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.







i am Miami fan for over 30 year the last 20 years we got lots of moron fans its bin long time since i can see a real football ppl run my beloved fin let them do they work if its not flashy name u guys moron g m thinking u guys better why u guys don't work for nfl team

BTW...Did you guys see Tebow!the chosen one yesturday with the matching shirts does he call his buds and color coordinate. little gay, however, now he can save some Atheist Liberal souls in Colorado.
Posted by: T.Vigorito32 | April 23, 2010 at 07:45 PM
So we gained a DE and LB that will likely be inside vs outside. So what postion of WANT instead of NEED do they take in round 3? RB?
Posted by: DwinkinAle | April 23, 2010 at 07:47 PM
right on....phin4. lot's of folks out here seem to forget, Parcells built ukk!! j-e-t-s! built Pats! built Cowboys...His thing is, leaves "just" b4 teams turn corner. He learned from one of the "BEST" in George Young...
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 07:48 PM
you and I probably close in age? I've been Fin Fan going back to Griese,Morrall,Buoniconti,Warfield days...Them were "good" one's!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 07:51 PM
we got the 40 koa Misi DE/olb
Posted by: tonysfins | April 23, 2010 at 07:52 PM
I think misi will be big and physical. That's important. We need a guy that can play the run.
Posted by: Calphin | April 23, 2010 at 07:58 PM
Do we go receiver at 73 or TE?
Posted by: Calphin | April 23, 2010 at 07:58 PM
cody is gone
Posted by: tonysfins | April 23, 2010 at 07:58 PM
Same here DaveinJax,
One thing is certain, we've seen our share of horrible drafts. Let's hope this isn't another one of them. As I am saying this, Cody just got drafted by the Ravens. They know a thing or two about defense.
Time will tell
Posted by: Mike | April 23, 2010 at 07:59 PM
Rb? Where is the poor man's Ryan Matthews?
Posted by: Calphin | April 23, 2010 at 07:59 PM
dolphins just traded their 3rd pick to the jets for gholston
Posted by: figaro | April 23, 2010 at 08:02 PM
Oh well!! If we meet Ravens in playoffs? We'll have to throw on them!! Don't see "ANYONE" running on that front seven with "Mount" Cody
anchoring that line!!! Damned!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:02 PM
i am thinking LB from FLORIDA 73rd. They don't care about how fast they are based on the 4.75 MISI
Posted by: tonysfins | April 23, 2010 at 08:05 PM
What the $#^%&...does'nt Parcells know my two most "HATED" teams are j-e-t-s, and OSU!!!
What the #$^#^$ is a buckeye anways? Some kind of wheat!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:05 PM
Ginn jr was "class" citizen...who could'nt hold on to the tough one's? And "WORST" was a buckeye!!Gonna have to talk to Parcell about this!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:07 PM
Can Gholston be confirmed? Or this "bad"/late april fool's joke?
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:11 PM
Back to rd 1. Remember in seior bowl how Odrick out played Dan Willims & Mt cody? He was the best inside D Lineman in the game.
Posted by: morphin | April 23, 2010 at 08:12 PM
we need to start packaging, moving to front of coming rounds?
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:13 PM
no...sit were we are. take golden tate or another outside lb in the 3rd
Posted by: finfanmek | April 23, 2010 at 08:15 PM
guess not tate...haha
Posted by: finfanmek | April 23, 2010 at 08:16 PM
So much for ben Tate and golden Tate
Posted by: Calphin | April 23, 2010 at 08:16 PM
Jets next.
Posted by: Calphin | April 23, 2010 at 08:17 PM
Crossing my fingers for Major Wright.
Posted by: MojoMark in Central Florida | April 23, 2010 at 08:19 PM
does anyone else see us trying to start a organized chaos defense (like the wets)? were going young and versitle so players can swith postions:
odrick:
de,dt (nickel), maybe occasional dt and olb
misi:
olb,de,and possibly ilb
cam wake also can play multiple positions, as well as starks and merling
Posted by: finfanmek | April 23, 2010 at 08:20 PM
Fins fan since 1971, lots of ups and many downs. I have not heard of either of these picks, but I hope they can make the diff for this D as we need the help!
Timbo
Posted by: Timbo | April 23, 2010 at 08:21 PM
What number is our next pick?
Posted by: Roman821 | April 23, 2010 at 08:23 PM
i'm thinking major wright too....good point mojomark
Posted by: finfanmek | April 23, 2010 at 08:23 PM
other than the safety from georgia the rest of the ones thats available arent any good imo........
