Day Two of the draft is about to begin and two questions dominate:
Will the Dolphins trade into the second round?
As to getting into the second round, I have serious doubts the Dolphins will use their limited ammo to get into the round. That is obviously just a prediction, but I have a hard time believing Miami will invest the kind of capital necessary to come from nowhere to the the second.
That would require the Dolphins giving up their 2012 first round pick.
If the idea is for them to use their third round pick to try to move up into the second round, they still would have to yield either their fourth-round selection or perhaps the third rounder plus a high pick next year. Again, that is a prohibitive price.
I'm not saying the Dolphins would never pay such a price but ...
“I think you can always get ammunition," Ireland said yesterday abou tthe prospects of moving up. "I mean, look what Atlanta did. You always have ammunition I think. You can use your picks up until 2014 if you wanted to. We had a couple players on the board that if they fell to a certain spot then we might have jumped up, but we didn’t choose to do that.”
hello big mondo its your pal little amondo , lets get it rolling

Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:08 PM
im waiting for the babe with the genuine imitation gold garbage bag on her head. shes so fine
Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:11 PM
What up, homies?
Pats pick a CB from Virginia I never heard of. Ras-I Dowling.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:11 PM
Agree that we the phins probably won't move up, which pretty much rules out Mallett IMO.
The question then is wich qb, if any in the 3rd round. Stanzi maybe, Kaepernick is a no go for me unless its in the 4th, where I prefer Tyrod Taylor who broke all Michael Vicks records at Virginia Tech. And Vick didn't turn out half bad, did he?

dolphins are on the clock - dolphins select little jr. amondo armondo sr. freshman nut job
Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:15 PM
Do the Phins trade up today?
Posted by: Mark | April 29, 2011 at 06:17 PM
Bill pick Aaron William from Texas who by all accounts underperformed last year with Texas.
Underwhelming pick to me.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:17 PM
Bengals could use a QB
Mallet or Dalton
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:18 PM
It's hot down here and we're claustrophobic.
Can you please get some air down here and put on some boxers ?
Posted by: little amondos basement dwellers | April 29, 2011 at 06:18 PM
Mallet snubbed again.
Coming from Bengals-dorsn't mean much.
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:19 PM
dolphins back on the clock ! big armondo has now been replaced by yours truly - little amondo. big armondo is now my second fiddle
Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:20 PM
Bengals go with Dalton.
I am convinced that opens the door for Bengals trading Carson Palmer.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:20 PM
I believe we have Palmer, dr. roberts!
Posted by: oscar canosa | April 29, 2011 at 06:21 PM
Pats have the top pick and instead of netting more they reach atleast a half round for a CB who has a injury history and played little ? Miami fans would've been jumping off building if that occured.
Posted by: Mitch | April 29, 2011 at 06:21 PM
rock on little amondos basement dwellers !
Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:22 PM
I'd be shocked if this regime trades up. Not saying it won't happen; I would just be very surprised. Thoughts anyone?
Posted by: TW | April 29, 2011 at 06:22 PM
Is Hairball trading up for former michigan alimni?
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:22 PM
Carson Palmer isn't getting traded. Mike Brown is a lunatic.
Posted by: Eric | April 29, 2011 at 06:23 PM
Mando, interesting about Dalton, but would he fit our system?
Posted by: VA FIn Fan | April 29, 2011 at 06:24 PM
armondo is missing in action people
Posted by: little amondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:24 PM
49ers take Kaepernick.
Good pick by them.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:25 PM
Mallett really must have gotten a bad rap.....whew....
Posted by: Kris | April 29, 2011 at 06:26 PM
How you like me now?
Posted by: Jason Taylor | April 29, 2011 at 06:26 PM
I am NOT missing in action. I am here, I am here!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:26 PM
Where is mondo ? We're itchy !
Posted by: little amondos basement dwellers | April 29, 2011 at 06:26 PM
Kap?
The snubbing contnues
Whats up Slim Shady?
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:26 PM
Kaepernick is gonna be a turnover machine!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 06:27 PM
Mallet could still come into play. I wonder if we would trade into the later part of this round for him?
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | April 29, 2011 at 06:28 PM
Warfield
my hero
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:28 PM
Jabal Sheard has a Klingon forehead. Yikes!
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:29 PM
thoughts on POUNCEY......GREAT PICK!!!
1. remember the musical chairs we played last year with Oline-- this was a MAJOR NEED...
2. I wanted the sexy pick too, but there were none, what INGRAM? Ricky/Ronnie couldn't run what makes you think he would...
Posted by: Dr. Lecter | April 29, 2011 at 06:29 PM
Carson Palmer will demand a trade to Seattle. I think we'll be screwed.
Posted by: Eric | April 29, 2011 at 06:29 PM
Armando's ego has crashed Twitter.
Posted by: Jason Taylor | April 29, 2011 at 06:30 PM
who mutterd these famous words:
I was not hung over, I was sick.
Hint:
-Slim Shady-
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:30 PM
Carson Palmer's agent is also Dan Marino's agent.
Food for thought.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:30 PM
Love the Pouncey pick!!!Watch the o-line improve all around with Pouncey!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM
Armando since the focus in on our OL I really want to ask - how are you feeling right now about John Jerry? Is he a long-term answer?
Posted by: Jim in NYC | April 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM
darryl no need to trade
looks like he will still be there
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:31 PM
..It is obvious that charachter concerns have come into play reguarding Mallet...
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | April 29, 2011 at 06:32 PM
Miami'd have to trade 3rd and 4th to get into bottom of round 2. or 3rd and 5th to get into top round 3.
Posted by: little amondos basement dwellers | April 29, 2011 at 06:32 PM
big mondo - tell us something , why is every pick ,according to network clowns a perfect fit. aint it just amazing they never recap the year before when its all just a make everyone fell good sham
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:33 PM
Palmer .lol, to bad Henne would beat him out for the job. Palmer doest want to come here to be a backup
Posted by: g | April 29, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Big mando, have you looked at Palmers stats ? He hasn't been good in years.
Posted by: little amondos basement dwellers | April 29, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Jim, Jerry disappointed in how he picked up new technique and coaching and the playbook. But I believe if they use him, use him, use him, his development will come eventually.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:34 PM
Ryan Williams to the cards...Beanie Wells another OHIO ST. ''BUST''!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 06:35 PM
First of the really good RBs is off the board with Ryan Williams going to Arizona.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 06:35 PM
is this the running back run?
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:35 PM
At least we have a marching band, a pack of howling wolves, and a waterpark on the horizon.

I'm all in for ANDREW LUCK next year....
let's get it started now???
Miami's new slogan:
SUCK for LUCK..........
Posted by: Dr. Lecter | April 29, 2011 at 06:36 PM
Armando...I know you have to field a million questions. But I have to ask...You have a much better idea of what the FO is thinking. What are the odds we take Tawain Jones if he is available round 3? If we pass on him, who would be the choice?
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | April 29, 2011 at 06:36 PM
I cannot believe Miami is just going to sit back and not try to trade up and get some playmakers...is Ireland just sitting on Tony's thumb in the draft room?
Posted by: cowkilla | April 29, 2011 at 06:36 PM
why dont we ever pick exciting skill position plates big brother mondo
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:36 PM
