2012 Draft ROUNDS 2-3

[tubba marxxx]

Here's the bottom line as I see it:  Outside of the Reggie Bush trade, I know the Dolphins should have at least 6 draft picks this year.  So what are the 6 most pressing needs for this team?  You answer that question and you draft the best available player at that position at that round.

My opinion.  Those 6 needs are (in no particular order because it's all about the best available player at that time)

Quarterback
2 Offensive Guards (could be reduced to one if getting rid of Sparano means the ragging hard on for Marc Colombo is gone..thus moving Carey back to tackle)
Offensive Tackle
Safety
Tight End

I think we can all agree that the OLINE needs an overhaul, and the Free Safety position has been lacking for a long time. Apparently anyone that comes from the Cowboys front office doesn't acknowledge Free Safety as a real position, but that's another story for another thread.  And obviously..a franchise quarterback.


Round One:  Landry Jones or Andrew Luck.  Not even a discussion

Round Two:

WRs -  Nick Toon, Wisconsin / Ryan Broyles, Oklahoma / Dwight Jones, North Carolina / Kendall Wright, Baylor
TE - Coby Fleener, Stamford
OT - Mike Adams, Ohio State / Zebrie Sanders, Florida State / Levy Adcock, Oklahoma State
OG - Cordy Glenn, Georgia / Kelechi Osemele, Iowa State
S - Markelle Martin, Oklahoma State


Those dudes I listed above all have a round 1 - 2 potential.  Some will be long gone, some will slide, it is what it is. If it were up to me, my 2nd round pick would be based on who I got at quarterback.  I would want to give my guy someone he knows and is comfortable with.  If I got Luck, I'd try and get Coby Fleener.  If I got Jones, I'd try and get Ryan Broyles.

And I just looked at Kiper and McShay's boards and nfldraftcountdown.com....it sounds like Lineman Mike Adams and Cordy Glenn are first round locks.  And apparently Ryan Broyles was hurt today against Texas A&M..not sure how badly

Broyles was acting like he blew out his knee

Nice post tubba!  I'd be happy with almost any of the guys you picked for round 2 with the exception of Broyles (because he blew his knee out today) and Martin only because I think we can get a better player in the second round...safety is pretty weak this year.  Fleener will probably go in the 3rd round, but I wouldn't be upset taking him in the second either, only because he's my guy in this year's draft and I don't want to miss out of him.

Since Broyles blew his knee out, he'd be worth taking a risk in the 5th or 6th round...which is where I see him going now.  I'll take a 2nd round talent in those rounds due to injury all day.

Thanks dude


I'll keep it going lol.  Round 3 (depending on what we do in Round 2):


TE:  Michael Egnew, Missouri / Ladarius Green, Louisiana-Lafayette
WR:  Jermaine Kearse, Washington / Jeff Fuller, Texas A&M / DeVier Posey, Ohio State
OT:  Matt Reynolds, BYU / Nate Potter, Boise State
OG:  Kevin Zeitler, Wisconsin / Senio Kelemete, Washington
S:  Aaron Henry, Wisconsin



Again, these are projected to be the "best available players" in each round.


Tenshot,  If you think Fleener will go in the 3rd round, then I would be stoked with a draft looking like this in the first 3 rounds:

Round 1:  Luck/Jones (I honestly don't care which one, I would prefer Luck, but would "settle" with Jones..either way, huge upgrade)

Round 2: Markelle Martin.  I feel like Miami has had a huge hole at FS since Sammy Knight left.  There are other ways we could go here with more pressing needs.  However, I believe in the taking the best player available, and the safety market (whether it's draft or FA) is thin this year.  I don't want to pass on a 1 - 2 round talent is fills a need.  Again, not a huge need, but still a need.

Round 3:  Open for discussion but I'll take Coby Fleener.  Big Body TE and would instantly develop a comfort level with Luck (assuming it's Luck with draft).  But either way, I think he would help.  If he's gone, I'd go to the best available Guard or Tackle for O-Line help

then again.  After last week, and obviously more consistent play for the rest of the season, maybe Charles Clay can fill a hole at TE.  He's seemed to come into his own the last two weeks.

Hopefully one of those beast LBs (Hightower & Upshaw) at Bama get busted for reefer before their BCS rematch with LSU and drops into the 2nd round for us.

This is from page 1, but IF Ray Armstrong is sitting there in the second or third round, and Miami passes on him, I shall scream at the heavens.

Mark.  My.  Words.  That guy is going to be what Sean Taylor would have been if he hadn't died.  Knucklehead or not, he's going to be a monster safety in the pros.
