miami dolphins NFL draft
Miami sits with the first overall pick in the draft and all signs points to boosting their offense. Hey everyone this is Dana Ward with our Miami Dolphins NFL Draft Coverage on GamblersTelevision.com. The Miami Dolphins sit with the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft following their dismal1-15 2007 campaign. General Manager Bill Parcells has many holes to fill this off-season on offense and it may begin with the Quarterback position. Miami has made quarterback blunders the past two season’s choosing in 2006 to sign free agent Dante Culpepper over Drew Brees and bringing in Trent Green in 2007 under center rather than drafting Brady Quinn from Notre Dame. The Dolphins brass could draft quarterback Matt Ryan first out of Boston College this time around. Parcells used free agency to build on defense so it’s up to the draft to build up the O in Miami. Miami has been discussing contract with Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long as a possible 1st round pick as they could draft Michigan quarterback Chad Henne with the first pick in the second round. Long allowed just 2 sacks in his four-year career at Michigan. It wouldn’t be a surprise for Miami to pass on a quarterback in the first round because this draft is a very weak one at the quarterback position. The Dolphins may be better served drafting a QB later in the draft and beefing up their offensive line to help protection and help create running lanes for their running backs. Miami will also attract the top undrafted free agent quarterbacks into camp since the position is up for grabs. Taking the best offensive lineman in the draft, as #1 would be a step in the right direction because there really is no standout quarterback this year. Gamblers Television projects the Miami Dolphins will draft Michigan offensive lineman Jake Long #1.
