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.”
Im not sure who they go after in the 3rd? What if Leshoure,and Mallett both fall to us

Gotcha, Marc. Don't want issues. You're my daddy.

The Patriots

Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:06 PM
If Mallett is there at the top of the 3rd the Dolphins should go up to get him.
Posted by: DJ | April 29, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Torrey Smith and his 4.41 speed?

Posted by: oscar canosa | April 29, 2011 at 08:08 PM

Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:09 PM

Posted by: bk | April 29, 2011 at 08:09 PM

Posted by: Bogota Phin Fan | April 29, 2011 at 08:10 PM
im staring to get a hard on - settle me down or release me big mondo
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:10 PM
what you all think about hankerson to help stretch the field
Posted by: james | April 29, 2011 at 08:11 PM
This is exactly what I am talking about nothing bold...just sit there and be safe and if an effing kicker falls to us then we will pick HER!!!
Posted by: Greg | April 29, 2011 at 08:11 PM
guys - dolphins dont ever do things that make us excited
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:11 PM
The Lions are doing it.
Hope we don't have to play them again
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 08:12 PM
little mando.. you just made me throw up..
Posted by: Image | April 29, 2011 at 08:12 PM
we dont go out and make things happen- just like team concept-let things happen and then react-not going to get you anywhere fast
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:13 PM
well anyone thinking of all the acorns they are turning over while getting left behind...i am jus saying
Posted by: james | April 29, 2011 at 08:14 PM
I have a damn Miami Dolphins logo tattoed on my arm...does anybody know a good laser Dr to remove it??? Im through...this franchise doesn't deserve any fans....we should boycott the team.....NO JUSTICE NO PEACE..... I SAY
Posted by: Greg | April 29, 2011 at 08:14 PM
Armando, Minny clearly reached but it was not suicidal because they did not trade up for Ponder....no mallett for me thanks...i like taiwan jones though for our third round selection.

Posted by: Greg | April 29, 2011 at 08:16 PM
Can we pick paul Warfield?
Posted by: Mark | April 29, 2011 at 08:16 PM
dolphins will draft mallet at pick 79!
Posted by: bryan in ohio | April 29, 2011 at 08:16 PM
If Redskins doesn't take Mallet, then Bills might at 68 - unless we move up.
Posted by: LAPhinsPhan | April 29, 2011 at 08:16 PM
I would like Taiwan Jones as well.. put me as a plus one on that option
Posted by: Image | April 29, 2011 at 08:16 PM
when we pick again- aint going to be anybody productive
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:17 PM
say something worthwhile big mondo-say anything damnit
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:18 PM
If the Mallett falls to the third round, Miami should trade with Carolina and get him with the first pick in the third round. You could move up fourteen spots and give up your 3rd, 5th and one of our three sevenths, and it's done. Please Ireland. Grow a pair and make the move.
Posted by: Robert | April 29, 2011 at 08:18 PM
The Patriots and Billicheat are genius. They play the draft to perfection. Tading allover the place and gathering more talent with each move. They even set themselves up for next years draft...again...what has happened to our once proud franchise.. we have become the LIONS...oh wait even they get it now!!!
Posted by: Greg | April 29, 2011 at 08:19 PM
pats trading back to around when miami is due to pick jus to take what they been friggin sitting still and hoping for them to fall to the dolphins
Posted by: james | April 29, 2011 at 08:19 PM

For those who say he was not mobile:

Detroit is going to have a tough defense to run against this season
Detroit is having a very good 2011 NFL Draft
have a HAARPy day :(
Posted by: Home | April 29, 2011 at 08:20 PM
NOBODY WANTS MALLET SO WE SHOULD TRADE AWAY PICKS FOR HIM
Armando where do you get these clowns
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 08:20 PM
with the next dolphin pick in the draft - miami selects another player nobody has to gameplan around
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:20 PM
I will be happy if they sign (when LO is over) Vince Youg and De Angelo Hall in free agency and build the rest of the team in the draft
Posted by: Flipper | April 29, 2011 at 08:23 PM
you know what everyone is in the pool swimming round and the dolphins still testing the water with there toe to decide if its jus right
Posted by: james | April 29, 2011 at 08:23 PM
I don't have to look at video of Marino. I watched Marino play every week from 1983 until 1999. I have spoken with Marino. Marino will tell you he was not MOBILE!!!! So stop the madness!! Just tell us why we are soooo safe and boring Armando please tell us the last safe boring team that won anything!!!
Posted by: Greg | April 29, 2011 at 08:23 PM
ireland will draft a guard to play tackle for carey
least his momma ain't no ho
Posted by: Pouncey | April 29, 2011 at 08:23 PM
since the draft is clearly not where Miami is going to upgrade.. dream free agents:
1. DeAndelo Williams
2. Trade for Palmer
3. Mike Sims-Walker
4. Reggie Bush is available
anyone else?

hey big mondo and everyone else- you ever notice when draft is over - networks or commentators mention who had best draft or made great picks - dolhins never make list - think about that one
Posted by: little omondo | April 29, 2011 at 08:25 PM

(Ireland) About acorns?
(Irelands mom) Oh good, you haven't forgot. Now go find those acorns
Posted by: acorn | April 29, 2011 at 08:25 PM

Posted by: james | April 29, 2011 at 08:26 PM
