40 @ 4.40 | Once considered a unanimous top ten pick, Davis has seen his stock fall due to concerns over his lack of heart. However if the regime feels they can motivate him, don’t be surprised if he is the pick. Davis is an excellent all around player whether it’s in coverage, blitzing, or tackling, he can do it all. He’s also only 20, a bit of juvenile behavior might be expected. But he also has room to improve. youtube Last mock: Larry English, OLB, N Illinois | 3/13

40 @ 4.85 | Johnson is a great athlete, and looks to be a great 3-4 OLB if his talent can match up to his press clippings. They certainly need someone to start opposite Joey Porter and eventually replace him. Who I’d take-Johnson I reckon, unless I think a guy like Hakeem Nicks for Kenny Britt is worth the pick.

Harvin has great speed, to be sure, but what makes him really stand out is his uncanny knack for not only running great routes but also in getting open. While I could see the Dolphins trading down here in Bill Parcells expert draft style, if Miami has the chance to draft Harvin here that could be a great move for a team that already has an emerging star with Ted Ginn, Jr. Last Mock: no change | 3/17

40 @ 4.67 | Dolphins need a corner, but they also really need an outside LB. Everywhere Bill Parcells has been he has built his defenses on standout LBs. Joey Porter’s play really trailed off at the end of last season, and he may be nearing the end of his great career. On the other side, Matt Roth is improving, but he is certainly not above an upgrade. Matthews has seen his stock rise perhaps more than any other prospect, and his motor that never quits running. He’s a hard worker that should excel as a rush linebacker in the 3-4, especiallysince he spent some time at DE at USC. 44. MIA — DJ Moore, CB, Vanderbilt, 5089 192, 4.58 – Miami is likely to take a linebacker and a corner with their first two picks. Moore is dropping because of his size and his 40, but there is no denying his ability to play corner. He was a big part of Vandy’s bowl win and the Dolphins need a corner now that Andre Goodman is gone. Previous pick: Sean Smith 56. MIA — Pat White, ATH, West Virginia, 6000 197, 4.50 — Pat White would be awesome in the wildcat formation. Finally a team could have a legitimate threat of passing from that set. And, if Chad Henne doesn’t eventually pan out, he could become the QB. Plus, he gives the Dolphins another option at WR. Maybe my favorite pick of the draft. | 3/24

40 @ 4.67 | The biggest need for the Dolphins is at WR, and the obvious pick here is Darius Heyward-Bey or Hakeem Nicks. However, knowing who is drafting for a team is as important as identifying a need, and with that being said I cannot see the Big Tuna (Parcells) taking a WR with his # 1 pick. Rather, I see Parcells going with a player more in his mold, which fits Clay Matthews to a tee. Matthews, although an initial walk-on, should not be misconstrued as an overachiever. He proved he was good enough by playing for a USC team stacked with 1st round LB’s and also showed his merit by blowing away scouts at the Combine. Coming from a family with deep blood lines in the NFL, Matthews is the essence of a ‘football player’. He is a true “system” player and will only fit well in the 3-4. For the Fins I could see him pushing Matt Roth for time and ultimately being a replacement or a starter opposite Joey Porter. For their 3-4 Matthews holds a lot of value here. Another option here is Darius Butler at CB, James Laurinitus at ILB or Hakeem Nicks at WR. But at the end of the day, Matthews feels like the best pick for Parcells and the Fins.

40 @ 4.75 | With ILB Akin Ayodele being more of a backup than a starter, the Dolphins will like to make an upgrade at the position. Maualuga is Bill Parcells' type of player. More of a playmaker than an athlete and blessed with superior ballhawk skills, the ex USC great is in the same mold as another former Dolphin, Zack Thomas. Will manage the inside for a decade. 44. MIA: Jamon Meredith, OL, South Carolina
Despite drafting Jake Long, Miami has the need for another OL outside. Meredith's agility will be a perfect complement to Long's power. 56. MIA: Dannell Ellerbe, ILB, Georgia
Ellerbe has some character concern that overshadowed his impressive post season numbers. This is not a need area with Maualuga on board, but Ellerbe's talent level maybe too tempting to pass on. Last Mock: Percy Harvin, WR, Florida. | 3/26

40 @ 4.67 | When it comes right down to it wide receiver is probably the Dolphins #1 need but you know Bill Parcells isn’t taking one in the first round. With that being the case The Tuna sets his sights on the defense, where Miami has holes to fill at both outside linebacker and cornerback. When doing mock drafts it’s important to look at a decision makers history and it’s no secret that Parcells loves linebackers and has used first round picks on them everywhere he has been. Joey Porter just had the best season of his career but he isn’t getting any younger and they could certainly do Clay Matthews | Southern Cal Trojans better than Matt Roth on the other side. There will likely be a number of good 3-4 linebacker prospects for the Dolphins to choose from here but Clay Matthews appears to be a perfect fit. A self-made player who went from a walk-on / special teamer at Southern Cal to a probable first round pick, Matthews is exactly the type of intense, hard working, gritty football player that Parcells covets. The Dolphins also need a corner since Andre Goodman bolted as a free agent and Will Allen is due to hit the open market next offseason but there should be value in round two.

