Dolphins Showing Interest in Gholston, Pac-Man

Taking a hard look at the former of the two is completely understandable. The last thing I would want would be to select two Buckeyes in the 1st round of consecutive drafts, but I could make an exception for a guy with Vernon Gholston's talent. I'm a little wary about his motor, but it's likely he will have a nice career in the NFL.

The Dolphins will attend his private workout on Monday to further evaluate the prospect. He recently improved his 40 time to 4.58 and his vertical leap to 42 inches. Both are freakishly good numbers for a guy his size.

However, Bill Parcells and Co. are also considering (at least a little) adding Adam "Pac-Man" Jones to the roster. You may know Pac-Man/Rain-man as a troubled player who frequents the wrong kind of strip clubs. Adam was suspended for a year by the league for a series of off-the-field incidents and will not be returning to the Titans.

I don't know if Pac-Man is worth the risk. He has some talent, but was overrated coming out of college and isn't a top level cover guy. He's a great return man, but that's why we drafted Ted Ginn, right? However, the sad reality is that Pac-Man would arguably be our best defensive back if he were to join the team (Will Allen as the possible exception). If he would be willing to sign a short term deal for a minimal salary, then I suppose I would take the chance.

I'm not a proponent of signing troublemakers, but I would rather have troublemakers on a short leash and producing on the field than signing choir boys who get lit up on defense.
