Did the Dolphins ever. With the exception of quarterback Chad Henne, the Dolphins passed on flash. Two straight-ahead runners replace one slippery scatback (Lorenzo Booker). No ballhawks or burners on either side of the ball. They made a run on run-stuffers and run blockers, monsters who man the point of attack rather than slicksters who score points and grab picks. They made the draft an extension of base-building free-agent activity. And they deviated little from their core philosophies, even if it was surprising to see some less prominent programs (Hampton, Utah State, Montana, Toledo) represented.
