So is spending a top-10 pick on an injured kick returner.

lol... this is Parcells though, so you can't really make the correlation.

Maybe... Here's the youtube I just loaded. The video quality sucks because I am useless when it comes to making these things, but I figured you guys might want to see it.

I don't know about that. I can see Dorsey fitting in the 3-4 as a nose tackle.

A reporter called him out on it and said "Defense?? Did you say Defense??" He turned beat red and said "...or Offense." (DOH!!)

They have already admitted to be in negotiations with Long and Gholtson, so this is not news.

yea, JAKE long, whos an OT....

this is REALLY interesting....i think its either gonna be gholston they go after, or dorsey, b/c i just cant believe that that was NOT a genuine mistake...

but if they do pick one of those two, especially dorsey, we called it here more then a week ahead of time

Could just be a vertical concrete contraption to hold up the roof that they're going to draft. I can see it now. "With the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select... a pillar".

Thanks! I'm with you, that looked like a genuine goof. (Though I've always thought Dorsey was the best pick for them, so I'm biased!)
