Live blogging starts right now ...
....The Dolphins are on the clock.
For today, I say a WR, RB, NT, G/RT, and maybe a trade here and there.
Fact is the Dolphins and Detroit have made a trade, swapping picks in the third round.
The Dolphins move from 64 to 66 and pick up Detroit's sixth round pick, which is 176 overall.
Weeeee....

OK, when does today's Jason Taylor rumor start?
Mandito,
I not watching in on tv, keep me posted!!!
Who do thiNK they are taking here??
I think Dt Patrck Sims DT or Dan Conner LB
Sims makes sense. Manningham a possibility. Vinson the CB?
Greco the OL ...
Tavares Gooden from THE U!
The Dolphins need a RB but obviously not enough to stay ahead of the Lions and take Kevin Smith who visited the club as he's from Miami and was in with the locals.
Honestly, I don't see Manningham even being a target for this regime.
Finsfan, I will do my best. Thanks for being here.
Please not Manningham.. unless we're trying to go to the Rose Bowl.
So much for Greco.
Greco just went to the Rams. This totally ruins the Dolphins draft.
Kidding.
But he is a good player.
I think you can grab CB Vinson in the 4th round. How bout Early Doucet WR LSU?
Godfrey, Simms, Doucet
where else can we go?
we get an extra 6th...that helps.
Dolphins pick DE Kendall Langford from Hampton. As you all know, Bill Parcells has a history of taking pass rushers from obscure schools.
what happened to our pick????
Kendall Langford?..Mando..know anything about him?
Another DL?
Looks like another year of MUERTOS in the secondary...god damn
Mando, I'm blogging from Nicaragua with a group of Dolfans, thanks for your awesome coverage.
When do we get some receivers? Any names?
YESSSSSSSSSSSS Kendall Langford. He is onr of the players, I told you bout GREAT PICK!!!
Mando what you think
dont you know the DL makes the secondary better? Giants had NOBODY (not that we are winning any SuperBowls soon)
By the way, one person in the media room just asked me if this pick means JT more likely to go now.
I don't think so.
But if I'm Matt Roth, I'm updating my resume because he's outta here.
Stat from NFL.com on Langford
234 running plays against him gained only 63 yards. I know about dominating, but geez!!!
Ricardo: Bienvenidos!
This s a steal in this draft!!! Dnt be surprised if Landford beats out merling for a starting spot. Thats how good this kid is!!
Parcell is GOD
Langford just said UVA, Virg. Tech were recruiting him before he failed to qualify on the SATs. That's why he ended up at Hampton.
Langford seems like a good pick. I think we need to trade back into the third round though, pick up a corner, or Manningham. I like the kid a lot and Henne would already have a target he's comfortable with (given he has a chance to start). Good draft so far, keep up the good work!
Langford said he compares his game to Richard Seymour.
Don't you get 200 points for signing your names on the SAT's?
Hey Mando.. Thanks for the live blogs and all your insight. I still say that you're the Howard Stern of S. Florida. People who like you want to see what you're going to say next, and people who don't like you want to see what you have to say next. I'm just glad you're not as risque as HS.
FinfanNGA
Patriots trade their pick to the Chargers. and the Chargers pick Jacob Hester, the fB from LSU.
That seals it. Chargers in Super Bowl.
The Pats have three 3rd round picks -- trade JT for all of them and I'd be happy.
Armando what are your thoughts on drsfting a guard for the OL? What round do you forsee it happening?
will they trade roth or just cut him.
I do believe that is the first time I've ever been compared to Howard Stern. Hopefully the last.
But I understand your analogy. Thanks. I think.
Oh well. I guess JT stays unless that is a trade for a 3rd this year and a conditional 3rd next year. We'll see what happens.
Roth clearly is not suited well-suited for a 3-4 scheme. Last season, he didn't really hold the point and he doesn't translate to an OLB.
what about groves an jacksonvilles 3rd pick miami was high on him rite?
Any word on a possible JT trade?
Hi Armando - would it be a possibility that T and Shockey are swaped - even with a pick involved?
that good enough for jt
Armando, where do you see Gooden going? Could he come back to us in the 4th?
