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!
Can someone list previous picks please?

Interesting that Falcons really want another Wr although they have White, but dolphins always seem to be content with one WR.

I think Julio Jones a great specimen but god I think he's going too high
Posted by: Jimbo | April 28, 2011 at 08:35 PM

That's right Boulder.

Saban must be feeling pretty good about his statute and his players.
Posted by: Prince William the Cat | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM
More weapons for Ryan..
Posted by: DolFan Rick | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM

Posted by: Turd Furguson | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM
Julio has his work cut out for him to make this trade worth it
Posted by: Jimbo | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM
Falcons traded the next 2 drafts for Julio Jones. Terrible.
Posted by: Eric | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM
Wow... Well done Browns. Sorry Mccoy your stuck with noone to throw to.
Posted by: Chase | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM
WOW - that was way too expensive to get Jones
Posted by: NHDolphan | April 28, 2011 at 08:37 PM

Posted by: Kris | April 28, 2011 at 08:38 PM

Posted by: little amondo | April 28, 2011 at 08:38 PM
what the hell did the falcons just do.. they just traded away 7 picks for julio, is he seriously that talented????
Posted by: ariel | April 28, 2011 at 08:38 PM
That is one high price to pay for Julio. Atlanta is like Rex, WIN NOW MODE!
Posted by: 0x80 | April 28, 2011 at 08:38 PM
Wow, Atlanta gave away far too much IMHO
Posted by: bobbyd12 | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM
Listen, TV is also entertainment. Good to see the individual reactions of players when being selected. It is True,
Posted by: oscar canosa | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM
I can't believe the Falcons made that deal.
We shouldn't have hired Clevelands Offensive coordinator. We should have hired their GM.
I hate Holmgren!!!!
PS: Eat your heart out Parcells!
Posted by: odinseye | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM
Gabbert's not on the phone...
Posted by: Eric | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM
I guess the falcons think they were one player away from the superbowl. that's crazy.
Posted by: boulderfinfan | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM
please take that cheap ass rubber band out of your hair hulio
Posted by: little amondo | April 28, 2011 at 08:39 PM

Posted by: jamesc | April 28, 2011 at 08:40 PM

ANDY DALTON COULD BE NEXT TO SF .
Posted by: ALoco | April 28, 2011 at 08:40 PM
Andyrew he deserves the hate he drops the ball to much and for him to be drafted at to me is just too high. But I'll stop hating once he proves me wrong
Posted by: Jimbo | April 28, 2011 at 08:41 PM
Cleveland made out big time

Nick Saban is a terrific College talent evaluator.
Posted by: oscar canosa | April 28, 2011 at 08:42 PM
Armando, when did the NFL get this huge?
Posted by: Bogota Phin Fan | April 28, 2011 at 08:42 PM
Stoked for Carolina. Hope they can get some full stadiums for home games.
Darius as a Bill is not great.
I liked Julio Jones but not for that much!
Posted by: Oregon Dolphin fan | April 28, 2011 at 08:42 PM

Posted by: boulderfinfan | April 28, 2011 at 08:42 PM

Posted by: Eric | April 28, 2011 at 08:42 PM

Posted by: Nicholas | April 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM
aldon smith????? before gabbart????? crazy, some teams really looking for need not best available...
Posted by: ariel | April 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM
I think we should trade up to take gabbert if he falls out of top 10. Redskins will take gabbert though. Maybe even titans right here
Posted by: boulderfinfan | April 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM
Nobody is taking any of the QB's like all the hype suggested, no surprise.
Posted by: 0x80 | April 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM
QB's apparently going to the 2nd Round.
Posted by: oscar canosa | April 28, 2011 at 08:43 PM
Looking good for those in the Mallett camp....
Posted by: Kris | April 28, 2011 at 08:44 PM
If Atlanta offered Cincinnati what they offered Cleveland, it shows what idiots the Bengals braintrust is.
It also shows that club could indeed be too stupid to get anything for Carson Palmer
Posted by: Armando Salguero | April 28, 2011 at 08:44 PM
Do you really think Gabbert goes ahead of Mallet?
Here goes!
Posted by: odinseye | April 28, 2011 at 08:44 PM
Draft starts to move around with the A Smith pick. Harbaugh had Smith as the 2nd best rush LB.
