The Miami Dolphins Select OT George Karl with the 1st Pick in the 2008 NFL Draft
FanIQ Blog — ... George Karl, now here's a guy who does a great job of keeping guys in front of him. Good bend of the knees, and keeps his pad level low enough. Possibly a little too old for the 1st overall pick, but he'd be the best offensive lineman on the team right now. It's a reach, but you have to like the intensity level. Overall, An excellent left-tackle prospect with fair athletic ability and solid technique that will make him a great blindside protector in the NFL. [Odenized]
