It's been an interesting draft so far. Lots to talk about, and we haven't even had any Dolphins news yet. So be sure to continue talking about it below in the "live-updating" comments.
As for the Top 15 Challenge we had going, the final standings were:
Finnatic - 13 points
13FinsFan - 13 points
YatilGinnJr - 10 points
Yorke Hunt - 9 points
boss302 - 9 points
Number Seven - 9 points
Matty I - 8 points
Natalya - 8 points
Congrats to "Finnatic" and "13FinsFan" for tying in 1st place.
Things are going to be getting more interesting. So be sure to get involved below!
**UPDATE 6:57pm** First off, here's what we know. The Dolphins have drafted Phillip Merling, out of Clemson, with their #32 pick. Merling was thought to be a first round prospect, but fell after suffering from a "sports hernia," limiting his pre-draft workouts. He did say, though, in a conference call that he could practice next week if he had to. So his health shouldn't be a problem. He also said in the conference call that he envisions himself as a 3-4 DE, but could play OLB if he had to.
I think this selection means Matt Roth and Vonnie Holliday have been put on notice.
And here's a video of Merling.
We'll have more on Merling, and everything related to this weekend's events, in the coming days.
Meanwhile, the Dolphins have indeed traded Lorenzo Booker to the Eagles for their 4th round pick, number 100 overall. I'm kind of disappointed in this, but I guess Booker wasn't this regime's kind of RB.
As for Jason Taylor, rumors are flying that the Dolphins have traded Taylor to the Bucs in exchange for Tampa's 2nd and 4th round picks, and possibly a 6th rounder in 2009. But this is not "confirmed."
**UPDATE 7:21pm** The St. Petersburg Times is now reporting that the Dolphins and Bucs may indeed have a deal in place for Jason Taylor, in which Miami receives Tampa's 2nd rounder (#52 overall).

Jenkins!
Please don’t take him Dallas!!!!!
Let this season BE GINN!
Welcome to the first "overflow" thread of 2008!
This should reduce the lag that was occurring with over 500 comments in the first one.
Wow.....
I still can’t believe that Sam Baker pick….
I guess with Cherilus getting picked early
and no other 1st round tackles available, they figured get him now before PIT does. But I don’t even know if he was a Steeler Target

just reinforces that taking Jlo #1
was the best pick. had the drafted Clo and tired to pick up a tackle late they would be SOL now.

The Redskins got 2 2nd rounders from Atlanta in that deal.
Could one of them be part of a deal for Jason Taylor? Probably not. But it’s fun to talk about.
There be alot to choose from
for Miami sitting at 32.. Jenkins (fingers crossed), Cason, Phillips, Groves, Calais Campbell…. I like it

How smart does it look for Miami to have taken Jake Long now.
Because even the 2nd tier OTs are getting taken in round 1. That would have been a big mistake if Miami passed on Jake.
agreed
was thinking the same thing myself… plus i was the guy saying they would get one of the holdoevers for RT.

Well I'm getting some food...
...so I won’t be in front of the comp.
That usually means big things happen. So odds are something big (Dolphin related) will happen.
JT Rumor
JT has stated that he does not want to be in Miami. So how could trading him be bad. I like that 2nd and 4th picks rumor. Hopefully it will come true.
JT Rumor
Correction, apparently the JT rumor is 2nd, 4th and 6th round pick.
Duane Brown?

STILL no WRs selected....
Maybe we will end up picking a WR here. I mean, we could definitely use them. It’s not our biggest need, but if a player like Sweed or Thomas falls to #32, we always HAVE to take them.

this is a GREAT pick.

In question, i think that is why the slip in the draft. He would be a nice investment but i think his health issue has hurt him so far.

from ESPNs DE/DL draft rankings - good stuff on Merling
Run-stoppers:
Depending on scheme and situation must be able to take on blocks to protect linebackers. Makes plays in pursuit. Plays with leverage, shows discipline and knows how to use hands to tie blockers up. Sniffs out the run quickly and is able to shed blockers. Pursues hard and takes good angles. Plays with a great motor. Is a powerful and reliable open-field tackler.
Best defensive end: Phillip Merling, Clemson
Best defensive tackle: Glenn Dorsey, LSU
can he stand up though?

