The Phins haven't been linked with Doug Gabriel, trust me I know. They could be, but they haven't OFFICIALLY been linked by media or anything. Its just pure speculation. Not like Terrence Edwards. I like ya Jaj, don't get me wrong...you post a lot and always around to discuss things but ya gotta stop passing off your own personal opinions like they are official or even unofficial fact or some kind of intelligence info or somethin. Like this, Doug Gabriel has been your boy for a while now but there's no article linking the Phins with him. And in another thread you're all like "The only QB the dolphins are considering is Dave Ragone TRUST ME" or something like that. If nobody calls you on it, then people who have lives and don't get to read ALL of the dolphins articles and stuff may see that post and take it that you have read all the stuff and have seen the phins officially linked with the dudes.
Aside from that, did Bailey run at the combine? I've been interested in seeing what he does there. If you have a link I'd love it.
And yeah, there are OLB prospects a'plenty for round 2 because the Phins are interviewing tons of DEs and inquiring about their ability to switch to OLB.
Kelley Washington from what I'm reading, got positive reviews at the combine medically but there's still one problem for him. Teams KNOW that he's got fused vertabrae and thats never good. But also, he's expected to have a very important checkup by his surgeon just before the draft in April. If the surgeons remarks are only lukewarm or negative you'll see Washington drop like a stone. And even if they are good, he won't rise much on the boards because it is far easier to take a guy out of consideration in your draft strategy than it is to raise a guy up on your boards that quickly and that late in the game.
I don't know, he could be gone by mid first round. But then again, at this stage before the draft, Chris Chambers was considered third best next only to David Terrell and Koren Robinson. His stock dropped dramatically by draft day. Its tough to gauge anything at this stage and smart to get good looks at all kinds of first round prospects. Luckily the coaches are by now very experienced at dealing with a draft with no first round pick as we've done so twice already in three years. Two of our three drafts we managed to get a guy in round 2 I originally thought was gone by end of round 1. The other draft, we didn't draft til round 3 and I'll admit the McKinney pick kind of surprised me.
