2011 NFL Draft: Day 2 for the Miami Dolphins.

Michael Heck Apr 29, 2011

It's going to be very difficult to see the Miami Dolphins move into the round unless they really feel they need a player on the board. 

If Ireland does, what do they trade? Obviously, it would have to be next year's picks. And that would be a nightmare for the Dolphins. 

While the Patriots have already collected ANOTHER 1st round pick in the 2012 draft, the Dolphins are treading water with one pick in the first two rounds. The Patriots got their targeted guy in Nate Solder, called it a day and received a first round pick for it.

Meanwhile Brandon Marshall, this year's second round pick, is recovering from a stab wound, as he was attacked by his wife. 

Unless the Dolphins love Ryan Mallett, Andy Dalton or a running back, the Dolphins' camp will be stunningly mute for the 2nd round. 

Unfortunately, this is where a lot of the talent (for the value of the pick) lies. 

Do you see where I'm headed here? 

This draft will be a famine draft for the Dolphins. They can't do much about it unless they trade the future. 

Considering the Dolphins love to draft to create competition, we can expect another guard or center in the 3rd or 4th round. It's just the way of Ireland. So, we have a good idea of what's coming today. Just take a look at which lineman are left on the board when the Dolphins pick. 

I have always liked this approach. It's pretty solid. Everyone knows the Dolphins need a certain level of depth and youth in between the tackles. 

I'm still holding out for Ireland to realize that Casey Matthews can be their guy in the third or fourth. Bill Parcell's likes him. I really like him. It's a good investment. 

We know Ireland's approach is going to be safe today. I hope it translates to a competitive team on the field.
