NT, ILB, OLB, TE to be the focus of the first round...


No way we draft a WR...Parcells wont have it...I follow the Gil Brandt school which has shown that few guys step in and are ready to be consistent contributors in their first year...That will be addressed in FA...

Safety if the guy is absolutely the BPA but we have a lot invested in our secondary...

I think there are a couple NT that would be there who the Dolphins woudl love to draft but its early and we havent had medicals and pro days...
 
Parcells wont draft a WR early....so when has he ever drafted a NT early either???
 
rarely bp drafts a wr or nt early especially wr it is so deep this year, i see us going after an ilb first of if one of the top 3 wr's is there we will draft, bp is famous for smoke and mirrors
 
wasnt this said last year about all Skilled Postion players and look how last years draft went plus IMO parcells is going to be gone after this year at least i hope he is he needs to relize this is a Pass first Run second league now
 
my board looks like this
1. Bryant
2. McClain
3. Kindle
4. Williams
5. Spikes
6.Grisham
7. Thomas
8. Tate
9. Benn
10. Huges
 
Can't rule out anything. Ireland & Parcells will probably be arm wrestling best 2 out of 3 on this one.
 
Its all speculation at this point...the team could fall in love with a player at a need position that they know they can pick up on day 2...

I think the WR has to be truly special for BP and JI...and trust me, when it comes to drafting, BP sticks to his formula...I mean his WR has to have run NFL style routes in college...he must have been a 3 year success...he must have the burners, the hands and willingness to go over the middle...

It is extremely rare to find a WR that has played in a system with NFL routes and isnt just a 1 or 2 year flash in the pan...Lets take Devin Thomas of the Redskins...at MSU he ran the NFL style routes but had one year of success...Only til late this year did he actually start contributing...WR's take time to develop...

In this years draft, Hakeem Nicks was the only guy who fit BPs philosophy and he didnt exactly blow it up...
 
We'll be drafting a WR, it may not just be in the first round. Honestly, if a guy like Rolando McClain, or Dan Williams is there for Miami when we pick, you have to go in that direction.
 
Berry
Bryant
McClain

The dark horse: Spiller

If they see Spiller as a player in the mold - or ballpark - of a C. Johnson, then, you have to think long and hard about drafting him (assuming Berry and Bryant are gone). If they see him as a L. Washington, he's not worth a 1st.
 
What makes u so definite we wont? if bryant is there, someone trades up and takes spiller, suh and berry go in top 6 and Denver goes Rolando Mcclain right before us, that leaves bryant BPA at a position of need for us.
 
what makes me so definite is BP...look at the QB position...hes stated...hell only draft, quarterbacks with at least 3 years of starting, who ran pro offenses in college...

i know full well that we ONLY draft a WR in the first round if the guy is off the charts AND has run pro routes in college for more than one year...thats BP's philosophy...thats Irelands philosophy...

Where do you think Miles Austin came from??? The first round??? No...

if spiller is there we could trade down to.for a 2nd this year,and 1st next year.not sure if the draft points equal out on this.spiller could put someone like green bay over the top.
