2016 Miami Dolphins Draft Class Can Be Special

[fisi]

Am talking about offense, Defense and ST. Offensive line improved, this could be the best Miami draft since 1983.



The Dolphins unquestionably added some intriguing return options during the 2016 draft with the selections of running back Kenyan Drake in the third round and wide receiver Jakeem Grant in the sixth, but that’s not all they did for the special teams.

In fact, as much as this draft could wind up helping the Dolphins on offense and defense, it could provide an impact on special teams as well.

“When you look from a special teams standpoint, the background that some of these guys have certainly excites the special teams staff, mostly myself,” special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi said. “A lot of the skill sets that some of these guys have – you look right on through from the second round on – I think all of these guys (have the) skill set (and) have the ability.”

What they're saying isn't wrong though.

We need to move Landry out of this ST role, as his value is needed much more as a WR. I think we have playmaking capability on ST now, and I hope we can save Landry's injuries. Let him work on the craft that will get him a big contract

I really wish we landed Jordan Howard, otherwise I quite like this draft.

Ten thousand thumbs up, cant believe he was valued as a mid round pick. Absolute beast of a runner. He will be a legitimate 1,000 rusher. I strongly believe that

Miami had to nail this draft. It is the only way they can be competitive for years to come, after years of spending, bad classes and letting go of their own

Definition of a grinder. In the red zone and in short yardage situations he's going to be dominating IMO. I thought he would of been the perfect compliment with Ajayi.

The last time I was tempted to give the Dolphins draft class marks this high was 2012. Seems to me like it legitimately belongs in the top 5 or 6 team drafts this year, not accounting for efficiency or what picks teams started with, etc. Purely in terms of which players you came out with.

We need the 2015 draft class to be just as special, if not more so since 5 of them will be competing for starting spots. Maybe 6 if Douglas can get it together.
