Two weeks ago, NOBODY was talking about Rolando McClain as the guy the Dolphins need to target in the draft. It was all Dez Bryant this and Dez Bryant that with a little Brandon Spikes thrown in for good measure. But then
I tweeted this on my twatter and suddenly everybody's talking about us drafting McClain. From fans to talk radio to Mel Kiper Jr. to Armando Salguero. And that can only mean one thing. There's no way in shitsville we're going to land McClain now. Fuck. Me.
I blame myself. Feel free to tell me to eat a bowl of dicks and to fuck myself with a shoehorn.
So, yea, Kiper thinks we're going to land McClain. This, of course, is the first of his many mock drafts to come. And, as much as I hate to agree with Armando, there is that lingering feeling that Denver will snatch him up before us. Then again, Josh McDaniels is a man-child retard, so you never know.
Instead, Armando points us to Bucky Brooks of NFL.com. Bucky has us taking LB Sergio Kindle from Texas.
Kindle is an OLB, and a pretty excellent edge pass rusher. Of course, we do have Cameron Wake. Of course, having Wake and Kindle on the field at the same time would be pretty cool.
There's also free agency, where you never know what might happen (although, if I could take a guess, the Fins will throw a shitload of money to a guy with a history of injuries who will be on IR by Week 12 of the 2010 season. Yay!!)
I say fuck it. Let's trade up to keep Die Hard out of Denver's shitty little hands. OR let's move up even higher to grab Gerald McCoy or, my personal favorite player of this draft (yes, even more than McClain), Eric Berry.
I know it's early. I know the season isn't even over yet. I know that a lot can happen between now and April. But a man can dream, dammit! A MAN CAN DREAM! That's what the blue kitty people from Avatar taught me, anyway. And that movie's made like a bagillion dollars, so they should know.
