Dolphin Mock Drafts Around the 'Net, 2/26 Edition

Say what you want about Saban, but the man can coach( only in the NCAA of course). I’m all for Rolando McClain. I’m not trying to convince anyone of what the man can do. We’ll see how the draft plays out and I’ll just say if Miami drafts Ro’ then I don’t think anyone will be disappointed come September.

someone highlighted that in year 3 is when you try to become a legitimate championship team and in order to do that you have to make big moves, possibly we might do it but i rather trade down

Is better than a skinny ginn 8 days a week

… he has a big fat head from all the props the people are giving him… and the dollar signs floating in it…

You wont get a Top NT after the 2nd round (Unless Torrell Troup falls that far and you consider him a TOP NT). Kade Weston would be a 6th, 7th, or UFA option but he would have to rise up to his potential to be the answer (he could likely replace Soliai though).

Everyone seems enthralled with that option, why?

ya, if phins sign dansby im all for ng williams…knew wilfork was gonna get tagged…need a young stud in the middle, i like cody but think his weight is gonna be a constant issue…ala the fridge, sign dansby draft williams and best available olb with 2nd pick..hopefully kindle

from boise state, great punt returner, quick, hits hard, solid cornerback. could convert to FS pretty well. I’ve seen him play alot and he was solid. seemed to play his best in big games like against oregon and TCU this past year which i think holds a bit more stock than games against WAC receivers which he played well, but they honestly, who cares, because the WAC is pretty weak.

According to CBS “draft experts”

“The 2008-09 All-American has a penchant for showing up big in the biggest games, including posting two key interceptions in Boise State’s win in 2008 at Oregon, a team-high 10 tackles against Oklahoma in the Broncos’ 43-42 victory over heavily favored Oklahoma in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, and a sack and forced fumble in the upset victory over TCU in the 2010 Fiesta Bowl.

Read & React: Good anticipatory and reaction skills. Has the agility to mirror the receiver’s breaks and likes to sneak a peek at the quarterback in an attempt to get a break on the ball.

Man Coverage: Good straight-line speed and the agility to stick with receivers throughout a route. Smooth hip turn. Doesn’t lose speed in his transition. Competitive, but can be beaten by bigger, more physical receivers. Very good ball skills.

Zone Coverage: Has a low, tight backpedal. Good speed to maintain cushion. Quick feet to change direction efficiently and locates the ball quickly with a closing burst.

Closing/Recovery: Aggressive defender who will bait the quarterback in zone coverage and can break on the ball quickly to make the interception. Times leaps well and can snatch the pass outside of his frame. Can make the first defender miss as a returner and is an elusive runner with good vision. Sets up his blocks well and has the burst to squeeze through gaps and the breakaway speed to go the distance.

Run Support: Plays with a cover corner mentality and rarely involves himself in run support.

he sure looks like he’s running 4.7 or 4.8. Or even if he does run a 4.6 or better in shorts, he seems slow in pads, especially in sideline-to-sideline pursuit.

Anyway, come March 5th I think all the mock drafts may be adjusting their picks for the fins, assuming Karlos Dansby comes on board.

Kindle is a late-teen/early 20’s grade, or even maybe a 2nd rounder? Seems a tad high to get him at 12. I’d trade down and nab a 2nd or 3rd rounder from someone. The Giants, if they lose out on Dansby to us, would be a good candidate at 15, even if that means scooping up 1 additional pick somewhere. We can still get Kindle there, if not later, IMO.

STEAL in the 3rd-5th round for someone. He was the #1 rated recruit when he signed with FSU…but since they suckass…he was hidden. always chasing a guy who had a full head of steam. he would be top 3 smartest hardest workers in the nfl right away. hes a pro. i know ppl who have lunch with him several times a week…hes gonna suceed at whatever he wants to succeed at.

EWe have a need there…hes a helluva talent. do it!! 3rd round!!

Mickey Andrews has lavished him with praise & for good reason.

There’s definitely a bandwagon for Rolle in the making which will become a full-fledged one as soon as somebody commits to driving it…

… or from the slot position..?

Holy.

The kid can rush, cover, and loves to hit. Also big on Hughes and Washington. Go Frogs.
