MORE COWBELL!!!

One of my thoughts was if we use next year's 2nd now to solve our DT problem, IF (and only IF) Wright has the stuff, we could use our #1 next year for other needs (QB maybe?). And the priced gained would be 1 year of valuable training/experience for that eventual DT.
My biggest beef is we would be using a #2 on a guy who is unproven who didnt even start last year. That alone leaves a lot to be desired and leaves him with a lot of question marks. Even if we draft Wright, I still see us looking at a DT early in the draft next year. Traylor is a 1 year fix, TimBo is pretty much retired, Chester is having problems and MIGHT have one year left in him, Carter would be an ideal 3-4 DE, Holliday is also on a 1-year fix, and Zgonina is like 50 and undersized. We need 2 DTs for next year to groom so even if we take Wright, we should still be looking at another DT.
We might even continue with the Dolphins latest tradition of having guys with the same last name play the DLine (TimBowens and DBowens) if we take Manuel Wright this year and possible Rod Wright next year (assuming he has another great year in college)
