Miami Dolphins Draft Picks
The first round pick was obvious, you have an Offensive
Coordinator that helped develop Tannenhill into his first round success, and
plus the Dolphins really needed to find a quarterback to solidify that roll.
For the second round pick it kind of worried me a bit. They drafted Jonathan
Martin, offensive tackle from Stanford. This was the man to cover Andrew Luck’s
blindside. What worries me is he is supposed to compliment with Jake Long, but
Jake Long’s rookie contract is coming up to an end pretty soon. So, I was
wondering if Martin was the pick for life after Jake Long. If it is, he has
some big shoes to fill, and hopefully he could live up to the expectations. As
for the third round pick they drafted defensive end Olivier Vernon and Michael
Egnew. This is a risky pick considering Olivier had some off the field issues with
a booster. He was suspended for about 6 games last season because of it. But,
from the few games that I watched of him, and from some YouTube videos it
showed that this man is a freak of nature and could really help out Cameron
Wake. With Fasano not being very productive and sometimes inconsistent, made
them draft Egnew. It didn’t play so well with Missou last year but I think he
can develop into a nice threat over time with Tannenhill. For the 4th
round selection they drafted a running back from Miami, Lamar Miller. This was
a very good pick for the new style offense. He can be compared to a Reggie Bush
style back with his quick legs and pretty good hands. With Daniel being the
goal line back, Reggie and Lamar could make a good tandem in the back field and
surprise a lot of fans. These were the 5 picks that I thought would immediately
help out the team, and no surprise that 4 out of 5 were offensive picks. As for
the others like B.J Cunningham, Josh Kaddu, Kheeston Randall, and Richard
Matthews they will most likely develop into the next few years, and probably
won’t be seen that much in their rookie campaign.
Stephen Ross have new plans?
From doing a lot of research on the Dolphins and Stephen Ross, he finally made a point that I actually liked. And that is to bring super bowl L to Miami. With that said, It showed he had confidence in the new coach and that he actually wants to start winning ball games instead of just trying to make money. Also, he talked about how he wants to make Sun Life different, and by adding in a water park. He also talked about adding a canvas over the stadium for protection against rain. We'll see for the future and hopefully Stephen Ross keeps to his word!
Are the Dolphin's finally out of their Slump?
Many Dolphin fans are wondering, will it be worth spending
money on a ticket to go see them?
With all the acquisitions that have happened this offseason
with the Dolphins makes us a little suspicious. Questions may concern who will
start at quarterback? What will our record be? How are the new coach and his
staff going to do in their first season?
Well, I’m here to answer that. With all that has been going
on from trading Brandon Marshall, to drafting a “franchise” quarterback, and
signing an old veteran receiver in Chad Ochocinco. Not to mention, we’ll also
be on the CBS show “The Hard Knocks.” So, first things first, the quarterback
situation. I think the Dolphins will most likely enter the season with Matt
Moore starting at quarterback. Why? Because he is what led to our end of the
season success. He certainly won’t be the answer for the future, but he is a
viable option to help out the youngster Tannenhill. From watching the draft in
late April, I think we did a really good job. We FINALLY had a good draft class
that I could look back at and say, “Wow, I can really see that person
benefitting our team.” As for Brandon Marshall, it was time for him to go. He blatantly
said he wanted to be traded if we couldn’t get a better quarterback, meaning “sign
Manning or Flynn or I’m out.” I was actually happy with this. He really didn’t
do much for the Dolphins besides giving Carpenter two pro bowl worthy seasons.
I mean, if you can’t catch a ball, then why are you playing receiver especially
for the money you’re making? As for our record this year, I think it will
surprise most of us, and out of much consideration I’m going to say 6-10. Only
because our defense is so strong and I have a feeling like this west coast
offense is going to work really well. As for signing Chad, people might wonder
why bring in another football Diva? Well to me I liked this signing. Chad might
be aging but he can still play ball. Also, with rookie OTA’s and the receivers
from the draft class not playing up to par mean that we had to bring in
someone. To me, Joe Philbin and Co. will be around for a long time. I honestly
think he is the man to solve the problems of Miami football. So, all in all,
yes I will definitely be attending some games this year, DOLPHIN NATION!
