Marino was the sixth quarterback taken in that first round

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have selected Alabama cheap louis vuitton sunglasses safety Mark Barron with the seventh pick of the NFL draft. Barron will be plugged into a defense that was among the worst in the NFL a year ago, when the Bucs went 4-12 and allowed a franchise-record 30.9 points per game. Tampa Bay began the night with the fifth pick. But after Cleveland moved up one spot to No. 3 to ensure they’d get Alabama running back Trent Richardson, the Bucs traded down to No. 7 in a deal that also landed a fourth-round pick from Jacksonville. Cornerback Morris Claiborne also was high of the Bucs’ wish list. However, Dallas pulled off a deal with St. Louis to move up eight spots to No. 6 to take the former LSU star.

For the first time in 29 years, the Dolphins placed their biggest bet in the craps game that is the NFL Draft on a quarterback. The Dolphins took Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill with the No. 8 overall pick in the draft Thursday night. Tannehill’s the first quarterback the Dolphins have louis vuitton hairpin used a first round pick on since they chose future Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who played more seasons and games than anyone in Dolphins history, with the penultimate pick of 1983’s fabled first round. Marino was the sixth quarterback taken in that first round. Tannehill was the third Thursday, behind expected Nos. 1 and 2 overall, Stanford’s Andrew Luck (Indianapolis) and Baylor’s Robert Griffin III (Washington). Tannehill had only 19 starts in college after converting to wide receiver early in his college career, then going back to quarterback in the middle of the 2010 season under then-A&M coach Mike Sherman, now the Dolphins offensive coordinator. A flurry of trades marked the early first round. Cleveland made a deal with Minnesota to move from No. 4 overall to No. 3, allowing the Browns to pick Alabama running back Trent Richardson. Minnesota took USC offensive tackle Matt Kalil. Jacksonville traded with Tampa Bay to move from No. 7 overall to No. 5 so the Jaguars could take Oklahoma State wide receiver Justin Blackmon. General draft talk had Tampa Bay liking LSU cornerback Morris Claiborne. But with Tampa Bay sitting at No. 7, Dallas jumped up to No. 6 overall via a trade with St. Louis and took Claiborne. Tampa Bay wound up used almost its entire 10-minute allotment, indicated the Cowboys move yanked the rug from under them. They eventually took Alabama defensive back Mark Barron. That left the table clear for the Dolphins to Louis vuitton for women shoes 2012 new arrival on sale black make the big bet on Tannehill, who’ll almost certainly sit this season behind Matt Moore and/or David Garrard.
