DA M.I.A IS WHERE I STAY
21:Jerry Hughes,OLB out of Texas Christain(6'3",257)
[Hughes has the makings too be a dominant force,that of Demarcus Ware,former Troy OLB.Ware,whom had a similar build as Jerry,was drafted by Dolphins czar himself,Bill Parcells.This pick,as I see it,can really only go 3 ways.Outside/Inside linebacker, or Safety.
Miami has more than enough D-linemen who are more than talented enough to get the job done,so thats a position we can dismiss.Next come O-linemen,and we seems to have our future set in place,still,some guys repeatedly get injured,so this position cannot not totally be unaccounted for,but I'd rather doubt it.
Henne seems to be the guy,and Miami already has 4 WRs under the age of 25,and Camarillo is about as reliable as it gets.We took Sean and Vontae last year,so I would has theres not a chance for a corner.Now,that leaves NT,RB,TE,OLB, and ILB.
Soliai is good enough for us not to worry about NT for a first round choice,and Ronnie should be back next year(due to what looks like a no CBA bargaining agreement in-place).Now were down to TE,OLB, and ILB.
Fasano could be had cheap,for what we'll get outta him,and Sperry is a very intersting player,not to mention we took Nalbone,whom Sparano seemed to covet,and Haynos is a good blocker.And then there were 2....
At ILB,as you all know,we have Channing Crowder and Akin Adoyele.I like Crowder enough to think that Parcells will keep him throught his remaining years of his contract(3 years,$20M).Akin,on the other hand,is very servicable,and wouldnt phase us too much.At OLB,we have a 32 year old,and a 35 year old.Jason,35,is only signed for one more year.
Said he'd like to come back,but with his age,Cams emergence,and possibly future prospects,I just dont think it'd be a good idea to do so.Porter,the other linebacker,is signed for 2 more years,and very well could be in jeopardy after this season,as with no bargaining agreement,releasing Porter would not hit the Phins,as much as if there were an agreement.
This is probably the cloudest of positions on the team,and with a prospect like Hughes available to us,I'd be hard pressed to think they pass on him.]
53:Morgan Burnett,FS out of Georgia Tech(6'1",210)
[So far in the trifecta drafts,they've taken our most pressing needs into account,and fill them.However,there is a pattern in their drafts,so far anyways.In 2008,instead of taking a QB,or a WR or anything liek that,they went with Philip Merling.Now,was it a need?
Yes,however one coulod argue there could have been better candidates for the pick,hwoever afterwards,Ireland stated,"a very good value" speaking of Merling.Merling was originally thought of as a top 15 pick,but fell too us at 32.I see the same thing with Morgan.
Is it necessarily a need? Yea,but not as much as others.However,Morgan possess good talent,and should translate his game very well from college to the pros.Im expecting Gibril to be let go in the off-season,especially if they admitted their mistake in signing Wilford last year.]
85: Marcus Easley,WR out of Connecticut(6'2",216)
[As it stands right now,most talks now are that hes a 4-5th rounder,however w/ him being 6'2",216 lbs. and reportedly run a 4.40,hes going to going to wtach his stock shoot up quickly,especially come combine,the shrine game,and the skills challenge.]
117:Chris Walker,ILB out of Tennessee(6'3",232)
[Obviously 232 isnt the kind of weight you want in an inside linebacker,however most linebackers arent the weight the organization wants them to be.However,thats whats OTA's and off-season work-outs are for.Sparano can build him up to appropriate size,and groom him into a future starting ILB.
Chris has the motor,and the drive you look for in a linebacker.Hes got sideline to sideline range,and is an excellent pass rusher.One thing I will say is he needs to get stronger.In order to have success in a 3-4,you have to be strong enough to get off blocks.]
165-[from Kansas City) Alric Arnett,WR out of West Virginia(6'2",189)
[Big play threat,who definately has the make ups to eb a deep threat.Runs hard routes,and a fighter.He came from the junior collegic ranks,and is now tearing it up in WV.Hes set to graduate,and has the intentions of pushing himself to be a good WR.

167-[from Wasington) Abe Koroma,NT out of Western Illinois(6'3",317)
[Big dude,who is pretty athletic,and has a ton of upside.He transferred from Penn St. to WIU,for reasons Im uncertain of.He seemed to have a lot of promise at Penn,but something most have happened,for him to transfer,He forewent his senior season to come out,so Im sure the NFL draft advisors told him he had something to offer NFL teams this upcoming draft.]
181:Antony Allen,RB out of Georgia Tech(5'10",231)
[Good back,who should add good depth for a position that is unclear for the long-term.]
197-[from Kansas City) Larry Hart,OLB out of Central Arkansas(6'1",248)
[My sleeper pick,right here.Parcells went with Folsom in the seventh,and I think they go for another sleeper,cause they guy looks to have to talent to get off the ball quick,and seems to accelerate fast and make th play.Check out his flick.

213-David Pender,CB out of Purdue(6'0",176)
[Nate Jones may or may not be re-signed.Whether he is or isnt,I dont see MIA re-signing Jason Allen,so it would be wise to take another player with some skills,to hopefully stick around,and become something.]
