I just found a great article about recent trades and drafts .
it is by far the most inteligent writing i`ve read in the big tuna era that just started .

take a look guys and tell me your opinion . ................. http://www.realfootball365.com/nfl/articles/21266.html

i agree big time with this article . i feel in my personal opinion that we had a miserable 1-15 season under cam , but we have to give him credit ( and former GM also ) for having a draft that actually made sense . satele was great find , ginn is going to have an interesting rol , booker is a solid back up rb , and beck with a good o line can move the chains , not even brady could do to much with the pass protection he had . take a look at the SB for instance .
we are talking at least 4 good picks ...something nice as a monster draft for us is coming and we may end up having a young powerful team .
 
with people saying he'll be a RT in the nfl, and parcells loving to take def guys, i still say C long or dorsey is the pick. hopefully its C long though!
 
I agree with taking Jake Long 1 overall but the rest of that "article" is laughable at best.
 
Right now you could take Ryan, either of the Long's, Dorsey, Ellis and still have made a great choice for the Dolphins.

My long shot being true Parcells type of player's would be DRC or C. Campbell in the middle of the first round.
 
I don't think we can take an O-lineman with the first overall pick unless he is another Jonathan Ogden or Orlando Pace. I think Chris Long or Dorsey is the pick.
 
jake long, if the org. feels he is a franchise LT, would be an incredible pick. move carey to the right side, satale looks like a future start, add hadnot, and you have the making for a line that'll block for years.

you'll see how good most qb's and rb's can look behind a good line.
 
based on logic jake long makes a lot of sense . satele , carey and long is a soild young foundation for a superb o-line . but i agree parcells is more D oriented in drafts .

If you consider that Jake Long is a road hog and it appears that the Dolphins offense will be run first again...he would fit the need. Dorsey if the Dolphins only use a 4-3 defense...otherwise he's a wasted pick.
 
Jake Long is the pick i want, if not then trade down. Again i think i'd love seeing an o-line anchored by Jake Long, Vernon Carey and Samson Satele for the next 10+ years with Ronnie Brown in the backfield. Especially under the coaching of a guy like Sparano who specializes in the offensive line area and should help our running attack flourish.

exactly ...dorsey is better suited for a 4-3 . jake long will have more impact adding great talent to the o-line . since richmond webb we havent had a real impresive tackle . jake long will make satele and carey look even better .

amen to that . :hi5:
 
Jake Long makes a lot of sense at number one. Either him or Chris Long. I'm not sold on Dorsey or Matt Ryan at all.
 
Taking Jake Long #1 overall is stupid on many levels. For starters, taking an offensive lineman that high is a huge risk, way more than a QB. Secondly, our offensive line is the least of our needs right now. We have a good nucleus of players that are just starting to get used to each other. More shake-ups will only set them back, and the line played very good all year with the exception of the rebellion they staged when Beck came in the game. Thirdly, if you look at the track record of LTs taken in the first round in the past 20 years or so, waiting until later rounds to address the position makes infinitely more sense. LTs drafted in the first round, more often than not, are either converted to RT eventually because they can't man the position, or are released and wash out, or are traded.

Every year some oaf from the Big 11 comes out that supposedly will be the anchor LT of the future for their team and ends up doing jack ****. You have a better chance of finding your LT in a later round, there's no question.
 
i dont know about that . richmond webb was a first rounder . and jake long is a two time all american , he is gone in the first round . a risk would be ryan in the first round .
