I dont know what goes here!

Stat line for 2007 his 2nd season and by far his best season in his 4yr career. Known for his coverage ability he runs a 4.42. The knock on him is he doesnt generate sacks with only 4 in four yrs but is an excellent sideline to sideline tackler with great coverage ability. Plays man to man coverage.  

2007            tackles (95)         sack (1)           passes defensed (11)             interceptions (6)

I know yall are looking for pass rushing OLB's but what do we have left if he cant get to the QB at the NFL level, at least with this guy we have secondary help who can keep up with TE's and RBs out the back field. The guy is 26.

I would love to go into the draft with 3 holes, NT WR and FS

As much as I wanted Eric Berry, I am now sold that Earl Thomas is a better fit for the Dolphins.  Before I start Berry is a great player and Im not taking anything from that. What I did is look at his availability and asked myself what if he's not there and thats when I was sold on Thomas.

Athletically they are both equally impressive, Berry being 4houndreds of a second faster and Thomas out benching Berry by 2 reps maybe stronger.

Both guys are smart ballhawks who make big plays but Berry is a much better tackler, however Berry is a 3yr player and Thomas 2yr. Whose to say given another yr in college he doesnt get better in that department he did bulk up 10lbs just for the combine. 

The thing that sold me on Thomas was the Conference, usually a disadvantage when messing with the SEC. Playing in the PASS happy Big 12 Thomas has to deal with OU, Oklahoma st, Texas Tech, Missouri and his own team in practice. With the front seven shoring up maybe we can live without two run stopping safeties. Maybe having Thomas who is used to extensively roaming the secondary will turn the tide in the one sided war on Miami's secondary.
