With the first pick in the 2008 NFL draft, the Miami Dolphins select…
The media is making entirely too much of Jeff Ireland’s slip of the tongue.
Media members and pundits seem to think that now the Dolphins have narrowed their choice to Vernon Gholston, Chris Long or Glen Dorsey. imagine that, the Dolphins have narrowed their list to the same 3 guys who have been the consensus best players in the draft. Why make a big deal about this?
You also have to consider that Ireland purposely “let it slip” that they were targeting a defensive player. That news could trigger better trade offers from teams panicking that “their player” might not be on the board when they pick.
What it comes down to is that the Dolphins are likely going to pick one of the defensive players, since their defense is getting older and breaking down more. Does Ireland’s goof tell us anything more or different from what we already assumed?
