2008 Miami Dolphins NFL Draft Thread

  JAKE LONG!  Gee, I didn't see that one coming.     Seriously though, I've said once, and I'll say it again.  Welcome to Miami, Big Jake.

I second that.

  For those interested, the lowdown on Big Jake.

Thanks and keep them coming.  I am planning on creating a YouTube video with the draft picks.  I already have the song:  Who Are You by The Who.

I have a strong feeling that Long will be reunited with his college QB today.

Huzienga endorses possible Taylor trade

Back when the Dolphins were in London last season team owner H. Wayne Huzienga said if Jason Taylor or Zach Thomas wanted to be set free from football purgatory he wouldn't stand in their way.

Well, it appears 50 percent of the Dolphins ownership has given the Trifecta the green light to move Taylor, the face of the franchise, who would like to end his career with a contender.

During an interview with ESPN Radio 760 today this is what Huizenga said when asked if Taylor will be a Dolphins by the end of the day.

"I don't know the answer to that question. I like Jason a lot, and I think everybody likes Jason. I want what's best for Jason. If he wants to go where he's got a shot at getting a Super Bowl trophy, I'm all for that. He deserves that," Huizenga said. "If we can get him placed in a spot where he can go to the big game, then we would do that. We've had a lot of conversation but we never really got down to saying trading him. That never happened. What's the best thing for Jason? He's got a big career ahead of him yet...He should go where he can go to the big game."

Does that mean the Dolphins should take less than their initial asking price, which is a first round pick?  And if Taylor is gone by the end of the day who becomes the face of this franchise in 2008? Is Ronnie Brown next in line?

  I'm kinda of going the opposite way.  I think some team will get to Henne before the Dolphins do.

hahaha  Falcons!

I don't understand all the hatred for Ryan. I think he's going to be a stud.

Anyway, lets keep the thread on topic- DOLPHINS DRAFT

So we can't talk about the rest of the draft?  What fun is that?

[DolFan619]

  Okay, I know it's early.  But, who do you think Miami will take at #32?  If Quentin Groves is unavailable, I'm thinking they'll take a CB or DE Lawrence Jackson, USC.

Start a thread in the NFL forum.

I think it'll be a CB if Groves isn't there. I still feel they will be picking prior to #32 though. Talib will probably not be available, and same for Cason. Brandon Flowers?

[DolFan619]

  I was thinking Brandon Flowers.  Definately has the prerequisites for a Bill Parcells CB.  Supports the run, and a solid tackler.
