Joining a team coming off a 1-15 season, that might not be entirely bad. Some people go through years of expensive therapy to disassociate from such trauma. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/511040.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/511040.html Sat, 26 Apr 2008 20:16 EDT The streak lives. University of Miami safety Kenny Phillips was selected 31st overall by the Super Bowl champion New York Giants in Saturday's NFL Draft, extending the Hurricanes' streak of first-round picks to 14 years. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/511225.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/511225.html Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:50 EDT The Cowboys added another Bull to their defense with the team's second first-round draft pick in Saturday's NFL Draft. Dallas selected South Florida defensive back Mike Jenkins with the 25th overall selection. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/508667.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/508667.html Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:01 EDT Prepping you for a draft weekend on the couch: Fans tuning in Saturday can expect not only a later start, but a quicker pace, too. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/507295.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/507295.html Thu, 24 Apr 2008 02:09 EDT It is a good thing Bill Parcells and Jeff Ireland run a football team and not a television studio, because the duo erased any element of drama surrounding their No. 1 pick by deciding on offensive tackle Jake Long five days before their clock even starts ticking at the NFL Draft. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/506178.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/506178.html Wed, 23 Apr 2008 02:42 EDT You looked around the room where the Dolphins introduced their new No. 1 draft pick Tuesday afternoon, and it made perfect sense that the young man they were introducing was Jake Long, the University of Michigan offensive tackle. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/505858.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/505858.html Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:33 EDT The day had the look and feel of success with the Dolphins trotting out larger-than-life Jake Long to celebrate the signing of the NFL's first overall draft pick four days before the annual selection process actually begins. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/505857.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/505857.html Tue, 22 Apr 2008 22:34 EDT With Jake Long set as the Dolphins' No. 1 pick, here's a look at scenarios for Miami's selection at No. 32, with several draftniks weighing in: http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/504147.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/504147.html Tue, 22 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT I tried on a medieval suit of armor, but it was hot in there, plus the chain-mail gloves made it too hard to type. I settled instead for a Kevlar vest and a surrounding platoon of those same Chinese bodyguards who have been protecting the Olympic torch. And now with somewhat less trepidation I might finally say the words aloud: http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/502728.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/502728.html Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT It was April 24, 2004, and one by one, the names kept coming like touchdowns in a blowout: Sean Taylor, Kellen Winslow, Jonathan Vilma, D.J. Williams, Vernon Carey and Vince Wilfork. http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/502707.html http://www.miamiherald.com/1279/story/502707.html Sun, 20 Apr 2008 03:01 EDT A looming Dolphins issue: With so many needs elsewhere, should they invest the first pick of the second round on a quarterback? Or should they instead wait to take one much later or sign Chris Simms if Tampa Bay cuts him, as some expect?
