Here is a question for you all,

The Dolphins have two older OLBs in Porter and Taylor,
Isn't Parcells "the man that loves LBs" going to be in the same market drafting LBs?

He'll be picking the same type of player, Something to consider??

Absolutely something to consider. But he only gets to pick once at 12 and once around 43, and he has a lot of other needs to address. Miami needs a playmaking WR like nobody's business. Jason Ferguson is 36, and a 3-4 DT is a priority. Their OLB's are old. They need help at ILB.

I could see them taking an OLB at 12, but right now I think they would go for Rolando McClain or Dez Bryant if either were available. Dan Williams could be an option at 12 if he climbs, or at 43 if he slides.

Could BP take Dunlap, JPP, Griffen, Kindle, Hughes, Sapp, Norwood, Graham, Hardy or Lane sometime in the 1st 2 rounds? Absolutely. But I'm guessing he takes at most 1 OLB candidate.

Absolutely. Ryan may be looking for similar players as well. And BB won't be able to fake Ryan into taking a Vernon Gholston like he did with Mangini.

BB and Reese (assuming he's sticking around) will definitely have to be on their toes for this one. Select your targets carefully and use your ammo judiciously.

Ryan could, but he has other more pressing needs - a WR, a 2nd CB, a NT given Jenkins' age and injuries. And they'll be picking at the end of the 1st and 2nd rounds, and have no 3rd round pick to trade up.

By all means, select your targets carefully. But we're very well positioned.

The Patriots should plant a spy in Miami's front office. This way

they would know what linebackers to draft.

That's easy, send Rex Ryan a box of free hotdogs. The key is to put the hidden cam in the box rather in a hotdog, you wouldn't want it to get eaten.

That's easy. They'll draft Rolando McClain if he lasts that long, same as we would do.

Who they like at 43 is a whole different question.

Oddly enough, reading this post and having a Marx Bros. movie going in the background I didn't feel any disassociation...

So to get McClain we would have to move to 11, how many draft picks would that take?

Ochmed Jones

If you want to find the OLB's in this draft that have the best chance to succeed in the NFL, you need to scan through the scouts write ups and find the guys with the following words in the review:

1.) SUDDEN
2.) Explosive
3.) Great first step
Guys with words like this are what BB needs. Otherwise all we get are younger versions of Derrick Burgess.
