My mid-preseason prediction as to what the dolphins will do in next year's draft: TRADE!!! Miami Dolphins trade QB Matt Moore and a 5th round pick to the Green Bay Packers in exchange for WR James Jones and a 7th rd pick. Matt moore has to be annoyed by the choosing of tannehill as the starting QB, he has been outplayed by pat devlin thus far and david garrard should be in backup condition by week 1, so moore gets shown the door. This allows us to bring a legit west coast starting WR for tannehill, and give us 4 experianced, starting quality WRs (Jones, Bess, Hartline, Naanee). 1. The dolphins take the best available CB/FS here. They need a lot of help in the secondary, and there are a few very talented DBs available. 2. With the 2nd round pick, the dolphins select the best available WR. Naanee and Hartline both have expiring contracts, and only one of them will most likely be brought back, so this pick gives us a young WR that can grow with tannehill. 3(1). Here, the dolphins fortify their O-line. RG is a major hole, and should be addressed here, adding the final piece to a very good O-line for tannehill. 3(1). I highly doubt the Dolphins' secondary problems can be solved with one pick, so I see the dolphins addressing this position once again, just taking the best available CB/S. 4. This is the last Phins pick until the 7th rd (5th rounder gone for jones, 6th rounder gone in the trade up for lamar miller), so they are going to want to make this pick count. I see them picking up another defensive piece here, but a pass rusher instead of a DB. They pick up a pass rusher here to add to their young arsenal. 7(1). Here, the phins will want a developmental pick, and I see them going with a RB. Steve Slaton and Reggie Bush are free agents, and I think the team doesn't want to resign bush and want a committee approach with a dynamic thunder and lightning combination of Daniel Thomas and Lamar Miller, but they will still need some backups. I see the phins adding one here, a young, speedy back. 7(2). I see the Dolphins adding yet another DB with this pick. They look for some long term depth and add a developmental DB here, someone with a lot of upside
