DOLPHINS: Mel Kiper Jr's Initial Mock Draft FWIW

Sat Jan 24 22:59:40 GMT 2009

Rick, I've been wondering the same thing. The 25th pick won't be  
worth anything until draft day when someone wants to move up to get a  
available player.

More picks in the second and third would be a good thing. Three  
second round picks would go a long way towards plugging some holes.