The Ravens just picked Tavares Gooden. They LOVED him so that makes sense.
He can run.
Ever notice there are some teams that are all over UM? Giants, Arizona, Ravens just love Miami players. Buffalo, too.
Ravens just took Gooden from UM
i see him going 71 ;)
mando,
what do you think about arrington (wr, michigan) with our 4th round pick? he´s much better than manningham, it would be a steal.
Should we take Jacky Claude (guard FSU) in the 6th or 7th round if he's there Armando?
By the way, breakfast here at Dolphins camp was AWFUL.
Fruit, juice, stale bagels ... I had slice of canteloupe and watermelon with a water.
I'm an egg man myself.
But it was free. So life is good.
Mando - Are you a Pre-Op tranny?
Penn State ILB Dan Connor to the Panthers. I think that is a fine pick.
Dolphins had him in for a visit, but were wary of his character -- the guy actually made harrassing phone calls to a fellow student in 2006.
guess he never hear of *67
Mando,
Do you know about Chad Henne at all? I not much of a Michigan fan, so I haven't really seen him play. Just seems like anyone would be better than the other two QBs currently on the roster. BTW.. The Howard Stern comment was meant to be a compliment..with a little humor thrown in. I read your column all the time!!
FinfanNGA
Hey Scummy, I'm at Dolphins camp right now. Why don't you come over and ask me that question you loser.
LOL yeah you would think... was it a female student he was harrassing? lmao tooo funny
Mando - I wish I could. I moved from Fort Lauderdale about a year ago. I used to work for the Dolphins. I know all about the stale bagels. You are a pansy
Mando, got something against pre-op trannies?
what's up with JT. looks like they are going to hold on to him...
Mando,
I think Miami's next pick will be a corner or Wide receiver. Early doucet is still out there!!!
Bengals just took SIMS.... thats a good pick for them... they need all the D-line help they can get
Scummy: If you worked for the Dolphins you had your shot at me and didn't take it. Who's the pansy?
Armando
What are the fins RB options in later rounds? Mike Hart (another Michigan guy! yikes)
I thought Simms was a TE!?!
ok the only thing I don't understand is why we have decided to beef up our d-line when experts were talking about this not being a great draft on defensive ends? And they took Sims who I loved for our 3-4
The Sims pick hurts.
Hey Mando,
What are the chances of Philly trading for JT? Maybe involving Lito and a pick or two, don't think it'd be a bad idea
I see JT's last possibility of being traded is definitely Saints, for Shockey and a pick
however I think hes staying with us, so I feel bad for the man
Next pick's got to be a CB but is there any quality ones left?
This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.
in the late rounds we can get a few local kids if we think they are goood enough.. Chad Simpson (RB) Richard Clebert (DL) Jacky Claude (OL)
Jack Del Rio was just on ESPN and was asked about Jason Taylor and a possible trade.
His response: “We took a good look at that. We talked to them about him. It wasn’t a fit for our two teams. Obviously they felt good about the player and they’re going to keep him.”
So is Lehan gonna end up starting at CB?
Ughhhhh.
Randy Moss = 25 TDS
mando hasn't figured out yet that the bible is a book written by simple corrupt people for the sole purpose of manipulating the masses. It's true historical content is feeble and severely distorted. aside from that, there isn't a single person who completely and truly adheres to their religion, they pick and chooses which rule they want to follow and when. the joke is on them.
what about olb's are we just sticking to Porter and JT...any youth??
Sky, you are the victim of deception.
When did this become a religious debate? and why are people talking about trannies and pansies? keep it to football people and go get a life
Aaron - NJ
Armando can u fill me in a lil more on Merling and Langford??
Mando, love you on 790. What you think about taking Tom Zbikowski with the 4th round pick? Hard nosed, Parcells guy I think.
Mando,
Mando, Carl Nicks OL is still out there. I think he would b a steal in the forth round. I think parcells is going to draft at least two more offensive lineman.
