Mike Detillier's post-Senior Bowl board

I'd be happy if Jamal Anderson was still available when we picked, but none of the other guys in that range really excite me.
 
hope for joe thomas to fall, otherwise we'll take levi brown
 
Ginn is around our pick, and unless the Browns grab Quinn he should be around too. We have a ton of options, and at #9 it would appear like we wont have to pay em as much :)
 
Do you think we might be moving up? I'm pretty sure Detroit will be looking to move down.

Whether they need him or not, they won't draft Quinn. (I'm expecting the Raiders to take Russell at #1). I don't think the Lions want to invest a #2 in Joe Thomas. They have so many needs.

I'm not sure I agree with what the Dolphins front office is thinking right now (ie I think the whole roster needs re-tooling). But if Cameron and staff can keep the defense where it was last year and fix the offense, the Fins should be looking at this draft to target the "right" guy rather than just the best available.

If they think Joe Thomas is the guy, they can probably move up to get him.

I just wonder if the Fins would be better off waiting to see which WR falls to them. I think they need a new playmaker to compliment Ronnie Brown.

We do need some playmakers I think Higgins would be a possible choice in the later rounds with his world class speed.
 
You could be right. I'm always torn. It seems like teams are usually better off going for depth in the trenches which would favor Joe Thomas or Levi. However, I wonder what a guy like Ted Ginn could do returning kicks and stretching the defense at WR.

I'm not so sure we should move up, especially to grab Joe Thomas, because that would mean moving up to a top 5 pick at least. That would probably require a 1st round draft pick for next year, and probably a 3rd rounder either this year or next year. That's way too much to give up, especially if we are trying to retool our offense. But hey, if we can make the right trade, I have no problem with Joe Thomas.
 
I don't think that it would cost the Fins a future first to move from #9 to #2. I think at most the Fins would give up an early second rounder or a late first.

I think there will be a lot of movement in this draft. I think Randy Mueller wants to show something in this draft. I expect some wheeling and dealing.

You would absolutely have to give up a future first to move up to #2.
 
We don't move up to the second pick in the draft to grab Thomas! He is definitely NOT even the 2nd or 3rd best player in the draft.
 
Truthfully, and I may be the only person here who thinks this, but I'd rather have Buster Davis or Sidney Rice than Ted Ginn Jr.

Davis SHOULD be there in Round 2 and there's an outside chance Rice could fall too.

Then, there's Johnnie Lee Higgins, who should be there in the third.

My point here, there's other options who are at WORST as good as Ginn, thus negating the need to pick him at 9.
 
You could be right about Ginn. I just think that one of the Dolphins biggest needs is speed (along with depth and youth in the trenches).

Sidney Rice would be an amazing get if he fell. The draft is always weird. Teams start drafting for position and then players start to come off the board.

This might be a year that WR falls down. So many teams have been burned recently by high WR picks. This could work out in the Dolphins favor.

Calvin Johnson is Detillier's number one guy, but even he doesn't expect him to go before #3, and maybe even later.
