[h=3]25. Miami Dolphins[/h]
Score: 114 points (2 players)
The lowdown: Tunsil's tumble was the Dolphins' gain, as the team was able to secure Brandt's top-rated prospect with the No. 13 overall pick. Still, with four selections in the top 86 picks, the Dolphins were only able to get two players rated in Brandt's Hot 100.
The players (points):
No. 1: Laremy Tunsil, OT, Ole Miss (100)
No. 87: Xavien Howard, CB, Baylor (14)

Grier: "Mikey....we only drafted two players in Brandt's top 100..."

Tbaum: "You've got to be ****ing kidding me!!!"

Grier: "I'm afraid not sir."

Tbaum: "tell me it was for at least 120 points. At the VERY least 120 points."

Grier: "Sir.....it was for 114 points..."

Tbaum: "DAMMMMMMMMNNNNIIIIIITTTTT!!!!!!"

So the draft was **** b/c these guys aren't on Brandt's Top 100 list? Too funny.

I will never understand grading draft classes before a game is even played. Honestly, who the hell has any clue. By far my biggest pet peave of the offseason.

I thought it interesting that it was based entirely on Gil Brandt's top 100. Would have held more weight if it were a combination of draft gurus at NFL.com.

Miami was given one of only six A grades by one of their experts (Brooks I think). Of course, draft grades are very subjective at this point as it's way too early to tell what will actually happen when the games begin.

I think all draft gurus out to be required, by law, to list their team post draft grades and how those grades looked post-season . . . for the last 5 years. Give fans some idea how good they really are at their craft.

Want to have some fun? Go back and look at the grades these "experts" gave the Seahawks for their 2012 draft. It's a rewarding exercise that reminds us that many of these smarmy D-bags are no better than you or I at projecting the future.

I know I break it out every once in a while, and this seems an appropriate time...for the draft "experts":

Part of the problem with projecting grades is that many of these experts aren't rating players on scheme fit. A good example was a writer mentioning that the Dolphins might have considered Mackenzie Alexander over Xavien Howard and not realizing that Howard is a better scheme fit.

And that is where Seattle makes it happen. They have a great talent for finding people that fit their scheme.
