16Miami Dolphins
ERNIE SIMS, LB, Florida State

Original pick: Jason Allen, CB, Tennessee
Sims hasn't been spectacular in Detroit, but he leads the Lions in tackles and brings his A game every week. With Zach Thomas in the middle, the Dolphins could use him as a nice bookend at left outside linebacker, opposite of ex-Gator OLB Channing Crowder.

Ernie Simms would have been an ok pick but we should have picked Mangold or a playmaking corner.

There are no do-overs in life.

if we are going to do over a draft lets redo the one where we take Fletcher over Brees lol. I wish the people on this board that said that Brees was njot much of an upgrade over Fielder would remind me who they are.

Interesting to note SI thinks the Packers believe Aaron Rodgers is a bust.

why would you create a thread on draft do-over when the guy your saying we should have taken was gone before our pick? right now, jason allen is so useless i'm not sure "any" pick wouldn't be better:shakeno:

Id rather have Ernie Sims than jason Allen

Rodgers is going to struggle big time, Favre is being a dick by saying "I'm not mentoring this guy". He is going to set the kid back in his development, he is scewing over his team.

How many players need to talk about the difficulty of learning this defense before people realize that it's going to take awhile for Jason Allen to show us something?

Allen isn't starting because Saban knows he would make crucial mental errors caused by not yet having full knowledge of the philosophy. DBs can't afford to make mistakes because they usually result in points for the other team.

Patience guys...rookies take time to develop.

Simms was picked Ninth ... so that's not even a questioned.

Or Boldin instead of Eddie bleeping Moore.

 

[popularwar]

He was picked long before us, how is that even an option?

 

[MoTown Finman]

We didn't have the chance to pick Ernie Sims...but, if we are playing that game how about Drew Brees instead of Jamar Fletcher!

Because in the redo the lions didn't draft Sims. Just like the saints didn't draft Bush. In the redo only like 3 teams ended up drafting the same 1st round pick, and only like 5 or 6 teams drafted someone they drafted at all in 2006.
