The NFL Draft begins Thursday night

Are the Dolphins switching to a 4-3? I'm a little confused with a 3rd DT pick. Would have rather seen an inside LB taken somewhere. We haven't had one since Zach retired.

This last guy will just be competition in camp, and wind up on the practice squad if he's lucky. If that happens, it's the end of the road for Ogbah with us, and a money saving move.

My early dreams of picking up one of the top linebackers with our second pick were crushed on day one when they flew off the board early. It wasn't a loaded draft at the LB position, so by the time we got to our second and third picks they were better used elsewhere. As it turns out, with Hand departing and the crisis with Ramsey, those other positions became much more important. Plus we seem to be locked in for Brooks and Dodson for at least this season.

Best comment I heard about Shedeur today regarding his slide... "That happens when you combine hall of fame drama and practice squad talent."

I think Shedeur is clearly more than "practice squad talent."
The owners decided to teach him a lesson.  (Though I have also heard his interviews were horrible.)

The ironic thing is that this may be the very best thing to happen to Sanders, and the very best outcome for Cleveland.

If he's as talented as his mouth says, he's got an opportunity to do it against competition that shouldn't be that great... but as it stands right now, he is dead last on the QB depth chart with four guys ahead of him, all drafted much higher than him.

That is one massive reality check. He's going to have to work his butt off to win the respect of his teammates and coaches, and earn his spot on an NFL roster, let alone a starter role, and of he does then it's big a win-win scenario. If he doesn't, he's gonna find out the lesson that NFL means Not-Fucking-Long when your talent and output doesn't measure up to anything like your jawing.

With the draft now over and us still thin in the secondary, of the Cornerbacks left over, Zy Alexander looks to be about the best that I can see of them.

Zah Frazier seems an intriguing prospect at 6-3 if he's still there.  Other than that, it's getting really hard to be excited at what's left.

I'm still pissed we didn't pick this guy when we had the chance - the Bears got him later on in the 5th round. 

He would have had the height to cover the tight ends who have been a non-stop source of misery for us for more than a decade. Yes he's raw and lanky, only a starter for one season, but wow, the highlight reel of him was very, very impressive. He may have possibly transitioned into a strong safety or coverage linebacker... it's the sort of risk worth taking in the 5th round when all the best options are long, long gone.

... and just like that, Ogbah is out the door.

I'd be surprised if Wynn hangs around now, as his chance of getting decent pay is also virtually zero.

We've drafted well to hopefully solidify these two positions with long term starters, but like elsewhere our depth is awfully thin.

Ogbah was "out the door" the second the season ended and his contract expired. It was a one-year deal and he was an unrestricted free agent.

Wynn's contract also expired. He hasn't found a new team yet, but he is no longer with the Dolphins.
