Good morning everyone. Drafts are made years from now with these picks and the UDFA's that will be signed immediately after today's selections. Also, "real" fans stay with draft through 7/8pm tonight…or maybe we do not have lives. Whatever it is nonetheless, let's keep the discussion going. The last few days have been awesome.
 
Here are some players I like as we head into today…some will go early and others will be undrafted. I made some notes where I see fit.

QB
* Mettenberger
* Murray
* Shaw

RB
* Seastrunk
* Tallaferro

WR
* Bryant
* Herron
* Hoffman

OT
* Lucas- Foot issue, but looks the part.
* Wesley Johnson- Jack of all trades on the line.

C
* Paradis

DT
* Jones- very productive, but had some injuries. I think he makes it.
* Quarles- excellent player, but got in some trouble recently.
* Carrethers- huge body, could develop into a space eater.
* Barnett

ILB
* Skov- not sure if there are red flags here, but high character, high energy LBer. He will get exposed in the passing game, but he could help the Fins run defense.

OLB
* Bradford- not sure where his position is, but plays so hard.
* Telvin Smith- so slight of build, but he can run and could help in a nickel package and special teams.
* Christian Jones
* Reilly

CB
* Kendal James- my super sleeper. I think he comes in and helps right away.
* Desir
* Aikens
* Chris Davis- high character person

FS
* Bailey
* Vereen
* Ed Reynolds- This kid will stick and be a pro for awhile.
* McGill- I think he fits best as a safety and not a CB
* Bryant

Top targets for me in the fourth.. Dakota Dozier, Dion Bailey, Caraun Reid, Devonta Freeman and Yawin Smallwood.. Should be exciting.
 
Hayden,

Debate as we may about over-reaching with our first round, our offensive line seems poised to be a solid group. Looking ahead to today's draft, I'm not sure if there is a day one LB starter left in this draft. I also don't think we can draft a corner who will be overtake our picks from last year, much less Finegan. We can certainly draft for depth at these positions, but it would be hard to expect them to start this year. I think we look for impact guys that will be absolute gunners on special teams. I also would like to draft another QB in the 5th round for competition and the possibility of trading Moore after pre-season injuries may occur.
 
I'm pulling for Pierre Desir at CB. Small school, but seems very motivated and is a big CB that can defend. Could be a big surprise for a team. Not sure he's a 4th or 5th rounder.

Caraun Reid would be sweet. dont think he will last long at all.
 
DaQuan Jones of Penn State is someone I hope Miami gets. I think he goes early 4th, but we'll see. Also, this could be the round that the Dolphins get a linebacker or that big receiver (Brandon Coleman).
 
I would be looking for guys who were team captains and who were produtive with good character. That is the MO here. forget rankings. throw them out. teams know what other teams want. thats why all the trading.

We are pinpointing our guys.

Agreed.. Plus his game is similar to Odrick and Starks - disruptive, pass rushing DT. We may need someone who can plug effectively.. I liked Khyri Thornton for that, but he got taken earlier than I anticipated.

You could be right with the LB's. Skov's knee is questionable. I said before the draft that Jelani Jenkins must be counted on to take the next step. I think he has a lot of potential to help.

I most def. think that the team can do the following today: 1) find a CB to compete with Will Davis at the very least 2) Find a FS that could back up the Delmas/Jones combo 3) Find athletes to help Darren Rizzi. 4) Find a QB to push out Pat Devlin.