Mando what running bcks are still out there??? Other then Hart
Mando - Do you think it is more likely that we hold off and trade JT in October to a contender? Probably better value at that time
NOOOOOOOO, there goes Early Doucet!!!!! Dammmmm
Armando, there was something to the talk yesterday of JT being moved, obviously. As much as you were dismissing it on your blog The Sun-Sentinel and QAM is handing you your lunch on the Fins beat. Time to move Darlington up!
Hercules Satele should be drafting only because it would give us both brothers. Still waiting for Tom Zbikowski.
Tashard Choice from Ga. Tech is still on the board as a RB... Otherwise, not too many RB rated as 4th rounders.
i would love to see a taylor for lito or shockey deal. Fins next pick will be an offensive guard.
Matt Roth and Booker?...we are dumping some pretty early draft picks. Roth had a lot of hype before last season
why is everyone getting on mando for a rumor that didnt happen? jt is still here not on the bucs, the way i see it the sentinel looks stupid for reporting it
If the Sun-Sentinel and WQAM are killing me, why are you HERE and why are listening to me on 790 The Ticket?
If they are handing me my lunch -- which would be nice now because I'm hungry -- why am I the only person who wrote this sentence last week:
"The Dolphins say they are not going to trade Jason Taylor."
I love JT, don't get me wrong, he's played his heart out for us and has been the face of our franchise for quite some time now...but recently I find myself almost pulling for him to get traded..i dunno..is it just me?
Aaron - NJ
When are The Dolphins going to Look at CORNER-Backs?????
Armando, that last post by you is what I call an argument-ender.
Checkmate.
anyone can fill me in on our two DE picks? im not very familiar with them
thanks
Zbkowski or whatever is a Safety, no?
Aren't the greater needs at CB, OG, RB, LB?
Armando, with Taylor unlikely to play after this season, won't it become even more difficult to trade JT in-season?
Early Doucet goes to the Cards. Wish he had fallen to the fourth round.
He doesn't have all the measurables, but he plays well. And, I think, that is the point. I take players over athletes any day.
are we gona get a TE in this draft?
What is the deal with the guy we got from Dallas?
Sergio, ever here of Google? Do a web search and figure it out instead of waiting for someone else to do it for you.
WNC: the Dolphins don't have to wait until an in-season situation. There are also a post-draft trade and training camp trade possible.
But folks ...
At what point are we going to believe what Bill Parcells said?
CAN I PLEASE GET AN UPDATE AS TO WHEN THE PHINS PICK AGAIN AND HOW LONG IT WILL BE TILL THAT PICK AND ALSO MABE A SHORT LIST OF POSSIBLE PLAYERS??? SORRY I DONT HAVE A TV WHERE IAM AT, THNX
Bathroom break for me. Be back in a minute.
Discuss among yourselves.
I could but I am here, crazy I thought I was with ppl that knew something about the draft, if you dont want to answer, just dont
Mando;
We have six picks in round six/seven. What is likelihood of those late rounders contributing. Any chance we can get a 4th for Roth?
Safety would be a luxury right now. And we need an OG like really bad. And an ILB because frankly Crowder doesn't have the look of a Parcells player. We could trade him to New England, but he probably isn't sure what language they speak
Rd 4 - 115
Rd 6 - 176
Rd 6 - 195
Rd 6 - 204
Rd 7 - 207
Rd 7 - 245
Parcells is getting BIG Guys that do IT His WAY....
why are ignoring our horrible, let me repeat that, horrible secondary?
Mando,
Justice King CB IS STILL THERE. Cousins is still out there OT.
Phillip Wheeler LB is stil out there. These are guys the fins can grab at pick 4h round 114.
Armando...thought the Dolphins should have taken Dan Connor/Early Doucet/ or possibly Justin King with pick 66..what are your thoughts?
Another way of asking the same question I just asked is:
The Patriots are stocking up on 3rd round picks. The Phins on 6th round picks. Which strategy will better serve each teams long term needs?
Steve, from what I understand, Parcells seems to think one way to fix the secondary is to get great pressure on the QB up front. With two DE's taken to date, I see a CB later. I bet we go OG or LB next.
Armando, you are promoting the decay of the English language. It amazes me how a 'professional' writer can get away with such frequent and egregious errors, such as this following post you made earlier:
"and why are listening to me on 790 The Ticket?"
