2008 NFL Draft: Day 2 Overflow Thread

Phinsider160_tiny by Matty I on in News

08draft_medium

So here's what has happened today:

-Dolphins take Hampton DE Kendall Langford at #66.

-Dolphins move up to take Utah St. guard Shawn Murphy.  NFL.com compares him to Justin Smiley.  He's an older prospect, though, as he was on a Morman mission.  NFL.com says about the pick:

The Dolphins traded up to get Murphy. This is a good, solid pick at this point in the draft. He's versatile on the offensive line. Murphy is mature and has great size. In Miami, they are going to want to pound the ball and he is not only strong but tough, smart and can change direction. He could be in the league a long time.

-Remaining picks in this draft as of right now:  #176, #195, #204, #245

We'll have much, much more on this weekend's events in the coming days and weeks.

**UPDATE 1:46pm** Interesting little nugget by Ethan Skolnick in his blog :

The Ronnie Brown question I can answer.

He's in much better shape, from what I'm hearing, than he was last year at this time. And I heard a month ago (maybe earlier) that he was ahead of schedule with the knee.

The conversation continues below...

Finally

Feeling with it now.

The Murphy pick was solid, though I wonder if they thought they could have still got Grecco after the Detroit trade.

LOL

I live near Philadelphia. A buddy of mine just called to tell me all about the quick, versatile running back they traded for.

I told him to go do something personal with himself.

WRs

What about the University of Hawaii receivers Davone Bess and Ryan Grice-Mullins. From the games I saw they had fantastic hands and could really run after the catch.

by AAH825 on Apr 27, 2008 1:11 PM EDT   0 recs

interesting

there should still be some good good WR’s around when we pick again

CB help still available

There is a pretty good corner from USF named Trae Williams. I saw all of the USF games and I thought that he was just as good as Mike Jenkins who went in the first round to Dallas from USF.

You Know - Lito

Since we already dealt with the Eagles once…

Maybe again?

Mayhaps we trade something or someone for Lito Shepherd?

Kenneth Moore

would be a good replacement for LoBo, as he would be a servicable RB and WR.

Not off top of my head

Great cover corner, lack of def line play hurt his stats

Hey Matty, About Bowman

last I heard he has a year in prison for possession? Plus he ran a 4.7+ 40
I also heard he was too stupid to take the wonderlic, so he took the “crayola” test…

Yeah

I was upset about that pick yesterday, but a nights rest on it really eased my mind into liking it.

by johnson2399 on Apr 27, 2008 1:29 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

EXACTLY

I needed a night to sell myself on it, and now I’m ok with it.. because we were able to get him without trading up or spending pick 32 on him.. he was probably the best value at 57.. k im done

http://canemutiny.blogspot.com A fans view of Miami Hurricanes Football and Basketball

by Little Nicky 21 on Apr 27, 2008 1:31 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah,

Plus he was a 4 year stater and the game against USF was amazing so…...
Oh yeah….Parcells really likes him too so that must say something…

I am a little blue about loosing LoBo.

He looked like he had some flash!

Henne or McGown

Could be the 13th starting quarterback since Dan retired.

Eerie music in background.

I could really see us building the lines here

for the rest of the draft. Then next year we go after the more flashy picks such as WR CB LB.

by JakeLong77 on Apr 27, 2008 1:37 PM EDT   0 recs

Really?

I would like to see at least one more set of good hands even if it is just a good slot guy.

by AAH825 on Apr 27, 2008 1:40 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I think we need a big guy

Wilford is our only “big” WR.. I would love to see Arrington or Monk in the 6th to add some size to the receiving corps

I like Arrington too.....Colvin from Oregon is an interesting prospect

6’3ish 220 4.5….good hands just has had some very unfortunate events happen….

by johnson2399 on Apr 27, 2008 1:45 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

I do agree on Ted Ginn...

but I think that he will be a Pro Bowler on Special Teams this year

by AAH825 on Apr 27, 2008 1:43 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Yeah I agree

but I think he can be a pro bowl receiver a few years down the road.
