DOLPHINS: See you in the Spring

[Mark L. Diana]

I'm not a draft guru like some of you guys, but, I would be surprised and
disappointed if we moved up for anyone. With all the needs we have, I can't
believe we won't have a solid pick at the 12 spot, and we won't have to give
up anything for it, and the salary will be more reasonable than and top-10
spot.

Can you or anyone post the draft picks we have next year?
