Would def. be on board with this draft.
Round 1 Pick 8 - Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
Everyone assumes that the Dolphins will sign either Peyton Manning or Matt Flynn. But suppose Manning doesn't want to play in Miami because of how crazy both Stephen Ross and Brandon Marshall are. Manning might sign with the Cardinals. Meanwhile, Flynn could be offended that his former coach went after another quarterback. Or perhaps Joe Philbin doesn't even like Flynn that much.
If the Dolphins whiff on Manning and Flynn, they'll have no choice but to draft Ryan Tannehill at No. 8. Tannehill is a second-round prospect, but like Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder, he has been pushed up into top-10 consideration because of the demand for quarterbacks.
Round 2 Pick 42 - Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
As I often write, teams that spend early selections on quarterbacks often double up with a receiver or a blocker. If the Dolphins don't acquire the Peyton Manning-Reggie Wayne package, they may acquire a No. 2 receiver early in the 2012 NFL Draft.
Round 3 Pick 73 - Orson Charles, TE, Georgia
A weapon for Miami's new quarterback. Anthony Fasano is not a legitimate starting tight end, so the Dolphins need to provide Ryan Tannehill, Peyton Manning or Matt Flynn with a solid intermediate target.
Round 4 Pick 103 - Brandon Mosley, OT, Auburn
Marc Colombo stinks. He can't block anyone. Of the nine sacks the Dolphins surrendered against the Eagles, Colombo was responsible for three of them.
Round 5 Pick 137 - Malik Jackson, DE, Tennessee
Again, the Dolphins are moving to a 4-3. They'll need some interior defensive line help depending on what happens with Kendall Langford and Paul Soliai in free agency.
