Jake Long: Miami Dolphins 1st Round Pick Meets The Media
2008-04-29 20:19:00 I'm still uploading videos from the NFL Draft. For more, visit my YouTube channel Zennie62 and our NFL Draft blog. Here we see Michigan offensive tackle Jake Long get selected "number one" by the Miami Dolphins, then meet the media in the Interview Room downstairs. This is more of a kind of behind the scenes video for those who've never seen the process with the media. I also included his Mom holding up his Dolphins "Number One" jersey.

NFL Draft Nuggets: Chad Johnson, Miami Dolphins, Bucs Draft Philosophy
2008-04-23 04:08:00 With the first pick in the 2008 NFL Draft.. The Miami Dolphins select, Offensive Tackle Jake Long, from the University of Michigan. Yes, its only tuesday and the first Draft Pick has been signed, sealed, and delivered. I hate the early Draft signings, I really do. Talk about a buzz kill. How Goodell even lets it happen is beyond me. At any rate, good luck to the Dolphins. SBNation is 1 for 1 so far with the NFL Mock Draft. Not bad, not bad.. The St. Louis Rams are now on the clock! Marvin Lewis and the Bengals have it out for WR Chad Johnson (with good reason imo). The Redskins offered their '08 1st Round Draft Pick (No.21) and a potential '09 1st Round Draft Pick for WR Chad Johnson and got DENIED. The '09 1st Round Draft pick hinged on Ocho Cinco's ability to reach certain production plateaus. I have a feeling Chad Johnson won't see the field this season. Marvin Lewis seems crazy-stubborn-scorned enough to let that happen. Two 1st Round Draft Picks for Chad got denied, w...

The Phinsider Community Mock Draft: Pick #1 - Miami Dolphins
2008-03-13 22:35:00 Well I posed the question to everyone in the community and it seems as though there is enough interest in doing a community mock draft. So here's how it will work. Every weekday, I will post a thread on the main page about whichever team is up to pick. I'll recap the picks up to this point and then post a scouting report or two from a draft website about what that team's needs happen to be. Then I'll attach a poll which asks you all who you think the pick will be. You'll then have to the deadline I give you to vote on the pick. And we'll continue on until we are done with the first round, which will likely be the day before the NFL Draft. We'll then see how accurate we have been. So I figured I'd get this thing rolling now. First up, the Miami Dolphins. Seeing as how this is a Dolphins website so most (if not all) visitors are Dolphin fans, I don't think I really need to post our draft needs. This is also the onl...

In The Red Zone: Patriots News and Notes
2008-03-06 18:00:00 According to Christopher Gasper of the Boston Globe, New England Patriots veteran wide receiver Troy Brown hasn’t made a decision yet about next season and that fans shouldn’t count out a return in 2008 quite just yet. A source close to Brown also said that a decision probably isn’t coming anytime soon either. “He feels great. He feels he can still play and still contribute,” said the source. “Obviously, he would have liked to have played more than that one game he played. I don’t think he’s decided whether he’s playing or not playing. A lot depends on what the Patriots do.” The source also said that either a Patriot return or retiring are not Brown’s only options. Brown would be willing to play elsewhere if there was no room for him here. It sure would be weird seeing Troy in a Dolphins, Jets or Browns uniform. In other Patriots news the team is looking at restricted free agent LB Adam Seward from Carolina Panthers...

The Chicago Bears traded QB Brian Griese to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers it will be his second go around with John Gruden’s team.

The New York Giants signed S Sammy Knight no terms were released. Two days ago it was reported that the Miami Dolphins had signed Calvin Pace but something must have fallen apart somewhere and now the New York Jets signed LB Calvin Pace to a 6-year $42 million contract with $22 million in guarantees and RT Damien Woody, a former Patriot, to a 5-year $25.5 million contract with $11 million guaranteed.

Keyshawn Johnson Coming To The Miami Dolphins? Terrell Owens Wins.
2008-02-15 23:24:00 I’m a little late on this story, but I got such a kick out of it that I just HAD to post this. So Keyshawn Johnson is apparently mulling over a possible return to the NFL to play for the Miami Dolphins. Having his close buddy Bill Parcell’s running the show in South Beach has made his return to the game a little bit more enticing. All of this makes me think back to December, when Terrell Owens and Keyshawn got into it and T.O. pulled Keyshawn’s ho card: “I’m probably the reason he’s in the booth now. He’s going to be a hater and throw me under the bus because he has to defend Bill. He won a Super Bowl and all, but you’d have to check the roster to know he was even on the team. “We came out in the same year. He was a first-rounder and I was a third. Go compare our stats. He couldn’t come down here now and be a third or fourth receiver on this team. Just compare our stats.” Terrell called Keyshawn’s skills and career into question, an...

Miami Dolphins Mock Drafts Around the Net
2008-01-30 06:05:00 It's that time again...time to take a few minutes and go around the internet and see what's being said about our Miami Dolphins and their #1 pick. This was a popular feature last year, so hopefully you'll enjoy it this year as well. Let's get to it. -NFL Draft Countdown: Chris Long Odds are Bill Parcells will try to trade down but the question is will anyone want to move up? Not only would it be costly in terms of draft picks but then they will have to worry about negotiating a huge, #1 overall pick contract as well. If they stay put the Dolphins will likely be zeroing in on three players: Chris Long, Glenn Dorsey and Jake Long. Knowing Parcells the smart money is certainly on defense and in a photo finish Howie's boy gets the nod. Not only is Long a perfect fit for Miami's 3-4 scheme but he also brings the type of intensity and non-stop motor that "The Tuna" covets. -Footballs Future: Glenn Dorsey The Phins need playmakers. Dorsey is an anchor on the defensive...

NFL Draft Strategy: The Miami Dolphins
2008-01-24 08:12:00 To keep up with my writing quota during the NFL off-season, I?ll be taking a team-by-team look at draft day strategy. I?ll follow it up with my NFL mock draft about two weeks before the draft. (I understand that we're not in the off-season yet, but I can't stand the bye week...especially when the Patriots are involved)For the next couple of months, just consider me the Mel Kiper Jr. of Bleacher Report?complete with fantastic hair and an undeserved sense of self appreciation.Since the Dolphins have been on the clock since mid-October, we?ll start with them.Outside of running-back, the Dolphins are a team in need of a complete roster overhaul. They?re either old, thin, or empty at every position. The smart move would be to trade out of the number one overall pick and try to get as many first day picks as possible.If they stick with the first overall pick (which they probably will, as there might be a fan revolt in Miami if they suffered through Cam Cameron and aren?t rewarded with t...
