So I spent the weekend inProvidence, and missed most of the draft . Did they Take any WR's? I would have liked them to have picked up manningham

  Nope, haven't picked up a WR yet.

  We're on the clock!

  RB Jalen Parmele, Toledo.  Here is the lowdown on Jalen.

No doubt about it.  Parcells and Co. are looking to get younger AND bigger at the same time.  This guy is probably insurance in case Ricky and Ronnie can't go..... plus a developmental project. 

Two more picks in this round, and two more in the second.  Sit back and relax Dolfans, it's not over yet.

Yeah but we could have done with talent at CB (and WR, but I guess technically everywhere!) and we're very late in the day to be finding that?

So why did we trade Lorenzo Booker then?

I said younger AND bigger.  Parmele has the size to be an every-down back.  Booker does not.

  Well, Adrian Arrington out of Michigan is still available.  Word is, is that Miami likes him.  Maybe he gets drafted with Miami's next pick.  We'll see.

Good idea.  Let's bring three players from MEEEEEECHIGAN in the fold.  I'll bet Jim "Mad Dog" Mandich will be howling on Sports Talk WQAM. 

Dolphins have two of the next 17 picks.  Stay tuned!!!!

Maybe, but from the reports, Parmele doesn't have the versatility to be an every down back.  He can't hit the corner well.

Puzzling that we'd trade Booker, only to get Parmele.  Maybe they're trying to get him as a downhill runner on 3rd and short.  ...or play him as a FB hybrid to block a lot.

  He probably has value on Special Teams.

Five picks left before Miami selects at #195, and I swear, there is still talent out there at a lot of positions.  WRs on the board like Arrington (though tthe whole UM thing needs to chill a little), Paul Hubbard, DJ Hall... LBs like Ali Highsmith, Erin Henderson... DBs like DeJuan Tribble, Josh Barrett and Simeon Castille...

Still meat on the bone...we're not finished with the draft feasting yet.

[Dolphin-UK]

With the 29th pick of the 6th round the Miami Dophins draft Safety Dolphin-UK out of Bristol, England.....

Next year I'm going to declare for the draft

I think we need WR, they take time to settle, and assuming our future QB is on the roster now.....would be nice to get one in now,.....
