Live blog of rounds 2 and 3 starts here!

Last night was fun. Let's do it again!

The live blog starts in the comments section. We'll go through the Dolphins pick.

Please understand that I am not going to sit here throughout the evening. There are interviews to be done, phone calls to be made, and I have a column to write. So the smart-alecks that ripped me for not being around all night last night, I hope you now understand why.

The names to look for in the second round, in my opinion?

Koa Misi, the outside linebacker from Utah. Robert Johnson, the safety from Utah. Ricky Sapp, outside backer from Clemson, Reshad Jones out of Georgia and Morgan Burnett of of G-Tech.

Darkhorses? Toby Gerhart of Stanford. I keep hearing the Dolphins want a RB out of this draft although the round remains uncertain.

[Zach]

Mando,

What about Linvall Joseph?

[FinFanEd]

Let's do this Dolphins!!!!!!1

Orl, thks

Gotta love this kid Oddrick answers to Q&A!!

On his ability pressuring the quarterback and defending the run) – "[If] You want to do both. I want to get after the quarterback every play that it's a pass. Sacks don't come every play, they come every so often. It makes you hungry to go get one, and that's why it's such an exciting play. Defending the run, that's just being a man. That's just hunkering down and getting dirty."

(On if he expects to start in the 2010 season) – "I don't expect anything. The only thing I expect is for me to go down there and work my behind off to get better. That is what I want to do. I want to be a better player than when I left Penn St. and I think I will do that."

(On what he thinks will make him a successful player in the NFL) – "I'm the kind of guy who's going to be professional, who's going to come to work every day, who knows what he wants from the league and knows what he wants to get to the league. Not just the league, but the Miami Dolphins. Coming to work every day and being a competitor. I think I'm a natural competitor, and that's what I do, compete."

Go Phins

Nice post thanks!

[carlito from golfito]

Carlito signing in.... Beer me!

[orangemaniac]

This Bud is for you

[Po White Trash]

I drank it all last night Carito.

[Zach]

Mando,

If not today, do you see the Dolphins going after a return man in this draft like a jacoby ford?

[Armando Salguero]

Linval is a good player. But another DLineman this early?

[The Seer]

Koa Misi is an awfully cool name.

[rickgezzy]

i hope we pass on kindle, he's undersized on top of having weak knees

[Armando Salguero]

FinFanEd, I vote for you over Fireman Ed.

[carlito from golfito]

Armando,

What are your thoughts on Brandon Lang and Cameron Sheffield of Troy? Are they going around the 3rd or 4th? Do you know if the Fins have any interest?

[Zach]

Do you think Sergio Kindle will still be on the board when we pick?

[The Seer]

What are the odds he was conceived in a
"Kampground of America," and his parents were sentimental??

[Po White Trash]

We pick D line in the 2nd Phillip Merling is out the door.

[bobbyd12]

Brian Price if there

[Watson95]

Thanks for the great info from everyone commenting on this blog. I live in Australia and have a hard time finding deeper info than the 15 seconds a week on espn during the season. So thanks again and good luck to the fins. The trifecta have proven in the past that they know what they are doing, and if it's true they are indeed adding wrinkles to thier def scheme then odrick should be a great player for us for many years to come!!

[Armando Salguero]

Zach, I've been mentioning Dexter McCluster. Otherwise late, late.

[Zach]

are they going to announce the names of the players chosen tonight?

[Martin]

I did NFL Net. last night...going ESPN?

Go Phins!

[rickgezzy]

the idea of moving merling to the olb spot is interesting...

[odinseye]

odin,

why a QB? we have MR Henne

Posted by: harricane | April 23, 2010 at 06:02 PM

I was speaking in reference to packaging Penny in a trade.
Plus I believe in Holmgren's theory about drafting a late round QB every year.
You never know when you'll find a gem.

[carlito from golfito]

Armando,

Could we get a 3rd for Merling?