I'd rather see you write in correct Spanish if you are better at that than to recklessly abuse the English language.
While preachers preach of evil fates
Teachers teach that knowledge waits
Can lead to hundred-dollar plates
Goodness hides behind its gates
But even the president of the United States
Sometimes must have
To stand naked.
Not to make excuses, but I'm typing one post after another. It's not like I'm composing here.
So as to the English language, get off my freakin' butt, OK?
If you want award-winning prose, you will not find it here.
Just one word for Robert Zimmerman:
Huh?
Armando, isn't it nice to be so loveable?
Armando...you can`t please every-one...Thanks for all your posts on any Fins info...
Wow, could you imagine if Justin King were still available for the Dolphins in the 4th?
By the way: ESPN did this expert roundtable asking the question:
Who is under more pressure, John Beck or Aaron Rodgers?
Guess someone other than myself sees that the drafting of Henne puts Beck behind an Earth-sized 8-ball.
Mando,
Whats the scoop, what nunber is the draft at right now. Who do you think the fins take in the 4th round???
Hey Zimmerman,
Armando is too dumb to understand poetry.
I didn't ask for award winning prose, only that you respect the most basic and fundamental responsibilities of being a journalist. Apparently you have a reading and comprehension problem as well.
finfan:
We are at No. 92 in the third round.
And dude, anyone who says they know who the Dolphins are going to take in the fourth round is lying.
Justin King in the 4th if he's there. Secondary help is the number one concern.
By the way, Zbikowski did go to Baltimore in the third round.
go here and see all the picks as they get picked
http://www.nfl.com/draft/tracker
Mando,
Any chance Parcells takes Mario Manningham if he continues to slide? Or do his character and off the field issues completely rule him out? It'd be pretty wild to have Long blocking for Henne who throws it to Manningham. Again.
~Johan
Since Armando can't understand poetry, I'll break down Bobby's lines.
The capitalist society we live in is run by evil people. However, this is because capitalism was designed for the evil purpose of keeping people as wage slaves.
The system and those at the top corrupt everyone, preachers, teachers, etc.
However, every now and again the people can see through the charade, and see the system for what it is, evil, something created by the devil.
To all the anonymous critics of literature:
I would say BITE ME, but I don't know if I'm allowed to say BITE ME on here. So I guess I'll only think about responding in that fashion.
Mando, I think Beck still starts this season. If he is respectable and can keep Henne on the bech for a couple years, I think we will have a good problem on our hands.
I love it when Mr. Anonymous gets to be hyper critical about someone they don't know. In fact, why are you wasting time here rading a blog of someone who you obviuosly hate? You need a hug
I have to say the Langford pick had to be an Ireland pick or somebody screwed up the draft card. No way is parcells stupid enough to make that pick there when we need DT so badly. Langford wasnt even projected to be drafted until 4th or 5th round and we take him at the top of 3??? Do they think they can turn him into a DT? The pick really doesnt make sense seeing how they had all night to restack the board, I cant believe he was at the top.
How did we get pick #92? I thought it still belonged to Detroit.
Aaron - NJ
Wow, why does Armando continue to respond to crticism? I've always liked LeBetard's way of embracing criticism. Armando just gets hostile and defensive. Taking my page hits Ethan.
Brilliant, Armando. Perfectly worded in philistine fashion.
I thought we had the 92nd pick? What happened there?
Please don't criticize Mando on his writing. ANYTHING is better than him speaking.
I dont think Manningham is even on the Dolphins board. He would be good value at #115 no?
Today is not the day to Bash Armando and support the sun-sentinel. Not after the Sun-Sentinel's ridiculous display of inaccurate reporting on the JT front.
Armando, were you wrong on Miami getting the 92nd pick? ESPN's site says Detroit still had it, and took Cliff Avril.
How is Detroit getting all these 3rd rounders?
Why hasn't Armando let us know about our supposed 92nd pick? Is he off humping a bible?
Baltimore is having a A+ Draft. They've picked up some talent.
TFK
Giants just took Mario Manningham
Armando can you update us on the trade down info?
