I was wondering if Saban might pass on TD just because of that but then again, he's gonna do what he wants no matter what. Congrats to Daniels.
Seems every team's fan base will complain about their teams draft picks until they see TD light someone up
You called him...in the 2nd round...Did you ever agree to that thousand dollar bet I made with you? If so, I can give you an account number to make that deposit... ;-)
People were complaining in TB about Gruden picking Michael Clayton. I had seen some projections of TD going in the 3rd, so Saban is getting good value. TD was no slouch, and he was a big cog in our defense the last 4 years. Remember how he started his career in the SECCG against Tenn. The dolphins just traded Surtain to KC so they need CB's.
Greatings, I am a Dolphins fan and to tell you the truth, I know nothing about Daniels. I can't get excited about the pick because I know nothing about him. Could someone fill me in on how he did in college?
I'm a Dolphin fan too, I like the TD pick, don't love it. He has moved around at LSU, gone from safety to corner, where he finished last year. He has good size and above average speed (he ran a 4.47 at our pro day I believe), and he is also a pretty physical corner. He didn't quite live up to expectations this year, but he was not as bad as Webster was. Daniels had a fairly consistent year other than the Georgia game, where he got absolutely burned all day. I like the pick, but I think Brandon Browner would've been a better pick.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2005/daniels_travis Travis is from Hollywood, Florida so he should be right at home playing for the Dolphins in his own back yard. Click the link for his profile. I also am a Dolphin fan, not quite a big one like when Dan the Man was there. I use to love Dan to Clayton and Duper, miss those years. AJ Duhe on the Defensive side. NS and TD will probably turn that around.
Saban has taken all players that either played against him or for him... Brown at Auburn, Roth at Iowa, Crowder at Florida, Daniels at LSU...
