    The Phins staff are on the prowl for draft picks...

    Dolphins draft info is about halfway down the page under "Chatter". Here are a few tidbits:

    All those possibilities make sense. Good to hear. Wish they were talking to McFadden as well.

    We've talked about the Phins and the smokescreen at #1 with us looking at Matt Ryan. How about the smokescreen on us taking a quarterback at 32? We are much more likely to trade that pick than the first overall. A team that is looking at the prospect of selecting a qb in round 2 may think they'll have to trade up with us to get their guy. Atlanta now has two second round picks and odds are they will take a qb with one of those. Something to keep an eye on.

    Nice idea! Move down a few spots in the second and get another pick. I like it. :yes:

    Good info, thanks for posting it. also in that article it says we haven't spoken with McFadden. Remember, we never spoke a word to Jason Allen, then drafted him at #2, so don't rule our McFadden completely, just don't draft him Jeff!

    No kidding. That's really a great point. There could very well a couple of those QBs on the board still. It's probably alot easier to justify the cost of the #32 pick than it is the #1 pick. I'll bet there'll be more than a few interested in having our 1st #2.

    Wouldnt be surrpised to see us trade back from #32 and grab an extra pick or two and grab the last remining QB of the big 3 on the board.

    Yeah... there will probably be some interest, notably if one of the blue chippers slips that far and there are several teams queing up to take a run at him. No telling what could happen. We (far fetched) could possibly even score a couple of Atlanta's 2nd round picks. I'll keep hoping that someone like Atlanta, or KC, wakes up and decides they "really" want that Nr. 1 pick, and we can begin the process that way, because in the first six-eight picks there is a virtual lock that someone will be there that can help the Team, and adding a second and third, or so, would just make it that much better.

    I could definitely see Wright being brought into camp as an UDFA, he's got the big size big arm combo Parcells usually covets and had some rotten luck having a different offensive system each of his three years starting. Having said that I don't think he's a player and won't make it through the first cuts, but just an observation.

    Yeah would be a fantasy draft wouldn't it? I'm envious of Atlanta's situation for this draft. 4 picks within the first 48. Wow..

    Yea there's no way I would spend any picks on him, being invited to camp tho, he won't be drafted, I could definitely see.

    yah...you know he did end up on a rocky ride in Coral Gables, and was a top h.s. recruit...however I'd be surprised if his confidence wasn't totally shattered.