Manningham to the G-Men
Mando,
I still think John Beck is the man to beat out this year. I mean, if parcells did not think beck was good enough, he would of taken Henne with the 32nd pick. You, me and the whole world DID NOT know henne was going to drop to the 57th pick. I mean parcells had to draft him there (GREAT VALUE), thats a no brainer. I think parcells like beck, but Henne will compete for the job also.
But I feel, they like beck more then what you think.
What you think!!!!
Manningham is gone. Miami fans can stop wetting themselves.
Sorry, the Sun-Sentinel & St Pete Times had it right. JT was all but shipped to the Bucs, but the Jags screwed it up trying to low-ball Parcells. Armando is not dialed into the Fins as he should be...and it shows with his reporting (or lack thereof)
Armando was saying we're currently on pick 92, not that the Fins have it
Sorry, the Sun-Sentinel & St Pete Times had it right. JT was all but shipped to the Bucs, but the Jags screwed it up trying to low-ball Parcells. Armando is not dialed into the Fins as he should be...and it shows with his reporting (or lack thereof)
What is this country coming to? Now we have professional writers who have standards lower than high school dropouts. Incredible. Anyone wonder why so many jobs are going offshore?
i dont see where everyone is seeing we have the 92, we traded 64 for 66 and a fifth
We did not pick at number 92 the guy was answering a question he was saying at this point we are at pick number 92 meaning the draft not the dolphins geez can you guys read
he meant we were currently on selection 92.
Wow...it is a long time to our Round 4 pick.
Many of the guys we are talking about, and Mando has written about are gone and going I assume.
I slept on it, and I don't like the Henne pick. There are quite a few other QB prospects still on the board even now (Booty, Ainge, Johnson).
Where is our shut down corner?..we could have used that Round 3 pick on him.
Where is the rest of our Offensive Line?
I like the DE focus...think Giants getting after Brady;-)
Somebody asked where the draft was and I answered No. 92. I didn't say the Dolphins were at No. 92.
"Sorry, the Sun-Sentinel & St Pete Times had it right. JT was all but shipped to the Bucs, but the Jags screwed it up trying to low-ball Parcells."
The trade didn't happen. By definition, the Sun-Sentinel had it wrong by putting up a giant "JT traded" headline on their website.
Sorry, but it's bad reporting to try and beat everyone to the story by reporting that something has happened that hasn't happened at all.
Defensive? I'm NOT DEFENSIVE! Hostile? I'll show you HOSTILE. Why I'll ...
Oh, never mind.
Anyone who support capitalism is dumb or a super-rich ruler of their nation, which means evil.
Anonymous you are so tedious. Have you no decency or shame? Please give yourself a name so you stop embarrassing all the other lurkers out there.
NE just took one of the QB's who I found more intriguing than the "Media Three" (Flac,Hen, Brohm). But then again, what does NE know about evaluting talent and drafting?
Armando, when are you going to apologize for causing high gas prices and a shaky housing market? In fact, it must be your fault that we're in Iraq and Afghanistan too. Because of you Armando we have crime and unemployment. Man, did you ever imagine you had so much to do with all the wrong in the world? People need to take a fresh breath of air and look hard in the mirror before they even dream of criticizing ANYONE...
I am laughing at some of these posts. I am actually sitting here in the media room chuckling.
So I'm not dialed in because I didn't report something that didn't happen? Guilty.
Yes, the players should walk away from the NFL, and start their own league. The workers should control their companies instead of being wage slaves.
I'm surprised I haven't been accused of hanging with Osama ... or is that Obama?
Yes, no one should criticize people...
We are in the fourth round.
No one blamed Armando for anything but poor writing skills.
Some apparently take issue with his conservative bible thumpin' beliefs.
Some doofus is bashing capitalism on a football blog? I wonder if they discuss the NFL on communist blogs.
Some people really need to find a hobby.
TFK
OL OR LB OR CB.IF JUSTIN KING CB IS STILL THERE FINS JUMP ON HIM!!!!!
Will Justin King be there for Miami? GB could scoop him up two picks before.
Mando - Please stop trying to be funny...It is just not natural for you...
No, Justin King is now gone too!
