Second day

THE DOLPHINS STILL haven't picked anyone I'd heard of before the NFL Draft. Jared Odrick (Penn State DE) yesterday and Koa Misi (Utah LB) today. Misi fills a need at rush linebacker, but I wonder what they were thinking with Odrick. Unless Odrick can play nose guard, they still need a nose guard and a safety.

Here's a Palm Beach story on why the Dolphins picked Odrick in the first round. Sounds like he could play nose guard.

They have a third-round pick left tonight and several picks tomorrow. Some of those guys probably won't make the team.

They did it again, drafting John Jerry (Ole Miss OG), another player I'd never heard of. And they still need a nose guard and a safety. Sigh. I hope he's a good guard.
