Draft Philosophy of current staff

I liked our draft much more this year than any of our previous drafts since Jimmy Johnson was here as head coach and it was better than Don Shulas drafts that I followed also. A plus rating from hitting all the need positions in this years draft outside of Safety. Outside of our last pick in this years draft in the 7th round at wide receiver their is a great opportunity for every player to contribute and possibly start this year. I am not absolutely certain we got the best players at their position when we picked but from every publication I have gotten my hands on we were in the ball park in the first 2 rounds then got great value the remainer of the draft. Compared to last year we didn't appear to pick up any injury concerns this year. Tunsil, Drake and Lucas all came with injury history from their careers not so this year.
What does concern me a bit is some of the sports writers appeared to know the picks before the draft from leaks inside the phins organization. Not good. Sure you can probably now circle a need area on the team before the draft, review who visited the Dolphins and get a idea who they might draft. That's okay you just don't want to become to predictable or have those leaks otherwise you will have teams start leapfroging us for our coveted draft choices moving forward l.
 
This entire off-season seemed to be about getting more physical. I love that. Plus Miami stayed away from injury prone players, which may pay off as well.
