NFL Network insider and magical elf, Adam Schefter suggests that the Fins could be making my boy Vernon Gholston the first overall pick.
"As much as Ohio State defensive end Vernon Gholston wowed scouts during his personal workout Friday, he did the same during private individual workouts Monday for the Miami Dolphins... Miami, which owns the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft, sent its defensive coordinator Paul Pasqualoni to Columbus to personally work out Gholston on Monday morning. Miami is scheduled to pick first overall. It has now become apparent that Gholston could become the top defensive player drafted, and is unlikely to slip much beyond the sixth overall pick. His talents are too immense; which are backed up by his production. Gholston has posted 22 ½ sacks combined over the last two season, more than any of the draft’s top-rated defensive players."
NFL scouts have been wowed and slack jawed whenever Gholston has done a workout for them. Not unlike the reactions I get when I walk around naked.
And then there's his game against Michigan where he recorded 3 sacks and pretty much made Jake Long (that's right, Jake Long) hop on one leg and bark like a dog. Here's the YouTube. It looks like a circus bear busting through a paper wall and then mauling a midget.
