Anyone notice how good it was? They know where the games are won - on the lines. Merling, Hampton, Long are all going to be sick.

If they are going to be playing the 3-4, then they did get two vrey good 3-4 DEs. They also drafted Dale Murphy's kid who might be able to start at G for them in a year or two.
There is an NFL section to this site.
Nice picks. I'll let you know how good they are when we play the Dolphins this year.
Same to you, my friend. But you can't be a little worried about the potential. Miami isn't going to be pushovers. Might still be top 10 worst teams without a QB, but if Henne produces and so does Merling and Long, how much better are the Dolphins?Originally Posted by The Spaz
They can't go anywhere but up. I think we both improved. Let's hope that both teams knock off the patriots sooner rather than latter.
I loved the fins draft.
Merling both DB and I had ranked very high, a guy id have not been dissapointed with at 12. That kid has got a lot of potential. Long was the best pick they could have made #1.
Henne was a nice pickup as well.
Parcells and company did thier thing, brought a lot of good line talent in. If either Beck or Henne pan out they did very well for themselves.
I like the first 2 CB's the Bills got, they got a great one with their first and great value with their other. I wasn't thrilled with this class of WR's, so who knows what will happen with them. Still a decent draft for the Bills.
Miami did well for themselves, imo.
A good start on the rebuilding. Very good.
Great Dolphins draft overall, wasn't a fan of the RB out of Toledo they took but its hard to argue with Bill Parcells.
COMING SOON...
IMO, Ellis will be a better player than Merling. Ellis has more explosiveness to his game and can make plays. Merling is a nice, stay at home DE.
I disagree. Dont get me wrong I like Ellis and think he will do well.
But Merling I think will end up being a better DE then Harvey.
Personally I think Henne sucks. First two picks were solid though.
A lot of teams had him high on their boards, and I doubt he would have made it out of the 2nd round. 4 year starter, the winningest QB in Michigan history. He also played injured most of last year, so he's tough too. Played for a big time school that plays in a big time conference that's seen it's share of talent come and go. Won his Bowl game against a very talented Florida team. Smart, strong armed, It's hard to argue against all of that. Of course that's no guarantee for success in the NFL, but at least he's battle tested against some serious talent. I like the pick, I like the value we got at 57 and I like the fact that Miami has some competition at the QB position going into camp.
can't knock their draft. It was a really good one.

I'll say by November Beck will be holding the clipboard for Henne.
Merling is going to be a solid DE, but I don't expect him ever to be as good as Jason Taylor in his prime.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
I definitely think Miami did good for themselves... of course picking in the spots they did and with as many picks as they had, it was hard not to. Parcells will definitely help get them turned around and I'm sure they'll improve by several games this year, but I think they'll still be last in the division.
I think you're gonna find out real soon why Beck was drafted so high. I think Beck is the smartest QB we have, the hardest working and I don't think there's a player on our team that wants to win more then him. I think Miami has put themselves in a real good position with the addition of Henne to be able to get some great competition out of the QB psoition and at least find a strater that can have success in this league. I think we have a good chance of being a team with a "good problem" at the QB position. I also think the Oline imporvements will make a huge difference no matter who our QB is.
You have to understand what Beck was facing whan he started last year. He had to play the Stellers in Pittsburgh, the Eagles in Philadelphia and the Bills in Buffalo. All three games on the raod all three games in bad weather and all three games without the help of Ronnie Brown or Chris Chambers. The simle fact that he was a rookie was a big enough problem, but add the fact that Miami had so many injuries and the games John had to start his career off with. It's not hard to see why he struggled. Afterall the Dolphins had not even given him the practivce sanps till week 11 cause he had Green and Lemon in front of him.
I'm just telling you what he faced in his first games as a pro.
Dick can't afford to snooze. I don't think the fins will take long to be competitive.
