AFC East pre-combine Moctacular
by Tim Graham

Since I'm on my way to Indianapolis to spend five days at the NFL scouting combine, I thought it would be a good time to check what the mocksters are thinking about the AFC East.

This will be the last round of projections before the players get jabbed with sticks, scouts fall in love with sleepers, a blue-chipper or two slips and everybody begins to second guess their research.

In a pre-combine AFC East mock roundup, we get the latest forecasts from ESPN's Mel Kiper Insider and Todd McShay Insider, Sports Illustrated's Don Banks, NFL.com analyst Bucky Brooks, FanHouse.com editor Chris Burke, Richard Lines of UniversalDraft.com, Rob Rang and Chad Reuter at CBSSports.com and Buffalo News reporter Allen Wilson.

No. 12 Miami Dolphins

* Kiper's pick: Rolando McClain, Alabama inside linebacker
* McShay's pick: Rolando McClain, Alabama inside linebacker
* Banks' pick: Rolando McClain, Alabama inside linebacker
* Brooks' pick: Sergio Kindle, Texas outside linebacker
* Burke's pick: Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State receiver
* Lines' pick: Derrick Morgan, Georgia tech defensive end
* Rang's pick: Dez Bryant, Oklahoma State receiver
* Reuter's pick: Dan Williams, Tennessee defensive tackle
* Wilson's pick: Rolando McClain, Alabama inside linebacker

I won't expect one to be taken until the 5th or later.

Then you will be shocked when they take one in the 2nd or 3rd.

But will you be shocked if they don't?

Parcells has a penchant for finding good nose tackles in the later rounds.

I keep hearing this. Jay Ratliff and Jason Ferguson...is that all?

Those are his most productive NT's.. yes. And they were both found in the 7th.