[bobbyd12]

The idea of moving Merling to another team is better

[Curtis]

I go to UCF and met Torell Troup last weekend. Nice guy and from watching him play he is a beast nose tackle. Do the Dolphins have any interest? He could be a great option in round 3 or 4.

[Zach]

wow, Mel Kiper just made a McCoy-Plummer comparison

[rickgezzy]

Mount Cody anyone??

[ray]

I think we have to take an Olb in the second round. We need two of the. There is still a hope that we can get a FS in free agency. If we dont get an OLB I am going to be sooo dissapointed. But if they dont its going to be very interesting how we fill the OLB position

[odinseye]

Merling can't/won't be moved to OLB.

He could be moved to another team.

[Martin]

What is the friggen love affair with Kindle? OMG!
Some of you act like he is the second comig of Ray Lewis or Lawrence Taylor?

Go Phins!

[bobbyd12]

McCoy will be better then Clausen

[Armando Salguero]

I expect Merling will stay with Dolphins. We'll see.

[Cam Cameron]

Armando, did we trade a 5th rounder for Detroit OLB Cliff Avril?

[Po White Trash]

Be SHOCKED if we got Cody.

[DyingBreed]

Armando do you think the fins could throw a 2nd rd curve ball like Jimmy Graham here?

[JStew]

If we go offense at all in 2nd or 3rd it's gotta be tight end. Otherwise fill the holes on D

[Bosfinfan]

Mando,

Any truth to Cliff Avril for a 5th?

[carlito from golfito]

Armando,

What are your thoughts on Brandon Lang and Cameron Sheffield of Troy? Are they going around the 3rd or 4th? Do you know if the Fins have any interest?

[nyfinfan]

McCluster is said to be a monster and has a motor that doesn't stop like JPP. What do you think about WR Tate from ND? is he worth the reach Mando? he reminds me of Steve Smith.

[Zach]

I dont think jimmy graham has good value in the second round

[Armando Salguero]

No trade for Avril yet.

[odinseye]

Saffold?

Wasn't expecting that.

[DyingBreed]

Armando do you think the fins could throw a 2nd rd curve ball like Jimmy Graham here?

Posted by: DyingBreed | April 23, 2010 at 06:09 PM

?

[Armando Salguero]

I like Jimmy Graham but not in the second round, either. He's a project. third rounder at best, IMO.

[kyphinphan]

We either trade the pick and grab a NT later in Round 2 or if we don't trade we get the lb from TCU

[Armando Salguero]

The Troy Twins are sexy sounding picks -- but not in the second round!

[Godolphins]

Rumor: Miami trade their 5th roun pick for Cliff Avril.

UniversalDraft :Rumour that Miami have traded a 5th rounder to Detroit for OLB Cliff Avril.
Twitter

[rickgezzy]

it doesn't hurt that he's from the [[__]] either huh mando??

[twyger]

I'm hearing a rumor the Dolphins traded a 5th rounder for Cliff Avril of the Lions... hearing anything on that Armando?

[Curtis]

hey Mando

I go to UCF and met Torell Troup last weekend. Nice guy and from watching him play he is a beast nose tackle. Do the Dolphins have any interest? He could be a great option in round 3 or 4.

[Armando Salguero]

The []_[] Rocks!

[DyingBreed]

Armando, Do you feel if selected 2nd rd Graham would have an immediate impact stretching the field as Martin did and have instant impact in the red zone?

?

[odinseye]

I hope Minn. takes chris cook

[nyfinfan]

Is there something wrong with Kindle? The rumors are he is an injury waiting to happen. Have the fins mentioned anything one way or another?

[jared]

Armando,
Is today actually going to be a live blog? Or us talking to each other? Just wondering.

[Armando Salguero]

Breaking news on the []_[]: Randy Shannon has gotten three different contract offers but no deal yet. Situation at a stalemate.

[Martin]

The USC!!!! Rocks!

Go Phins!

[rickgezzy]

Cook is a solid DB

[Armando Salguero]

Chris Cook to Minny takes off the board a guy the Dolphins like as a SAFETY.

[odinseye]

Yes, I got one right. FINALLY!
