2021 Draft Day 2 Grades

[DZimmer000]

Let’s see those grades!

Gonna have to be an A for me both days. We added a playmaker WR, a playmaker DE/OLB, a playmaker safety, a RT to lockdown Tua’s blindside and a solid “traditional” TE. I would have liked to end up with Carter or Gainwell, but I’m not disappointed with who we got.

D for me, not bad players but we could and should have gone in different directions and got terrible value on practically every pick in the draft so far.

Absolutely loved the Holland and Eichenberg picks. Hunter Long while a surprise, is a solid player.

I laughed watching Dyami Brown get picked right after and turned off the iPad for the night.

My oldest turns 21 later this year... hope he gets to see a Dolphins playoff win one day.

I'm a huge fan of Holland. That guy is a ballhawk and someone I could see Flores pounding the table for.

Eichenberg is solid and likely someone Miami viewed as the last plug and play tackle in the draft. Hence the trade up.

Long is a good player, but there were a few others I might have preferred there. Carter and Meinerz were on the board. I'll take a wait and see approach there.

Was sorry to see Williams go one pick before Miami, but I'm not convinced he was a target. Maybe, maybe not.

I think today was a really good day. The only negative is that no running back was added, but the players they did get were great values in the spots they were picked. Grier is having a great draft so far.

Love the Holland pick. I really wanted a T today, but I'm iffy on Eichenberg, and I'm less than thrilled about Long; I wanted a C.

I gave it a B just because Slimm had all 3 picks in his best available player left for day two
The first 2 in his top 11

I'd be lying if I said i followed any of these guys and had a clue as to how good they will be

 

[Pandarilla]

I just gotta trust them when they pick secondary. I know what looks good to me but the last safety I liked was Malik Hooker. I am happy they're still taking their shots with DB's, though.

Say my name!...Eichenberg

Not on my radar but pleasantly surprised. I heard San Fran wanted him a pick later. Glad we moved up for a versatile tackle.

TE from Boston College? Meh...

 

[Eggiweggs]

Watching us pass on Jenkins, then trade up for Eichenberg made me think of last years draft. That is when the Dolphins should've traded up, to get Wirfs. I know that trading up requires a partner, but even if they needed to overpay they should've done it. Not feeling great about today, especially going TE instead of Meinerz, but I guess we'll see.

I'll give it a B. Solid, if not reaches, at several positions of need (especially going forward). These should all be starters. Not star players who are difference makers mind you, but average guys that suit up each Sunday and collectively raise the talent level of the roster to slightly above average. It's shaping up to be another ho hum, unspectacular display of ineptness by the guy who has kept us mediocre for a decade plus. Better Day 2 than 1

All of your posts have been so positive, but I'm detecting a slight tint of sarcasm. I'm not sure.

Mel Kiper just praised our draft as one of his favorites as the broadcast ended for the night
