**Dolphins select Brian Hartline in fourth round**

doesnt make sense to me… the last 2 picks have been medicore at best…

With Chris Baker 6-2, 325 Hampton; Sammie Lee Hill, 6-4, 330 Stillman; Terrance Taylor, 6-0, 305 Michigan available. Where’s the big body for when Ferguson goes down? Paul Soliai? Joe Cohen? I could understand getting a big-bodied WR. Turner is a goal-line talent but where’s the meat on the line?

I would have loved him here!!!!!! This pick makes no sense to me either

A player drafted to be a top-quality special-teamer. We all know how poorly our ST unit performed last season.

Turner seems to be that guy we’re taking a chance on to develop into a big, physical receiver. Hartline seems to be the special-teamer with upside.

Granted that doesn’t mean the value with Hartline was necessarily great. But I can’t imagine we drafted both Turner and Hartline to compete with GamCam, Bess, and Ginn.

But why Pat White, what are they going to do with him? And the second reciever I’m sure they could have waited and picked him up later, why so soon, there had to be better talent on the board.

I really haven’t seen any good things on any of the picks, but last year was a bunch of lunch box players from the draft too, nobody sexy and look what they did. Besides that with 11 picks, they should be able to upgrade from last year. And hopefully JT will be back…. We’ll know when the season starts rolling what we have. But with Parcells you can second guess his track record. Check out how many of his late round picks turn out to be successful. The last few rounds may be the best of the bunch.

That Camarillo’s injury is more serious than we know. Turner will probably take over for Wilford. Turner is good (from what I’ve read) in the red zone. Hartline will fight for Cam’s spot. But now with 2 picks in the 5th, 1 sixth and 2 7th picks, I really hope we pick up a DT, OLB AND ILB plus OL help – one each of T and G/C. It would make the draft full of potential. What do you think?

even if his injury doesn’t keep him off the field, he is not real big, or real fast. he is reliable and has a lot of heart.

but if you can have a big target that is not real fast, or a fast target that is not real big, as long as the run good routes and catch the ball, you have an upgrade over camarillo.

I get that we’re still rebuilding, and probably still in that first stage of rebuilding where you’re just trying to upgrade the overall athleticism of your roster. So you try to get guys who are athletic and hard working and could play any of several roles. Maybe they’re not going to work out as a starting WR or LB (not that we’ve drafted an LB, but I’m talking about LB-type bodies), but they’ll do until you get those guys, and then they’ll make great special teamers or can be packaged up as trade bait.

All that said, we really do need a backup/future NT and some additional beef along the OL. I guess the Trifecta think it’s more likely that those guys will still be available in the later rounds than that these skill-position guys would.

but maybe they have their eye on Antonio Dixon 6-3 320 DT Miami FL as a UDFA
Not sure if Harline could have been picked later, but he looks like he could be a bigger, faster, better blocker, and better special teamer than Greg Camarillo

After the great 3 picks on day 1 I thought we were on the way to a great draft—today has me wondering if tuna did too much partying last nite—thought there was better talent available than who we drafted—usc recvs havent really sparkled at the next level recently—i hope im wrong—i do like the s from clemson-he should help out

No one can know how this draft will work out for a few years yet, so I’m not worrying one bit. What makes Parcells and company great at drafting players is their ability to coach up what they draft. “Use the force, Luke” (and the biggest force in this star system is Bill Parcells).

Sounds like he has a good attitude.

I am not sure what it is that you don’t understand about this pick. This guy showed a lot of promise before a change of philosophy at OSU.

We had glaring needs at both WR and DB. We stockpiled!!! It something that Ireland and Parcells have talked about in the past—creating competition at each and every position. We have decent LBs and decent DLs. Our most urgent needs were WRs and DBs. Now, camp will be filled with both, all trying to win a roster spot and/or starting position. I love these picks!!

What this tells me is that we might be seeing JT back in a Phins uni come training camp and I couldn’t be happier about that. (now if we could just get Zach back and switch him to FB I would puke with joy!!!)

Go phins!! I miss home!!
