Rnd # (ovr) Player Comments
1 2 (2) RB Ronnie Brown Brown is generally rated as the best overall running back in the draft. But there are a lot of highly rated running backs on the board and Miami needs a lot more than just a top running back. A trade down for more players - even if it doesn't quite match up to the value charts - would seem to make more sense.
2 3 (35) - Traded To Philadelphia for AJ Feeley
2 14 (46) DE Matt Roth A very intense, hard working, overachieving defensive end. Acquired from Kansas City for CB Patrick Surtain on 4/22/05
3 2 (66) - Traded To St.Louis for Lamar Gordon
3 6 (70) LB Channing Crowder Another high energy, intense player, Crowder is widely regarded as enormously talented - perhaps the best inside linebacker in the draft. But concerns about his injury history and his off field problems have caused him to drop. Acquired from Chicago, along with Marty Booker, for Adewale Ogunleye
4 3 (104) CB Travis Daniels One of Nick's old boys, this tall and lanky cornerback is better suited to playing zone defense than tight coverage. Despite Coach Saban's assertion that Daniels will be a cornerback, he seems much better suited to play free safety.
5 2 (138) N/A Traded to Kansas City as part of the Patrick Surtain deal on 4/22/05
5 26 (162) OT Anthony Alabi An amazing physical specimen with the physical tools to excel in the NFL, he'll need to work very hard to develop the right technique. Acquired from Kansas City as part of the Patrick Surtain deal on 4/22/05
6 3 (177) - Traded to San Diego for David Boston
7 2 (216) DT Kevin Vickerson  

   - - Pick lost before the draft due to deals made by Dave Wannstedt and Rick Spielman
