Smokescreens and due-diligence, those are the two main terms that describe this time of year for NFL clubs. No one wants to tip their hand as to what they may do when the NFL Draft arrives at the end of next month, but they also need to visit with the college players they would be interested in selecting during the Draft. It is a carefully orchestrated balancing act.
The Miami Dolphins are well into their preparations for the annual selection meeting, attending the various college pro days around the country, meeting privately with players during those workouts and extending invitations to players to come to Miami to meet with the team.
