Draft Impact Revisited

[So Be]

I posted a number of times on Phans overvaluing what the draft can bring to a team on an immediate basis, and past that. Lat's take a look at what our team has done.

Here is a listing of every pick Miami has ever made for reference.

It's way too early to tell on the last three drafts, although many Phans think results are immediate. Over the last three drafts, the only impact has been from Landry and Jenkins. That's about it.

Go back to the three years before this, where you have a real evaluation. I see Tannehill, Vernon, Miller, and Matthews (three of which are FA).

I know you have to build through the draft but hell, should we not have gotten Lucky at least a time or two for a real Pro Bowler?

Yeah, and many don't want to keep Misi and did not want to pay Pouncey.

The problem is you are looking at the Dolphins. Look at the good teams like the Patriots, Packers, Cowboys etc.

Dion sims is a quality player jawaun james is a quality player...billy turner looks quality in his future...

I'd say we are not hitting a good percentage of draft picks though I can't figure out is it due to poor scouting, poor scheme/player fit, or poor coaching and player development?

Beat me to it......agree....

Then we get rid of some of the good players that we do draft like V Davis, S Smith, and C Clay. Some of you think getting rid of them was a good thing but I bet most of us would love to have those guys starting on our team right now...... Lets see if we can keep our own groomed talent in Matthews and L miller. Do not care about Vernon

The Vontae Davis trade still sucks. Who did that 2nd round pick turn out to be? Was it Dallas Thomas?

Who would you blame? He was the one doing the drafting and the record shows how horrible he was

Can't remember which was which, but it was either used to trade up for Dion Jordan or used on Jamar Taylor.

Yes. It will take this franchise at least a decade to overcome the stinking mess of a roster for which Jeff Ireland is responsible.

Watching TNF right now, sure would've been nice to stay where we were and grab Eifert (as most predicted) instead of trading up for the bum Jordan
