Depth Chart

Seems like everyone else is doign these so I figured I'd build one and see how our team is shaping up so far. There's still June 1 cuts and in case nobody heard the news, Marcus Vick and Manny Wright have been cut. That leads me to believe that Ricky Williams will be gone since the team has gotten rid of just about every problem player we've had from the Nick Saban era.

I would be ecstatic if all of our draft picks made the team.

[Athrun340]

hmm what if mormino turns out to be a pretty good lineman? a ready to start player .. do you think hadnot will be the starter at right guard?

Early indication from the local papers is that Hadnot will be the center while Satele gets starting experience at OG.

As for all of our draft picks making the team. I think it's more then possible. Those are the 1st hand picked players our coaching staff brought in and Cam Cameron said we'd see alot of draft picks and UDFA's on the roster. I mean I had trouble just trying to get the roster all the way to 53. There's not really alot of depth. The toughest cuts were guys like Jesse Chatman and Michael Lehan so it's not a stretch to think they could keep all the draft picks

I also have to say. I love the added youth and talent all over the roster. We have been very old all over the field the past couple of year and this year it looks like we have alot of young talent like Ginn, Hagan, Booker, Brown, Beck, Carey, Hadnot, Satele, Toledo, Alabi, and Mauia to build around. Keeping adding to that over the next two years of drafting and we could have a very nice offense in the upcoming future.

The Defensive starters are all older but we got guys like Evans, Soliai, Roth, Allen, Crowder to bring in some youth at a few spots and we can keep bringing in more youth in the future through the draft there. If any of our low round picks (Rodrique Wright, Abraham Wright, Kelvin Smith, Kevin Vickerson) pan out then we could have a nice young little group on defense to add to and build around with our Pro Bowl vets for the future.

the starting NT could be the rotation of Traylor/Evans/Soliai. sounds good to me.

Good stuff there man! The only problem there I see is Shelton is already cemented in as our starting RG pretty much. He showed last year the potential to be great at that position so I think Alabi will get the call at RT. That team doesn't look too bad if I must say so myself.

Cam Cameron said at the press conference during the draft that Carey will move to LT and Shelton will move to RT. Go read the local papers. They've all reported on how Shelton is moving to RT.

Really? That's disappointing. Bad move by the phins. He is a first round bust at OT. He was showing Pro Bowl potential at OG though. UGH! I'm officially disgusted now.

I wouldnt called his proformance at RG Pro Bowl potential but he did play well there. I don't mind moving him to RT tho. Carey, Satele, Hadnot and Toledo all seems like solid players from left to right along the line and should be a solid starting group. Shelton would be a one year stop gap for Alabi or until we can draft another good RT for next season.

[Grizzlegom]

i dont mind shelton there because he always had great run blocking skills and average pass blocking skills. he should be fine and if he struggles at all we can put peele over there with him.

im more upset about hadnot staying at center despite the fact that he is a better guard than center and satele is a better center than guard.

[draftguru151]

I have a feeling this won't be the same offensive line unit at the end that we will start with.

[Grig]

Yeah, I really don't see Hadnot staying at center. Someone else mentioned it somewhere, but his line calls are apparently borderline incompetent.

What about Satele? Any idea how he handles the mental aspect of the center position?

[draftguru151]

Chris Liwienski, Joe Toledo, Dan Stevenson and rookies Samson Satele and Drew Mormino are competing for the guard spots, but the Dolphins will consider moving center Rex Hadnot back to guard if Satele excels at center.

So Rex still might be moving to RG. I think that would be the smarter decision if Satele could handle it.

[Finsfan79]

I like Rex at guard and have been clamoring for it into last season. I dont think he calls out the line formations very well but he is a mean brusing blocker with the run and would love to see him next to carey to open a path.

[supermario86]

I love Ted Gin

honestly i think the dolphins are preparing to not have trent green. Cleo is gonna get his shot. i'm excited!!!! really

r either of those tight ends any good?

Wow, that LB unit looks like the best in the NFL. I think Cam Cameron's play calling might bring the Dolphins an extra win next season and I am not kidding, the Dolphins to me are underrated.

This team is only missing a good OL and DBs. Hopes to you guys that Jason Allen works out.

[ANBC]

With Anderson signed, is he now the starting TE?

[draftguru151]

No, Martin was brought in to start. He is a guy Cameron wanted, Cam had nothing to do with the Anderson signing.

[draftguru151]

It looks like the starting OL for the game against Jackonville will be Carey, Mormino, Satele, Hadnot, Alabi. Hadnot's back in the line up after being benched for the beginning of camp. I'm glad Alabi is getting the chance to start because I really like him, really smart guy, only guy to get a 100 on the playbook test.

[joercky]

Makes no sense that Allen isn't starting at corner or FS. Thanks for wasting a 1st rounder Nick and then bailing out.
