King throwing the Phins some love...

Peter King actually mentions the Dolphin's draft 3 times in his MMQB article today... and they are all positive.

Is it just me or does he seem to be attempting a little Tuna brown-nosing here?

Miami. Love Pat White; great pick to run the option. (And stop the silliness, Dolphins, about White having a good shot to beat out Chad Henne as the successor to Chad Pennington. I'm not buying it for a second.) One of the most intriguing prospects of this, or any, draft came in Round 4: 6-4 corner Sean Smith from Utah ... One guy I'd watch closely in camp is Brian Hartline, the Round 4 receiver, because he played special-teams for three years at Ohio State, played slot receiver and split receiver. He's a fascinating prospect.

In his "10 things I think I think" section, this was one of the quick-hits:

p. I don't like Brian Hartline to the Dolphins in the fourth round. I love it.

This was an interesting tidbit also:

7. I think the Dolphins could be stealing a big exec from the Red Sox any day now -- Sox chief operating officer Mike Dee -- to be their CEO. Bill Parcells, the not-so-closeted Red Sox-a-holic, and Dee will get along just fine if the subject around the water cooler is Papelbon instead of Chad Pennington. I inquired about Dee to the Dolphins over the weekend. I thought the "no comment'' was telling. I hear if he goes, Dee will have nothing to do with the football side, but everything to do with ratcheting up the interest in the Dolphins on the business side.

He also gives a brief opinion on each teams draft, his normal props to Belichick's brillaince, and all but calls Spielman an idiot at one point. It is an entertaining read if nothing else.
