    HOLLYWOOD - It's no secret the Miami Dolphins need cornerbacks. The father of Connecticut cornerback Darius Butler believes the Dolphins may already have their man.

    "The Dolphins gave him a promise that they'll take him if he's around at [the 25th pick]," said Mitchell Butler III, who added that his son received that promise from Dolphins brass.

    That's very weird. I would LOVE to take Butler, but what if someone higher on their board drops down to 25?
