Sitting at #25, the Dolphins had plenty of options. At wide receiver, Hakeem Nicks of North Carolina was still on the board and at linebacker Clay Matthews was still available, but the Dolphins went with their greatest position of need, and went with Vontae Davis, the corner from Illinois.
My snap judgment is that this was a very good pick, and probably a no-brainer for the Dolphins. Vontae Davis was the best pure cornerback available in the draft, and a great value where the Fins got him. Vernon's younger brother projects to start from day one with Miami, and he completes a very good-looking secondary. Even though he certainly fills a huge need, I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't the highest ranked player overall left on the Dolphins board.
Look for the Dolphins to go after a wideout and a linebacker before the day is over. I also wouldn't count out a nose tackle if Parcells has somebody who he likes.
