ON THE CLOCK-MIAMI DOLPHINS


Dr. Donovan

With the 25th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select……………

The Miami Dolphins were one of the toasts of the NFL last year going from worst to first after installing a successful college offensive strategy for their own and acquring former NY Jets QB Chad Pennington. The Wildcat offense, run by RB Ronnie Brown and a host of others, took form when they slaughtered the New England Patriots in week 3. The Dolphins have had a successful off-seaon thus far resigning OT Vernon Carey, LB Channing Crowder and SS Yeremiah Bell. They also picked up former Arizona Cardinal CB Eric Green.

The Dolphins could still use some help on the defensive side of the ball. You may see Miami go after another CB by drafting CB Darius Butler from Uconn, who is steadily rising up the draft boards or CB DJ Moore from Vandy. You could also see them go after a DE and draft DE Robert Ayers from Tennessee. I like the Dolphins to take a strong look at DE Larry English from Northern Illinois or DE Paul Kruger from Utah. If they decide to go offensive, you may see WR Percy Harvin to help compliment Teddy Ginn. Harvin has been the fastest riser on the board after his pro-day and may not be there.

It was a miracle season for the Dolphins after acquiring QB Chad Pennington and the Wildcat offense but if you know one thing about the NFL, it doesn’t take teams long to catch up with new schemes. In fact, I will bet we see 2 or 3 other teams using this offense at some point in the season in 09. This year we will see if the Dolphins are pretenders or contenders. My vote: Pretenders!
