This will undoubtedly change some between now and draft day with all that goes on, but nonetheless...
It seems to me there is no clear number one. If I am the Dolphins I am probably stuck with the overall pick. Probably media pressured to consider Matt Ryan considering John Beck hasn't impressed much.
Yet, staring you in the face are McFadden, Dorsey, Long and others that would be attractive additions as well and arguably less of a gamble.
Kiper rates him similarly to Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger and Philip Rivers. Assuming he is deserving of such a rating...do you burn a #1 on him?
Will be interesting to see what Tuna the Master of Puppets does.
Personally, I avoid him with the #1 overall if I am Miami. |
