I don't know if it's old, but there was a sweet feature on Michael Lehan on FSN about half an hour ago. It was a segment called "it's all good" highlighting athletes with hardship stories. Apparently Lehan was separated from his family at a young age and was taken in by another family. He worked with what he was given and against all odds made it to the NFL. Now he appears to be mentoring kids who are in situations similar to his. Great story.

whoa dj. #1? hes better off suited as a nickel or dime.

would love to go into next year with trufant/allen/lehan/goodman/1st day pick pick

He has had his moments this year and will at least add quality depth for next year, if he dosn't start.

I like Lehan as our 3rd CB behind Allen and either Trufant or Asomugha (preferably Asomugha). I think I heard about his story as well and it's pretty good to hear he's in the NFL today. Goodman should be our 5th CB, behind Daniels even.

i hope we nab a corner back in or before round 3 to be allens replacement. then add a top notch FA and we are in great shape.

The thought of signing one of the upper echelon free agent corners scares me. Trufant and Ashomugha are going to require similar contracts to Nate Claments. Between signing the #1 draft pick and signing a top cornerback, im not sure how much cap space we would have left to fill up other holes. I say draft best cornerback available with the #32 pick.

we need to get a true #1 somehow. A dream scenario for me is trading down and getting mike jenkins from s. fla and a LB in the 1st round

-
Mike Jenkins is the best CB in the draft
-
i hope the pats dont get him. -

A couple of things to consider:
1. The pass rush has been anemic throughout the entire season.
2. Most of our DBs are young and lacking experience.
If we can get some guys back from injury (like Bell) and can improve on our pass rush we may not need to break the bank on an overpriced FA DB. -

Back to the topic:
I saw the Lehan piece a couple of times over the weekend. It talks about his rough childhood, how he wound up in a foster home, and is now using his status as an NFL player to go back and provide a positive example for other foster kids. It really makes you want to see him stick and succeed with the Dolphins.
