    Tony Sprano surveys the practice field.
    Sparano led the Dolphins to an 11-5 record and an AFC East title in 2008

    In the years following the retirement of franchise patriarch Don Shula, the Dolphins have tried and failed to find a suitable heir, bottoming out under Cam Cameron's 1-15 campaign in 2007. One year, 11 wins and an AFC East title later, the Dolphins appear to have found their man in Tony Sparano. Wingfield: Stability Breeds Consistency 

1. Vontae Davis, Cornerback - Illinois

CB Vontae DavisHeight: 5-115/8  Weight: 203  40-time: 4.40

Positives: Ultra talented. Excellent size, speed, athleticism. Strong and explosive. Physical. Good ball skills. Natural hands. Plays the run well. Gym rat.

Negatives: Consistency. Lapses in concentration. Concerns of attitude, coachability. Same issues as his brother.

Instant Analysis: Davis is expected to compete with veterans Eric Green and Jason Allen for the starting job opposite Will Allen, who is in the final year of his contract. In a division with Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Lee Evans, Wes Welker, Joey Galloway, James Hardy, etc., the Dolphins address an admitted big need created by the departure of Andre' Goodman to Denver.

Bio: Born May 27, 1988. Raised by grandmother Adeline Davis. Brother of 49ers tight end Vernon Davis, who was selected sixth overall in 2006 draft. Played CB and WR at D.C.'s Dunbar High School.
