How do you feel about the new FO's Draft?

I can live with the Jake Long pick, it stings a little less each and every day.

I think the Merling and Langford picks were great. Langford has the bulk to play end and Merling will get a chance to play on the outside in JT's role at some point. I wonder if JT is still on the block or if they intend to keep him until the trade deadline. I don't buy into the spin coming from Miami HQ about Taylor not being shopped, both the player and the team are trying to save face after the potential trades fell through.

The Henne pick still doesn't sit well with me. I know that Miami couldn't pass up 1st round value at that spot, but taking BPA at that point wasn't a good idea IMO. On a team with so many holes to fill, why take a QB so high before we know what we have in Beck?
Murphy is solid and could battle for a starting job if he can develop quickly, we still have a LG spot that needs to be filled. Unless of course Miami moves Smiley to LG and Mormino/Murphy to RG to avoid 2 young inexperienced players on Beck's (Yes, I said Beck's) blindside.

Lex Hilliard is an intriguing pick, a Grizz fan I know from another board seems really high on the kid. After reading up on him, I'm pretty jazzed too. He's an excellent blocker and one tough SOB. I wonder how much time Mauia has left.

Don't know much about the rest, but would have prefered to keep Booker. He was fun to watch late last year in the passing game. So Parcells and Co. did exactly what they said they were going to do, build from the inside out. Our OL is stronger and so is the DL, gotta love it.

First impression after the draft is that this draft was rated a B. Could have been a B+ or higher if we actually used the Henne pick on someone else.

Short answer to that question is because we DON'T KNOW what we have in Beck. Also, we only had McCown on the roster. We needed a third QB anyway. And why not a young guy who could turn out to be a very good QB in this league.

We made no sexy picks and I'm glad. The 2008 NFL Draft will forever be know as the "Year of the Big Uglies" and I love it.
