DOLPHINS: Unger and the draft

[Rick]

> Way too early to tell. We will pick about 23-26 I guess?

Marvin am I wrong in thinking that we can't pick any lower then 23? i always 
thought that the non-playoff teams picked first (1-20) then the order was 
determined by when you are eliminated and your record. So for example, this 
week end the Colts (12-4) Fins (11-5) and Falcons (11-5) will pick behind 
the loser of the last game (Minn and Philly both have a worse record then 
any of the teams that alreay lost). So it should be Phlly/Minn loser at 21 
then either the Falcons or Fins depending on tie breaker and lastly the 
Colts at 24.

> Right now, Mayock rates Unger the 17th overall senior.

I think the deal with Max will come down to what position does the team that 
picks him want him to play. If he is seen as a center/guard he is going to 
slide into the middleof the 2nd round. If they see him at a OT he will be a 
late 1st.


> Another thing effecting Unger will be this draft has about 4 other really 
> good looking centers who are no later than 4th round types if not sooner. 
> Alex Mack, Cal, projected 2nd, Jonathan Luigs, Arkansas, projected 2nd or 
> 3rd, Eric Wood, Louisville, 3rd, and Antoine Caldwell, Alabama, 3rd or 
> 4th.

This is a very good year for centers. Mack has even been projected at a late 
1st rounder by some but I think he will slide cause like you said center 
don't normally go ing the 1st round.
