Former Miami Dolphin Jim Mandich analyzes the Miami DolphinsA' ...

This is one of the real great times of the year. We have been doing our homework and the draft is coming right at us.

It's unfortunate but, I can't help but think that those So. Cal backers are juicers. I don't want anything to do with ANY of them. I hope I'm wrong.

Ronnie Brown gave us the resurrection we had last year and someone wants to trade him for Anquan Boldin one of the biggest crybabies in the history of football? Don't get me wrong I admire his talent but contrary to popular belief we are not hurting on receiver. Look at the overall statistics, our receivers were not bad for the job they needed to do. And we don't need a toxin in our locker room. And after picking up Cameron Wake, and having Joey Porter and possibly getting Jason Taylor especially with the defensive line we've put together if we draft a linebacker we're in some serious trouble. Have you looked at the metrics for the secondary we've concocted? I mean really, how many deep balls we're we hoping to give up like every 3rd play? Our defense will be against Tom Brady with Randy Moss and Trent Edwards with Terrell Owens and the answer for this is to draft another linebacker? A pass rush gets you far, but you can't blitz every down and get away with it. Welker will eat us for breakfast and still have room to eat more. Against NO do you think that the O-line will crumble enough every time that Drew Breeze wont get the ball out to his receivers? There's a reason Eric Green got fired, a reason that Gibril Wilson got let go, a reason that we gave up the worst numbers in the NFL on Average Yards per Reception last season. Our secondary just got worse, please don't draft anything but Vontae Davis or Malcolm Jenkins or Sean Smith. One of these guys WILL be available

Raven coach Camron just came in the room, I just want to say that Teddy " don't hit me " Ginn is a Miami Dolphin. LOL..........What a Jackass. And here's coach Saban with his #1 pick, Jason " if I only had a brain " Allen. Thank you Sir Saban the turd.

The Dolphins will hopefully draft a big wide reciever and dump Tiny Ted

[DolfanKevin]

The receivers coach should try to slim down Joey Haynos to see if he can pick up some speed. At 6'8" he would be great in the middle of the secondary.

[michael]

I wouldnt be surprise if they trade down maybe out of the first round

[rswgoforit]

I hope for Clay Matthews (the one who should be HOF'ed with his brother Bruce) and the that it still runs in the family with the Clay Matthews coming up. None of them looked pretty, but they can fight and make plays. That's what counts.

Most NFL atheletes juice, or take HGH at some point. You think it's normal to be that big and muscular, or they have extremely good genetics. I would say both

[ocala rob]

depending on the talent available at the 25th pick in the draft and considering the lack of depth at corner and wr i would think if either davis, bey or nicks is available at that point one of them will be a phin were solid at LB

[JoeBrown]

Always a pleasure to hear/see what the Mad Dog has to say regarding the Dolphins. The man knows his Dolphins and is entertaining and informative as well as a link to the perfect season.

[ocala rob]

with our current core of lb's, the addition of wake and taylor looming there should be no chance of lb with the 25th pick

[ocala rob]

that and we are a joke

[ebone]

nomuzlimprez can suck a fat one... keep your political banter where it belongs. UP YOUR A S S!!!

STFU in tucson!!! This is the MIAMI DOLPHINS we are talking here... something you have no business commenting on.

[waterboy]

Mr Maddog,

How do you make those steaks taste so good down at Ziggy's / Maddogs ?

bring the whole Matthews clan on down

Go Fins !!!!

[ocala rob]

All you haters need to leave. Either you post dreams and false hopes like us fans or you tell the truth like Pennington sucks.

No room for political BS.

[slip]

my book has clay matthews going 46th overall. and mandich says we take him in the 1st round

[Fan]

How about Jim Mandich for Monday Night Football to replace John Madden?

[marinofan13]

WR? All of the top 5 receivers in this year's draft have question marks whether it be work ethic, consistency, system receiver, or injury prone. Plus, there is much depth at WR in this draft. We don't need one at pick #25; draft one later.

OLB? I'd be happy here with James Laurinitis, but he's an ILB. Methinks Clay Mathews is a product of being surrounded by so much talent, such is the case in Baltimore Raven-land too often. Hey, we've got Cameron Wake now to augment Joey Porter.

CB? HANDS DOWN, IT'S THE PRIORITY HERE. Malcolm Jenkins is off the board by the time we pick, guaranteed. We want size, speed, play-making ability, a tackler, a heavy-hitter, a great special-teamer, and an ace at man-to-man coverage. There's a 75% chance this guy is there when we pick @#25... VONTAE DAVIS, CB, Illinois.

[ocala rob]

i agree with marinofan 13 V DAVIS comments # 15 and #18 were not done by ocala rob get your own handle maybe goofball would be good for you
