These first-day draft picks will help their teams right away
Vernon Carey (No. 19)
The Dolphins watched as Philly moved from No. 28 to snare Arkansas T Shawn Andrews at No. 16, so with the top tackles off the board (Oakland took Robert Gallery at No. 2) Miami had to rev up its efforts to land an elite O-lineman. The Dolphins swung a trade with Minnesota to garner the No. 19 pick and selected Vernon Carey, who can play either guard or tackle. John St. Clair is penciled in as the starting right tackle, with Carey behind him, but do not expect Carey to play second fiddle for long. And even if Miami opts to go with St. Clair at tackle, Carey may slide into a starting guard spot this season.

Damn it! I wanted Jake Grove.
