Miami Dolphins Line-Up for 2008,including expected draft picks

[MiamiDolfan85]

QB>-John Beck,Josh McCown,Matt Baker or Casey Bramlet(i think Cleo is gone)

RB>-Ronnie Brown,Ricky Williams,Lorenzo Booker

FB>-Reagan Mauia

RWR>-Ted Ginn Jr.,Derek Hagen,Kerry Reed,

LWR>-Bryant Johnson#(unless Keyshawn comes in,although we're probably going to spend the same amount of money,so I think Bryant should be the guy,but Keyshawn experience is key to Ginn's future so I guess I can live with that.),Adrian Arrington*,Greg Camrillo,C. Williams

TE>-Ben Troupe #or Jermaine Wiggins#,Justin Peele

LT>-Jake Long*(Todd McShay believes he is the next best thing,and it's hard to argue a man of Jake's size(6'7",315 great,great strength excellent pass blocking skills and good rush blocking.People been saying he will play RT,but people tend to forget if he was seen as a RT he would be among the talks for one of the top picks,otherwise people would include Ryan Clady.When Jake played LT this year at Michigan he only let one player through the line,and that was Vernon Gholston.LT is the most pressing need right now on offense,and our offense need WAY more help than our defense.Granted,our defense was ranked at the bottom of every stat except passing TD's allowed,where we were 4th in the league.But our offense has been in the slump ever since Dan Marino retired while our defense has always been good,and it still is....at least compared to our defense.Now you ask,"why offensive line then?It was good last year?.Ummm,no it wasn't.We were in the top 15 in sacks allowed,thats not good.Also,we have no true LT,and Vernon Carey isn't a LT,he is better suited at RT,or even OG.Either way,if I were Parcells,if I couldn't move my pick,I would take Jake in a heartbeat.)

LG>-Alan Faneca#(he is probably the most of a reach here in MIA,but having him here will automatically improve this line to professional status,but if he doesn't work out we WILL have to draft a guard.But,I been readind that we have around like $40-50M in salary cap,IM NOT SAYING LETS BLOW IT ALL AWAY Im just saying the drafts should occupy more than $15M-$20M,so why not get the guy )

C>-Samson Satele,Drew Mormino

RG>-Rex Hadnot

RT>-Vernon Carey,ben Rosenthal

Defense:

RDE>-Quentin Moses

NT>-Frank Okam*(maybe sit him out a couple games,and let Vonnie Holiday play for awhile,Vonnie is big enough to play NT)

LDE>-Matt Roth

ROLB>-Jason Taylor

MLB>-Channing Crowder

MLB>-Shawn Crable*(I think has the tools and talent to start right now,not to mention we don't have another MLB worthy of starting over Shawn,he can also play DE too,6'5",242 and runs a 4.6)

LOLB>-Joey Porter

RCB>-Will Allen

LCB>-Dominque Rodgers Cromartie*(maybe sit him for this years games,so he can learn the feel of the game,while we let,unfortunately,Travis Daniels play,unless we see and land Drayton Flroence or Marcus Trufant.Will Allen is 30 years old,and we are rebuilding,so look for Allen to be gone when his contract runs out,or otherwise,because Dominque will be well groomed to take over at #1 CB,and have Drayton or Marcus at #2.)

FS>-Jason Allen

SS>-Yeremiah Bell

*=means the we draft them

#=means FA pick up

Draft Foresees:

RD1-Jake Long(LT)

RD2- Dominque Rodgers Cromartie(CB)

RD2-Shawn Crable(OLB/DE)

RD3-Frank Okam(NT)

RD4-Adrian Arrington(WR)

RD6-Jamaar Adams(FS)

RD7-Jamie Silva(SS)

theres no way your picking a guy 32nd overall at corner and sitting him the whole year

Thats what happened to his cousin,what makes him any different,look how Antonio came out,and Antonio was a first round pick in 2006.I dont mean dont let him play,but not start,let him learn off vets. like his cousin

We did that with our 17th overall pick for 2 Years! LOL

Edit: Would've been 2 whole years had our secondary not been completely decimated with injury.

I like your offense, I like Faneca but for the Fins to get him is a reach but there are some other OG's in the FA that could do the job such as Mike Wahle, Jake Scott. Plus Jordan Gross is out there at OT if the Fins pick him up it allows the team to draft some one else. But I like it.

For defense, if the Fins play a 3-4 Quentin Mosses does not meet the 3-4 DE and Vonnie does not meet the 3-4 NT. A NT must be able to take on a double team still get a push and allow the LB's to make the tackles. DT is the most pressing need on the Defense and there are no DT in the draft or FA to play the typical NT. So in a 3-4 I put LE Roth, DT ? RE Holliday with Wright rotating in. Crable is not a MLB, so thats a tough spot. Right now before much FA work the Fins look better suit to play 4-3.

LE Roth
DT Holliday
DT Wright
RE Taylor
LOLB Porter
MLB Crowder
ROLB Crable (or FA)
CB Allen
CB Trufant, Samuels Shepard (Cromartie works)
SS Hamlin (Fins have a Shot)
FS Hill, Bell, Allen (if the first two recover from injury or Allen can become smart.

one of the better one I have seen, Quentin Moses is big enough to play that spot, and Matt Roth us underated. Only thing is if we are signing Faneca we have to let Rex Hadnot. He only stays if the price is right IMO.

I agree with you.I know Crable isn't a MLB,but Parcells and Sparano and definately not Joey Porter and Jason Taylor aint gonna let a rookie take their spot.But,I do agree that we should stay at 4-3,because if we do go 3-4,we're going to take even longer to rebuild,we're already at a decnt 4-3,we just didnt have depth,I think with the addition of Shawn Crable,Frank Okam and Dominque Rodgers Cromartie and the two safties I mention will improve us into a playoff defense,now we just need our offense to step up
