I'm with you Chubbs. The linebacker position is so much about instincts and Borland has that in spades, which means that he plays faster on the football field. That's where it counts. If it drops Borland to the 3rd round some team will get an absolute steal.Dont get me wrong i love seeing freaking low numbers for players.. . but truthfully i rather take a baller over a speedster at almost every position even WR. Somethings just cant be taught.
I like this kid.
Chubbs
I took him off my finmock. I think he will be picked up by someone else with more picks in third round.
While instinctive and a nosebleeder (someone who will stick their nose into the crap), He is not bigger than Zach in other places. Zach had a big neck and more power. Boreland is lighter in the pants to me and since he is a bit slower, in the end, not all that impressive in any other facit of the game.
This draft is important for Oline. If he is there in round 4 I take him. dont get me wrong, instincts are primal, and I think he would be better than others on our team, but there are better guys out there.

Sheesh!!!! While I loved Zack as a player...how about we find the next Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis,instead of the next little engine that could.
what rd?Please for the love of god let us get this guy!!!!
what rd?
So going by you three meatheads "No Thanks"...I presume you would rather have the Zack's talent ,than Ray Lewis or a Patrick Willis...Who are you guys? Jeff Ireland?
I'm asking you.."phish""JC""studsatele"...WTF?..drafting like, what you guys suggest is the reason we haven't won in ALONG time...
Damn,some of you...well it's the reason the Dolphins are a laughing stock..good going guys.
Well there's some slight variations.
Thomas was drafted in the fifth round, while the other two were first rounders. Thomas was somebody who came out of nowhere and had about as good of an NFL career as a linebacker could have.
And to be honest, either three of them would be fine with me at linebacker.
"Well it's the reason the dolphins are a laughing stock" lol get the hell out of here. Because having a guy like Zach Thomas over either Ray Lewis or Patrick Willis would change much. All three of them are talents that don't come around very often. We'd be damn fortunate to have a player like Zach on our team right now.
Nope,just constantly drafting sub-par talent instead of Hall-of -Fame Talent.
