Dolphins Nuggets

I'm sure many of you would like to know what the Dolphins options are regarding the #1 pick, besides just packing the pick for a combination of other draft picks. I am curious about these things as well. That's why Omar Kelly's latest blog post at the Sun-Sentinel is a great read. Even if all of those scenarios end up being pipe dreams, it's still fun to imagine the possibilities.

I myself particularly like the idea of having either Antrel Rolle or Jeremy Shockey on this team. However, both Arizona and New York's picks are too low to be packaged with either veteran to match the value of the #1 overall selection. They would have to toss in some other picks of considerable value for the front office in Davie to be comfortable dealing the #1 pick for.

Something that makes more sense practically would be to trade the pick to Atlanta or Cincinnati for Hall or Johnson. Their picks are still in the top 10, so the Dolphins would still get two quality players out of the deal, one proven, one with potential. However, those two deals are also the two most unlikely to happen, as the Dolphins don't appear interested in DeAngelo Hall, and the Bengals seem adamant about keeping Chad Johnson in Cincy.

Let me know if you guys think of any other solutions that would benefit the team.
