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.”
armando if mallet makes it to the fins in the 3rd do they pull the trigger?

big mondo - we should have either jamar fletcher or eddie moore do our pick in the third round in front of the cameras. they are beasts

The Texans have our Number!

I like brooks reed, reminds me of clay mathews
Posted by: g | April 29, 2011 at 06:54 PM
No expectation of Miami trading into the second. Can't see where they have the ammo to do it. Definitely don't want to see them trading futures.
I think we're just bystanders for now, fellas.
At least we'll get to see Al Davis possibly do something completely insane soon (if he can be revived from his hyperbaric chamber or coffin or wherever else he naps)

big mondo put the lockout on me down here. i need some help people
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:55 PM
Armando, the lockout is back on now. Did coach sparano give pouncey a copy of the play book today?
Posted by: CaymanDolfan | April 29, 2011 at 06:52 PM
Play book..ppplay book. play book.. Soprano and the Fins are not that intelligent enough to make a book for each player which is why Soprano gave Pouncey a quick lesson on how to fist pump...
Posted by: NY "G" | April 29, 2011 at 06:55 PM
WE GOT PLAYED.....
AND
THE NETWORKS AND ADVERTISER'S GOT PAID.....
Posted by: Kris | April 29, 2011 at 06:55 PM
Guy's a lock-out till November will insure the Fins have less then 8 losses... Just my 2 cents.....
Posted by: Cuban Menace | April 29, 2011 at 06:55 PM
Pouncey is getting kicked out?
At least they didn't cut him yet.
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 06:56 PM
Mando,
You are correct and thank you. Keep up the good work.
Posted by: SullysPhins | April 29, 2011 at 06:56 PM
big mondo you ever notice these networks dont like talking about the dolphins
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:56 PM
no problem - just keep sending me your questions
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:57 PM
Vince Young is more than a big name
VY torched the Dolphins in our own stadium 2 seasons ago with his extremely accurate laser throws, his feet & strength
He threw an amazing pass over Vontae Davis in the end zone that cuz the pass was so darn precise, there was NO DEFENSE FOR THAT PASS.
Home remembers Jeff Fisher coming on the field to the field with a big game winning smile to congratulate his star QB for torching the Dolphins
Sign veteran QB VY
Home has spoken
Posted by: Home Truth | April 29, 2011 at 06:57 PM
Mando....Lions going to select Bowers to go with Suh and Fairley? Wow.

big mondo - do you know what a exciting skill position player looks like
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 06:59 PM
TORREY SMITH!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 07:00 PM
Question:
rick spielman in Minny takes Ponder, Rudolph.
Do you like his draft better than Miami's or you good with Pouncey?
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 07:00 PM
Shame, shame. Minn is balling.
Posted by: oscar canosa | April 29, 2011 at 07:00 PM
Mando,
Do you think TE Williams will be there in the 3rd when we select. If so what do you think about him?
Posted by: SullysPhins | April 29, 2011 at 07:00 PM
lots of qb needy teams passing on mallett. i guess they didn't like the interviews they had with him or everyone just wants a more mobile player in todays league.
Posted by: where are the mallett fans? | April 29, 2011 at 07:00 PM
greatest player in the NFL -- drum roll please --- CHANNING CHROWDER
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:01 PM
Don't want to say "I told you so" with Mallett but maybe now people can see why I was saying those concerns about his intelligence were VALID.
Been seeing and hearing Ryan plenty being a Little Rock resident and the kid just isn't very bright. I wish him well but this doesn't surprise me at all.
Posted by: adam | April 29, 2011 at 07:01 PM
sully, DJ Williams reminds of a poor man's Keith Jackson. Only blocks better.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 07:01 PM
THE NFL....THE NETWORKS....AND THE COURTS PLAYED US......
WAKE UP SHEEPLE......
BOYCOTT THE REST OF THE DRAFT......
CHANGE THE CHANNEL......
I'M OUT.....
Posted by: Kris | April 29, 2011 at 07:01 PM
big mondo - please pay attention to your brains down here
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:02 PM
Little, Titus Young is an exciting skill position player. Love him.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 29, 2011 at 07:02 PM
Spielmen is the douch bag who screwed us for years and gave us nothing.
Posted by: NY "G" | April 29, 2011 at 07:02 PM
Soiled---LOL!!
I'd have to go with the last option. Also, a fear of non-Elvis-sized collars.
Posted by: dr. roberts | April 29, 2011 at 07:03 PM
Soiled, Where have you been???, Word on the street you were doing time in a NC state faculity, Though word too was you were directing the new Summer block-buster Movie "Have a Harrpy day",( A story of insanity from our very own HOME) so where have you been??
Posted by: Cuban Menace | April 29, 2011 at 07:04 PM
Yea your right VY IS A BEAST, he threw for over 2500 yards once and he has won more than 10 games once. oh yea and he was benched 5 times and then cut....AWSOME
Posted by: g | April 29, 2011 at 07:04 PM

Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 07:04 PM
Adam,
You called it. Looks like those that interviewed him learned what you already knew. Locals know best.

Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:05 PM
Gotta head to work, fellas.
Enjoy the draft and let me know if the jar carrying Al Davis' head breaks before they pick.
Posted by: dr. roberts | April 29, 2011 at 07:05 PM
Titus Young is fast but not that fast!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 07:05 PM
big mondo - i have an itch right here - can you scratch it for me
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:06 PM
Hankerson should go to the Broncos. Would be a great fit...
Posted by: crazycane | April 29, 2011 at 07:07 PM
If everybody else realizes Mallet is a bust, then Ireland will get him for sure.
All the Mallet fans will rejoice.
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 07:08 PM
big mondo - do a article on why miami never picks excitement at skill position you crazy motha
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:08 PM
"Not all fans in Minnesota were happy with the Vikings' selection, and some of them reportedly directed catcalls at Rick Spielman as he took the stage at the team's draft party."

one moment folks im busy itching my important head down below - big mondo
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:09 PM
To answer your Question Armando. I like Pouncey and Brandon Marshall WAY more then Ponder and Rudolph. Besides. Lance Kendricks is still left in the Draft. I watched everyone of his games for the last two years. He is a good blocker. I promise that and an outstanding receiver
Posted by: Chase | April 29, 2011 at 07:09 PM
Ireland a Sparano have no clue how to draft an exciting, explosive, dynamic player, they never have.
Posted by: Barrett Wallace | April 29, 2011 at 07:10 PM
Is Branden going to be wearing the Dolphin uniform ever again???
These are things that make you go Hmmm...
Perhaps they will put him into play due to the domestics when and IF the season opens up.
What did Ireland and Marchall discuss????
Posted by: NY "G" | April 29, 2011 at 07:10 PM
The Fins live off there past glory to much! Get new Uniforms ..Put some Teeth on the Dolphin or fangs!
Posted by: BLACKCEROTE | April 29, 2011 at 07:10 PM
thanks for the answer Barrett Wallace - big mondo is taking his frustrations out on me
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 07:11 PM
Did Shannon Sharpe just say "two thousand and eveven N e Bel Draft?"
Posted by: Bogota Phin Fan | April 29, 2011 at 07:12 PM
Looks like the Lions will be in the playoffs real soon! They have been working magic the last few years in the draft.

Posted by: Nicholas | April 29, 2011 at 07:20 PM
Al Davis will probably take Ryan Mallet. And it will be good.
