SUNDAY TALK with a Fly By of Mr. PHILBIN'S Camp...the 2013 AQUA Boyz 305 Draft Picks and Grade...PHIN Up...and PHINS Biz

The Miami Dolphins started their 2013 draft process by first shopping in Free Agency with that Aqua Boyz Black Card. They had a few needs and they were not going to fill them all by going through the 2013 NFL Draft. They win the Mike Wallace Sweepstakes for whatever that's worth. Speed Kills but you need the Pigskin first to catch then run. They solidified the middle by signing Ravens ILB Dannell Ellerbe. Those were the two big fish as they let go of some key veterans like RB Reggie Bush and ILB Karlos Dansby. They needed an Edge Rusher opposite of DE/OLB Cameron Wake and did they get one?

2013 AQUA Boyz 305 Draft Class

Round Pick Position Player College

1 3 DE Dion Jordan #QuackAttack

2 22 CB Jamar Taylor #BoiseSt

3 15 OT Dallas Thomas #RockyTopUT

3 31 CB Will Davis #UtahSt

4 7 OLB Jelani Jenkins #theSwamp

4 9 TE Dion Sims #Sparty

5 31 RB Mike Gillislee #theSwamp

5 33 K Caleb Sturgis #theSwamp

7 44 SS Don Jones #ArkansasST

Jordan is exactly what they need as he is fast and athletic and can fly to the QB. He will play opposite of Mr. Wake and they can become formidable if Jordan is a fast learner.

Taylor is immediate help at corner as they let #1 CB Sean Smith go to Free Agency and traded Vontae Davis to Colts in 2012

Thomas will try to fill the Void left by OT Jake Long who took the Money and went to the Jeff Fisher Group in the Lou.

Davis is another corner that adds to Depth and Special Teams as well as maybe a Nickel Corner...

Jenkins is fast and athletic OLB as the Phins try to do an overhaul of their Team with Youth made up of Athletes and Speed as they play in the AFC East...

They signed Dustin Keller as Fasano left in Free Agency and Sims will be on the field from Day One as he is an exceptional blocking Tight End...

Gillislee fills the shoes of the now Lions RB Reggie Bush...the Phins wanted a more durable back that could run between the A-Gap as well as get to Pay Dirt if he gets into the 2nd level.

Sturgis is a Kicker from the Gators...enough said!

Jones will be trying to make an impact in the Back of the D at Safety and slotted behind 4th year man Reshad Jones of Between the Hedges U.

The Phins did a nice job pick #1 Jordan, #2 Taylor, and #3 Thomas...the other Picks only time  will tell but most of this class is Day one Contributors...Grade C