Posted by: miateamsfan | April 23, 2010 at 08:23 PM
Misi was picked above his grade , this is true. I saw a lot of Utes games past 3 yrs and reminded me of Zack T , saying that he will have to be coached up. What I saw was a guy that never took a play off , threw his body around and was fearless. Thad's why he reminded me of Zack.
Posted by: morphin | April 23, 2010 at 08:23 PM
spikes to the pats.......darn it
Posted by: finfanmek | April 23, 2010 at 08:25 PM
73rd I think
Posted by: Ginnhater07 | April 23, 2010 at 08:28 PM
agree with you finfan....bigmouth ryan ain't seen nothing yet!! thinks his def. is controlled chaos? wait til Mike Nolan opens up can of whup $@#% on him this season!! can't for when camera is put on him on side-line!!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:28 PM
Gooo HEAT
Posted by: Big Kat | April 23, 2010 at 08:29 PM
Here's whats left of my wish list:
Major Wright, Jimmy Graham, Ricky Sapp, Cam Thomas and Mardy Gilyard.
9 picks to go.
Posted by: MojoMark in Central Florida | April 23, 2010 at 08:29 PM
can only wait and see what sanchez does when fins throw 5-2-4 at his #@^$....it's gonna be tuck & roll @#%@ tuck & roll!! actually more chuck & run %@#^ chuck & run..
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:31 PM
the draft is a crapshoot the more picks the better keep trading down and get more picks for this year and next year
Posted by: andy | April 23, 2010 at 08:32 PM
ryan my not have come over(afc east)to kiss any ring! but he's gonna be kissing a lot #$^#
"real" soon.......
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:32 PM
Sound's about right to me...MoJO...Let's hope!
That would be heck of a draft!!! Best ever?
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:34 PM
Who can we hope for in our 3 rd pick
Posted by: Dolphan98 | April 23, 2010 at 08:38 PM
how many 3rd rd. picks does miami have?
Posted by: saundo11 | April 23, 2010 at 08:38 PM
Boy, I hate the Jets and dislike the Pats..goona be one tough division. Nothing is better than beating the ego, sloppy, drunk Ryan. Lets hope RR run all over them and Marshall in the air!
Posted by: Timbo | April 23, 2010 at 08:42 PM
Ya. Who's left for us in the 3rd round
Posted by: Dolphan98 | April 23, 2010 at 08:42 PM
Miami has 1 3rd.
Armando said early today the FS could be
robert johnson
morgan burnet
or chad jones
i like major wright
Posted by: andy | April 23, 2010 at 08:44 PM
thanks andy!
Posted by: saundo11 | April 23, 2010 at 08:44 PM
Oh the major os still there?
Let's hope for him
Posted by: Dolphan98 | April 23, 2010 at 08:45 PM
cam thomas dt? Morgan bennett s from GT?
Posted by: tonysfins | April 23, 2010 at 08:48 PM
Timbo...they say to be the "BEST"...you have to "beat" the best. And "personally" I think the AFC EAST is gonna be the "BEST". And I "TRULY" believe if things go right,with few injuries?? Even @ 7-9 we beat the j-e-t-s "TWICE"...split with the pats...And "HELD" our own against "TWO" superbowl teams!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:49 PM
the only other lineman they need is a true nose guard a big strong mofo run stopper
Posted by: andy | April 23, 2010 at 08:49 PM
Got to have a safety out of this and then OL.
Posted by: Timbo | April 23, 2010 at 08:50 PM
2 safeties went in the 1st and 3 in the second none since pick 17 2nd round
I imagine there are more than 5 safetioes in all of college ball that can play in the nfl
Posted by: andy | April 23, 2010 at 08:51 PM
Got draft tracker open...There's "STILL" quality out there...te's still on the board...some good rb are left....even @ this point fs talent...a little thin @ olb, but players out there..F/A undrafted's are gonna be a hoot!!!
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:53 PM
that god for uncapped year!!! =')
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:54 PM
except for LaFell who looks like a "stud", and Williams/Syr(nephew)goes to school there..don't know too much about wr's???
Posted by: DaveInJax | April 23, 2010 at 08:57 PM
We don't need a guard I give up!!
Posted by: Miaballa22785 | April 23, 2010 at 08:58 PM
john jerry OG hope he is abeast.
if the guy is good enough to become a good starter then its a great pick and maybe they find a safety in the fourth
Posted by: andy | April 23, 2010 at 08:59 PM
We went for a guard?
John Jerry , ole mis??
Posted by: tonysfins | April 23, 2010 at 08:59 PM
i was hoping cam thomas!
