This is how I would mock it (if we get the extra #2): thoughts Shane?
1. SMLB- Clint Sintim, trade back for him and pick up extra 5-6th rounder. (to stuff the run, blitz QB, and take over for retired Joey)
2a. C- Alex Mack (perennial all-pro center to QB our O-line for next 10 years)
2b. CB- Darius Butler (fast man CB/potential blanket #1)
2c. FS- Louis Delmas (fast, field roaming, ball-hawk who can QB secondary, ala Ed Reed)
3. WMLB-Tryone McKenzie (quick, instinctive WOLB at USF who makes plays all over the field)
4. WR- Pat White (you explained him already LOL)
5. NT- Sammie Lee Hill (huge, agile, run stuffer with great character)
6. G- Louis Vasquez (big and powerful project!! This years Donald Thomas?)
7a. MLB- Jasper Brinkley 6’2, 270 solid (short yardage run stuffer who was a 2nd round prospect last year- injury is fine)
7b. WR- DJ Boldin (tough reliable kid who’s play reminds me a lot of his brother’s)
7a. QB (BPA)

-DJ Moore, Darius Butler, and Dominique Johnson fit our man-man CB, potential #1 mold.
-Shaun Smith, Louis Delmas, Rashad Johnson fill our ball-hawk FS need. (unfortunately, IMO, Miami needs to seal this position down early and NAIL it! It’s too important as FS will have to pull up the slack from our CB’s)
-I’m having trouble figuring out our future MLB with this class. ugg. Dansby would really help!! I like the idea of converting OLB Clint Sintim to SMLB (mike) who can stuff the run and blitz like Zach Thomas of old. I also like converting WOLB Tyrone Mckenzie to WILB… and adding ILB/OLB Jasper Brinkley to stuff the run on 3rd/4th and short and goal line. enough talking on my part!! LOL.

Alphonso likes to play zone where he can use his instincts to jump routes and make plays like Brandon Flowers last year, only faster though. He might not fit our man-man coverage scheme, which sucks b/c he’s a guy you want playing for you!!!
