The Dolphins need a great offseason to start consistently playing with and beating the big boys. Linebacker, wide receiver, safety and nose tackle are the biggest needs.
1. Rolando McClain ILB Ala -- he has Miami Dolphins written all over him. He's big, powerful, versatile and has great intangibles.
2. Mandy Gilyard - WR Cincy -- great run after the catch ability and also returns kicks. Listed as 6-1, but may be just a shade under 6-0. Looks faster than his listed 4.5 time. The Dolphins can't go into 2010 without major changes at wr and Dez Bryant figures to be long gone by the time Miami picks in round 1. Gilyard may go late 1st early 2nd.
3. Danario Alexander - WR Missouri -- Looks like a more aggressive version of Pat Turner, which I think is the one drawback with Turner. Has had some injuries, but pretty smooth for a 6-5 guy. Goes up for the ball nicely.
4. Myron Rolle - S Florida State -- Extremely smart with the talent to be a steal at this point in the draft. Hasn't played since 2006 so making a transition to the NFL may be difficult.
5. traded to KC for Thigpen
6. Jerell Powe NT Ole Miss. -- He's got the size (6-2, 330) and ability. Has a learning disorder which might knock him down a bit. Could go much higher.
6. from KC --- Jameson Kontz TE/HB Kent State -- At 6-3 230 he's a little small, but has great speed.
7. Mickey Shuler TE Penn State -- Another TE prospect. A big undersized at 6-4 247 with listed speed of 4.9.
