NFL Draft Live Thread: Day 2

Today we continue rounds 3-7 in the draft. In case you were not around yesterday, and haven't had a chance to check who our new Baby Phins are, Miami drafted Vontae Davis, Pat White, and Sean Smith yesterday.

Today, Miami enters the day with the following 7 picks:
23rd pick in the 3rd rd, 87th Overall
8th pick in the 4th rd, 108th Overall
25th pick in the 5th rd, 161st Overall
29th pick in the 5th rd, 165th Overall
8th pick in the 6th rd, 181st Overall
5th pick in the 7th rd, 214th Overall
28th pick in the 7th rd, 237th Overall

Lets Hope they make the best of it!

Again, like yesterday, I encourage you to drop by and give you opinions about the draft. I'm checking on an often basis, and will respond to any of your comments. Updates will come as the draft goes on and Miami makes their picks, similar to yesterday's style.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With the 87th Pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Patrick Turner, WR, USC. There were other receiver options I liked more, and other options in general that I feel were better. This, I think, was not a good pick.

With the 108th pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Brian Hartline, WR, Ohio St. Looks like Miami is addressing the need positions quite heavily. The positive to this is that you can only miss so much, so maybe they can hit on atleast one of these guys and find a number 1 receiver as a late round gem.

With the 161st pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select John Nalbone, TE, Monmouth. Good pick here. The kid's measurables rank amongst the top tight ends in the draft, and may be a real sleeper at the position. Considering Miami has 2 of their 3 TE's as free agents next offseason, this is a great pick.

With the 165th pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Chris Clemons, S, Clemson. I like this pick as well. I think he would have gone earlier, and he provides not only someone to learn from our good safeties, but someone to spell them and as depth at the position in case one of them gets injured.

With the 181st pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select Andrew Gardner, OT, Georgia Tech. Not a horrible pick. Provides the depth needed at tackle and considering that GT runs the option, he must be mobile enough to play the position.

With the 214th pick in the NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select J.D. Folsom, OLB, Weber State. This pick addresses the OLB position, although not with an elite pass rusher as everyone expect before the draft.

The Dolphins trade their 237th pick to the Kansas City Chiefs. KC will give the Dolphins "consideration" in next years draft.
