Who should the dolphins pick in the next draft

[Dphins4me]

At the point where Miami will be drafting none of these guys will be available.

[Tenshot13]

D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt  ....or.....  Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois

or if we let Crowder go in the offseaon....

James Laurinaitis, ILB, Ohio State

Also George Selvie is projected to go in the second round...if he drops 10 or so spots to us, i say we take a chance on him...if he is Gholston 2.0, a second rounder would be worth the risk...otherwise I'd like to see some of these guys as second round picks...remember we have two.

Connor Barwin, DE/OLB, Cincinnati 
Kenny Britt, WR, Rutgers
Kam Chancellor, S, Virginia Tech
Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma

Will Allen is a better corner than a lot of people give him credit for.  He can't hang with the NFL elite?  What corner can? 

Well Nnamdi asoughma whatever is getting chewed up by Randy Moss today.  I think the Raiders should draft all dbs this year.

And that has What to do with the Dolphins?

Somebody was saying Laurinaitis tends to make a lot of tackles after the back has busted through the line or gone past him.  Do you agree?

Not really...I think the guy is a stud...sometimes people try and find things wrong with guys when their isn't any...I haven't heard his name much this year, but last year he was the greatest thing since sliced bread.  He has the size and speed to get it done.

If there is any chance that S Taylor Mays from USC is available when Miami selects in the first round, I think he'd be a godsend to the phins' D-backfield. If not, DJ Moore from Vandy would work. Late 2nd round...I like what I see as far as size/speed from CB Domonique Johnson from Jackson State (the former missouri transfer), and think he's going to move up into the second round once people start working him out and getting numbers on him. If we can go into camp next season with any of these three, I'll be smiling.

I really hope Taylor Mays is around come our pick...but we would more likely have to trade up to get him...he looks like a top 10 pick...William Moore, S, Missouri  might drop to us and if he does I say we snatch him up....at 6-2, 220 he is a beast.  This would be my pick...here's a highlight reel of him from last year.

I'd hate to spend a first round pick on a NT, but Terrence Cody, Alabama is an unbelievable beast and Ferguson isn't getting any younger....6-5, 365...his down side is only 1 year's worth of experience against top opposition as he transferred to Alabama before this season.

Come round 3, Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State looks good....6-2, 195lbs...4.4 speed or Darius Butler, CB, Connecticut...he's only 5-10, 187, but so are a lot of good CBs in the league.

Yeah...I think Mays might even go too early for my Niners to grab him. I've watched 5-6 USC games this season, and I swear that he reminds me of a young Ed Reed. How could you NOT want someone like that in your defense?

I've heard lots of good things about William Moore, but only saw one Mizzou game this year, and he didn't stand out in that one, so I'll want to look at a lot more film of the guy.

Terrence Cody is definitely a stud, but I don't really want to spend a first rounder on a NT right now either...and hope Miami feels the same. Maybe BC's BJ Raji slides to the end of round 2?

Coye Francis would be a great late 3rd rounder as well...though he's another one that I think is going to move way up the boards once he starts working out for teams up close.

Oddly enough, I checked out WalterFootball.com's 2009 mock for the first time this morning...it's one of the few that I give much credence to. They DO have Miami selecting 3 straight defensive backs. DJ Moore at #20, Alphonso Smith at #47 and S Kam Chancellor at #59.

Cue the twilight zone music... The two players they mocked for my Niners in the first two rounds are players I mentioned above... S Taylor Mays at #8 and NT BJ Raji at #42. As a diehard 49ers freak, I would have no problem at all with that pair of studs joining Patrick Willis on our defense.

[Tenshot13]

Yea when I was doing my research for the guys I mentioned, Walterfootball was one of the sites I checked among others...I get crazy about this time every year researching all the potential draft picks.

eh, im never too excited about a safety in the first round (i'd prefer a cornerback), but... man ed reed is freaking incredible. he literally single handedly affects the entire passing game. i guess you could say the same for polamalu as well, though i think reed is a little better because he has better range.

anyway, if you can get a guy close to those two in the first round, it would be tough to pass up. although it's very difficult to precisely project successful college players to equal success in the nfl.

They're both great players, no question, but I do like Polamalu's tackling and run support. He also seems to have a lot more energy, which might fit certain defenses better.

Nah, while not Pro bowl Calibur, Crowder does a more then adequate job. Remember...........Zach wasn't taken until the 6th round.    We need Mountain sized D Linemen in the make of Bowens and Gardner. Those guys helped Zach do what he did. If I remember correctly Zack bought his Dline Rolexs when he went to his first Probowl.

It's all true D.  We'd have to get into the whole 3-4 vs 4-3 thing talking about Zach and after the Chiefs game it's apparent Crowder is the best we have at LB.  Porter seems to be just a pass rusher at this point.  We still need a tackling machine other than Y. Bell on this team--preferably at LB.

What we need to do is draft William Moore...having him and Bell (if he re-signs with us) back there would be awesome...Moore is big enough for run support, and the film I've seen on him, he likes contact...having him could help our run defense AND pass defense...look at the Bucs (though not lately...they've been playing kind of shitty)...Tanard Jackson and Jermaine Phillips are key reasons why their defense is so good, yet no one ever gives them credit (especially Jackson...that kid is a beast and was a steal for them)...both like contact and are good in run support...SIDE NOTE:  Phillips is a free agent after this year, and would look good in a phins jersey  ...we already have a decent run defense (10th in the league) and Moore would help our pass defense (25th in the league...ick), so I don't really think LB is the way to go...plus there are guys Coye Francies come the end of the 2nd round/3rd round that could give us a CB not named Goodman...I think all of our LBs are serviceable at the moment...we could always franchise Crowder (or Bell for that matter), and from what I hear, this it the year of the LB so we could get a good one in the second round where we have two picks...IMO having two good safeties is a pretty solid cornerstone for the rest of the secondary and defense in general...I would love for us to solidify our defense in this draft and free agency period...I'm a firm believer that defenses win championships...with a solid defense (who isn't performing too shabby this year), I think our offense is good enough to win games
