Dolphins draft C Pouncey in first round

It wasn't the sexy QB pick that some hoped for, but the Dolphins did a good job with their first round selection by picking center Mike Pouncey from Florida. Pouncey may be best known in NFL circles for his brother Maurkice, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie with the Steelers last year. If Miami's Pouncey is nearly as successful, the Dolphins have made a good choice. I'm just glad the Dolphins didn't reach for a player or pick someone because of outside pressure, as they've done in previous years (can you say Eddie Moore?).

Unfortunately, the Dolphins weren't able to trade down and gain a second round pick this year. Barring any last minute trades, Miami has seven picks remaining in this year's draft.
