2008 Miami Dolphins NFL Draft Thread

[DolFan619]

Now that I've had a chance to think it over, maybe Parcells is looking to jettison both Ronnie and Ricky two years from now assuming both Hilliard and Parmele have developed.  Any thoughts on both those backs?

  That's a risky proposition.

RB is the position that needs the least addressing at this point.  I would have liked to pick up a wideout.  A big one if at all possible.  

I don't see what the point is in planning on getting rid of Ronnie.  He's only a few years older but thats like drafting next year to replace the draft of this year, even if they were productive.

Hmm I see a theme with our newly drafted backs...all big boys...

I see us looking to try to sign a couple undrafted free agents..to be Wr's...

The Dolphins have two picks in the seventh round.  If Arrington lasts to the seventh round, do you grab him then?

  Why not?  We don't need another RB, that's for certain.

If I had to guess, I think they're just filling the roster with "best available" types.  I think that at this point in the draft, you're kinda throwing darts, anyway.

Hell to the yes!  That guy has talent and if developed could be a really clutch reciever.  We need WR's!

I don't think either RB signing reflects on Ronnie at all, because a healthy Ronnie Brown is head and shoulders above either one of these guys...not even close.  But if I were Ricky, I might be sweating it a little.

Maybe because Parcells likes guys who are mentally and physically tough as well as properly conditioned.  Ronnie has proven to be a talented back, but he has also proven that he can't stay healthy over a full season.

Yahoo only show us with the compenstory pick in the 7th (245)...We traded up to get Murphy.....

Also yahoo listed Hillard as a FB....

[Dave Gray]

I must say I'm pretty puzzled by the picks today.  Drafting duplicates, and ignoring the holes at receiver...  Two running backs?  Weird.  Especially after trading Booker.

maybe their isn't any good WR's left in the draft.

Saints just snatched up Arrington.

Well darn 

Will they take a WR and if so who?

Nope.  They just made their last pick.  Lionel Dotson, a DT from University of Arizona.  They grabbed an interior D-Lineman.

Not a single LB, WR, or DB drafted today by the Dolphins.  And I must note, this is the second draft in a row where they have not drafted a DB. 

Baffling...... very baffling.

  Here's the lowdown on Lionel Dotson.

  I'm still a bit baffled with the Lex Hilliard pick.  I can understand drafting Jalen Parmele to offset the loss of Lorenzo Booker, but the Lex Hilliard pick could've been used to draft Adrian Arrington.