| 25. The Dolphins are trying to find that perfect OLB to team up with Joey Porter. With Matthews and Sintim off the board, they get English by default. The Dolphins could also look at a cornerback with four guys still competing for the 3rd spot (Darius Butler, D.J. Moore, Alphonso Smith, Sean Smith), but because of that depth, one of them should be available at their 44th pick. English had 30 plus career sacks at Northern Illinois so the Dolphins hoping he can be the ideal pass rusher. 44. Miami Dolphins - D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt
The Dolphins solidified their safety position this offseason, but lost CB Andre Goodman. 56. Miami Dolphins - Brian Robiskie, WR, Ohio State
Davone Bess was the #2 WR on the team at the end of the year. That is all I need to say. I am not saying Bess isn't good, I just think the Dolphins could improve its WR corps. Robiskie joins his old college teammate Ted Ginn. 87. Miami Dolphins - Victor Harris, CB, Virginia Tech

40 @ 4.45 | Can anyone name a few receivers on this team? They ran the Wildcat because no one on the roster can catch a pass down the field. Davonne Bess was a great bargain and caught 54 passes as an undrafted rookie. His average reception went for 10.3 yards. It was actually considered a loss when Greg Camarillo went down with an injury, missing the final push to the playoffs. His average reception went for 11.1 yards. Big play anyone? DHB brings speed like last year's leading receiver Ted Ginn Jr. who is still developing. There were certainly times Heyward-Bey disappeared, but whenever the ball came in his direction he got down the field. Miami will get him into space and make use of his talent.. 44. Miami Dolphins (via WAS) - Connor Barwin, DE/OLB, Cincinnati
There is talk of Barwin sneaking into the first round. I think people got a little bit too excited about his showing at the combine. He is definitely a great athlete, but it might be more impressive that he played basketball in the Big East as opposed to multiple positions in football. That being said he is definitely the type of hard working versatile player Bill Parcells likes to draft. If he can help out at tight end on a trick play all the better. 56. Miami Dolphins - Coye Francies, CB, San Jose State

40 @ 4.45 | Let’s be real for a second the Dolphins are going to be a running team and Parcells does not draft WR’s too often but after running a 4.30 40-yard dash at the combine DHB should be exactly what the Dolphins are looking for. He is kind of the same player Ginn is but DHB will add depth to the WR corp and allow for some more vertical passing routes to be called (If Pennington can get the ball there). This looks like a good pick on paper and I am sticking with it for now but something about the Tuna leads me to think he will trade this pick or select Larry English.

40 @ 4.67 | I'll admit it - this is the first year in a while where I'm completely stumped on what the Dolphins will do with their first round pick. It's that wide open - and Bill Parcells never lets any info leak out. Theoretically, they could go with a LB, WR, or CB at this spot. So why do I have them taking Matthews now? He has the bloodlines that Bill Parcells likes. And he's very versatile. He could probably play outside in Miami's 3-4 or even battle to take Akin Ayodele's starting spot inside next to Channing Crowder. And drafting Matthews really makes Miami's linebackers more flexible in terms of who is on the field in different situations. As much as I'd like to see a corner taken here, I think the safe bet is on a linebacker - with a WR like Brian Robiskie on Miami's radar in round 2. Last Mock: Larry English, OLB, N Illinois | 3/20

40 @ 4.68 | The Dolphins will be looking to add a pass-rusher on their defense opposite Joey Porter. Matt Roth is OK, but let's not get carried away here. He has mediocre athleticism and he does not strike fear into the hearts of opposing offensive tackles. Sintim played in the 3-4 defense at Virginia, and Bill Parcells knows Al Groh from their coaching days. This seems like the perfect fit. Problem is I said the exact same thing last year with Chris Long and the No. 1 pick. 44.Miami Dolphins: Ron Brace, DT, Boston College
Jason Ferguson is getting up there in years and Miami might be targeting a replacement at nose tackle. 56. Miami Dolphins - Juaquin Iglesias, WR, Oklahoma
After addressing defense with their first two picks, the Dolphins still get a good value on a playmaking receiver in Iglesias Last Mock: Clay Matthews, OLB, USC. | 3/26

40 @ 4.68 | The Dolphins shocked many as they ascended to the top of the AFC East in 2008. They have done a great job of utilizing their draft picks in the rebuilding process, and I expect nothing but the same in the 2009 NFL Draft. The Dolphins flirted with the idea of selecting DE Chris Long a year ago before deciding on offensive tackle Jake Long, and they also were highly interested in DE Calvin Pace before he signed with division rival the New York Jets. The Dolphins want a counterpart at the outside linebacker position for Joey Porter who had a season of resurrection in 2008. Clint Sintim has a ton of experience in the 3-4 defensive scheme while playing for Al Groh at the University of Virginia and we all know about the connections that Bill Parcells and Al Groh have, so I think the Dolphins would love to see Clint Sintim sitting here for them and select him with the 25th overall selection in the 2009 NFL Draft.. 44. Miami Dolphins - D.J. Moore, CB, Vanderbilt
The Dolphins continue to overhaul their defense, and add a playmaking defensive back here at the 44th overall pick. D.J. Moore did not work out as well as expected, but when you go back to the game film it is clear to see that he is a playmaker and a football player. He actually saw action on the offensive side of the football and possesses an amazing nose for the football. 56. Miami Dolphins - Andre Brown, RB, NC State
The Miami Dolphins turned the NFL on its ear with their “wildcat” formation a year ago, but they have to develop a more consistent rushing attack if they are to take it to the next level. Ronnie Brown is a stud, but Ricky Williams may not be coming back so the Dolphins need to get another back to compliment with Ronnie Brown, and Andre Brown may just be that complimentarily back.
