We didn't need Forest Lamp at #22. We could have accepted one of three or four trade down offers; then, we could have easily traded down again and acquired at least two picks and still have been able to draft the #1 guard prospect in the draft.
This fact, and it is fact. The trade offers were there; this, more than any other particular factor makes me agree with Lance.
Another thing; we drafted 0 starters. The only way any of those guys starts is if we have injuries prior to start of the season.
No player drafted by the Dolphins has potential greatness. All three top picks project to be mediocre at best, and the mid and late round picks are meh, or just obvious wasted picks like Ford.
No starters and No potential greatness. The guy with the most potential is probably Isaac Asiata, but he won't blossom for about 3-4 years.
It was a horrific draft. Passing on adding additional picks through trade down to draft a rotational DL who ranked 163rd in college football against the run last year shows stubborn stupidity and complete lack of vision by our FO.
This draft was replete with players that had legitimate potential for greatness, from round 1 through round 7, they were woven through the fabric of the draft, and we didn't draft even one of them.
Greatness wins championships. There were several safeties with enormous potential but we passed on every one of them.
We will need !00% healthy years from Suh,Reshad Jones, Cam Wake, and at least a couple other guys will need to enter greatness for this team to go far. If Tannehill and Parker have great years along with an excellent year from the RB's there is a chance, but we didn't address the OL or run defense, so what we really need is some kind of small miracle where Pouncey actually stays healthy and one or two of the young nobodies surprises the world and plays great. Asiata, Steen ,Smith. Like I said, a small miracle.
