Hey Dolphins fans, it's your turn to vote! I'm running an interactive mock draft with the fan forums of all NFL teams. The fans get to vote and make the pick for their respective team. So far the fans have voted: Carolina - Fairley Denver - Dareus Buffalo - Newton Cincinnati - Green Arizona - Bowers Cleveland - Peterson San Francisco - Von Miller Tennessee - Blaine Gabbert Cowboys - Prince Amukamara Redskins - Julio Jones Texans - Robert Quinn Vikings - Ryan Mallett Lions - Tyron Smith Rams - Aldon Smith Dolphins - ??? You can vote for the player you want the Dolphins to select here: Football Draft Notebook - Interactive Mock Also, if you write a short 3-sentence description as to why this player should be drafted in this thread, I will pick out the best write-up and post it in the mock draft section along with your name! *Finally, Lions fans hold the record with 121 votes. Can you Dolphins fans beat that? ***Also for mods, I hope you don't see this as spam. I am just trying to get the right fans to vote for their team, so we get the right mock draft. If you have any problems, please let me know.
This got posted, nice. Well im going to let it run overnight. So far Mark Ingram leads the voting, feel free to cast your vote in the poll!
Trading down and getting Hankerson (1st) and Devine (2nd) wasn't listed DFlo...Everything else is just worthless groupthink from pre-draft mocks. BTW- Is it too late to trademark suckmymock.com?
We couldn't beat the Lions during the regular season, so why should we start now. lol. **** Mark Ingram. I actually like Ingram, but I hate that we have so few quality options at #15. Tell the Redskins that we'll reacquire Jason Taylor to trade with them to move up to the 10 spot.

The Results are now posted, you can view who the Dolphins chose on the Draft Results tab at the top of the page in the link.
How are you going to run it so quickly? No time to vote? I'll be so sick if we draft Ingram. Its the laziest mock pick ever. Fins need an RB... Ingram is the best RB... done. But he is NOT what we need. We need SPEED at the position. A slow plodding RB that can get 4ypc is exactly what we've had for a while... and it doesnt do much for you. You need the ability to make big plays. We can get the slow plodding RB for 4ypc in the later rounds...
In a mock where trading down is not an option and with the players already taken, I think Ingram was the obvious and correct choice. He was the BPA at a position of need. I generally hate taking an RB early but it also doesn't make sense to take a lesser player at less impactful position. And reality is that we need both a power back and a speed back so I expect that we'll use at least two picks on backs and that we'll bring in a FA back as well hoping that at least two will be keepers.
Ingram would be a perfect pick for an NFL team 10 years ago. Today? Not so much. 4 Yards and a cloud of dust football will get us to 6-10 if we're lucky. With Bill Parcells gone I hope his outdated philosophies on the game went with him.
I don't agree that Emmitt Smith would be a bad pick in today's NFL. ES was never track fast but he had a knack for not getting caught from behind. That is what I see in Ingram, he plays faster. It's the opposite of what we had in Brown who had pretty impressive track speed but seemed to always be caught from behind. I also think that even if Ingram turned out to be unable to break away, we need that anyways. When I think cloud of dust football, I think Hilliard. I don't see anyway that Ingram is just Hilliard. I think Ingram's bottom potential 4 yards and a cloud of dust with a fair amount of 10 yard runs thrown in. And I think that he's a pretty good receiving option.
Well the NFL would have to change pretty drastically for Emmit Smith to ever be a bad pick. Not sure if Ingram can be Emmit Smith, but if he can I'd get over being upset with him being the pick pretty quickly. Don't disagree with you at all about our needs. Just not thrilled with the idea of using a first round pick on a RB. It's hard for me to imagine a good RB turning our offense around, but maybe Ingram is better than I'm giving him credit for.
The poll was up for two days, it just took a while for the post to get approved by a Moderator. But usually the polls are up for 24 hours and we do one team each day.
