Goals Entering the 2013 NFL Draft: Miami is out of range for an offensive tackle. Barring a trade, the Dolphins need to add the top player on their board and then attack the offensive line and cornerback positions in Rounds 2-4.

2013 NFL Draft Accomplishments: No one was surprised when the Dolphins moved up to No. 3, given that they had so many picks at their disposal. What shocked everyone was whom they drafted. Dion Jordan came out of left field, considering that he's not an ideal fit for most 4-3 defenses, including Miami's. It's unclear if the Dolphins plan on moving to a 3-4, but it makes sense because they have all the personnel for it. Having Jordan and Cameron Wake rush from the outside with Randy Starks causing havoc on the interior will give opposing offensive coordinators many sleepless nights.

Miami complemented its upgraded pass rush rather well with a couple of solid secondary acquisitions. Jamar Taylor was a steal at No. 54, considering that he could have easily gone at the end of the first round. Will Davis didn't provide as much value at the end of the third, but he should be a solid depth player.

I liked some of the Dolphins' other picks, but the issue with their draft class is that they didn't come away with an option at left tackle. Dallas Thomas is a guard, or at best, a right tackle. What is Miami going to do across from Jonathan Martin? Why couldn't a trade for Branden Albert come through?

Don't really understand why he's not an "ideal fit" for a 4-3... sure he didn't play with his hand in the dirt in college, but big whoop.

They are probably referring to it more from a run defense perspective.

But hey, Jason Taylor was undersized and developed into a very good run defender.

That's because that man had a karate black belt's hands and played with unbelieveable leverage. They should hire JT as a consultant to train Dion.

The Dolphins coaching staff at the time used to make linemen, both on the offensive and defensive side, practice karate striking and blocking.

I remember going out to training camp one time and seeing Tim Bowens and Daryl Gardner doing blocks and strikes with a coach and wondering what the hell it was for...

Actually, I've been taking MMA lately (no, not with Michael Egnew) and it is amazing how one can use jujitsu to break up holds.

Instead of karate, they should be doing that. A guy grabs you just inside your shoulders, double strike down, push him in the chest and get him off balance...

Seeing how they clench standing.. I could see Akido being effective as well. Though I am not so sure the refs would like seeing a D-lineman tossed to the ground by their thumb.
