Yup!! And he got vilified for doing so on Finheaven. If I remember correctly he was one of the very few who openly hated Asiata's pro potential. Thought he outright sucked.Was it kiper that said Asiata blew chunks and that we over drafted him?

remember when Gase kept Dallas Thomas and Billy Turner on the roster to start them... I still don't find it funnyLove it...coaching staff saw Asiata was soft at camp and was not fully engaged with being professional football player. Solution cut him, don't waste time.
Kiper said he had an undrafted grade on Asiata. It really stood out because Kiper is seldom harsh on later round picks.
That pick was an example of everything you don't want to do in the draft. Overaged guy who was never a highly rated recruit or impressive athlete. The Dolphins probably got stuck looking at some meaningless tape or trying to force a scheme fit:

"His composite speed score of 4.49 includes his forty yard dash time, twenty yard split, and ten yard split with him grading below average for his position."
"His composite explosiveness score of 4.41 includes his vertical leap and broad jump, measuring in below average for his position."
"His composite agility score of 4.08 includes his 5-10-5 short shuttle and L-3-Cone drills, measuring in below average for his position."
I'm glad Barron got cut also. Very short arms. 2 star recruit. Another overaged guy who turns 24 next month. There have to be more intriguing guys than that.
I have no idea why we struggle to identify players at offensive line. Maybe the minor league guy has a chance. I can't say I know anything about him.
