As they ready for this year's NFL Draft, the talent level is much higher than before Parcells went to work. There aren't as many pressing needs, no have-to-get positions.
The Dolphins might not be ready to make a Super Bowl run this season -- I think this is their step-back season before a Super run in 2010 -- but the young talent Parcells has put on the roster sets them up as a potential contender for years to come and lets them enter this year's draft not being forced to take a specific position.
