Video Feature: Miami Dolphins LB Tim Dobbins

One of the more overlooked draft decisions by the Miami Dolphins last weekend was to acquire Restricted Free Agent linebacker Tim Dobbins from the San Diego Chargers as part of the deal that saw the Dolphins trading down from #12 overall to #28 overall in exchange for the Chargers’ #40 overall pick, where they selected OLB Koa Misi of Utah.

CK’s 2010 Draft Reviews – Miami Dolphins Wrap Up

by Chris Kouffman I find draft grades to be all but meaningless.  They are purely a function of how you rated players prior to the draft, and which teams took your favorite players.  The notion that you could grade a draft after the fact, but within days of the actual event, is kind of absurd.

2010 Draft Spotlight: Earl Thomas – FS – Texas

Earl Thomas is one of the most fascinating prospects in the 2010 NFL Draft. Well recruited out of high school where he excelled at tailback, receiver, returner and in the secondary, his stock has risen quickly since announcing his intentions to go pro as a redshirt sophomore. He started all 26 games at Texas, flipping between free and strong safety, although all 13 of his final season starts came on the strong side.

Alen Dumonjic’s Mock Draft (v1.0) – 18/4/2010

Sam Bradford going number one overall is a given at this point. The Rams need a quarterback, they released Marc Bulger and have very few, if any, quarterbacks that are starting material on their roster. Bradford would help sell some tickets as well as be the face of the franchise.

CK’s Mock Draft v2.0 – 4/6/2010

This is the second of three mock drafts for me. I try to limit myself to just three of them, so as not to keep updating them over and over again every time I get a new idea in my head. If you do about 15 different mock drafts then eventually you get to claim to have been right about everything that does end up happening. I do three, and I intentionally try and do my first one both before the Combine and before free agency.

CK’s Big Board – 4/3/2010

We’re within 3 weeks of the draft and I thought I would update everyone on my Top 25. Things could change, of course, but I feel pretty good about where we are at on the talents in this draft. Without further ado…

2010 Draft Spotlight: DE Derrick Morgan – Georgia Tech

Derrick Morgan is very much an effort player. Unfortunately, he is not the most athletically gifted player in the 2010 Draft Class. That does not mean that Morgan lumbers by any means, he simply will not “wow” you with his athleticism.
