The Dolphins Make Me Cry.com - Forums

     Alright peeps, who ya got at 16?

  With the 16th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select CB Jimmy Williams, Virginia Tech.

I'm going with S Michael Huff of Texas

The Dolphins trade down with the Colts, and also pick up a second round pick.

Hey!!!  No trades allowed!!!  Oh.... wait..... this isn't the TDMMC Mock draft.   ;D ;D ;D

A stud of a defensive back.

Antonio Cromartie, if saban was smart.

Holy shit!!!  A Gators fan endorsing a SEMINOLE??? 

Damn Satan, it's getting pretty cold down there eh?

About Cromartie.... he had a breakout season in 2004, but never really established himself as an elite corner (although I'm sure he would've if he had not gotten injured in 2005 or opted to stay in 2006). 

Although he's obviously got the tools to play in the NFL, anyone can have a few good workout sessions.  He's gonna need some time to develop.  Don't expect much from him this season. 

I just sent in my Draft Report...I expect Dave will post it first thing this morning. I tried to break down a lot of the top prospects for Miami's 1st, 3rd and 4th rd picks. I am half asleep at this point though, so I might have written a 9 page armadillo chili recipe...it's hard to say.

I am "hoping" to see Winston Justice slide...I think it is a possibility. If I were dropping a dollar on a guess who Nick will actually take, I'd drop my dollar on CB Tye Hill. I think Nick rates him higher than Jimmy Wiliams at this point.

Huff goes top-10 with a bullet...

I tottally agree,the more I think about it the more I like it....

I'd actually wouldn't mind doing 2 smaller trade downs (not out of the first round)
IE from 16 to 18-21 range,then another one into the 22-29 range.

Hill is 5'9" and 186 lbs.  Williams is 6'2" and 213 lbs and is almost as fast.  Saban likes bigger DB's, which is why I predicted Huff.  If Huff is gone and Williams and Hill are still there, Saban takes Williams.

Since no one else has I'll go with a QB ... either Cutler or Young. I don't really think this will happen and don't necessarily want it to happen but this way I get to claim that I predicted it!! I would run around naked if we get Justice or Huff, but only time will tell. There certainly are no guarantees especially when the Texans pre-sign Mario Williams ... WTF were they thinking?!

Later,

Huff gone at #7 to Oakland...

I think Saban likes "better" DB's, which is why I went with Hill. I think the difference in speed, both straight line and reactionary, takes it out of the "almost" area between them. I think Jimmy Williams will be a solid corner...I think Hill will be a couple of notches better.

We're on the clock!

jason allen.... this draft is mess up.

^^^

I like this pick. Saban knows what he's doing, and as Berman pointed out....Saban knows this player.

So we grabbed an injurred cornerback/safety with bad footwork?

Not sure I like this choice.

Saban liked what he saw at the combine.

WHO THE FUCK....




....is jason allen¿?¿?

fuck these costa rican keyboards....i flew back to the hotel on lunch break to check out our pick, and caught it live....but what the hell....  maybe cromartie will slide, seeing as a lotta the big names have slid, and maybe we can get him in the 2nd, or even lendale!!

^^^

Possibly.

any thoughts on Maurice Stovall in the 3rd, maybe even 4th round?

Hmmm...I kind heard this guy's name in the early second round....I kept saying..ok we're taking alongtime...we're trading down....

Ohhh well...It's gonna be fun for annoucers calling the Dolphins game...Allen with the coverage...Will or Jason? The Allens with the bracket coverage ...Wil playing Man,and Jason over the top....

Being an SEC fan, I've seen Allen play plenty of games ... he definitely has a motor and is supposed to be intelligent and of good character. I would have rather seen us trade down and pick up someone like him, but they don't pay us the big bucks so our opinions don't count. Unfortunately, our draft is over until much later ... wish we could of traded Ricky for a pick before he got busted ... SOB!

I hope Allen's hip won't be an issue... If it isn't, I trust Saban knows how to judge talent a fair piece better than I can, but I didn't have Allen on my radar for #16 at all.


He could slide to the 4th round...it looks like WR is being devalued a bit in this draft. If he does, he wouldn't be a bad pick at all. I don't project him as high as Avant or Haggan, but he's a big target at 6'4", and those have good upside in a league where DB's are getting bigger every year. I worry about his head...concentration lapses, dropsies, disappearing in plays where he isn't the primary target. He could mature and become a good one, but I think there could be better options for Saban in the 3rd-4th rounds.

Allen was a solid pick.  He is right up there with Huff in talent.

The injury dropped him back to us or he would have already been gone.

Obviously you are not an SEC fan.

