Miami Dolphins targeting 'core positions' in NFL draft

I don't think you can expect Austin or Clay to take significant snaps as single backs.

Clay just hasn't done it, despite a lot of opportunity and expectation that he would. Based on what the Packers have done, injury, and need, you'd expect to have seen it done last year. Nada, though. To be honest I was disappointed.

Austin I don't think effectively can take many snaps as a runningback. He's more of a jet sweep, orbit kind of guy. He has success there in college, but I don't think it translates to the NFL. He's a really good open field guy but he isn't that good at running behind the offensive line, that was more an example of him getting holes he won't see in the NFL very often.

 

I have nothing to back this up, but I dont think were going to use Misi the same way in 2013.

 

You might, actually. I forgot whom, but one of the beat writers indicated you shouldn't pencil Ellerbe in at MLB, which I think puts everything up in the air.

 

Pretty sure that was Ben Volin. Though in his recent depth chart showing how Miami is going to have multiple new starters, he had Ellerbe as the MLB FWIW.

 

Isn't it likely that Miami trades down and then uses their 2nd round pick to trade for Brandon Albert? Essentially they recoup their pick and then take a CB or defensive linemen at a reasonable spot in the late first with two picks still in tow in the second round.

Maybe they trade down from 12 to the Chiefs 2nd round pick. There are a number of possibilities.
