2008 #1 draft pick will be...

[yavozerb]

As a dolphins fan this is about all I have to look forward to. I think they will draft either for DL or OL , but this is one of many holes on this team. Who do you think or what position would benefit the Dolphins the most?

[Tippecanoe]

just dont draft another ted ginn jr

[scott]

Normally I'd say they don't need an RB and thus can pass on the best player in the draft (McFadden) but after seeing a two back system really work in Minnesota, I say they team DMac with Ronnie Brown. It will make Beck's life easier for forseeable future.

the pats will have a top 5 pick.... so just imagine the pats with a stud running back that they are gonna draft...

[Tippecanoe]

i'd imagine that they'd trade down

They already have a stud running back who never gets any carries because he doesnt need to

[Fillmoe]

they dont have a stud running back.... :lol

[dirk4mvp]

I don't care what kind of position players you need or don't need, how would any team pass up on Darren McFadden?

[Fillmoe]

wasn't the same shit being said about reggie bush a couple years back?

[dirk4mvp]

Bush was destined to flop.

[King]

My guess is a Brian Brohm or Chase Daniel

[BeerIsGood!]

Chase Daniel? #1?


Weak draft for top skill positions, I'd go with DMac

[gmanrulz]

they dont have a stud running back.... :lol

they definitely do

[monosylab1k]

Laurence Maroney is a stud when he's healthy. I'd even say he's a top-5 back in the league when he's healthy. The problem is that he's never healthy.

The Patriots have succeeded without a stud RB before, so as much as I love McFadden I don't know if they should take him. They're so thin at LB that I bet they do indeed trade down. It sucks tho because I would love to see Tomlinson But Better in a Pats uni.

:wtf

Ladanian Tomlinson
Adrian Peterson
Brian Westbrook
Willie Parker
Steven Jackson

They are all unquestionably better.

And then you still have Frank Gore, Clinton Portis, Maurice Jones Drew, Rudi Johnson, Larry Johnson, Joseph Addai, Thomas Jones to argue with.

LT, Peterson, Jackson yes.

Westbrook? He's versatile but is a terrible between the tackles runner.
Willie Parker? Not even close.

Like I said, Laurence Maroney when healthy is as fast & strong a runner as ANYBODY in the league. he has the ability to dominate games with his running ability. he's just never healthy.

[Thunder Dan]

The Pats will draft James Laurinaitis if he comes out, you can bet your bottom dollar on that.

LT, Peterson, Jackson yes.

You have no clue what you are talking about to say that Westbrook is terrible between the tackles. Westbrook has become a very solid back at going between the tackles, and breaks tackles as well as anyone in the league. He may not be quite a strong as Maroney is between the tackles, but Maroney isn't nearly as versatile, and isn't a playmaker like Westbrook. Willie Parker is a monster, and far more versatile and quick than Maroney. About the only thing Maroney is great at is running hard. He's not particularly fast, quick, or a good playmaker. He's like a smaller, less talented Corey Dillon.

[monosylab1k]

What the fuck are you talking about? Have you even seen Maroney play beyond the 3 carries or whatever that he got in last year's AFC championship game? The dude runs a 4.4 forty. He's got speed and power and great hands, he just gets hurt all the time. Seriously, did you just pull that "Maroney isn't fast" bullshit straight out of your ass? There's no basis for that whatsoever.

[Fillmoe]

:lol @ laurence jabroney being called a top 5 back... get the fuck outta here.... if laurence maroney is a top 5 back, get me some motherfucking pads and hand the rock off to me!

And where is your basis for saying that Westbrook is a terrible between the tackles runner and that Parker "isn't even close"???

And my talking about his speed was in comparison to guys like Westbrook and Parker, whom are both faster and quicker backs. They are better recievers. They are better playmakers.

[Fillmoe]

typical bandwagon pats fan.... don't know shit about football, just talking out his ass..... were you a niner fan in the 80s and a cowboy fan in the 90s?

Westbrook works best in open space. Fuck, just look at the most recent Pats-Eagles game where the Patriots stuffed westbrook on damn near every running play in the entire game but every time he caught it in the flats he was able to make a big play.

[johnsmith]

I thought they lost their pick? Do they still get to keep the one they traded for?

[monosylab1k]

yeah they lost their own first rounder, but they get to keep the one they got from SF.

Awesome, so they could potentially go 38-0 over this season and the next.


Fuck, whatever happened to good old parity?

[monosylab1k]

:lol i wish but i doubt it. from what I hear, they aren't going to give Randy Moss the huge contract that he's probably going to want. Looks like they'll let him walk unless he gives them a discount. Same with Asante Samuel. I've heard rumors that Bruschi, Seau, & Vrabel will all retire after the season is over as well.

The Patriots could be a 10-6 or worse team next year. Then again, all that is just rumors.

That was one game. One game does not show everything. There have been plenty of games that he dominated by running through the tackles. If you base your judgment of Westbrook off one game, then you clearly have no idea what you are talking about, and shouldn't even be talking about it in the first place.

It wasn't based off one game. He is not as good of a playmaker and not as versatile as Parker and Westbrook. That is simply obvious. Don't know what you are getting your panties in a wad over.

Your anti-Patriots bias is incredible. They could have Barry Sanders in his prime and you'd say "eh he's overrated".

Maroney isn't even a top 15 back right now. Durability and consistency are what separate the elite backs from the average ones.

Guy has had a knee sprain, torn rib cartilage, a shoulder injury that required surgery and a groin injury in less attempts than most backs have in one year.

China doll.

who has said anything to the contrary?

[peewee's lovechild]

Chris Long should be Miami's pick.

[peewee's lovechild]

Fuck that, I'd rather the Cowboys pick him up.
