This is interesting. I wonder if we'd be looking to move up to get this guy.

The Miami Dolphins are at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama this week to scout new talent ahead of the NFL Draft. The newly reconfigured Dolphins leadership includes embattled head coach Joe Philbin, second year general manager Dennis Hickey, and newly appointed team executive Mike Tannenbaum. From the opposite sideline I saw all three huddled in the bleachers eyeing talent. But the more intriguing moment came when Philbin decided to venture down to the sidelines to get a better look at Danny Shelton.

As the North team was practicing this morning, I spotted Joe Philbin strolling up and down the sideline. He appeared to be trying to put on a poker face, but his interest clearly appeared to be in Danny Shelton, a defensive tackle out of Washington who was dominating nearly everyone who tried to block him. In fact, he was being held by so many desperate offensive lineman that his name and number had literally been ripped off his jersey.

But Philbin’s attempt at getting a look at him was interrupted by an overeager security guard who didn’t recognize him, and stopped him because he didn’t have orange journalist credentials around his neck; after all, he had wandered into the media credentialed area. Philbin declared “I’m the head coach of the Miami Dolphins” just loudly enough for those of us in the first few rows of the bleachers to hear him, and the embarrassed guard quickly demurred.

The game is won and lost in the trenches. I like this approach.
 
Would not be mad if we drafted this kid.
 
The security guard probably thought he was a fan boi looking for the Whizzenator's autograph.
 
How much better would a stud DT / NT make the LBs that we do have? I know we're weak there but I'm really leaning towards finding a young stud replacement for Starks who requires a double team.
 
" Philbin declared “I’m the head coach of the Miami Dolphins” just loudly enough"

I don't know why but LMAO

At 340+ pounds Shelton better improve his stamina if he comes to Miami. The humidity will kill him.

So correct. Watching the Senior Bowl practice one on one drills, Shelton was clearly gassed towards the end and became block able. Unbelievable player though who will more than likely drafted in the top 10.
