Just giving a heads up for those who get the channel. I don't know if they'll show that part on the website, but you can check it out if you don't get the channel, otherwise I'll fill you in. It's going to be just lots of speculation, like it all is from everybody at this time of year, but at least there should be lots of Phin talk and highlights. I'm a fiend for any national Phin coverage.
Oh s---! I just found out that I have to run out now and I won't be back in time, so Ill DVR it. I'll recap it later if someone else doesn't do it by then. Peace.
Just to help a brother out. Jeff Darlington was on there. They asked what side of the ball will the Dolphins address first pass offense or pass defense? Jeff said he thought they would go with either Hakeem Nicks WR out of North Carolina on offense, or if they went defense it could be Vontae Davis CB Illinois.
I'm starting to think we just might go that way. The writing is on the wall, so to speak, as you implied. LB or CB is how I see it, but seeing how there are a few good pass rushing prospects whom could be had in the later rounds and not as much depth at the CB position, then it does make taking a CB with the first a definite possibility, IMO.
At this point I think the only way we go LB is if there is a good prospect for inside. Outside we're pretty darn good right now with Porter, Roth, Wake with possibly a Moses or Anderson growing into a solid backup. CB is definitely a priority unless any rumors we are hearing are true such as a Champ Bailey or such and even then it would be good to have developing players in the rear-view. WR isn't as pressing as I think people believe with London and Wilford looking set to battle it out for that big physical role. That gives us Camarillo, Bess, Ginn as starters. If Wilford proved his play last year was a fluke we'd be set! I believe London will be a role-player as well.
It looks like we do not have many gaping holes to fill this off season. Last year we made some good journeyman signings and it worked out. Re-signing Carey, Bell and Crowder have made our 1st pick a little more of a mystery. I don't buy the "sky is falling" theory on our Corner position either. These are the names I can see in the 1st: Rey Maualuga (If he makes to 25) Michael Johnson (too much potential and versatility) Vontae Davis (wa wa wa we need a corner we need a corner wa..) Brandon Pettigrew (If he is there I wouldn't rule him out) Heyward-Bey (looks like Flacco may be throwing to Bey if we pass on him) Hakeem Nicks These are not likely but I wouldn't be shocked. Knoshown Moreno (RB what??) Chris Wells This is Ronnie's contract year and may be Ricky's last. They seem to like the one two punch combo at RB.
nfl.com dolphins on the clock http://www.nfl.com/videos?videoId=09000d5d80f369df Interesting video discusses a little bit about 2008 and what positions we've already addressed. This particular guy (Jeff Darlington) seems to think that we'll go WR/CB with #25 and he also talks about Chad Henne a little bit. I don't know what your guys opinion on him are as a writer but it's a nice little video
