2008 NFL Draft: Day 2 Open Thread

08draft_medium

Day 2

After a fun, but exhausting day yesterday, we are back for day 2, which begins at 10 am EDT.  Still some very good players available and it sure would be good for the Dolphins, for once, to uncover a "hidden gem" here in the later rounds.  This is where great teams are made and solid depth is found.

I won't go on and list all the players I would like to see taken, but here are a few I wouldn't mind Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland selecting here on day 2:

-RBs - Kevin Smith, Jamaal Charles, Tashard Choice
-WRs - Mario Manningham, Andre Caldwell, Earl Bennett, Early Doucet
-OLs - Jeremy Zuttah, Carl Nicks, Roy Schuening, Anthony Collins, John Greco
-DLs - Red Bryant, Pat Sims, Frank Okam
-LBs - Beau Bell, Dan Connor, Cliff Avril, Tavares Gooden, Shawn Crable
-DBs - Reggie Smith, Charles Godfrey, Justin King, DaJuan Morgan, Antwaun Molden, Josh Barrett, Tyvon Branch

As you can see, some very good players are still on the board.

**UPDATE 9:51 am** The Dolphins have traded pick #64 to the Lions.  In return, the Dolphins get pick #66 and Detroit's 6th round pick (#176 overall).  Not bad, just sliding down 2 spots.

**UPDATE 10:14am** The Dolphins, with pick #66, take Hampton DE Kendall Langford.  He's a 6'5, 287 pound defensive end, an ideal player for a DE in a 3-4 defense.  Interesting stat on Langford:  On 234 running plays towards Langford, the opposition has gained just 64 yards against him.  Dominating much?

**UPDATE 12:20pm** The Dolphins move up 5 spots from 115 to 110 and take Utah St. guard Shawn Murphy.  He's a massive guy, at 6'3, 320.  He might be a bit raw, but he's very strong.  And with Tony Sparano's background, I'm confident they can develop him into a quality player.  Solid pick.  Dolphins had to give up pick #208 to move up in the trade with Chicago.

So join us in the "live comments" below.  And if you haven't created an account with us yet, now is a good time to do so.

Nicks

I was very high on him until I heard that he actually started getting in yelling matches with some of the coaches at the combine/pro day. I like Collins a bit more. i really want to see Godfrey or King at 64.

They seriously need to consider taking a wide receiver with this pick, we passed up on some great names yesterday and receivers a bigtime need. Doucet or Manningham please!!

Why not? With Long and Henne now Phins, might as well complete the Michigan trio.

He really wasn’t that big of a problem in Ann Arbor.

I don't see that as a big issue

I’ve never even touched the stuff, but I don’t see smoking weed as a major issue. It’s nothing compared to the likes of Ransy Moss and other successful WRs when they were in college.

I'm a Michigan fan as well as a Dolphin fan

I love Manningham personally. I just don’t think Tuna is going to draft another Michigan guy and his “character issues” might be another reason to stay away from him.

How intelligent does

a wide receiver need to be? His Wonderlic was an eye-popping SIX. Does he fit the stated ‘smart, tough, disciplined’ mode of the head honchos?

Adam Schefter believes...

...that Jason Taylor could still be traded, for some kind of package of 3rd, 4th, and 5th rounders.

My question would be: who is going to replace Taylor? Merling is a defensive end and I doubt he can play as an OLB in a 3-4.

Maybe Hart

for a Michigan trio esp. now Lobo is history.

we don’t! That guy is no bigger than LoBo and slooooowwwww. I really hope we don’t take Manningham either- rumor is his wonderlic 6 was “entirely earned”.

I’m sure the player Parcells wants will still be available two spots later, plus we get another pick, granted it be 6th round.

I just found out that Samson has a brother named Hercules who may be a decent OG pickup for a late round pick or possibly signed as a UFA. I don’t know much about him but I like Samson and I love his name!

by Stin on Apr 27, 2008 10:14 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Merling is not a speed rusher.

Roth has underperformed and Holliday is getting long in the tooth. They needed DE’s looking to the future.

by dab415217 on Apr 27, 2008 10:15 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

We'll be in a 3-4 though

so the DE’s aren’t supposed to be speed rushers, guys like JT and Porter are the speed rushers. And Langford isn’t actually a speed merchant either. I think he’s just adding rotation guys on the DL we now have Ferguson, Starks, Merling, Langford, Holliday

I’d be surprised to see Merling playing at OLB. Perhaps both Holliday and Roth are being put on notice. Their future in Miami is in serious jeopardy.

