2008 NFL Draft: Day 2 Overflow Thread #2

Phinsider160_tiny by Matty I on in News

Fun day so far.  Here's a quick recap of Miami's day 2 picks so far:

#66: Hampton DE Kendall Langford
#110: Utah St. G Shawn Murphy
#176: Toledo RB Jalen Parmele

A little info about Parmele.  He measures in at 5'11, 224 lbs.  He has decent speed for his size, running a 4.47 40.  However, he reportedly plays slower than his timed speed.  But he's a tough, physical inside runner who can pick up those short yards.  Seems like a solid, "Parcells-esque" pick.

I'm running out to do a favor for some people, so I won't be by the computer for the remaining picks.  Much more on all of this weekend's events in the coming days and weeks.  Should be a lot of fun breaking this thing down.

**UPDATE 5:03pm** With the #195 pick, the Dolphins take UCONN guard Donald Thomas.  So that makes 2 second-day guards taken.  Thomas is 6'3, 303.  He's got good quickness for a guard, but seems like a bit of a project.  His technique needs work and some seem to question his strength.

Then, at #204, the Dolphins took their 2nd running back of day 2, selecting Montana RB Lex Hilliard.  Hilliard measures in at 5'11, 230.  He's a pure power back who doesn't have good speed.  He does seem very strong and he is effective in short-yardage situations.  He's a solid blocker as well, so he could become a FB at this level.

**UPDATE 7:06 pm** And to close out Miami's draft, the Dolphins selected Arizona DT Lionel Dotson.  Dotson has a big frame, at 6'3, 296, and according to various draft sites, he has the potential to add on some weight without restricting his performance.  So he could potentially be a project NT.  At the very least, he adds competition along the defensive line.  One report I read, though, does say he's not as strong as you'd like. 

So that closes out the 2008 draft.  We'll have thoughts and reaction for many days/weeks to come, beginning tonight.

Thanks to everyone who joined in our "live" draft threads.  It was a great time!!

Feel free to share your initial thoughts on this draft below...

Scouts Inc. says Tribble from BC

I would lean towards Terrell from Mizzou, Sharpe from UM, or Walker from OU

Woodson is a surprise

I kinda expected Colt to fall because he’s 6’1 185 and kinda fragile

by DolfinPhan on Apr 27, 2008 3:55 PM EDT   0 recs

John Beck + Lorenzo Booker + Ted Ginn Jr+ Jake Long = SUPERBOWL IS NEAR!

Paul Hubbard

what does everyone think about the WR out of Wisconsin?

by and1ms238 on Apr 27, 2008 3:57 PM EDT   0 recs

somewhere in the 4.4 4.5 range

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

by Little Nicky 21 on Apr 27, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

from ESPN

“his size-to-speed ratio is outstanding and he flashes some game-breaking qualities.”

Sounds good especially for a guy whos 6’3

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

by Little Nicky 21 on Apr 27, 2008 3:58 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

speed as well.

i know its a reach… but can you see Chris Chambers in him? he has that athleticism…

or maybe its because he’s from Wisconsin

by and1ms238 on Apr 27, 2008 3:59 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

He is solid, i like Arrington from Michigan b/c of he is younger and he played at Michigan. Rivers from Hawaii is solid also.

Besides that last catch

where he made it in the middle of coverage, he seemed to be wide open every time. I liked what I saw.

Of course it is all highlights

by GT Dolfan on Apr 27, 2008 4:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

Fast and Size...

his first year playing was a junior… hes raw talent. can be developed with coaching.

he’d be a project… but can you imagine the results with his speed… size… and athleticism.

by and1ms238 on Apr 27, 2008 4:05 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

wow

he gets lit up a couple mins into that video.. DAMN he does look real smooth with the ball and he catches it with ease

ignorant question...

why so many good WR slipping so far in the draft?

by phranchise on Apr 27, 2008 4:03 PM EDT   0 recs

I don’t think this year we have seen that batch of “great ability and athleticism” for receivers, and some either we’re hurt alot, did not play often, or just don’t fit teams needs. I dont think there is that one big physical receiver out there. But we do need playmakers.

Yah, teams do that.

It’s a niche position.

by DolfinPhan on Apr 27, 2008 4:09 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

its a rare skill

and everybody needs a good one.. remember the Giants a couple years back the LS fxxked up 2 FG’s with bad snaps.. its a need position for sure

dolphin draft Grade: 8/10

big, mean nasty trench players who stuff the run and push the rush on its ass. Just soooo Parcells.

Make me wonder what Cam Cameron would have done if he was still HC…

wait, no I don’t want to wonder about that.

by DolfinPhan on Apr 27, 2008 4:08 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

It really is interesting the difference

Last year was all speed….This year is size