Rams just got Justin King
So is that it for corners worth taking?
Justin King just went to the Rams
I have enjoyed your blogs and reporting Mando....ignore all the twenty-somethings whom obviously have some self esteem issues.
I think he is trying to educate the masses.
Anthony Collins and Carl Nicks are still available. Great to move them to the inside, great value considered 2nd round talents
I'm not funny?
A horse walks into the bar and the bartender asks, "Why the long face ..."
WITH THE NEXT PICK THE PHINS SELECT ANTHONY COLLINS OT!!!! UNREAL HE IS STILL THERE. DAM JUSTICE KING IS GONE!!!
how many def.ends do you need parcells LETS DRAFT SOME F****N PLAYMAKERS
Armando could be funny with unplanned slapstick, like him tripping, and falling down stairs. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the intelligence for wit, or even planned slapstick.
At this point Miami should just select the best player available, regardless of position, unless it's something like QB.
We have a lot of holes to fill, and I'd rather pick based on talent rather then position.
TFK
Well, if Armando was intelligent, he wouldn't be doing this for a job, and you'd be addressing some other idiot running this thing. No one capable of using his brain would want his job.
Stop. You are hurting my feelings ... and ruining my show business possibilities.
I hope Armando didn't break any plans to be here today
TFK,
The NFL is some sort of totlitarian/communist system. Today we are celebrating men being picked up like chattel, forced to work only for the person who bought his ticket. Some of the chattel will be well-compensated for a short while, but will be expected to become young cripples for those dollars. Contracts will also be structured so that the biggest paydays come in the final years...by which time many will have been injured out, or will be tossed out cause the massa don't want to pay. But lets not think of the sociology of the sport. Just enjoy the entertainment being created so marketers can showcase their products in front of the hard to reach male 25-54 demographic.
Okay now, who do we get with 115?
Hey, Armando's an idiot, but he's our idiot, who gets us our stupid dolphins news that we all need for some dumb reason.
Actually, I have a great job. I get to talk to different people every day, both in the locker room and on the radio.
People ask me my opinion. Folks recognize me on the street and in restaurants.
I go to games for a living. I get on a flight with Dan Marino and he knows me and talks to me. And I get to hang with you people.
Stav,
You really need to get laid.
TFK
Hey,
TFK, the system is capitalist, and not communist. To suggest that it is would be ignorance.
Any details of the TRADE the Dolphins made with Dallas today for pick 100?
Hey Armando,
Have you ever seen Dan blow up like in that youtube video when he messes up his lines on the halftime show, and starts punching the desk, while everyone else looks on in horror?
You mean the trade that we made with Dallas Fri night?
Mando - Nobody is trying to hurt feelings here. Just an honest opinion. Nice prediction on the Fins are going 10-6 last lear. You are a JOKE
Mando, stop responding to these stupid posters and bring us info!!!
Have any embarrassing Cam Cameron stories?
Other than his coaching skills...
The problem is that TFK, like most Americans, thinks that the USSR was communist when it was actually fascist. A fascist nation cannot be communist by definition. It is similar to the U.S. claiming to be a democracy when it is in fact a polyarchy.
I got an embarrassing Cam Cameron story for you. Cam got $10 million and you got one win. You should be embarrassed, not Cam.
Polyarchy works, but I prefer plutocratic oligarchy which hides behind guise of democracy, as Russia did with communism.
Here's a link to the Marino freak out:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qa9LNPwZIGA
It's only 17 seconds long, but check it out.
Is that George Seifert next to him looking frightened?
what are we gona do with our pick??
there is a DT, CB, or what?
TFK,
You are right. But I've been married for ten years, I'm very loyal, my wife is gorgeous, she's 10 years younger than me and makes $200k at 36. I ain't gonna take a chance! ;)
But, did I say anything in that post that wasn't the sad truth about the NFL in particular and all highly marketed "sports"? Mando, you be the judge.
My fave targets coming up:
1. Ore St. G Roy Scheuning
2. Ga. Tech OLB Darrell Robertson
3. Bentley G Mackenzie Bernadeau
4. S. Carolina RB Cory Boyd
