Sorry about that.

With the 64th pick in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Miami Dolphins select...
Anthony Collins - OT - Kansas
After the cuts yesterday, the depth chart has Cory Lekkerkerker starting at right tackle... who? Anthony Collins can be an NFL left tackle... letting Vernon Carey move to the right side where he should be. He's only been playing football for 5 years, but he's a big athletic guy that Sparano would love to groom to protect Henne's blind side.

yes/no
Miami's picks:
Chris Long, DE
Chad Henne, QB
Justin King, CB
Anthony Collins, OT
I dunno Kirby, if this were the Dolphins actual draft, I think I'd be a little disappointed. Chris Long is a fine pick. At QB, I think Parcells will bring in a veteran and wait a year to further evaluate Beck. I really don't think they'll take a QB in the first two rounds, unless it's Flacco at the bottom of the second/top of the third. Justin King seems like an uninspired choice, although I agree that DB is a priority towards the top of the draft. Anthony Collins was a good pick. Big 6'6", 310 pound guy who probably ranks higher than some of the other guys taken ahead of him.
I would have liked to see a WR taken in the top 3 rounds, and there's a couple on the board I still I like a lot, including a certain guy from Florida, but you can't get everything you want...
EDIT: nevermind, Caldwell was already taken. I would have taken Manningham or Malcolm Kelly at the top of the 2nd over Chad Henne though. However, I agree that with Hagan and Ginn as our top two receivers, we probably would be better off bringing in a veteran receiver rather than bringing in yet another young guy.

Maybe, maybe not. He only had 8/122 all year and seemed more of a special teamer than a starter. We'll see. Even if Allison does start, that opens up a spot on the special teams for Avery - at least for the time being.
I thought about a d-lineman but there were two things I considered - 1)None of the d-linemen available float my boat for a 3-4 scheme and 2) I think Savage will probably use free agency to fill the position rather than draft it.

So Kiddnets and the Jets are up?

Color me surprised that this trade is allowed in this 3 round draft.
Andy Dufresne
Footballguy
Yes, this trade is outlandish from NFL standpoint. But we're just having fun here and since it's the third round and not the first, I say let it slide.
I personally wouldn't give up that much for a guy with a degenerative knee condition.

It's not like I get to make the picks anyway so mine as well trade them
The trade was made on condition of a physical BTW

When did this trade go down. Does Kiddnets know about it? Or did you make it up on your own.

There are two guys that I think you should take that you might not know about. But I'll wait to see who you take...

Jets Select - Ray Rice, RB
Jets go with the local boy who rewrote the Rutgers record books. Little undersized but for a 3rd rd pick how can you go wrong? TJ is on the downsize and Leon Washington is not an every down back. Jets need playmakers and adding Rice and Swede give them young fresh legs at the skill positions. Little undersized but I think he has a very good NFL career - getting him in the 3rd rd allows the Jets to work him in slowly and letting TJ go next year.

Kansas City selects: Carl Nicks, OT, Nebraska
I wasn't sure who to pick here. OL is obviously the Chefs biggest need, and I am under the assumption that this kid can play Guard. With Brian Waters possibly moving to Center, the Chefs have 2 guard spots to fill. WR was another possibility here, but I assume they will fill this position via Free Agency

Jets are up. They did not take either player I was thinking of with the Ray Rice pick.

To me Ray Rice is a very poor Man's Leon Washington.Team needs Linemen and a pass rusher.Even though I mentioned it, I'm also mixed on Vilma and have some hope that playing next to Harris might help a lot in more of a WSL role.

What? I'm just teasing. Kiddnets wasn't here when you posted it so I had to ask.When did this trade go down. Does Kiddnets know about it? Or did you make it up on your own.

People treat this stuff like their getting paid for it or they're taking it to Vegas or something.There's a lot of feeling getting hurt in this thread.

Jets Select - Chilo Rachel, G
6'6" 330lbs - thats what the Jets need on the OL - While Brick needs a steak - this guy is from a winning program and can hold his own strength wise. I liked both him and Nicks so figured take Rice and pick one of them for the OL. Lots of upside and immediately can step in and help the Jet OL.
Jets are done - summary and debate to follow.

Ray Rice and Leon Washington are not even remotely similar. Ray Rice is more similar to Emmitt Smith than Leon. It may not be where the Jets go, but the comparison is off.
Kiddnets
Footballguy
Vilma is done - he is just not a good 3-4 LB. Harris is now the leader of that defense and Jets dont want a distraction. With his knee injury an early 3rd, 5th and 7th is probably what we are looking at as for his value. As for the draft - I obviously hope we land a pass rusher and OT in FA - with that in mind I think the Jets need young skill players that can keep up DCs at night. Rigth now the Jets lack gamebreakers - Cotch can't score and Washington doesn't get the carries. Sederick Ellis - Help on the DL that can come in and stuff the runLimas Swede - Youth and height - need a big target for KC as he tends to be a little wild. Plax makes Eli look good - this gives us our big target - would fit in nicely with Coles and Cotch - smith is gadget man and a #4 WR at bestRay Rice - I beg to differ - I saw him play week in and out and I think he can take the NFL pounding. He can be an everydown RB. The risk is low since he is in the 3rd rd but why can't he develop into a Tiki Barber type player? Start as a change of pace but take on the main RB role in a yr or 2.Chilo Rachel - Big mauling Guard fills a need at a reasonable price. I would be pretty happy if things broke this way for the Jets - 2 sure starters in Ellis and Rachel; 2 big contributers in Swede and Rice. Shore up the OL/DL and add 2 skill positions which have been ignored in recent draftsLove the debate on this since Jets have so many needs so lets hear it - obviously biggest criticism is no pass rusher but defense came around a bit late and we either sign a FA pass rushr or Assante - either way helps our def.

Glad I hit one of them!Yes! That was one of them. Good stuff.

Doesn't the timer run 10-4 Central Time? It's only 9:10 Central?ETA:

Is Ron Powlus still available?????
This is what was posted yesterday.
If Central time was quoted initially then we should stick to that.

I wouldn't say not remotely similar... Ray Rice himself compares himself to MJD but, admitedly slower. I've seen the Emmit comparisons and I've seen the Curtis Martin comparisons - That tells you the guy has the heart and desire....On this Jets team though I think Leon fills that role.
Kiddnets
Footballguy
Leon fills that role this yera with TJ - but I think TJ is gone after this year and Leon is not an every down RB. Rice is in my opinion. If you can get a guy like rice in the 3rd rd you do it IMO. Thisoffense needs more playmakers. He may not play a ton this year but I would let TJ go or deal him next year and go with Rice/Leon.
Ugh. That was the guy I was trying to trade up for yesterday. Zona must go another direction.

The Green Bay Packers select....
Trevor Laws, DT, Notre Dame
This guy's got Ted Thompson written all over him. A poor man's Sedrick Ellis who actually moved to DE in 2007 and registered a ridiculous 112 tackles.....8 were for a loss, and 4 were sacks. He's a non-stop motor guy who constantly penetrates the line to make plays. His only drawback is his height from what I can tell. Laws was a beast at the Senior Bowl and will fit into Green Bay's front 4 rotation immediately. Corey who?
I freaking love this guy.
