I don't have one, but here are some names I have been reading that the Dolphins might select at #25:
Sean Smith, CB, Utah
Derrius Heyward-Bey, WR, Maryland
Larry English, LB/DE, Northern Illinois
Clay Matthews, LB, USC
Hakeem Nicks, WR, North Carolina
The Sean Smith bandwagon is getting crowded. He's a big CB and apparently the best in the draft, and the only reason he isn't being predicted to go higher is because he plays at Utah which has lesser competition. However, he single handedly defeated Alabama's offense in the cotton bowl and made a name for himself. We need a big CB, and have for a long time, but especially now since Goodman signed with Denver.
Heyward-Bey might not be there at #25 because he ran the fastest 40 at the combine (4.3). Although a lot of "experts" think he does not catch the ball naturally which leads to a lot of drops. However, he is a huge target and is also very fast--an unusual combination.
Mike Mayock was on WQAM talking about Larry English and what a beast he is. Don't know much about him because he's from a lesser known college, but his stats and reports look intriguing.
Clay Matthews apparently walked on at USC weighing 186 lbs and has worked himself into a potential 1st round NFL pick. A self-made man: that shows you work ethic and toughness, will probably be an excellent pick for whatever team gets him.
Hakeem Nicks is my favorite WR in the draft. Yes, I think he will be a better receiver than Crabtree, Maclin, Bey, and Harvin (of whom all will likely go before he is drafted). He's huge. He catches EVERYTHING, and he helped NC become a contender in the ACC last season. VERY special receiver. Think Larry Fitzgerald.
I hope a scenario unfolds which allows us to draft Sean Smith at #25 and Nicks at #44. Life would be good.
