In this installment of After The Draft Thoughts we will take a look at the Miami Dolphins and see if they have done enough to get back into the playoffs. One of the biggest problems the Dolphins had was not a go to guy on offense and they have solved that problem. The Dolphins traded Ted Ginn Jr away and also traded for Brandon Marshall. Now they have a go to wide receiver that is very talented and will make plays for them. This was something they were lacking last year. Let's take a look at their draft picks as well.
1 28 (28) Jared Odrick DT 6-5 296 Penn St.
2 8 (40) Koa Misi OLB 6-3 263 Utah
3 9 (73) John Jerry OL 6-5 350 Mississippi
4 21 (119) A.J. Edds LB 6-4 244 Iowa
5 14 (145) Nolan Carroll DB 6-1 202 Maryland
5 32 (163) Reshad Jones S 6-2 215 Georgia
7 5 (212) Chris McCoy DL 6-4 252 Middle Tennessee St.
7 45 (252) Austin Spitler LB 6-3 234
The Dolphins went mostly defense and got some very good players. Jared Odrick out of Penn State has a real good shot of starting and making an impact as a rookie. Koa Misi out of Utah an outside linebacker can also make an impact. Reshad Jones and Nolan Carroll can also make an impact maybe not right away though. Do not discount Iowa's A.J. Edds either as a possible player in the future. The Dolphins drafted well and got some key players that will help them. Trading for Brandon Marshall though was the key and he will make an instant impact.

Brian Westbrook Visited Washington, Denver Next
Brian Westbrook the former Philadelphia Eagle has visited the Washington Redskins and now is headed for Denver as well. Westbrook is a player who has a recent rash of concussions and I will be very surprised if anyone signs him. He is a talented player, but what team wants to take a chance of him getting hurt again.
Westbrook can probably help a lot of teams, but his health is the main reason he is still unemployed. I am sure someone will give him a chance, but I hope he can stay healthy. I would hate to see him have more concussions and hurt him as far as life after football. Maybe it's time that Westbrook think about his health and not take any more chances. In the end though it is something he must decide.

After The Draft Thoughts: Indianapolis Colts Do They Have Another Super Bowl Run?
In this installment of After The Draft Thoughts we will look at the Indianapolis Colts and what they did in the NFL draft and how they are looking for next year. Let's first take a look at who they drafted.
1 31 (31) Jerry Hughes DE 6-3 257 TCU
2 31 (63) Pat Angerer LB 6-1 235 Iowa
3 30 (94) Kevin Thomas CB 6-1 185 USC
4 31 (129) Jacques McClendonG 6-3 324 Tennessee
5 31 (162) Brody Eldridge TE 6-5 265 Oklahoma
7 31 (238) Ricardo Mathews DL 6-3 294 Cincinnati
7 33 (240) Kavell Conner LB 6-1 225 Clemson
7 39 (246) Ray Fisher CB 5-9 185
The Indianapolis Colts took Jerry Hughes from TCU. Hughes is a top notch defensive player who could step in and help the Colts right away. Pat Angerer out of Iowa is a good linebacker as well. Most of the players the Colts took were on the defensive side of the ball. It seems every year the Colts lose players to injuries on that side of the ball. The Colts will be in contention as well this year. They need to keep people healthy though as that continues to be a problem on the defensive side of the ball. As long as they have Peyton Manning they will always be in contention. Look for the Colts to make another Super Bowl run, but this year it will be much tougher.

After The Draft Thoughts: Cleveland Browns Addressing Their Needs
In this installment of After The Draft Thoughts we are looking at the Cleveland Browns and how they are molding their team through the draft. The Browns had a lot draft picks so let's check out how well they did.
1 7 (7) Joe Haden CB 5-11 190 Florida
2 6 (38) T.J. Ward DB 5-11 201 Oregon
2 27 (59) Montario HardestyRB 6-0 212 Tennessee
3 21 (85) Colt McCoy QB 6-3 210 Texas
3 28 (92) Shawn Lauvao G 6-3 305 Arizona St.
5 29 (160) Larry Asante S 6-1 210 Nebraska
6 8 (177) Carlton Mitchell WR 6-4 212 South Florida
6 17 (186) Clifton Geathers DE 6-8 281 South Carolina
The Cleveland Browns had some holes to fill in the draft and they addressed them pretty well. Joe Haden out of Florida is a cornerback that has the chance to start right away. T.J. Ward out of Oregon was also a very nice pick. Maybe the best pick that the Browns made was getting Colt McCoy out of Texas. He brings so many go things to a team. He will not start right away which is a good idea. Let him learn the game on the bench and when the time is right let him start. All in all the Browns did a nice job with their pics. The Browns also did well in trading and picking up guys before the draft. Cleveland is heading in the right direction and Browns fans have to be happy about that.
