DOLPHINS: Draft recap

Mon Apr 27 17:33:54 GMT 2009

The draft spoke volumes to me regarding the direction this team wants to
go. Pat White 
was a question mark until I started to think about it.

Clearly, as was stated here yesterday, the Dolphin brain trust isn't done
with the single 
wing option; in fact it looks like they're going to get into it much
deeper. This is far 
from done with if I read the tea leaves correctly. Either that, or they
really think the 
White kid has tools.

The two corners reflect a solution to the secondary issues. Both guys are
big and should 
give us better play against the tall WR with good hands like Randy Moss. As
I wrote 
yesterday, better coverage in the secondary automatically makes your pass
rush better. To 
put it another way, maybe the pass rush wasn't the problem....

I think we go fishing for OL/DL. We're one step closer gentlemen and any
ladies out 
there.. I have a lot of confidence in the braintrust...

Ginn was a top 10 pick, though...  44 overall is still high, and I don't
disagree that it 
was a reach at that point, but that's not as bad as top 10.  I go back and
forth on the 
White pick.  I think it could be fun....I just don't that we can afford fun
right now.  
An interior lineman or a LB would have made more sense---but I guess if
there weren't any 
there we liked.....
