2008 NFL Draft: Day 2 Overflow Thread #2
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

I think the Sleeper WR in this draft is Jason Rivers....I would love to have him in the slot...
by johnson2399 on Apr 27, 2008 3:53 PM EDT 0 recs
he is a solid player
I think could be the best WR from Hawaii in the draft

Woodson is a surprise
I kinda expected Colt to fall because he’s 6’1 185 and kinda fragile

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

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

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.

Maybe that downfield receiver we’re looking for..

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

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.

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.
