I was in class last night, and the professor was boring the mess out of me; so my mind started to wander; thinking about who would be our perfect first round pick. I started to jot down our depth chart and free agent moves made so far this season. Now I will let everyone know, before I put everything down on paper, my thoughts were Chad Greenway, Ernie Simms (if he was there), Santonio Holmes, or Chad Jackson. At the end, I came up with someone different who I wouldn't had considered.
1) The WR position looks like the position that will need one more quality player because an injury to Chambers or Booker would limit our WR corps. So this position will definately need to be considered with our #1 pick if either Santonio Holmes or Chad Jackson are available when we pick.
2) I really think we are ok at the DT position. Our defense is a hybrid 3-4, and although we don't have a prototype NT for the 3-4 yet, I like the prospects of Manny Wright and Kevin Vickerson rotating with Keith Traylor Vonnie Holiday and Jeff Zgonina. Now if Broderick Bunkley is there, I would definately snatch him up. He will be the perfect NT for our D.
Here is what I'm hoping will play out for us:
1) Although this is highly unlikely, but the ideal situation would be to trade down into the late 1rst round and pick up an additional pick/s to give us more versatility with our draft strategy, but I don't think we will be so lucky.
Our Dolphins biggest need is a PASS RUSHING OLB. We need another missile at that position. IMO...Chad Greenway does not fit this mold, he's a differnt type of OLB. This team needs an Ernie Simms, Demeco Ryans, Thomas Howard, Manny Lawson or Kamerion Wimbley. If you think about it this makes absolute sense. You see how persistent we've been with signing Lavar Arrington, and signing him (at the right price) will give us the freedom to look at the WR or DT position in the draft. Our most consistent pass rusher is Jason Taylor, after that; it's a big drop off in consistency. If we can get one more player on the field that can rush consistently, our defense will be top 5 next year. Any of these players I mentioned, I would be very happy with, but the player I'm starting to lean towards is Kamerion Wimbley.
Kamerion Wimbley is the perfect fit for our hybrid 3-4 defense. He is very strong, has good size/speed ratio. He can play DE in the 4-3 and pass rushing OLB in the 3-4. He's the most versatile for our defense out of all the players I mentioned earlier.
Now, of course my opinion may change next week, but this is where I stand today...
