I can see him doing a nice job working the middle and picking up key first downs for Miami in the future.

I hope so.

Me too bro.:wink2:

The Chiefs’ third round pick, DE Alex Magee, was an interesting choice because they also drafted DE Tyson Jackson with the third overall pick. Magee, like Jackson, is best suited to play the five-technique defensive end spot, so where does that leave 2008 first-round pick DL Glenn Dorsey? I don’t think Dorsey is a good fit in the Chiefs’ new hybrid 3-4 scheme.

I think you could see Tyson Jackson moved to NT.

I love the Dolphins’ pick of WR Patrick Turner in the third round. Miami needed a big, physical possession-type wideout, and Turner will be a complement to WR Ted Ginn Jr. at the next level. Turner needs a burner across from him to open up the field, but I can see him doing a nice job working the middle and picking up key first downs for Miami in the future.

I really liked this pick. He's a very good route runner, has good quickness and is a red zone target. I think he needs to be more consistent but overall, I liked the pick quite a bit.

Finally, speaking of character concerns, if you really think the Bengals are changing their viewpoint on the value of a prospect’s character, look no further than this draft. Not only are there slight concerns with their first two picks, OT Andre Smith and ILB Rey Maualuga, but their sixth-round pick, RB Bernard Scott, has a track record second to none. Scott was kicked off his high school football team and was also dismissed from Central Arkansas for hitting a coach. I’m not saying this is a bad draft class for the Bengals, just pointing out the lack of stock they still put into character.

I really think there whole class was a boom or bust class. They better hope there players pan out.
