The Miami Draft Poll

[EatonFan]

And with the first selection in the draft the Miami Dolphins pick...

[EatonFan]

Please see the discussion phase under the thread "Let's start right now..." where members discussed Miami and their needs and who would be in the poll. This poll will be open for three days and whomever is the leader will be the assumed pick and we'll go onto the next draft team and repeat. Discussion for three days then poll for three days and repeat.

Then we'll get to the Bengals pick at No. 9 just before the draft. It's not perfect, but everyone can participate and put their thoughts in on the various teams.

I think that it's between Matt Ryan and Jake Long....not sure why you didn't consider Ryan in your picks since Parcells will look at this pick as a guy who'll be with the team a decade and will be a team leader that fulfills Parcells' vision of the game.

See the discussion thread. We pretty much ruled him out due to the drafting of Beck last year. Plus Ryan may fall to the top of the 2nd. QB's in this draft are considered weak. Therefore, not worth the #1 overall pick. Not that it couldn't happen, but we felt these were the top 5 likely candidates.

If they do not trade out here, I think they take Chris Long, especially since this year the crop is deeper for O-lin.

I dont think any team can go wrong with drafting Jake Long. I think he is the safest pick in the draft. They should start with Jake Long up front.

Went with Jake Long as well. Need to protect the QB.

I actually voted Dorsey (before his latest injury proclamation), but with his injury situation --- I'm leaning toward Jake Long too with Chris Long in the wings. I'm thinking 80% chance it'll be between those two now...

unless something else occurs (injury issue, poor combine showing, trade, etc.)

I'm a bit surprised no one has Ellis going to Miami.

Hmmm.....

I'm a bit surprised no one has Ellis going to Miami.

Hmmm.....

DLine is a huge crap shoot in the first 10 picks. Kinda like QB or RB. I say go OLine all the way if I'm Miami.

I think they will pick Chris but they should pick Jake

[thunderj4]

i think jake long no one thinks. It will be Sedrick Ellis. Us bengals fans still gotta hope he will fall to us believe.

[cinc4ever1]

I choose Chris Long for the Dolphins,he just seems like the best fit.

[EatonFan]

Looking more like Jake is the pick...

[Pollack99]

that would be a really bad pick, they have a lot of money to spend in free agency, and there is a lot of quality FA OL.
Honestly, does anyone REALLY think Jake Long will be better than Chris Long? There are a lot more quality o lineman avaliable in the second round, there will be plenty of guys like jeff otah, gosder cherilus, sam baker, etc.
After the first round you will be hard pressed to find a true end like Long...
