*** DOLPHINS NEWS ***
Mar 29, 1997: -- Draft Picks --

First of all, a correction to my last post. I stated that the Dolphins had traded a 4th round pick to the Jets for OT James Brown. That's incorrect, as a number of people have pointed out to me. The Dolphins actually traded their 5th round pick to the Jets for Brown.

So here is the latest information I have about the Dolphins' current draft choices:

	Round	No.	Comments
	1	15	
	2	44
	3	73
	3	92	Compensatory Pick
	3	93	Compensatory Pick
	3	96	Compensatory Pick
	4	112
	4       123	From San Francisco for Terry Kirby
	5       149	From Kansas City for Pete Stoyanovich
	6       177

It should be noted here that the Dolphins now have 6 picks in the first 100. Also, if the Dolphins choose to trade any of these picks, they can't trade away any of their compensatory picks.

My Comments:

The rumors persist that Miami will trade up with Baltimore for a number of draft picks and perhaps a player. The player mentioned for the trade is Richmond Webb. If Webb is traded, however, we must ask who would take his place? Has Jeff Buckey matured enough to play left tackle?

It's hard to imagine that JJ would trade away one of his best offensive linemen, but stranger things have happened. If Miami does make that trade, the two players that are mentioned JJ might draft with that pick are DE/LB Peter Boulware and LB Dwayne Rudd.

The other possible trade was with rumored to be with Oakland, but it now appears that the Seattle trade has put that rumor to rest.
