Cody Brown
Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald reports that Connecticut defensive end Cody Brown will have a private workout with the Dolphins on April 10.
The 6-foot-2, 244-pound Brown finished his collegiate career with 24 sacks in 42 games for the Huskies. He recorded a career-high 11 sacks as a senior in 2008 on his way to first-team All-Big East honors.A quality pass rusher, Brown will be strongly considered by the Dolphins in Round 2 as a 3-4 outside linebacker.
Lawrence Sidbury, Jr.
The Dolphins were reportedly represented when defensive end Lawrence Sidbury, Jr. worked out at Richmond's Pro Day on March 19.
Per NFL.com, the Dolphins' linebackers coach (presumably outside linebackers coach Jim Reid) was in attendance.
Sidbury racked up 20 sacks with the Spiders, including a career-high 11 as a senior. He will be considered by the Dolphins in Rounds 2 and 3 as a pass-rushing outside linebacker prospect.
Jason Williams
NFLDraftBible.com reports the Dolphins will conduct a private workout with Western Illinois linebacker Jason Williams this week.
Williams (6-3, 235) finished his collegiate career with 289 tackles (46.5 for a loss), 15 sacks and one interception. His best season came as a junior in 2007, when he recorded 107 tackles and eight sacks for the Leathernecks.
Williams is a potential mid-to-late round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. He projects as a insider linebacker in the Dolphins' 3-4.

Chris,
do you think there is any real chance to unload Beck?? He was a good kid but i dont think he will ever be an nfl starter and probably not even a back up... my cousin and i argue ove his capability, to me he looks timid and hurried in the pocket...what is your realistic opinion???

Will Beck ever be an NFL starter? No, probably not given his advanced age for his experience and the way his career has gone thus far.
However, I do think any Dolphins fan who has written Beck off as garbage is out of their mind. The guy started five games, as a ROOKIE, and on the NFL's worst team. He had no chance to succeed in that situation. We can never and will never know what would have happened had Cameron stayed and Beck been given time to develop as a starter. Maybe he would have been bad anyway, but we can never know for sure.
Whether or not Beck has the capability of being a good pro, it's undeniable he never had a fair shot in Miami. He had a brief and impossible shot as a rookie, and then had a new staff come in and bring their own guys in. Beck never had a chance to succeed here.
