 Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl ThomasQuote: Why Texas safety Earl Thomas will be draft No. 12 by the Dolphins 1. His 10 interceptions in two seasons at Texas proves he’s the ball-hawking free safety 2. His 4.37 speed makes him versatile enough to play cornerback in the NFL because he can stick with receivers. 3. Depth at safety is a major issue, and Thomas would immediately have an athleticism edge on Tyrone Culver and Chris Clemons Why Not? 1. At 5-foot-10, 208 pounds, Thomas doesn’t fit the bigger is better size prototype this regime religiously uses. 2. Safeties aren’t premium positions in the draft, which explains why Bill Parcells has never selected a safety in the first round 3. Because he declared for the draft as a redshirted sophomore http://blogs.sun-sentinel.com/sports_fo ... l+Blogs%29 |

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas I've always thought Clemons could fit the bill for Free Safety....we didn't get a great look at him this past season for a few reasons, main one being that Paul Pasqualoni was a terrible coordinator.

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas yeah I'd like to get a better look at both Clemons and Culver, but we definitely need to add some more talent at the position to compete. I don't think there's any chance in this world that this regime takes a safety with the 12th pick though

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas The Phins are having him in for a third visit. It could be a smokescreen but I doubt it.

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas I like Earl a lot too, Hypo.
It just confuses me a little bit as I can't see Parcells drafting a smaller, more finesse type of a player. |

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas Like some of the articles have said before... it's not all Parcells doing the drafting... Ireland is putting his own spin on things here and there.

Re: Why, Why not ... Miami Dolphins select Earl Thomas Covertly, from an alleyway across from Dolphin Stadium...
