    pretty interesting choices.
    Shonne Green ?.. with his grand total of 108 carries...Because he has "potential"? Potential shouldn't get you placement on an All Star Roster. Proven performance should, however.
    His choice of Damien Woody over D'Brickashaw Ferguson and Vernon Carey is another curious choice.
    Another problem I see is there was no place for Aaron Schobel on his roster. Unfortunately the Bills are the only team to run a 4/3 defense

    If I'm not mistaken Shonn Greene exploded in the playoffs. He is certainly more deserving than Marshawn Lynch, who had less than 4 yards per carry this season and Laurence Maroney. Ronnie is too injured, although more than able to take the team. Honestly I tried to make an article with as little bias as possible so I could generate more readers, even if I do post it to a Dolphins' fan forum. Thank you for reading though.

    Good work. However, isn't it much more relevant to the teams success how the teams compare with units? IE, best RBs? best QBs? WRs? etc?

    I think in that way, we see a much different scenario. IMO, goes similar to this:

    Coaching Staff: Patriots

    QB: Patriots, although I like the Fins top to bottom.

    WR: If Welker healthy, Pats. If not, slight edge to Jets, because of Edwards. If the Phins land Brandon Marshall, then they would have a HUGE advantage. They are set 2-5, just lack that #1. Jets have Edwards, the other kid from NCSt and little else.

    RB: If FB is included, slight edge Miami. I agree about Ronnie Brown being injury prone. If Brown, Williams, Polite, and kid from North Texas are all healthy, its good group.

    OL: I think this is clearly the Jets. The Fins have Jake Long, one of the best OL in the league. But from LG C RG, in the past three years we've been a mess. If, and its a huge IF, Grove stays healthy, that helps. Incognito should help. Need a RG...Donald Thomas, probably not the answer, but we'll see. Love Garner, Berger, and the rookie T as depth. Carey...not as good as his contract, but ok. Across the board, IMO, Jets clearly better, and we are clearly #2. (If we traded down and drafted Iupati, we would be very close. Give those three interior guys a year together, and they could be as good as any team in the league.

    DL: This is close. All three teams (sorry Buffalo) have good players, but lack something significant. If we draft a NT, and our two young ends, Langford and Merling are good, but need to take that next step. Merling is interesting. Doesnt play like a first rounder (or first player chosen second round) but Starks does. So we have good depth, but desperately need better production from NT.

    LB: Jets, probably. Love David Harris...But I like Dansby and we havent even seen him with Mike Nolan yet. Calvin Pace is good, but we don't know what we have with Wake under Nolan. (I loved the Nolan hire if you haven't noticed). Crowder...nothing special, but he may not need to be. If we draft a guy who can make some plays at OLB and Dansby is what I think he will be, Crowder just needs to be steady. The Pats have a great player in Mayo, TBC is okay, and really, nothing else. But they do have a jazillion draft picks.

    DBS: So many intangibles....I think any team with Darrell Revis, right now gets the nod. Hes outstanding. They added Cromartie, who is good, but not as good as he thinks he is. Hell,Revis isnt as good as Cromartie thinks Cromartie is. But I loved Vontae Davis last year and Sean Smith might be an outstanding player as well. If we get Will Allen back at nickel, thats potentially a very good group. The Bills do have the best Safety, but nothing else. We either need Clemons to be a stud or draft someone. Either way, like last year, the FS position for us is probably going to be a challenge. Bell is getting old...so we probably need to develop both S positions.

    K: I would not trade our kickers. Like both of them, Carpenter and Fields.

    So this is interesting...the two most important positions, HC and QB, imo its the Pats.
    Everything else is a toss up between the Jets and Phins. They have a slight advantage at coaching staff (Sparano made serious gametime decisions last year, love Nolan. Not totally crazy about Henning but, whatever) and we have a slight advantage at QB (huge ad if you consider Henne, plus backups). The Jets have nothing at backup.

    Depends on here who gets the most impact from the draft. Whomever does, will win the division. Truly an honest three team race.
