The #2 Pick

Maybe I am stating the obvious, but while we talk about which player to take at number 2, which right now appears to be Ronnie Brown or Edwards, I dont remember any of us looking into the future. Lets take a look at three things:

1) What do you think our record will be like if we draft either of these players? Meaning, do we have a top 5 pick?

2) How many potential very good or great players are there at the RB position next year.

3) How many potential very good or great players are there at the WR position next year.

These are things that I would think about. That doesnt mean pass up on the better player this year, but just a thought!

i know a lot of people think that if we draft a receiver we should draft braylon edwards but i think if we take a receiver it should be mike williams and heres why. although he is not the fastest guy, his height and size will allow him just to physically dominate the receivers. all the cornerbacks in the league are no taller than 6'0 and they are all designed to cover speedy receivers. if we draft mike williams, we will have a speedy receiver in chambers and a receiever that can just flat out dominate the corners.

IMO....I can't see us taking Mike Williams, we haven't shown any interest in him yet and I don't think we would take a chance on him at #2.

These are very hard questions that only time will reveal. Right now, before the draft, I would be happy to see the fins break .500, but lets break it down...

Atlanta - They will be a tough team next year and will probably make it to the NFC championship game again....LOSS
Buffalo - JP Lose man - Win X 2
Carolina - They will most likely struggle with the roster changes - Close game, but we win.
Denver - THey should be an interesting team to watch - LOSS
KC - Don't know.....could be Surtain's first visit to MIAMI as a chief......LOSS
New England - Not the best in AFC East next year, 1 win, 1 loss
JETS - They are gonna be pretty good, give one to each team. 1 Win, 1 Loss
Tennessee - Don't know about this game...not sure how the titans will be could be a win...but may be a LOSS.
Cleveland - Win...hopefully
New Orleans - Another Win
Raiders - A real test for our revamped defense, I think this will be a LOSS.
Chargers - They are gonna be to dang good.....LOSS
Buccaneers - I will be attending, so they better win....WIN

Projected Record 8-8

i have been a football fan and a dolphins fan for a long time and one thing i learned about the draft is that there is no such thing as a "sure thing"

Yeah, hard to find a sure thing in the draft. I'm sure Cedric Benson will find success in the NFL, but I'm not too sure for how long...

ronnie brown has great potential IMO he is like bo jackson and I dont want to see him on any other team but the dolphins.

mike williams does to

I would rather have mike over braylon, even though i like braylon better, mike is a beast and what he did do at USC was crazy

Until today Ronnie Brows looks like the logical option to Miami, but remember this is a new era to Miami and coach Saban has hidden his moves very well and who knows if he is thinking in the same way like the "genius" that are making a lot of mocks drafts based only if the team has or not a prow bowler player in that or that position. I think that Edwards in WR position could bring an sure impact since the first day but that not means that could be a playoff team this year. Saban knows that this year is a "rebuilding year" in which he must collect the pieces in the correct place to achieve and win the superbowl in 2006. So, i trust in Saban and believe that he will choice thes BPA to the organization.