As of now, we don't have a 2nd.  Culpepper, remember?

I'll be honest, I'm a bit baffled by this pick.  If Saban wanted a DB, Williams and Cromartie were still there, as was OT Winston Justice (who tumbled all the way to the 33rd pick).  The fact that he was in the SEC says a lot about Saban's mentality.  Knowing who you were up against in college can either be a blessing or a curse. 

Every time they flash on the screen that this is Miami's first defensive 1st round pick since Jamar Fletcher, it makes me sick.  I keep having to tell myself that I trust Saban's decisions.  I hope he hasn't let me down.

Derek Hagan.... DEREK HAGAN????  The star WR from Arizona State slipped ALL THE WAY TO THE THIRD ROUND, where the Dolphins quickly snatched him up!!!

VALUE...Nick knows how to find the most of it.  Nice pick

     Wow....  What a wacky draft it has been, the Buffalo Bills are clearly on crack.  I must say that I was a bit baffled when Miami selected DB Jason Allen out of Tennessee, but the more I read on him, the more I heard Coach Saban talk about him the more comfortable I felt about it.  Plus, the secondary was something that killed us last year.  Might as well keep bolstering it up, until it gets right.

  Derek Hagan in the third round, what amazing value that is!  This guy was the cream of the crop if the receiver class, until the Senior Bowl.  However, Senior Bowl's, Combines, and private workouts, only tell you so much about a guy.  This was a great pick, and a lot of teams will be kicking themselves in the ass over this one.

  The 4th round is cranking up and you've still got some high profile guys on there.  OG Max Jean Gilles, S Ko Simpson, DT Orien Harris, and LB Elvis Dumervil.  Should be interesting!

Dolphins just picked OT Joe Toledo of Washington.  Holy Toledo!!!  I don't know anything about this guy!!!  Anyone got a write up on him?

     Here's his college profile.

http://gohuskies.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/toledo_joe00.html

Yeah...go read the OL section of my draft report again<g>...I really was hoping SF or Miami would go after Joey T in round four. Glad to see he'll go to a genius O-line coach...Houck will turn Joey into a monster.

OK, looks like Nicholson got snatched up by Cincy so no more worrying about him.  The draft is now in the 6th round.  Time to kick back a little as Miami does not have a 6th rounder but has three 7th rounders. 

Saban talked about needing help on the front seven, but has not drafted anyone to fill that need.  It would not surprise me if he used all three of his remaining picks on LB's and DL's. 

  I can definately see defensive players the rest of the way.  Keep in mind you still have some pretty good players that still haven't gone yet.  DE Melvin Oliver from LSU, LB Freddie Roach from Alabama, DT Rodrique Wright from Texas, and DT Fred Evans from Texas State.

If Saban's recent pattern holds up, Oliver and Roach will be in aqua and orange. 

Actually, Oliver just got snatched up by San Fran who traded up with Jax. 

BTW, I wonder who's gonna win the Mr. Irrelevant award?

Fred Evans!!!  Meet the newest Dolphin, folks!!!!  Hey, Dolfan619, excellent call!!!

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/draft/prospect?contentId=5528196

     The thing about Fred Evans is that, I had read something in the local papers where Coach Saban had sent out one of his defensive coaches to work him out.  I figured that if he was still on the board in the seventh round, Coach Saban would take him.  Evans continues the youth movement at DT.

 

     Okay, the youth movement at DT still continues with Rodrique Wright of Texas.

Another great call on your part!!!  You're looking like a late round draft expert.  Maybe the Dolphins should hire you as a scout  ;D ;D ;D

Here's the lowdown on Wright.  This is a big boy!!!

i like this one alot.  I think his inconsistency will get straightened out in the NFL and he'll eventually be there for us in the middle.  

     With our final pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select WR Devin Aromashodu from Auburn.  Daunte Culpepper and Joey Harrington get a new toy.  Here's his profile, from NFL.com

http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2006/aromashodu_devin

This guy is a local product as he went to Miami Springs High School.  He has a nice burst of accelleration and good hands but tends to operate on the sidelines and avoid contact.  He also tends to give less than 100% at times.  Hope Saban knows what he is doing. 

Hey Dolfan619, one of your other guys, Roach, is still out there.  He might end up not getting drafted.  If that is the case, should Saban pick him up?

     Couldn't hurt.  He's definately a developmental guy, bring him in training camp and see what happens.  You don't lose anything if he doesn't pan out.

Well, now that it's all over, he didn't get drafted, and neither did Marcus Vick.  I think Saban could definitely use those two. 

Just think dolphin fans if i were running the draft you would've had an all pro corner.  ;D............i love gravedigging.
