This is a moderated phorum for the CIVILIZED discussion of the Miami Dolphins. In this phorum, there are rules and moderators to make sure you abide by the rules. The moderators for this phorum are JC and Colonel.
Going with a trade with New Orleans suggested by Armando Salguero.
Trade down with New Orleans. We give them the #15 pick and the #79 pick in exchange for the #24 pick, #56 pick, and the #88 pick. And I am going to assume that Miami will cut Brandon Marshall, changing their draft focus a little.
1st (24)- OL Anthony Costanzo, Boston College. Played G at the Senior Bowl and did very well. Can be plugged in at either G, and serve as insurance for Carey down the road.
2nd (56)- RB Daniel Thomas, Kansas State. 6’0, 229.
Yes, everyone with QB needs will be angling for Luck. That's HOW we swoop Barkley. So we get the next Troy Aikman for the next 10 years.
And we're basing our forcast on Luck being rated higher than Barkley by next years draft. I will be watching them both very closely this year. It may be the only football we get.
Yeah, I had overlooked the 18th pick in that Mock Draft. It has us taking Ryan Mallet.
I like him but he's Henne2 and if we don't like Henne1, why get Henne2?
But, hey, if we're going to get a QB anyway, what do you expect a Henne Fan like me to say but "I guess if you're going to get a QB, get him if Gabbert is gone."
Mallett is NOT Henne. Henne was supposed to be a "safe" QB pick. Mallett is anything BUT safe. He's a gamble. We could get a jackpot, or lose our pants, with him. I won't hold it against them if they gamble on him. We haven't done that in a LONG time.

Henne didn't have trouble with his accuracy until he was force to take heat off his balls because our receivers kept letting them careen off their hands.
As for physical "presentation" I am not saying they are the exact same measurements but like both Mallet and Big Ben, they are big guys who rely often on their size to shake off would be sackers.
Mallet and Henne present physically more like a Ben Rothelisberger than a Tom Brady or a Bob Griese or a Joe Montana or a Peyton Manning.

Henne never really had the touch to throw a good lob pass. He, basically, throws bullets. He has trouble controlling how much heat he puts on the ball.