more ESPN Insider info on Merling...
Strengths: Is a well built DE with adequate height and good bulk, arm length (33.2 ) and hand span (9.5 ). Has above-average initial quickness for size and can beat blockers to the point of attack. Moves well laterally and keeps head up when scraping down the line of scrimmage. Takes excellent pursuit angles, plays with a good motor and has above-average range. Generally does a good job of getting in position, plays with discipline versus the run and will execute his assignment. Thickly built with a strong lower body. Is able to take on blocks when he plays with leverage. Plays with a mean streak. Wraps up upon contact and is reliable open field tackler that can deliver the big hit. Uses hands to protect legs, shows good balance and can fight over cut blocks though is somewhat inconsistent in this area. Flashes the ability to turn the corner and is a relentless pass rusher. Athletic enough to redirect inside after starting outside and flashes an effective swim move. Stays alert, has long arms and gets hands up when isn’t going to get to the quarterback. Has experience lining up at defensive tackle, has experience dropping into coverage and is versatile.
Weaknesses: Has good size for a defensive end but stands up high too much and gets driven back on some of those occasions. Has some problems shedding bocks when he lets blockers lock onto his frame. Does not show powerful upper body strength (only 17 reps on bench press). Lacks elite closing speed for an end and is going to have a harder time turning the corner at the NFL level. Relies on quickness and athletic ability too much and isn’t much of a bull rusher at this point. Turns shoulders and creates running lanes too much. Doesn’t always rush outside in and lets quarterbacks break contain too much.
Overall: Merling played 271 snaps during his true freshman season in 2005. He started all 13 games of the 2006 season, finishing with 46 total tackles, including ten tackles-for-loss. Merling also recorded three sacks, 20 quarterback hurries and one forced fumble that year. In 2007, he recorded 78 total tackles, including 17 tackles-for-loss and seven sacks. Merling does not possess the speed of a dominant edge rusher and he needs to improve his upper body power. However, Merling is a gifted athlete for his size and he projects as an impact every-down starter in the NFL. While he could develop into a solid 3-4 end, we think his best fit is at the power-end position in a traditional 4-3 scheme. Regardless, Merling projects as a mid-first round pick.

Has the JT report been officially confirmed yet? I am hoping my praying ritual worked and it was just a very very cruel joke.
Let this season BE GINN!
I already talked about this
He is the focal point and face of this franchise. He is a year detached from being the defensive mvp. I think a lot of you are making the mistake of blaming this past season on him but he still had a decent year.
Let this season BE GINN!
Yes please explain
Why would anyone want him since he has said that he does not want to be here anymore.
They might
take Limas Sweed

I wasn't here for the initial reaction to Merling.
What do you guys think? You like the idea of taking a 3-4 DE at #32?
I am confused
Everywhere I read, they say he isn’t built for a 3-4 system. I like his videos so far though, seems to be a real beast.
Let this season BE GINN!
Will he be a DE for sure?
He’s a bit undersized, listed between 275-280. Usually DEs in a 3-4 are 285-300. Either way I like it. Great value.
I like it
he comes in at 280 if he puts on 10-15 lbs he’ll be a great 3-4 end. I think he was the best value at that pick.

LoBo trade confirmed on ESPN.
That kind of pisses me off, actually. I really thought that he could add a different angle to our offense as a Reggie Bush/H-back style player.
Of course, this also may mean that Ricky Williams is impressing the Tuna enough that we don’t need LoBo…..

wideout
is the best move but not if there is a good value pick at corner.
Like Tom Petty said....
And he’s free, free fallin
Yeah he’s free, free fallin
Free fallin, now Henne’s free fallin, now he’s
Free fallin, now Brohm’s free fallin, now he’s
Free fallin.

thats what im saying
I love the passing on the qb thus far too
Groves at 52 would be HUGE
and then a Corner at 57 like King.. good call guys

starting to get that excited feeling again as our pick(s) get nearer - like at 2.1
still LOTS of value on the board, at multiple need positions
Groves stands up and replaces JT
Merling puts his hand down and plays the 3-4 end

Brohm
A solid back up if Beck doesn’t pan.
If we don’t get a QB today this is the ultimate vote of confidence in Beck. Which is absolutely bizarre the way he played last year.
If Henne or Brohm falls to rd 3
do you think we should then take one?

I wont run to conclusions on Beck just yet, lets wait out to see who we pick today and tomorrow, let the kid develop with some good young guys around him, solid O line, he can be sucessfull.
Champions aren't made in the gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside them -- a desire, a dream, a vision.

We already have a solid backup for Beck in Josh McCown.
I will be very surprised if we take Brohm or Henne. Maybe a guy like Josh Johnson, Dennis Dixon, or Colt Brennan in the 5th or 6th, but no earlier then that for QB.

agreed
except with Brohm/Henne dropping, what about JDB or K O’Connell maybe in the 4th
