2008 Miami Dolphins NFL Draft Thread

[KC]

OH God I would rather have had Brohm. 

Well yeah that's what happens when you roll the dice too much although I'm pretty happy with the way the draft is going

[fyo]

I would much rather have had Brohm, but I think Henne is also going to be successful at the next level.

Next season sure is going to be exciting. I can't wait!

[Thundergod]

Fins take Henne.

Sweeeet.

[Philly Fin Fan]

I like the Henne pick. Another Southeastern PA QB!

BTW- 3 of the 4 QBs taken so far are from SouthEastern PA/ Southern NJ.

Let the QB debate begin  ...  or should I say continue.

[simeon]

ALRIGHT!!! Henne will be a good QB in the future.

Let the QB debate begin  ...  or should I say continue.

Every other coach/GM regime brought in "their guys" at QB. Why should this regime be any different? (Wanny had Fiedler. Spielman wanted him out, brought in Feeley. Saban wanted him out, brought in Harrington and Culpepper. Cameron wanted them out, brought in Green and Beck. Obviously, Ireland/Sparano want their own guys.)

Can't say I'm too thrilled with that pick.  I was not a big fan of Henne in college.  Since the jury is still out on Beck and since the Fins have so many other glaring needs to address.  But hey, I don't claim to know more than the Dolphins brainstrust does, so I'll keep the faith that they know what they are doing.  But if they HAD to take a QB, I would have liked to have seen Brohm slip one more spot to the Fins.

I love the Henne pick. He has a chance to be a good NFL quarterback, which is more than you can say for anyone else who's played the position since 1999.

As for Brian Brohm, he looked a lot worse playing for a bad Louisville team last year. And the Dolphins are a bad team right now.

One nitpick: would it have been worth the risk to fill another need at 57 and take Henne at 64? Only the Bucs were any risk to pick a QB between 58-63 (the other teams being the Colts, Giants, Cowboys, Pats, and Packers who just took Brohm).

If they passed on Henne at 57, who is to say some one wouldn't jump up to the bottom of round 2 to grab him?

How much do they save if they cut Beck.

  I really like the Chad Henne pick....especially at #57.  Henne will have a much better NFL career then Brian Brohm will.  Parcells/Ireland/Sparano put together a great first day of the draft.  I am VERY happy with Miami's first 3 picks.   Can't wait to see who we pick tommorrow.

  I was happy that they drafted Phillip Merling.  If Merling wasn't coming off a sports henia injury, he would have been an automatic first rounder.  I am rather upset that we took Chad Henne, when we had Patrick Lee sitting right in front of us.  Anyways, here's the lowdown on Chad Henne.

I don't like that at all. He was a 3rd rounder last year and the few chances down the stretch where he got a chance, he performed well.

Booker's a playmaker, he'll do really well for the Eagles. Mark my words, we'll come to regret this trade.

  No doubt about it, very stupid trade.