Langford from sporting News

Langford is a ‘tweener: He looks like a thin defensive tackle, but plays more like a defensive end. GMs should be careful not to overdraft Langford, who must improve his technique and intensity to maximize his potential but is worth a late-round gamble.

I think what this pick and the #32 pick show us...

is that the new regime clearly places much more value on pass rushers and guys who can stop the run then Cornerbacks. It is no coincidence that the great Parcells giants teams had terrific pass rushers with merely average corners…

Scouts.com on Langford

Overall: In Langford’s first three seasons at Hampton (2004-’06), he appeared in 36 games (27 starts) and recorded 164 total tackles (42.5 for losses) and 18.5 sacks. As a senior in 2007, he started all 11 games and finished the season with 72 tackles (13.5 for losses), six sacks, two forced fumbles and a blocked kick. He began his career at defensive tackle, moving to right defensive end in 2005 before switching to the left side in ‘06. Playing at a small school obviously raises concerns about Langford’s ability to make the leap to the NFL. He needs to become a more fundamentally sound run defender and learn to play with more consistent leverage. However, Langford has the frame, bulk and natural strength to take on blocks as a two-gap end in a 3-4 alignment. That’s why we think the small-school product will not last long on Day 2 of the 2008 draft.

DBs

I think that our DBs can cover. Deion in his prime couldn’t help us last year. QBs had all day. Another problem was that we were run over by every RB. the safeties were always cheating up to the line . If we solidify our front 7, the back 4 can play. Most people loved Travis Daniel 2 or 3 years ago. Will Allen, Travis Daniel, Y. Bell, Jason Allen. . . Nothing wrong with that.

Langford?

I guess the Fins do not like the DE’s they got for the 3-4 in the Free-Agency. Because Merling or Langforf are not playing in a two point stance to take the place of Jason Taylor. Anybody have thoughts on this position

I LOVE what they are doing. This is how you build winning teams. I’m just worried about the guard spot.

Hopefully Zuttah falls to Miami in round 4!

by Matty I on Apr 27, 2008 10:49 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

They need depth

Both are run stuffers. Jason Fergusson will be in the middle. Starks will probably play all along the line.

Roth can’t play every down and may just not have it. Holliday is up there in years and may not be suited for a pure 3-4 end.

Merling can get back there and crush running backs. Langford was kind of a reach.

At yesterday's close...

... I perused Salguero’s ‘live blog’ and it stunk. He spent the whole day anticipating the JT trade and through fear or laziness contributed nothing to the proceedings. There were more comments from some guy Jason who wet his pants every time he thought we might get Brohm or Henne. Then I think he did at 57.

How about this quote from Armando's blog.

He’s trying to start fights:

Hey Scummy, I’m at Dolphins camp right now. Why don’t you come over and ask me that question you loser.

Armando is a tough guy. lol

JT

He’ll be in on the field blasting people. Natural competitor. Parcells will smooth it over and stroke his ego. It’s a matter of view: They were trying to help him to get to a competitive team and the other teams didn’t want him. That will put a big chip on his shoulder. No way he retires, it is in his blood.

Okay, back to bed.

Too much franziskaner left in the system.

Taylor is going to be a phin next year. Relax everyone. If I remember correctly, he’s a fairly good player. :-)

Let’s land a guard and Frank Okam. I’ll be happy then.

Maybe Matty’s “Beau” (old timey language) will be on board yet.

Yeah

but the Jags desperately needed a pass rusher. I don’t see how he’s a bigger reach at 8 when he was projected as top 10 or 15, and the Flacco pick gets a pass at 18 when he was graded out as a 2nd rounder.

Truthfully...

Arrington has more character issues than Manningham. Arrington was in Carr’s doghouse several times and did have an assault charge against him last year.

Manningham’s character issues are under the microscope a bit more because he lied about smoking weed at the Combine.

by anaconda on Apr 27, 2008 11:15 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Im going based on talent.. I just think Arrington is a better WR for us because we need a big target with good hands..
