Hakeem after all???

My computer died on me about a week ago. Very, very painful with about 2 weeks before draft day. Anyway, I'm on borrowed time right now at the library sooooo.....

I was watching the ESPN mock draft on the tube yesterday and they had both V.Davis and D.Butler off the board by 25. So who did the Dolphin's representative pick............Hakeem Nicks. Who is my favorite receiver in this years draft. He is also finsxfactors favorite as well. Now everybody who has any idea of who I am knows that I have been preaching 2 corners in the first four picks and have been a staunch Darius Butler supporter....but.......... and that's like a J-Lo butt..........

if both Davis and Butler are gone.....do we go with need or talent?? or both? would the trifecta actually spend it's first pick on a wide receiver?? Like many folks on this blog would like him too? My answer is yes. I know our very own "eye the sky" would like to see Larry English (who by the way is my favoriteLB in the draft) but I dunno.....what do you guys think. Do you think that Parcells will pull the trigger on a "fancy" pick like Hakeem Nicks?? Obviously,my feelings wouldn't be hurt if any of these or any of the other great picks that some of you guys want were actually chosen.....but a new wideout would be fun?? ESPN??? Oh....the only player I don't think has a chance to make into a Dolphins Uni is...........................Kenny Britt :)

Trade talk...anyone, anyone, Bueller?

I've been spending some time listening to archived radio interviews over at WQAM and Andy Cohen mentioned a few things on 2/11 that I would like to get someone else's feedback on. He believes, like I do, that we need some playmakers this year as opposed to solid position players. In particular, wide receiver first (which he mentioned attaning through FA or trade[see below]) and linebacker second, which I also agree with. Many of you feel that we could use a playmaker at CB which I again agree with as well. Anyway, I was over at PhinPhanatic today and Brian mentioned a certain receiver named Anquan Boldin as rumored to be an interest of our favorite football team. I checked back on the comment I made on GP's "Grove Puzzle" post (which no one replied to, obviously, or I wouldn't be bringing it up and oh yeah, thanks for the support by the way) about the link to FinsHeaven that allowed us to read the entire post from PhinfanBo1. In that post he says to look for a Samson Satele trade which interested me because as soon as we signed a starting C and another inside lineman I thought about the possibility of shopping Satele (I believe he is still a starting center in another system).

So with all that being said, would any of you trade Satele (or anyone else) and picks or just picks to get Boldin? Then go after playmaker at LB or CB after that? Humor me, please.
