I don't think the phins are taking RB, WR, or QB... probably OL or defense.

Did I miss when Ronnie Brown became the second coming? I mean sure he's good, but top 5? No way. You're going to put up yards when you're the only legit offensive weapon on your team.

Uh, no? Ronnie was facing 11 man fronts this year behind Miami's blocking and was still averaging 5.1 YPC while also being downright lethal catching the ball. He was All-Pro until he got injured.

He was facing 11 man fronts? So, opponents weren't defending against anyone else on the Dolphins? I'm not saying he wasn't very good by the way.

Exaggeration, but the combo of Booker, Ginn and whatever the hell they have at TE meant that Brown was the Lone Ranger on that offense.

You couldn't be more wrong. Go to youtube and type in Ronnie Brown. They have videos of him vs. the Raiders and Jets, watch those games and you too will think he is top 5.

Yeah, Bears and Bucs got shafted that draft.

It HAS to be defense or trade down. The offensive line has actully been by far the best unit on the football team this year, Rex Hadnot, Vernon Carey and Samson Satele is a damn good core up front. We are so desperate for help on the defensive line, it isn't even funny. I'd expect at least 3 maybe 4 new DLmen next year and it seems the Dolphins have permantley gone back to the 4-3, I've seen a 3-4 on literally about 10 plays this year.

Glenn Dorsey or trade out is my plan as of now. We're hoping to possibly swap picks with Atlanta in trade for DeAngello Hall with some more later picks coming our way then we could take a Calais Campbell or Kenny Phillips.

2nd scenario would be to trade down with Dallas and take nearly their entire draft.

Do you guys think the Patriots would take McFadden if was available if they got a high enough pick from San Fran even though they have Maroney?

It really depends on what happens to Maroney the rest of this season. If McFadden is on the board when the Patriots pick, I give up, it's already hard enough and that would just seem unfair. So based off that I think you can tell that my answer is yes, they would take him.

With that said, he won't be there when they pick, he's going top 3 and the Niners (Or you guys I guess) aren't picking top 3.
