I'll say Ajayi.Watching him in college made me a quick fan of his.He appeared to be a 5th round pick that slid into our laps due to injury problems.His second year he was a monster for us.i was looking forward to seeing him develop.

He played well for us. Yes, I agree, he slid to the 5th due to medical concerns, not because his talent was questioned.

Do you think he had coachability, or compatibility issues? I mean he hasn't exactly set the league on fire since his departure.

Gase was an egotistical buffoon, but maybe he wasn't wrong on this one.
 
Speaking of Jay Ajayi I don't hear many people moaning about that trade anymore...

as for me I never expect a 5th round pick to do great things with us. Just an expectations thing I guess.
 
I liked Ajayi coming out of college cause he had great numbers rushing and catching passes too. I thought he was gonna get drafter higher. I like Thomas coming out of college too but I think he fell because he wasn't bigger or faster. Of course we passed on him 4 times too before we took him in the 5th round.
 
Is hoping they make the roster a great thing?

Gase had plenty of faults but this was one of the decisions he nailed. Jay had a degenerative knee and I believe someone here pointed out that it didn't look quite right when he ran. You put the two together and whatever Miami saw had them feeling as though the knee would not hold.

His last straw was his inability to be coached. We had issues before he broke out, and I guess some Eagles fans who are tuned in say that he would argue with coaches there to.

Overall it was a combination of his attitude and medical concerns that began his downfall. One knee injury for a guy like that and now he can't find a roster spot. I don't feel bad co spidering his attitude before he left here
 
I hyped for Reshad Jones before Miami drafted him and he’s worked out pretty well. Hope his attitude is better this year.
 
I was a HUGE Reshad fan when he was coming out. I never predicted he would be an ALL PRO, but I was a huge fan as prospect.


I had never seen Reshad play until draft night when I looked at his higlight videos online and I thought to myself "this guy looks great... I cant believe we got him in the 5th?!"

That's really been a great round for Miami. Maybe Miles Gaskin can be a sixth round steal. I like his game. Reminds me a little bit of Warrick Dunn.
