2011 NFL Mock Draft Gabe Carimi the Answer for Miami Dolphins

The entire mock season has been a tumultuous one for the Miami Dolphins as nobody knows which way Tony Sparano will go or which way is the right way—quarterback, running back, offensive line or defense.

Most still believe that Chad Henne deserves one more shot, which I agree with.

Most still believe that Mark Ingram would be the perfect fit in Miami, but that the Dolphins can find a starting running back in the third round, which I also agree with.

The Dolphins already boast a dominating offensive line with Jake Long, but Miami can solidify their line and their offense by selecting Gabe Carimi.

He is my No. 1 offensive tackle and the clear-cut No. 1 run-blocker. With Carimi and Long, the Dolphins will have a destructive force on the offensive line that could pave the way for just about any running back in the league. The improved rushing attack will assist Henne and the passing game. With one swift move, the Dolphins would be on the right track to a winning season.
