Wright only put up 16 reps benching 225. That is so weak for a 300+ DT

 

WRIGHT TO FINS IN ROUND FIVE

A league source tells us that the Miami Dolphins have selected USC defensive tackle Manuel Wright in the fifth round of the supplemental draft.

 

 

 

Wright, who declared for the supplemental session after being ruled academically ineligible, is considered to be a project with significant potential.

 

 

 

And the Fins need help at the position.

 

 

 

For Miami, the move means the loss of a fifth-round pick in 2006

When Ricky Williams makes his return later this month to the Dolphins, he likely won't be the locker room pariah.

 

 

 

That title, as we hear it, has been handed to tight end Randy McMichael, who recently was arrested for the second time in 13 months on charges of assaulting his wife.

 

 

 

McMichael's teammates rightfully are pissed at him. Apart from the fact that, you know, it's wrong to beat on your spouse, McMichael's antics provide an unwelcome distraction at a time when things generally are looking up for the franchise.

 

 

 

Word also is that McMichael and his wife are "always arguing," and that they "act like they're still in high school."

 

 

 

Look, we're firm believers in people honoring their marital vows, especially when children are involved. But if people just can't get along to the point that one of the parties to the marriage is driven to alleged criminal acts, we think folks strongly should consider going their separate ways.

 

 

 

Meanwhile, The South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports that McMichael recently shared with incoming NFL players at the rookie symposium advice on how to avoid problems of this nature.

 

 

 

"He was telling us he was in a situation before where he was the one that called the police and he still ended up in jail," Dolphins rookie cornerback Travis Daniels told The Sun-Sentinel. "He said he and his wife worked out things and everything was better. We were clapping for him."

 

 

 

More recently, McMichael allegedly was clapping his hand against his wife's face.

 

 

 

Another strike against McMichael is that, per The Sun-Sentinel, McMichael is in the NFL's substance abuse program due to issues with alcohol
