Sports Illustrated Mock Draft - Post-BCS Edition

by Kevin Nogle on Jan 10, 2012 9:00 PM EST in 2013 NFL Mock Drafts

Andrew Perloff from SI.com posted an updated mock draft today, updating with everyone who has decided to stay in school, such as Oklahoma's Landry Jones and USC's Matt Barkley.

Perloff has Andrew Luck going number one to the Indianapolis Colts, followed by the Cleveland Browns trading with the St. Louis Rams to get the second overall pick, and Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III.

So, where does that leave the Miami Dolphins? Perloff has Miami turning to their defense with the ninth overall choice, selecting North Carolina Tar Heels linebacker Zach Brown. Says Perloff of the pick:

"Lots of questions still remain about what systems the Dolphins will be using next season, given their unsettled coaching situation. Brown is the best 4-3 outside linebacker in the draft and would help take some pressure off Cameron Wake."

Make sure you check out the rest of Perloff's Post-BCS Championship Mock Draft.

RT or OLB...that's what it's going to be.

4-3 OLB is what we need...?

On the weakside, yes

If we’re going to use the No.8 or 9 pick on a linebacker, it should be Luke Kuechly. He’s a taller, faster Zach Thomas with sick instincts and the versatility to play the mike or will spot. He and Te’o were slated to be the two best linebackers in this draft before Te’o decided he wanted to back and play on a floundering

Zach Brown is ridiculously fast for a linebacker, though.

Riley Reiff, Jonathan Martin or Courtney Upshaw in the first round; Nick Foles or Ryan Tannehill in the second round.

I really do not want to go o-line with our first pick

I would rather get Upshaw

I Say

bite the bullet, go RT. If wet get a shiny new QBIII, I mean… QB, we wanna protect him and keep him healthy while he acclimated and learns to decimate. If we keep Moore, he’d benefit from not being chased all Sunday from the right side while frantically searching for BM (who is probably creating new routes to tweet about to Cutler).

And

Miami already has John Jerry, who did a good job at LT, and would make a great RT.

Personally, I'd go with Kahlil

over automatically going with Jerry. Jerry was adequate, Kahlil has been described (in the previous draft post) as the only Tackle in the draft with no flaws to his game. With him on one side, Long on the other and Pouncey in the middle, that’s one hell of a line. Maybe play around with Jerry as RG or strong depth at both OT positions. Either way, that’s a line that can make a QB look spectacular. We are always envious of the time Brady usually has in the pocket, this move would give us the same.

And

for goodness sake, leave the defensive scheme alone! New pieces, yes. New scheme or coordinator…. no no NO! Just as trans were recovering from the lockout and supposedly gelling offensive pieces, our defense became a terror. It ain’t broke, quit looking for ways to break it!

(this means YOU, Fisher, and your 4-3 ideas).

This move wood keep him fresh!

wopper "the king" computer
We often look rite past the positive's cuz the negative's-r-so hard they dominate! Have you touched & preened your beaver-pelt yet!
Chyt; cha aint seen the worst tilo youd seen the least - Henne to Marshall compleat two year descreption!

I see him as an old coach stuck in his ways. He'd change us over, I'm sure.

Unfortunately I agree!!!

by DolfanPTY on Jan 11, 2012 12:24 AM EST up reply actions

like it or not familuarity is what make coaches happy if one is let go then one is hired control is another wepon at ones disposal maybe in 4 years we will hire Nolan as head coach but till then sink or swim!

by wild zion beaver on Jan 11, 2012 8:23 AM EST up reply actions

I believe if we hire Fisher, Nolan is gone.

He has done wonders with our D and I hope we get a coach who leaves both coordinators in place. The most tweaking we need is effective touchdown plays inside that 3-10 yard range.

by PhinNomenol! on Jan 11, 2012 8:55 AM EST via Android app up reply actions

Now this has a realistic tone to it, we had a "game plan a few years back" that did this same very thing!

by wild zion beaver on Jan 11, 2012 7:38 PM EST up reply actions

Draft Zach Brown!!

Brown would be a beast at OLB for Miami! He runs a 4.48 40 yard dash!

by tpl on Jan 11, 2012 5:58 AM EST reply actions

If can't get RGIII in the draft Zach Brown was a excelent pick

Moore could be the starter for next year, and meybe resign Henne with 1 or 2 year contract could be a good move to.
Inclusive Delvin with 1 year in PS could have an oportunity next year.

Other option could be trade down and get Tannehill or Foles in later 1st or 2nd round… inclusive Weeden in 3rd round, I like Weeden he only falls in draft order because his age, but he looks like a PlugAndPlay Ready QB, I think he could be an improve over Moore and Henne.

This is the dumbest draft I have seen yet.

I am in no way convinced that Cleveland takes a QB, but trading up 2 spots to do it? That’s just ridiculous.

I listen to the Dan Patrick show daily

and can honestly say that Andrew Perloff (aka McLovin) does not impress me with his ability to judge talent in Football.

a wise man once said..."My cats breath smells like cat food"
My love for THE MIAMI DOLPHINS is unconditional...period!
Win for pride, Win for us fans!
God I hope we can knock the Jets out of the playoffs, I couldn't imagine despising a team and fan base more.

Go Dolphins!
