1st Round Grades

[DZimmer000]

I want to know your grades on this 1st round.

Wtf are you doing Christeen

I like Waddle, but don't think we got value. There was a big drop off after Chase at #5 to Waddle at #6, IMHO. But I love the Jaelan Philips pick. In fact, that was my prediction for the #18 pick because he fits us so perfectly and is the best edge in this draft. Considering my other man-crush defender, Zaven Collins, was gone, this was the real play and we made it. Gambling on greatness ... I like it!

 

[Birdmond]

Love Waddle but Phillips is a gamble but I totally understand it. I gave it a B.

 

[Aqua and Orange]

I give it an A. Two scary players for teams to contend with.

Yes there is an injury risk. Our current QB should show you how much stock this team puts in that when evaluating prospects.

B+. Waddle is a playmaker. I had zero issue drafting him. Now we have a ton of speed on offense.

I'll give the first round of this draft an A if we get a healthy Philips. He's a beast when healthy. He's a legit top pick if he didn't have the medical concerns.

 

[Goonies]

Only reason I gave it a B is because we drafted WR coming off a broken ankle @ 6 and Phillips with his past issues. But both are super talented.

 

[Waddle]

A+ and A.
Waddle and Fuller will stretch the hell out of defenses. And if Jaelen Phillips can stay healthy, we hit an absolute home run. Big risk, big reward.

 

[Sumlit]

After years of going safe, Dolphins swing for the fences taking more risk and people are not happy about it. I don't get it.

I think they nailed the two picks and the reward is worth the risk.

A for me.

 

[FinPhan54]

B

I think they could have gotten both players a couple slots later

I feel like we got sniped for Pitts and Zaven

 

[Yessir]

A

 

[FINatic054]

I gave a D mainly bc we screwed up trading back and losing Pitts. Even with the trade I don’t think Waddle is the pick at 6. I would have rather had Smith or even Sewell.
As for Phillips he’s a huge risk with multiple concussions that even forced him to retire just a couple years ago from football. He’s a concussion away from retiring for good. I would have taken darrisaw there. Or moved up to get Slater/parsons.

It's obvious that Miami is going after plus athletes. I'm pretty happy overall, but in hindsight, I'd rather have DeVonta Smith and our #1 next year instead of Waddle and our #3 next year (basically what the Eagles gave up to move up 2 spots to draft Devonta).

 

[DZimmer000]

Well.... The Dolphins have just sent out an internal memo. Apparently, all receiver meetings will now be held in the training room.

I gave it a B. Good explosive additions at needed positions. Have my concerns with the medical on Philips but I love the addition of the potential.
