The NFL draft is finally here and this blog is a-live!
So do the Dolphins go with the primetime pick in this primetime draft? Do they trade back as I've been told they are trying to do? Do they pick a quarterback?
"A quarterback makes sense if and only if they think a FRANCHISE quarterback is there," Dan Marino tweeted today. "Otherwise, I am firm believer in taking the Best Player Available."
So whom would the man once hired to lead the Dolphins franchise -- he quit two weeks later -- consider the franchise quarterbacks in this draft?
"With my CBS gig I spend more time watching the QBs on Sunday so it wouldn't be fair for me to say if a guy is or isn't a franchise QB," Marino followed with another tweet.
The national insider types are reporting there will be a run on QBs in the top 12 picks. We'll see about that. Aside from the QBs, here are some names I'm going to ask you to keep in mind:
Alabama RB Mark Ingram if they do not trade back.
VT RB Ryan Williams if they trade back.
Florida C Mike Pouncey if they do not trade back.
Purdue OLB Ryan Kerrigan if they do not trade back.
Kansas State's Daniel Thomas if they do trade back.
I'm rooting for the trade back. OK, meet me in the comments section. Let's go a-live!

What's up fellas?
Happy Draft Day to all.
I want Miami to trade back as most of us want but the ONLY player I'd be satisfied with at 15 is Ryan Mallet!
I know some think Mallet will drop and he could be had later in the 1st or 2nd round but his talent is second to none. He is a young Drew Bledsoe. He is tall, rocket arm, can make all the throws and has wooden legs lol but so what.
I WANT MALLET!!! I WANT MALLET!!!

Posted by: Nicholas | April 28, 2011 at 08:01 PM
Trade down to get a 1,st 2nd round pick and get a center in the 1st round and in the 2nd round a prospect QB

Posted by: Nicholas | April 28, 2011 at 08:03 PM
Aloco, I do not grade myself because that is for upstanding readers such as yourself to decide.
I understand you're not happy with me, but you are here so that makes me feel like I'm not doing terribly.
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 28, 2011 at 08:03 PM
Starting Friday, at 8am, teams can start handing out playbooks! Let's get to work!
Posted by: dishpan | April 28, 2011 at 08:03 PM
Mando: Ok, I get it now on the RB's you mentioned, trading back into the 2nd and getting a #1 pick next year would be sweet.
Posted by: Mitch | April 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM
Would Godeel scream out the name of the first bust selected ALREADY!
Cam Newton!!!!
Posted by: odinseye | April 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM
Mondo ? Aldon Smith for Miami ?
Posted by: Mitch | April 28, 2011 at 08:04 PM
Dishpan..I think you are refering to Prince Amukamara? I don't know much about him. I assumed he would be gone early so I didn't do any homework on him...I like his last name!

4QBs will be gone before MIA drafts.
Posted by: Prince William the Cat | April 28, 2011 at 08:05 PM
Like Marino said, only pick QB if it's a franchise pick, I doubt any are, none were mentioned as #1 picks until one week ago, seems they'd of been mentioned 6 months ago if any good.
Posted by: Mitch | April 28, 2011 at 08:06 PM
hey who thee hell are you man ! (im saying this in my mexican voice)

Posted by: alain82 | April 28, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Congrats to Cam Newton...I wish him the best. Except against us...Good luck to all of the picks...
Posted by: Darryl Dunphy | April 28, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Congrats to Caolina for showing some balls!!!!!
Posted by: Kris | April 28, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Ryan kerrigan
Should be the pick. Paired up with Cameron Wake our pass rush would be unstoppable
Watch video of this guy
Posted by: David | April 28, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Here we go, I still believe Mallet is our pick. The kid has all the tools and you can't misfire here. Dolphins had him in 4 times for a reason. Henne, Mallet and a Veteran FA makes camp interesting.
Posted by: bobbyd12 | April 28, 2011 at 08:07 PM
Are the Phins up yet?
Posted by: Po White Trash | April 28, 2011 at 08:08 PM
16 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR QB CAM NEWTON .
NEXT
Posted by: ALoco | April 28, 2011 at 08:08 PM
I love Cam's talent. Now, can he read defenses and make quick decisions? Teach him. This guy is a winner.

Posted by: little amondo | April 28, 2011 at 08:08 PM
Question is will we see our team pick tonight and if so where?
I hope its at the bottom of the round. Need those extra picks.
Posted by: DolFan Rick | April 28, 2011 at 08:09 PM
It makes my heart feel good to see all the old faithful names on here tonight.
But ...

The Denver Broncos have traded the 2nd pick to the Miami Dolphins for their entire draft.
With the 2nd pick, the Miami Dolphins pick Zach Hurd, OG Connecticut!
