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

It’d be nice to snatch him up

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 reply actions 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
by and1ms238 on Apr 27, 2008 3:59 PM EDT up reply actions 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.

by phranchise on Apr 27, 2008 4:03 PM EDT reply actions 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.

Some Donald Thomas Info
http://www.nfldraft.rivals.com/cview…eport#scouting
The Good: This former walk-on is very quick off the ball and explodes into his blocks. Thomas has a quick, strong hand punch that gives him an advantage and allows him to use his fine physical talents to carry out assignments. He has the athletic ability and strength to continue to progress as an NFL lineman.The Bad: Thomas has ability, but he is a raw, developing lineman with limited experience. He only started from his late-junior season on at Connecticut. He needs overall strength work, especially in the lower unit where he is barely adequate.
Outlook: Thomas is a borderline top 200 prospect who will likely fall to the late second day of the draft based on potential and limited playing time. He is a possible NFL starter, but Thomas must continue to improve and develop with experience to take advantage of his impressive athleticism.
http://www.realfootball365.com/index…necticut/10335
Last season was Thomas’ first as a starter, and he didn’t allow a sack for the 9-4 Huskies.
http://www.uconnhuskies.com/AllStori…20080226a.html
Saturday, Donald Thomas stacked up favorably against his fellow draft-eligible offensive linemen.
The West Haven, Conn. native was second amongst offensive linemen in the 40-yard dash (5.00 seconds). He also tied for 12th in the bench press with 28 reps and was fifth in the 3-cone drill with a time of 7.45 seconds. Perhaps more importantly for an offensive lineman, Thomas’s 40-yard dash included the combine’s fastest 10-yard split (1.72 seconds) and the third-best 20-yard split (2.89 seconds) amongst offensive linemen.

The Second
Linebacker other than the OLBs needs to be able to run and play in space. I never saw Henderson play, but Highsmith has unbelievable playing speed.

Honestly if we don’t draft a decent WR in FA then don’t care how good Ginn can become, we still need some playmakers.

it is a 3 year project.. but I see us passing on guys that can really help us at positions that were either really poor or really old at.. Not disappointed at all.. just wondering how its all gonna come together.
We got one more pick then UDFA’s and Parcells hasn’t failed at this before..
I do wonder when we start to get younger at OLB.

Hilliard on NFL
Compares To: MARION BARBER, III-Dallas…Hilliard is a load to bring down in one-on-one situations (54.9% of his non-touchdown runs the last two years, 130-of-299, required multiple defenders to bring him down). He has the forward body lean, leg drive and power to consistently get the tough yardage between the tackles. He is more quick than fast and has been quite as productive getting long yardage off draw plays. He is a capable receiver on controlled routes and has developed into a capable cut blocker. He has made strong recovery from an Achilles tendon injury, but because of a lack of blazing speed, he is better served as an inside runner than one who should be attacking the edges. Barber is a more polished route-runner and receiver, but when used on controlled routes, Hilliard has proven to be a capable safety valve.

I think overall we had a very good draft so far. I love the way that we are building inside out. We need that no question about it.
