The overriding issue is that these guys devote so much time to studying players. Months and months, with prior years also a slice. So naturally they develop favorites and biases. You wait for 3 days in April and when the names come from outside your favored list no kidding there is tendency to get frustrated and express it.
Also, these guys in general are higher caliber than other similar versions that own more of a national presence and following. That has to be bothersome as well. I always feel particularly bad for the commonmanfootball guy on YouTube because I think he is second to none...sharply incorporating stuff like analytics and production along with age, yet his videos might earn 100 views and a handful of comments. He asked for 275 Patreon followers to keep going. I think he got 36.
Simply too much competition out there.
I don't expect the Dolphins to dominate one round after another. Just make a steady stream of logical decisions that are above the curve. The early rounds are exponentially more significant than the late rounds in that regard. Far too often the Dolphins butchered perspective and the choice in the first round, but fans deflected that based on decent picks later.
Now the trend is reversed and I'm happy about that. The later picks will take care of themselves, mostly blending into mediocrity. The Dolphins never figured to execute a successful tank because if you are 6 to 10 wins for a decade there's a fundamental reason for it...everything in your building attaches to that range, from owner thought process to scouting thought process, etc. We are not likely to escape immediately, in either direction.
Wilkins was an astute pick. This was the second consecutive year the first round seemingly came down to a handful of guys and the Dolphins picked from them, instead of making an asinine choice like Dillard. Older regimes would have taken someone like Dillard. The second round was not Josh Rosen. It was the trade down from 48 to 62. As soon as I saw that I was thrilled. It was instantly apparent what was likely to happen: That 62 could be used to appease Arizona. After all, they got their second round pick for Josh Rosen. Meanwhile the Dolphins added additional fuel for 2020. Not Tua fuel. Maneuverability fuel. Rosen was like a wonderfully inexpensive rent with option to buy.
I'm not sure I could name the remainder of our picks. Crowd players get drafted in that range and then everyone tries to nitpick one Crowd from another.
