Fins to take a look at former Patriot LB Adalius Thomas?

While the Dolphins lost out on Jason Taylor, as he left to go to the Jets, they may have a former Patriot coming to the team, as the Miami Herald reports the team could look at just released LB Adalius Thomas. Adalius Thomas may want bigtime dollars now that he’s on the market, and that [...]

Dolphins Take Chris McCoy and Austin Spitler In 7th Round

The Dolphins had no 6th round pick, after making moves with all three of them previously. But they certainly did have a 7th round pick, two of them in fact. With the two picks, the Dolphins selected two linebackers, Chris McCoy, and Austin Spitler. McCoy has more potential, and all around better upside than Spitler, [...]

Dolphins Take Nolan Carroll, Reshad Jones In 5th Round

After trading back into the 5th round,  the Dolphins selected safety Rashed Jones. Jones is versatile, and can play both free and strong safety. General manager Jeff Ireland said today in his Day 3 wrapup press conference that they will try Jones out at free safety first, but I think that at some point down [...]

Dolphins To Move Randy Starks To Nose Tackle

General manager Jeff Ireland announced in his press conference tonight that defensive end Randy Starks will be the new starting nose tackle for the Dolphins this year. “We’ve played Starks there last season a little bit.

Dolphins Select Guard John Jerry In 3rd Round

The Dolphins have been the team shocking their fans the most this weekend, again proving the mock drafters wrong, and taking guard John Jerry in the 3rd round. Jerry is an absolute mauler, standing at 6’5, and weighing in at 328 lbs. Jerry specializes against the run. Jerry has only played on the right side [...]

Koa Misi Dolphins Man In 2nd Round

With the 40th pick in the draft, during the 2nd round, the Dolphins took outside linebacker Koa Misi. Misi has a lot of upside, and will be known in the league as a pass rusher, but will most likely never become an elite rusher. He is only average in the run game, but uses his [...]

Dolphins Select Jared Odrick In First Round

After some major drama when the Dolphins were on the clock when they still possessed the #12 overall pick, the Dolphins got themselves back into the 2nd round, by trading back into the 1st round, with the San Diego Chargers. The Dolphins acquired the 28th, and the 40th picks, and swapped their 4th and 6th [...]
