Just watched Lincoln Kennedy on Total Access say the Dolphins should take Antrel Rolle with the second pick. Thinking is that we`re showing zero confidence in AJ, and that we`re pretty much admitting we wasted a 2nd round pick when we traded for him if we draft a QB. Also said there`s not a RB available that warrants going in the top 5. He said we might surprise and take an O lineman with the pick too....if we don`t trade down of course. Take it with a grain of salt people.
That is not what he said. Here is what he set in STANDPOINTS :D
-I think Miami may consider a guy like Antrell Rolle to help that revamped defense.
-Neither of the top QBs look like they are franchise guys, plus if you go with one of them you are showing that you don't have much faith in Feeley, who you gave a #2 to get.
-None of the top backs are top 5 players (yeah, OK Lincoln, I just dismissed your draft savy after that
)
-Lincoln doesn't think either QB or RB helps this team at all next year (nevermind the fact RB is one of the easiest places to make an impact as a rookie
)
-Picking a guy like Rolle will get you a solid defensive player for the overhaul, that is local and something that can help your franchise sell tickets (sorry, we don't need him to help sell tickets either, Lincoln)
-Eisen asks about Edwards and Williams. Lincoln said both great picks too but not sure if they would make an initial impact
-"Ya never know, offensive line is a possibility as well. Ya just don't know at that pick really, Miami needs A LOT of help on the offensive side"
-caveat: all this implies Surtain gets traded to KC for a 2nd
As you can tell by my comments in parentheses....I think Lincoln's "expert analysis" was friggin idiotic! It may be the dumbest player choice I have ever heard at #2 for this draft. I'd rather take Derrick Johnson because we KNOW we at least need a LB.
