I was interested in becoming a scout at one point and started researching it. Found out that there's a boat load of nepotism in NFL scouting. If you're not related to someone who's already a scout or good friends with them it's very difficult to break into the business. Unless any of the scouts on the Bills know someone high up in the Dolphins organization they're not getting a job with the Dolphins no matter how well they spot talent. Just the nature of the beast.
I like Tyrod Taylor but one big problem he has on intermediate and short passes is that he doesn't put a lot of velocity on the football. In fact, I think if you look at that particular measurable, he's pretty much down at the bottom among what we would consider to be 'successful' NFL quarterbacks who are currently active.
It's why he has to excel at the deep stuff to continue having success as a passer; he's simply limited in the types of throws he can make.
So...Whaley taking...
1. Tre'Davious White (CB)
2. Zay Jones (WR)
2. Dion Dawkins (OG)
5. Matt Milano (LB)
5. Nathan Peterman (QB)
6. Tanner Vallejo (LB)
...got him fired? If that was our draft, how would you feel about that? I didn't follow what they did, but it looks like they had a lot of picks from other teams, so they might have traded around a bit. Anybody know why the owner fired Whaley and his staff? The team seems young, fast, and competitive to me. They always give us fits.
