It's a long story, so I copied an excerpt for you and added the link below.

2) CB Sean Smith
So if I'm so high on Davis, why is Sean Smith higher on my list? I truly believe that the police should be called on the Dolphins - they simply fleeced the entire NFL by taking Smith with the 61st overall pick. Many of you know that Smith was my #1 "mancrush" in this draft. It's simply not every day that you find a 6'3 1/2" corner who can run a 4.47 40 yard dash and have the athleticism to blanket receivers on the outside. And if you need tape to see how good Smith is, I suggest finding video of the 2008 Sugar Bowl between Utah and Alabama. Smith was the defensive star for Utah, registering 6 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, and perhaps the game's biggest pass deflection - leading Utah to the upset win over the Crimson Tide. I think Smith has the highest ceiling of any corner in the '08 draft and cannot wait to see him wearing the aqua and orange on Sundays.
1) DE/OLB Jason Taylor
Was there ever any doubt? Sure - we aren't getting the vintage Jason Taylor we are accustomed to seeing wearingthe #99 jersey. But when the Dolphins signed Taylor last week, you couldn't help but feel thrilled that one of South Florida's most beloved athletes was returning home. Taylor's decision to come back to Miami grows his legacy here - but also really highlights the kind of transformation we've seen in Miami from 2007 to now. I don't care if Taylor only plays 20 snaps each game. He's going to go out and give it his all whenever he's on the field - and I get the feeling we are in store for at least one more truly unforgettable, classic JT moment at some point in 2009. How can you not be excited for that?

What do you think? How would you rank your top 10? Who are you most excited for?

For me, I'd say I'm most pumped for Jake Grove. A big, physical center can change how the entire offensive line plays. I'd follow that closely with Pat White...only cus i'm a WVU fan!!!
 
Heh...I'm going to make no new freinds.

I can say Clemmons.......And....Clemmons...lol

The rest of them, I expect to come in and play at starter level, for the most part.
 
Overall Im most excited to see Jake Grove as our center. I wanted him when he came out of VT 5 years ago, BUT...seeing JT in a Fins uni again is going to be preaty sweet.
 
gotta be grove.
I am anxious to see how Wake plays, and what we should expect from out new db's.
In the past few years we have seen rookie corners come in and play well so i wanna see how it goes
 
Im interested in seeing Wake fail the expectations of some of the fans and see the fans hate him like (Beck, Wilford) and it will be me defending Wake, saying that the fans expected too much from him.

lol....sad but true.

If Wake can pick up 3 to 5 sacks as a situational pass rusher, I'd be thrilled.
 
i think the hype on sean smith is as absurb as the hype surrounding pat white, but people don't realize it.

i know sean smith has size, speed, agility, etc.
But he has almost NO experience at CB, and people seem to expect big things out of a rookie CB in his first year...

I think vontae davis will do fine, why ? because he played the position for a long time, he's physically gifted like the rest of the nfl CBs (and in better shape than some in some cases)

Sean smith is a player, IMO, who will blossom late in the season or we'll have to wait in 2010 to see nice things from him. That's my point of view, i think he's got a lot of upside like everyone, but to expect big things from him in 2009 is farfetched

Agree. I'm telling you now; Barr injury we see Green and Allen as starting CBs. Wilson and Bell at S. Smith and Davis will be brought along slowly. People expecting these guys to step right in is absurd.

i think smith will see the field early and often, but yeah green/allen is my starting tandem as of right now

todd bowles must be licking his chops ...

renaldo hill -> gibril wilson
andre goodman -> sean smith AND vontae davis and eric green
 
as far as i am concerned if wake is half the freak he was in the cfl he will be a great addition and fun to watch. but i am really excited to see gibril wilson knocking someones head off.

But like i said, when he doesnt give you those 10+ sacks, you and some of the other guys who see Wake as this dominant player, will be the first to hate the guy the next year, and it will be ME yes, ME, thats defending him against all the guys who said he was gonna be something we never seen before.
 
I think they reached for Hartline and I think they took a Wilford in the third but I do believe Brian Hartline is going to surprise a lot of people. He seems to be somewhat of an image of Camarillo, only bigger,stronger,faster.
