numbers...checkered past....thats why he will drop. With the 215th pick you don't lose much in taking a chance on him.
7th Round- 220...Demetrius Byrd...WR...Unproductive WR...with blazing speed. You can never have enough fast receivers and it's time to load up on the offense.
