There are two things this regime has made clear. They like things that are familiar, and bigger is indeed better. Can you believe the Dolphins added six linemen in this draft who average 6-foot-5, 295 pounds, all run under a 5.2, and all have great core strength.
One interesting slip Ireland let through was that Justin Smiley will likely be the starting LEFT guard next season, possibly easing Long's transition to the NFL.
It's smart to put the veterans next to the rookie starters. Smiley will hold Long's hand next season, and right tackle Vernon Carey will likely hold Murphy, Thomas or Drew Mormino's hand as they battle it out for the starting right guard spot.
