My vote goes to Lorenzo Booker. This guy's potential was never realized on that pathetic offense the Seminoles had during his tenure. I remembered thinking to myself that this guy's a gamebreaker waiting to happen.

Runner-up goes to Joey Porter. Honestly, it's going to make me nostalgic of the Bryan Cox days, a vocal guy who's afraid of nobody. I can't wait to see him talkin' his junk, gettin' inside the head of opposing players.

3rd place goes to Paul Soliai, simply because I think we got a steal at the 4th pick with him. He's in the Daryl Gardener mode minus the schizophrenia. Massive guy that when he's applied, he simply can't be moved.
 
Pretty much the same as every year. Chris Chambers and Ronnie Brown. Add Trent Green and Derek Hagan to the list this year. Green gives us a solid QB for the first time in years and I think Hagan is poised to take over Booker's spot by 2008.
 
Toss up between Ginn and Booker. I saw Lorenzo a lot here in SoCal (Ventura) so I know what this guy can do, and he`s going to be a good one. Ginn is the gamebreaker we`ve all been waiting for. It`s good to see him on the field at full speed.
 
I'd say Hamdan, but even I recgonize that would be day dreaming (sadly). Why Hamdan? Simply put, he's the best QB I've ever seen play in NFL Europe (saw Kitna, Warner, Huard, Fiedler, Furrer, del Homme, Johnson to name a few guys you all would know).

More importantly, I've got my 50 yard tickets (2nd section) for the 'home' game in Wembley so I'll finally be able to see the Dolphins for real and also be able to experience my first NFL game in person (not counting NFL Europe).
 
Joey Porter just so I can see how good are defense really did get much better

I'll second that vote for Booker. In fact, on draft day when I was still upset about bypassing Quinn, there were two players left that I felt could still save our draft: Booker and Beck, and we got both!

My runner up is Reagan Mauia. I know he won't start, but our FB is 34 years old and there's just something about having a 272lb fullback on your roster that I like, especially in the red zone.

Agreed on Mauia. We need a young stud at FB to help open holes in the running game. We definitely needed one in goal line situations last year. The running game was sluggish near the goal one. Add Satele to the list of rookies I want to see excel.
 
On offense I am looking forward to seeing if Trent is the field general we have been lacking since Marino. Although, Fiedler wasn't that bad. Also, looking forward to seeing Carey establish himself as one of the top Tackles in the league.

But most, I am more looking forward to seeing how our front seven gels this year with an injection of some youth (Wright, Evans), a lot more Roth, and Porter...could be DOMINANT!!!
 
I want to see Beck play during the pre-season and see Ginn silence all fans that didn't want him.
 
Everyone is going for the sexy offensive and defensive players, Ginn Booker Porter..

I want to see the ground hogs, Samson Satele and Moronimo we haven't had good and young O line prospects that panned out in a loooong time.

I hope that Satele will be the next Kevin Mawae, we need a center to continue the tradition of great Middle Linebackers and great Centers.
 
Youth:

Ronnie Brown - Think he's finally going to have his breakout season.

Ted Ginn, Jr. - Want to see him show everybody that he was more than worth the ninth overall pick.

Vernon Carey - Hope he becomes our franchise LT...

Derek Hagan - Been hearing nothing but good things. Hopefully he'll replace Booker.

Matt Roth - Hoping he shows that he has the right stuff to eventually replace Taylor as our dominant DE...

Vets:

Joey Porter - I can't wait to see what he brings to our defense.

Trent Green - If he stays healthy, I think he will give us the best performance at QB in a long, long time (Perhaps since Marino's last season with Shula).

Jason Taylor & Zach Thomas - Hope they still have a lot left in the tank...
 
There is a few but Joey Porter should make a serious impact while Booker, Ginn should be pretty exciting to watch. Ronnie Brown should be able to make the step up to the next level as well if our line plays ok.
